Bro I'm fat and 5'9, played intermittently ever since I left college 8 years ago and I'm still shooting 60% from FT. This is unacceptable.


It's his first SL game. Unacceptable? Get your chit together


Exactly. I mean, I shoot 80% with my eyes blindfolded.


Yeah Wingo, those little toilet paper targets you like to pee on are fun and all ..............

Actually he is because you expect all things Knicks to be bad.

Him and Knox are both better than I expected

That being said, there's still a ton of work needs to be done, but I don't think RJ's gonna be a sieve. Just needs a minute to catch up, he has all the measurables to be good

For all the talk on RJ I just want to say that this dude is already a passable NBA defender.

That's more than I expected, tbh. I think he can be a net positive defender with time.

Mitch is Mitch, Knox looking significantly better, and I do like Trier, but man does the ball just stop when he's on the floor. He's a good player, just kills what little ball movement we have


Knox looks better on defense? Rebounding?

He looks halfway serviceable on defense. Which is a massive step up from worst in the NBA last year


He's trying. And he had several very good sequences on D where he made Zion miss badly

So far good I guess.
It's a small ball lineup.
Trier with 14 and 4 assist but 5 fouls already, damn.
