Sims +20 in 23 mins. Love what im seeing from him. He moves really well laterally so has good potential on switches. goes up vertically too. idk if we really need mitch honestly. dont want to lose him for nothing though. maybe we can sign and trade him

No reason to overrate Sims like we overrate every other young player we've had for the past 10 years. He's been okay, but we need to see some consistency. 1 solid game out of 5 doesn't impress me enough to say we don't need Mitch. Let it play out before we start anointing him like we've anointed all the rest of 'em. You're just setting yourself up for disappointment.

5 games back with 14 to play. Can we now say that the playoffs/in are a pipe dream?

I would call it a pipe nightmare but sure

Did someone say pipe?

Just a reminder the players missing for the nets today would be the best Knicks lineup in 20 plus years

The truth and so sad.

[KnicksNext]

Kyrie
Curry
Simmons
Aldridge

Knicks haven’t been that talented in a really long time

It's true that the Knicks would be in a much better position with just the players the Nets didn't play with.

And it's not even close.

game on the line:

We need that gif with an art of war quote

[DaGawd]

Sims has also looked terrible at times and lost.. sure Mitch may be gone and could be replaced but I’m not sure Sims is that guy or ready for that role just yet

[KnicksNext]

julius always commits a turnover at the end of the 1 possession games against the Nets that ends up costing them the game

We got no closer Randle becomes TO machine Burks misses everything Evans can't pass and RJ misses two straight layups. By the time rose returns this season will be over.

Call me crazy but I think the season is over already.

His motor is unparalleled (gave us a ton on second chance shots)and I love how he goes straight up for blocks. IMO this game solidifies him as our backup center.

Sims is our next great player

Nets fan here, no trolling intended.

Jericho Sims reminds me of rookie Jarrett Allen. No joke. You guys seriously have something there with him. It’s literally the exact same style of play and mannerisms. I’m not sure if the measurements length wise match but he passes the eye test. Allen had the luxury of Russell, Dinwiddie and LeVert/Napier, Jeremy Lin. Sims could look really eye opening around a healthy Rose. Our biggest mistake with Jarrett Allen was trying to force him into becoming Brook Lopez, Atkinson and Nash forcing him to shoot 3s. It just didn’t work.

I personally would start him and test the waters in a few games to see how he measures up as a Mitchell Robinson replacement before the season is over. You could potentially save so much and add an asset by pushing him and letting Robinson go.

I’d like to see more before embarrassing myself but a lot of Nets fans had many civil wars over Jarrett Allen and he’s now blossomed into an all-star.

Appreciate the kind words...I agree. He actually reminds me of Ben Wallace.

Jarrett Allen and Ben Wallace? LMAO. He's a 22 year 2nd round pick who has shown he can rebound a bit and has some hops. Probably should slow down a bit.

[KnicksNext]

grimes = Klay
rj = Jimmy Butler
Cam = Tmac
Sims = Ben Wallace
Deuce = Marcus Smart
Fourni3r = a Deity


edit
Burks = MJ

Damn! We're a lot further along than I thought we were!

What's funny is those names are the exact names we've heard by a lot of Knicks fans. I guess when you don't have much talent for a long time, the only thing you can do is overrate your own players and convince yourself they're going to be great.

[KnixtapeH20]

8,9,10 tied with 40 losses and only 2 games back for 7th. The highest we’ll probably go is 7th now. TyTy could be there at 7th

Not a chance I guarantee now we win at least 3 more maybe more. This team is ass backwards.

-> Keep Sims/Noel as the C rotation next year
-> Trade Mitch for a PG or other assets in a S&T
-> Trade either Burks or Fournier; remaining guy goes to the bench as a 7th man
-> Trade Rose to Chicago for picks or keep him as a 6th man to be traded later
-> If Cam and RJ can't convince Zion to force his way to NY this off-season, then trade Cam for assets
-> Sign Rubio to play PG; 2-year MLE
-> Draft two additional PG's with our two picks; develop them as the future

Legggggooooooooo

You can't win long term when the very coach your FO hired is not on the same page with FO. Of course it is doubtful the FO is on the same page between themselves either. Your lottery pick is averaging 15 minutes per game in his second season. Here is a game where he absolutely positively contributing and ending up with 8 minutes? Eight frigging minutes? This is madness

Adding 4 PG's in addition to McBride?

David Kahn approves.

We haven’t had a all-star level PG prospect in over two decades… it’s our greatest area of need… bring in four guys and hopefully one stands out as a stud and another as a legit back up. What we’ve been doing… hasn’t been working.

[Synciere]

Did not watch the game. How did Mitch perform versus Drummond?

i knocked out at the second half but Drummond was going ham against him in the first half. wasnt a good look for Mitch

How you knocked out the second half of an afternoon game?!??

Why would we follow the Kings though?

[bleedblue3303]

The more I watch us play the more that 3 game win streak bothers me. Was such a waste. We really could have a shot at a high pick but Thibs gonna mess it up
