PG: that sucked

[TKKnicks1]

Jaylen Brown playing injured and now Tatum injured his shooting hand. Great timing for Thibs to become even more senile. We got a great chance if we can make it to the next round against the Celtics if they arent at 100%.

[Gravy]

If we dont need a bench like you say then Josh Hart has to play, who else do you want.. more Deuce and Shamet bricks?

You play a center Gravy, you play Mitch and KAT together if they're going to guard Josh with a C. The only way Josh can get around that is making a bunch of threes that makes Duren come out and guard him, or you take him off the floor and replace him with a big that makes it harder for them to switch on screens, and opens them up to rebounds. It also allows us to do exactly the same thing to them, which is guard Ausar with a C.


They play 2 non shooters...at the same time.

Dude stays trying to fight with these trash takes no matter how many L’s he takes. Almost as bad as Hezi

Imagine Luka scoring only 10pts in a playoff game and everybody blamed JJ Reddick for it lol.

[prophet_of_rage]

He just benched "Mr. 5 Picks" for almost the entire 4th quarter in the previous game. Thibs isn't just some powerless individual standing on the sidelines.

He can't do that regularly. If it becomes player versus coach you see who is removed. They just fired Mike Malone and Joerger right before the playoffs for those kind of decisions.

Fournier, Walker, Grimes, Obi, Reddish etc disagree with you The entire roster has changed in the last 5-6 years from lottery picks to top free agent signings. Thibs is the only one remaining outside of Mitch and if he could stay healthy he would probably be gone too. He has been winning the battle of player vs coach for years but it may be different this year with the raised expectations.

Mikal has actually been benched in a few 4th quarters this year. He didn't come out and complain about that but he did complain about playing too many minutes and the bench guys like Shamet and others not getting an opportunity.

Fournier expiring. The rest were rookie contracts who did not make more thab Thibs. You are proving my point.

Thibs needs to wake up and so does Mr Midget. He needs to pass the ball and find Towns for easy 3s. Enough of the hero-ball.... Hart on high alert too. Villanova family should stay away while the team is in Detroit.

[Besart19]

When we were dominating teams in November and January we were all different

Hart and Anunoby both hitting threes and cutting hard all the time

KAT passing like Jokic and rebounding like Dwight

Brunson being a first pass playmaker and on a much faster pace

McBride super confident in his shot and Mikal playing like Durant lite from the midrange

It was each night 30+ rebs only off just two players, KAT and Hart

KAT got hurt, and everything went downhill for both him and the whole team

Mitch had zero points in 20 minutes, the roster needs players that can score. When Brunson is the only reliable scorer on the team there isnt much you can do.

It's like you have no idea what you're watching. Josh had a 93.9 ORTG in that game, Mitch had a 102.5 ORTG. You were told of an adjustment they could try, and you're saying why bother because he didn't score, even though the offense ran better with him on the floor than it did with Josh. Nevermind it stops them from getting second chances, or gives us second chances or that we'd be bigger than them since our starting 5 is smaller and less athletic.

I could explain in depth, but it's pointles, you're really saying the Pistons are more talented and there's nothing we can do, what a joke.

He's now pivoting to the Pistons having more talent, it's hilarious.

can’t hear francesa without hearing the kid mero’s impersonation.

Watch on YouTube

The thing that I realized is I think he is wearing dentures and slurring his words because of them. However even slurred he was speaking the truth…

Yeah I don’t disagree with anything he said. And def don’t intend to make fun of having dentures. Just he’s been satirized so well it’s burned into my brain.

Pffft

Fournier and Walker were the big free agent signings of 2021. Kemba was benched after a few months. Fournier was benched a year later. Evan's bloated contract rotted on the bench for a couple years.

They traded a protected 1st for Reddish. Thibs didn't even attempt to play him until year 2.

Obi was a lottery pick and Sam Rose's client. He and Thibs clearly had issues.

Grimes was supposed to be the 2 guard of the future and was untouchable in a potential Donovan Mitchell package. He was eventually benched and traded.

He played Payne over Bridges in Game 1 in the 4th. He said he played Mitch over KAT in the first half of game 2 because Mitch was the only one rebounding.

How can you pretend Thibs is in danger of losing his job by simply cutting a player's minutes when he has done it many times before from lottery picks to big free agent signings?

It's impossible to explain Thibs' decision making since it doesn't make sense sometimes. We just won a game in large part because of Payne's contribution in the 4th quarter of game 1. In game 2 Thibs gave him a DNP in the 2nd half after the shortened rotation scored 18 points in the 3rd quarter and he decided to stick with it the entire 2nd half. Something that succeeded in game 1 he did not even attempt for a single minute in game 2. Why?

[Zenzibar]

Knicks just lack offensive talent in general to me, and it’s a major issue. It’s so easy to guard us when there’s only 2-3 guys that are consistently threatening. Towns and Brunson can only do so much with the defense keyed in on them

Hart//Mikal//Shamet//McBride are all super easy to guard since they aren’t reliable shooters AND don’t get into the paint vs set defense.

it's fair to say that JB is the only guy that can actually create advantages off the dribble.

we swapped IQ, RJ, I-Hart, Randle and Divo for OG, Kat and Bridges. None of them can ISO or create advantages with the ball. We really leaned further into JB hero ball and didn't even realize it.

with that said a better offensive scheme could mitigate it to an extent.

Not true.

OG is a beast, and Mikal is one of the best short game artists in the game. It's on Brunson and Thibs to be creative enough to use all his weapons.

Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady, do a great job of serving everyone and pick their spots. Brunson has to be a better quarterback, and he can be, but Thibs has to guide him.

[K_ick_God]

Mikal’s big misses weren’t all that close either

Not very

Pistons aren’t better but they have a much clearer idea of who they are

[K_ick_God]

SVG says it is our fault the Knicks stand around watching Brunson

Def not Tom’s fault

[MrDollarBills]

Move the ball, move the ball, move the ball.

This team is too talented to play this way. I refuse to believe that this is the best that this team can do offensively.

[3toheadmelo]

Nope, sorry but I only care about accomplishing my goals, this is why you ended up seeing REDACTED traded, you strayed from the goal. My goal is simple, your coach being fired just as REDACTED was traded. I do not deviate from the path I am on, a KP vs Karl "war" does nothing for my end goal, highlighting how Brunson was used by an actual NBA Championship winning coach shows how inept your man is.

LOCKED IN

My guy out here winning g league wars for Long Island


Who is this redacted player you speak of??

As the great philosopher Vincent Diesel said -

“it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning!”

Last I checked, if I'm in the g-league so are you . As for REDACTED? I don't know who you're talking about officer, can you give me a name to jog my memory?

idgaf about the thibs wars if im being honest. you can fire him for all i care lol

you mentioned redacted sir, i have no idea who that is!!

[3toheadmelo]

So true, if you are supposed to be 1B then tell your teammates to get you the ball. Dude was scared of Paul Reed

Let's be frank. It's entirely your fault

[MrDollarBills]

Josh needs to be with the 2nd unit

Mitch
KAT
OG
Mikal
Brunson

Throw Hart, Payne, Shamet, Deuce, Precious into the mix.

Play Brunson and Payne together in spurts. Let OG get his touches.

I think between Bridges and Payne you have to go with who has it going. Mikal really hasn't earned enough leeway to warrant sparing his feelings at this point.

Mitch and Hart should never be on the floor at the same time. Josh's minutes need to come down

Because cutting an important players minutes leads to firing. Not low totem guys.
