I will say I do respect that you show up after wins (that you didn't watch)...whether or not you think they are solely because of Thomas or not.
I can at least say you are around after wins....can't say the same for some
cough cough

I’ll trust my judgement will still be better not even watching the game than whatever your intoxicated brain is processing at 10 pm to midnight

I'm not saying Julius and Divo were traded because JB wanted it. I said the effect of trading them was that the ball became all JBs. The set up has become all Brunson which is problematic.mpharris36 wrote:prophet_of_rage wrote:Yeah that's why Divo shouted out "That's what happens when they let you run things" to Rick.

We are one dimensional because Thomas is limited as a HC.
And we were forced to making the KAT trade because of what happened with Ihart.
Ihart leaving and Mitch projected to miss more than half the season along with Randle extension talks being non existent. They weren't in a position to lose everyone with gaining some contract flexibility and finding a guy that could double as a center in KAT.
It had nothing to do with trading away usage players so that Brunson was the only option...come on man!
That's it. The probkem is when people start btinging fandom into basketball discussions. Thry get offended when I say Jalen is selfish. He is. He looks to get his first. He has to concentrate on finding people.HEZI wrote:3toheadmelo wrote:HEZI wrote:

He’s not really lying about us getting rid of our best playmaker (Randle) and getting much worse defensively with KAT at the 5. Brunson is too used to letting Randle playmake, so he’s been struggling to act as the main playmaker. And Donte has more heart than mikalikina. I’ve accepted this team is mid so I’m just here for the jokes now.
There’s definitely truth to that. I think Randle had a gravity that this team just doesn’t have. Randle would face double teams and that created a lot of kick out and swing pass opportunities. I hated Randles game but I can definitely see where this team needs more of that type of gravity from someone other than Brunson. KAT is more talented but just doesn’t draw in the defense the same way Randle did.
This team is definitely mid so I don’t blame you there. There isn’t enough improvement made where you can say they can’t lose to Indiana again.

Yeah, I saw this and almost threw my drink at the TV. Josh flat-out refusing to shoot is unacceptable. Teams see this and know they can back off him.

Are we sure he isn't - he is constantly traveling and moving locations. The amount of criminals that hang out here. This place might as well move to the dark web.
I don't know, but I do know an elite talent at scamming when I see one. This man would be a nightmare with ChatGPT and talking to older people to get their accounts, but thankfully he seems to channel that into scamming us instead.

I said Hart had to take on the Randle role and take the ball out of JB's hands more because he is more of a connector. He is.
I said the problem with the Knicks roster is that everybody needs to be passed the ball and teams will put big athletes on JB to stop the Knicjs offence.
I'm saying that if you fire Thibs Knicks cronyism will promote Rick instead of going out to find somebody young and new.
And I'm saying that if Thibs doesn't really coach offence then you have to admit the reason the offence isn't imaginative is because the players aren't imaginative, especially the guy with the ball.
My crime is that I don't assign all blame to one whipping boy anf think one change will fix everything.

The only time I can remember Thibs benching Hart in a moment like that is in the Heat game where he put Mikal back in the game after benching him the entire 4th. If the Blazers decided to trap Bridges coming off that screen on the game winner what does Hart provide in that situation?
With 3.5 seconds left, and no Jalen:
Towns
OG
Bridges
McBride
Hart (over Payne)
I can see a future where Hart is on the bench with a healthy Jalen.
If you have time to get a rebound or need to potentially create some havoc, then Hart over McBride.
Almost want to say if hart is out there you have to play him at center and put him under the rim. And play everyone else out at the perimeter. He’s more impactful scoring at the rim and possibly grabbing an offensive board than he is with shooting the ball
