Well, not as low expectations as your Knicks lose by 22 prediction befoer the game started. Another not really a Knick fan. I think you have a Lebron poster in your room - does he glow in the dark?

Deep team just not deep enough to play rookies and can’t find 20 mins for your year 2 PF who has been playing well against a team playing SF’s at center. I have not been feeling Thibs since he played Payton all year and I continue to not be all in on him. He plays favorites and is one of them old school coaches that play you by salary.

Yall can keep making excuses for Thibs if you want.

Thibs is Therrible and I've been telling all of you this for a season and a quarter.

?? He did win coach of the year? Got his team to the playoffs in year 1??

Our perimeter players (pos1-3) hit 4 from 22 attempts from 3. Burks was ok.

RJ, Evan, Rose (2/9 from 2s) and IQ (1/8 from 3s) were awful.

Haven't watched a game in 2 weeks and not gonna watch until Walker is gone. Fournier to the bench would be a plus, as well.

We'll win some games, but we'll lose more because our starting 5 is garbage esp. with Walker as the lead guard and as our PG defender. He will continue to get cooked.

My thoughts on thibs :

-has team 3 games from 1st seed
-Makes you want to pull your hair out
-Definition of playoff starter pack
-In a way is this teams superstar

Playoff starter pack :
1. Yelling = cares
2.D- fence
3.Vets have roles. But not that big .

Richard4444 · Post #110 » by **Richard4444** » Mon Nov 22, 2021 5:38 am

Thibs needs to bench Kemba and Evan, starting IQ and Burks in their place. I don't know if has the balls to do it.

Politics and narratives ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Knicks basketball.

How is he supposed to do that when he never gets starters minutes? It’s “big minutes” for Obi when he gets 18 minutes in a game. Our second year lottery pick.

His per36 stats for this game would be 27pts/16rbs/5blks

Well, not as low expectations as your Knicks lose by 22 prediction befoer the game started. Another not really a Knick fan. I think you have a Lebron poster in your room - does he glow in the dark?

Who are you? You’re the judge of Knicks fandom? No idea who you are but just because you masturbate feverishly to Randle’s spin moves doesn’t make you more of a Knick fan than anyone else here. Sit down and know your role.

Obi demonstrated he could even block shots tonight. He needs to work on his three - but he's coming around.

We'll have to see how this roster shakes out long-term and specifically how injuries factor in.

However, I cannot fathom why Thibs is content to let Randle dominate the basketball for so much of every possession, which (as it did tonight) only leads to his teammates having to put up bad shots late in the clock. Thibs is clearly a terrible offensive coach.

For those of you pining for Derosen and Ball, remember that Chicago gave a #1 in each deal. They didn't just pay them. They ended up having to do sign & trades to fit them in. Bulls were desperate to do something to keep Levine happy and make him willing to re-up with them.

What happened is that that “it” hasn’t happened, i.e. consistency. IMO he’s more hype than skill.

Hate to say it, but you got to blame Thibs at this point.

When one player is bad for a stretch, you can blame that player. But when the whole starters are consistently playing terrible that’s on coaching.

You can tell Fournier has no idea when his shots are coming and that’s why he isn’t ready to shoot. Thibs don’t have these guys prepared at all.

Read on Twitter

Good news is that the Lakers are even worse in 3 quarters than us. We might actually have a chance tomorrow

We didn’t give up a first for Ball. Hopefully the league doesn’t take one…
