PG Knicks/Heat (Everybody hates Yabu?)

[thebuzzardman]

I think we have played awful last couple games. Too much 3 point chucking for my liking. Defense has been abysmal

They haven't played well this season yet.

I can't believe I've seen like 5 videos touting how good "the new look offense is"

It's dogsh*t. At least the way these players execute it.

[Red Vines]

Work in progress...not worried about Miami. But KAT needed to step up with Deuce out. Now that some of the player weaknesses are showing it will be interesting to see who Brown can coach up & who doesn't adjust. Not giving up on Yabu but he should probably do the butt reduction now and be ready for the playoffs.

[thebuzzardman]

yabu and clarkson not doing what we need to help the bench scoring.

they got the contributions from Jacquez and Fontecchio

Leave the fat kid alone.

Og and kat shot a combined 10/27 and 6/20 from 3. They have to be better specifically kat seeing how he is a negative on defense.

Maybe the offense should generate some cleaner looks for two guys below average at putting the ball on the floor.

It's like the Knicks subbed out one uncreative coach for another.

[Capn'O]

horford was shutting down joker the other night and the only thing yabu is shutting down is the frosty machine at his local wendys. sad.

Maybe Yabu and Joker were hanging out at Eurobasket

I don't think there was ever a shot at us getting Horford but that would've been awesome.

he claims he went to golden state because he wanted one more shot at a title. who has the easier road to the finals ?

Maybe he doesn't like us? I dunno. There was never a rumor.

[thebuzzardman]

This game was lost on the Brunson sub in the 3rd. Which isnvery scary.

Sent from my SM-S9080 using RealGM mobile app

Brunson subbed in and ruined the game with selfish play?

[thebuzzardman]

I'm just going to hate Diawara right now and save time, because Knicks have zero luck with anyone associated with France.

[thebuzzardman]

I don't hate Yabu. He's just been eating too much. He sets great screens but if he can shed some weight he'll be much better.

Next you'll be saying he's big boned or has a thyroid problem.

Trouble is Yabu is out there looking like Precious, and I mean the person from the movie, not the guy on the Knicks last year.

[thebuzzardman]

some might say it’s worth eating a few regular season losses to get the bench more minutes and I guess we’ll see about that but looking at the plus minus stats I think this would have a been a win with thibs

To elaborate further the bench was playing terrible in the 3rd and they should have got the leash sooner

It's October 26th. This game is irrelevant. Developing the bench is absolutely critical if the goal is to reach the finals and win.

i really don't think so. they probably should see what they can get for yabu/ fodder and a pick swap at the deadline. maybe that's enough salary to get a real player.

Mitch might fetch something. He might as well be of some use. Who needs an expiring?

This is the time when you figure your bench and rotations out. There will be AWFUL combinations (Hart and Fatass) that won't work but, better knowing that now then being forced into panic stricken moves.

I saw Hart, Fatass and Clarkson out there together and figured Brown either lost his mind or was experimenting again.

[TheGreenArrow]

I'm still hopeful we trade KAT before the deadline...

i'm with it but it has to be for a 2nd star. mikal or og can't be your number 2 option. can you even get a good 2nd star for him ?

Randle and divo should be enough……..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thebuzzardman]

Also, as rough as KAT's offense was we still won his minutes because he was rebounding and defending. We got absolutely smoked in the bench minutes and the Pirate and Italian Cheese Man killed us. Part of that is simply not having Deuce, who's been awesome so far this year.

also even in a really good year we are going to lose 30-35 games. Not too concerned but Yabu was suppose to be a contributor.

Nah, we winning 55+

Edit: sorry I meant to say 25-30....I believe we will be in the mid 50's as well.

This is a 45 win team

[ctorres]

One player I've really been happy with who has exceeded my expectations is Tyler Kolek!

I feel like the team started to struggle when Brown decided to have both Brunson and Kolek on the bench at the same time.

Only a matter of time for Kolek to go off. I hope we stick with him and keep building his confidence.

"Sir, you aren't allowed to put your head under the machine"

Losing to a sh.itty Miami team

We need to trade for LaMelo. He had 38 13 and 13 in a win tonight. It’s our destiny

[thebuzzardman]

Did we signed another Michael Sweetney?



We had a chance to win the game. Some mental mistakes that will get fix down the road.

When is Mitch coming back?

In the 2nd quarter I hoped Brown would play them together.

I know, the defense would be horrible. Still, was hoping, since Deuce was out.

[TKKnicks1]

Lots of overreactions right now but the fact remains that Deuce is our main bench guy and it's tough to make up for his loss. Clarkson was supposed to be that guy but he just doesn't understand his role yet. Game 3 of a brand new coach. Let's keep the jump off a bridge scenarios till at least the trade deadline.

[Ravenxvirall]

Ok I’ve got a couple questions. If Kat is that limited with the quad why is he playing every game? Also why the hell is Robinson out still? Did he hurt himself in the offseason? Or are we holding him for a trade? I’ll add another question, if this bench doesn’t start to get hot do we package a higher end guy to get two or three contributors?
