When does Quickley get his first 30 piece bucket meal?

[NYKnickerbocker]

**** it might’ve happened tonight if he didn’t start off shaky and thibs pulled him lol

[Nostrand Ave]

If he scores 30, then how much are RJ and Randle scoring?

[Heej]

I say March, post ASB hangover for a lotta teams he can sneak em.

[DaGawd]

16 last night in limited time.. he could very well crack 30 THIS season once his time/role is expanded a bit

[jstudabaka]

Probably against Brooklyn if their defense is anything like what I saw from them against the Hawks

[prophet_of_rage]

When will IQ crack five assists? Will he get that before he gets 30?

I think for him to get a 30 piece this season it has to be a blowout game with extended garbage time where he can throw up whatever.

He won't do it with Barrett or Randle on the floor for 40 minutes.

lol this guy is the new landry fields. How about scoring 20 first?

[johanliebert]

Hard to do that in 15 minutes

Gotta develop our franchise PG, Elfrid Payton, so Quickley can't be given too much time.

haha payton can't do nothing right here.

[Galou]

Immanuel Quickley will get his 30 piece when Elfrid Payton is out of the way

[Knicksfan20]

He’ll have 20 straight 30 pt performances starting in the playoffs leading us to a championship in his rookie year.

He will be a bust and at the same time be a hall of famer.

We could have always gotten him for a 2nd rounder so he is severely overpaid no matter how well he does.

He already missed games this year. He’s just another frank.

Ignore me I just felt like trolling a bit. I think he’ll get his first 30 point game next year , but I voted for the playoffs because that would be awesome if it happened

[Spree2Houston]

30 next week against the Nets

[stuporman]

I like how 3 voters used their selection to let everyone know they believe in playoffs for the Knicks, all part of the poll design to maximize information and entertainment.

[stuporman]

If he scores 30, then how much are RJ and Randle scoring?

You mean in that one game IQ first time scores 30? Um....who the eff knows and why is that even something you contend with?

Let me help dispel any distress over how much other players may score in that particular game if or when it does happen, both RJ and Randle could potentially score at least 20 each in the very same game Quickley scores 30 for the very first time, maybe not probable but possible....

Austin Rivers has never seen a rookie like Immanuel Quickley
By Marc BermanJanuary 6, 2021 | 3:02pm | Updated



The Knicks newly formed backcourt backup pair of veteran Austin Rivers and rookie Immanuel Quickley have been so diligent in helping the Knicks to victories in the last two games they’ve inspired social-media nicknames.

One emerged this week: “Quivers”.

Apparently, Quickley didn’t like that one and suggested on Twitter: “Rickley.’’

Rivers, the Knicks’ loquacious new combo guard, frowned at both of the monikers during an interview on Zoom following Wednesday’s morning shootaround before the Knicks will play host to the Jazz at an empty Garden.

“I definitely don’t like – you said Rickley?” Rivers said. “I don’t know if I’m a fan of either of those names. I think it would be cool if we had a name, but right now Quivers is the best we got. Quivers means they shake? Or be scared or something along those lines? I’ll take Quivers, if that’s what we got for now.’’

Rivers has been scary good in closing the last two games with panache and hitting huge 3-point shots late in each win.


In their big comeback win in Atlanta on Monday, Rivers and Quickley closed the fourth quarter to rally the Knicks.

In each of the past two games, “Quivers’” played together in the first half. And Rivers knows why their chemistry seems right. He said Quickley is playing with “more confidence than any rookie I’ve seen that I’ve played with coming in.” Rivers added that he loves the pace Quickley generates.

“Things just work,’’ Doc Rivers’ son said. “I know how he likes to play. It makes it so easy because he’s so confident and vocal. Sometimes rookies are quiet and unsure. It’s hard to play with someone unsure where he’ll be at. He makes every movement – whether it’s right or wrong – confidently. It’s just easier to read and play with.

“I’m kind of similar that way in terms of playing with confidence. We are just able to play with each other and fit. I’m constantly looking for ‘Quick’ because I trust him to make the right decisions. At his age, his first year, he just doesn’t play like a rookie.”

Prior to Saturday’s game in Indiana, Rivers (groin) and Quickley (hip) were each out an extended time with injuries. Now their emergence as a backup guard pairing has enlivened the squad despite their other injuries.

For the first seven games, Thibodeau has stuck with the same starting five of Elfrid Payton-Reggie Bullock-RJ Barrett-Julius Randle-Mitchell Robinson – all returning players.

However, Wednesday may see Thibodeau’s first shakeup with Bullock listed as questionable with knee soreness. Meanwhile, Alec Burks, expected to return for this homestand, received bad news on his sprained ankle and will be out another one week-to-ten days.

Despite the ailments forcing a short rotation, the Knicks, at 4-3, have their first winning record after seven games since the 2012-13 season when they last made the playoffs.

Thibodeau, 62, keeps getting kudos from his players. Rivers believes they’ve bought in because of his past reputation as a winner.

“Thibs has a respect factor,’’ Rivers said. “Some of the stuff he says – there’s no negotiation. It’s Thibs’ way or the highway. If you’re going to play, you’re going to play his way. His way just means hard. He’s not forcing us to not take shots or you can’t do this. Thibs is just about effort and knowing your role. So every day you do that, you end up buying into a team concept. Then it becomes fun when you see a little bit of success. Ok, this works.”

For now, Rivers, who missed all of preseason, is content coming off the bench – and probably finishing despite not having one official team practice under his belt. In 555 career games, Rivers has made just 149 starts.

“Each game I’ve played I’ve gotten my wind up more and more,’’ Rivers said. “It’s still coming along. It seems like last game I pushed myself and when you do that mentally and confidence-wise, you just get to playing basketball again. You’re not really worrying about your shape.”

This seems like a jinx thread...

[NowWHYcee7]

You dudes really need to stop overrating these draft picks. Right now he seems like a nice little rotational piece and that's about it. He's not ready to start, let alone drop 30. Relax.

Do you believe in the Easter Bunny too? I'm just wondering how deep your magical thinking goes....

There's also options for 'not as a rookie' and 'never' for other opinions about him but don't blame the nuts in your mouth for your saltiness
