Knicks actually sat the starters in a preseason game last year too and beat the Hornets starters 111-105.

Not sure if you can take a lot from these preseason games though.

org doesn't seem high on diawara. he's only getting 10 mins or less in every game. but he plays the right way, he's taller than 6'4, and is only 20

We really whiffed on last seasons draft. I know they had ulterior motives but Kyshawn George was selected with the Dallas pick we had. He’s probably not going to be a star but looked like he could play and would have given us some valuable size off the bench. Same with kolek and Ajay Mitchell. Had his rights too but flipped them for Kolek that needs to be playing against the wizards scrubs down by 30 to go off. When they get cute and trade around like they did when they drafted IQ, Grimes, and Deuce it’s fine but you can’t completely swing and miss. Which they’ve obviously did here.

He is locked in the roster and not in the rotation for now. We need to give minutes to players that are fighting for roster spots, like Brogdon, players that may be traded, like Pacome, and to the players locked in the rotation to build chemistry, like JC, Yabu, and Deuce.

We got something in Tosan... he's a very calm player, has length and contests shots without fouling, can defend at a high level. Offensively a very composed, and timely attacker. When he got the ball, good things usually happen.

This is a key decision time coming up and some large choices have to be made by Saturday. It explains why they played the players they did, even when the rotations weren't working out.

Good because for a team that needs low salary pieces, Diawara looks to be worth developing long term.

The fact that both the first and second units look like they have never played together after 2 + weeks of camp is really encouraging

It is Yikes. Want more yikes? Deuce McBride numbers the last two games

This game 4-12fg and 2-9 from 3. Last game 3-10 from fg and 2-7 from 3

Combining for 7-22 from the field and 4-16 from 3 in those two games

Josh Hart will be back in the starting lineup eventually because he was always the best 5th starter option we had and still is :lol:

Tell me we look terrible without telling be we look terrible.

Deuce/Yabu were the only rotation players who have looked ok so far. The starters haven't played well. Clarkson is garbage. Brogdon is washed. Matthews is as one dimensional as it gets.

This team has not played well at all yet. I'm not impressed and whatever nonsense Brown is spewing in that clip is meaningless. Everything looks disjointed so far.

The shooting from 3 is terrible because the team has no flow and rhythm because the offensive scheme sucks. It’s like 3 sho like the Princeton offense by r*tards followed by a sh*tty screen by the center and a contested 3.
Crap ball movement and nothing that frees up the primary ball handler and very few easy looks.
Thibs had to go but Brown isn’t it. Effective offensive coaches have their teams looking prepared, like they have an identity. This team just chucks 3s in transition so Brown can say he’s modern. Dude sucks.

So far, no good.

We could really use a talented young wing off the bench.

Mike Brown said in training camp that things are going to look rough in the beginning and the team will have to go through some growing pains. I'm not sure why people would be surprised that it's playing out exactly how he said it would.
