PG: Knicks-Heat aka Pass the Dutch

[snadler]

Obi played very well, but 9 minutes..smh

[thebuzzardman]

I hope there is a better explanation for RJ. Thibs is a madman

RJ was having a hard time with the traps and double teams.

That's what Thibs will say.

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Playoff hunt mode activated.
Player development mode deactivated.

This is what some of you want.

[Tron Carter]

remember when we were worried about RJB’s knees because we thought Thibs would play him too many minutes? lol

Obi will be good when he gets actual minutes. He's been showing glimpses the last few games. His teammates always miss him on cuts and stuff though.

[NewKnicks]

F*ck Thibs

the DRose trade is clearly his doing, which means he's got a big say in FO decisions

I mean from a talent standpoint, its a good trade regardless of the Thibs/Rose connection. We got more talented with that trade.

Its remains to be seen how it might **** up IQs minutes and others though.

Sure. Rose will be gone next year, and IQ will get less minutes. But at least we're 'more talented'

[Deeeez Knicks]

Where the Elf apologists at?

We lost because he didn't get his 15 shots. 9 bricks just weren't enough

[Reign23]

I’m tired of this sh*t. F*ck the vets, f*ck these rotations and f*ck the playoffs. WE ARE A REBUILDING TEAM. We have the 4th youngest team in the league. Play our young players If we lose we lose. It’s not a bad year to be in the lottery. It’s a good draft. But what I am not trying to have us role out vet min players trying to win games when those players have no future.

The fact that RJ and Quick can’t even get 20 minutes is embarrassing. F*CK DROSE TOO. We should be keeping our assets not blowing them on one year rentals, I don’t care if it’s a 2nd round pick. This kind of dumb trade just shows that our management has no idea what they are doing.

The last couple games have shown me the direction we are going, and I am not pleased at all

amen

Rivers has done that several times this year to Obi.

[thebuzzardman]

all were missing is an accused rapist

Knicks didn't want Dotson.

Oh, you mean the OTHER one.

[Handledatruth]

I think Thibs is aware he lost this game with his rotations. He stubborn but he's not an idiot.

People who've said that also said it was only a matter of time until Quickley starts over Payton.

"Thibs sees what's going on"
"Thibs isn't blind"
"Thibs isn't stupid"

I don't think he's learning from this. He likes Payton for whatever reason, and the fact that he assuredly lobbied for Rose (a point guard with a similar profile) tells me that he actually wants more of the same.

There are simple point guard things that Quickly struggles with though so just handing him starting minutes takes away accountability for these issues. I'm over complaining about Payton starting, but Thibs can clearly do better with staggering minutes. There's no reason Quickley should be prevented from playing minutes with Randle or RJ. Technically IQ should be the first guy off the bench, but instead we get Burks, Noel/Taj before the bench dump. Its lazy and not innovative at all. You can play ten players without rotating them the exact same way every game.

I'm on team "hoping that maybe just maybe Rose will take Paytons minutes and IQ will start"

But alright.

Wally explaining without saying it that it’s mind boggling Payton plays double the minutes of IQ

Yep. I didn’t care as long as some of our kids were the driving forces. But if we’re reverting back to old Knicks where vets w/ no future here (or maybe not even the NBA) play over the kids to win games now, I hope they lose out

I legit will be rooting for Thibs to fail if this is the direction we're going (and this is the direction we're going). I literally will be rooting for losses.

It's petty, but idgaf.

this is genuinely depressing to watch. No hyperbole.

this happens 2-3 times per game, and yet people trash him.

Thib's theme song:

[aq_ua]

Says a lot that teams are doubling Q.

Also says a lot that Thibs only played a guy getting doubled 17 minutes.

If IQ showed he could handle the double better (or Thibs game planned against it better), IQ might have gotten more minutes.

Ah, who am I kidding. IQ gets about 15-18 mpg no matter what.

IQ just needs to learn to attack the double team, either split it, go around the weaker defender, or make the quick pass. Can’t give Thibs the excuse to sit him.

tempers are running high, i wanna see some fighting. someone say something good about payton.

Everyone knew it Thibs does not have a lot of patience with rookies. Especially if they are struggling.
