Better than Payne jacking threes, yes. A playmaker like Kolek would get the 4 starters in position and get them better shots

i feel like there's been less than 3 "blowouts with rest" this entire season. whether the knicks are up or down huge Thibs usually doesn't go to the bench until like 3 minutes left regardless.


We had quite a few big wins in the first 30 games of the season, but Thibs would still keep in the starters until the 2-3 minute mark anytime our lead was less than 15-20 points. I don't recall the game, but there was a game when we were up by something like 27 points and there were still starters on the floor at the 2 minute mark which drove some people here mad.

Having to sweat against the god awful Wizards after losing to two lottery teams is a joke.

a lot of our guys preference is not to take 3s. they'll take them but it's not the shot they want the most.

Sometimes I wonder if defenders are scared when OG is attacking off the dribble knowing that he is basically going in a straight line no matter if you are in front of him or not

there will be no Kolek minutes

thibs will play him and unless the team is dominating his minutes he will yank him out after 2-3 minutes like he always does

Except this particular group of starters does not want to be set up for shots. THey want to create them by themselves.

the rare time an 8 second call happens when there is zero defensive pressure i always wonder if players just forget that is an actual rule.

Kolek is a QB who will distribute the ball all over the field, take him out and we're running a wildcat offense. Wild KAT literally.
