It’s not “practice means nothing” it’s “games mean something”. You were spinning that narrative while Austin Rivers was ******** the bed for a month straight IN ACTUAL GAMES

I’m just messing around man. But do I think you generally dig your heels in and refuse to adjust your opinions & admit when you’re off on something? Yes yes I do.
I think so. Typically IQ getting “shut down” means doubles are coming at him, which a smart offense can actually exploit. Doubles mean someone’s open. Frank is a smart player, Burks when he’s on is...
Would be a miracle honestly. I suspected Quick/Frank could be a nice synergistic tandem and last night made me feel like that’s absolutely the case.
Rose brings a lot more than Payton imo. I just...
Starting Knox is an absurd suggestion, sorry. He has to prove he belongs on an NBA court right now, he’s nowhere near starter level.
I don’t like Obi’s defense either, I’ve made that all too clear for months on here, even prior to the draft...
Knox is a better shooter, yes. BUT Obi can put it on the deck, post up, playmake/pass...
His gather still looks slow to me and a lot of his threes are basically UFOs but end of the day I am glad he has the confidence to launch. I want him shooting threes/getting better from there. So I’m...
Obi’s three ball looks pretty horrid to me, still don’t get where some of you guys are seeing him as this good three point shooter. It’s not pretty.
BUT... I do agree with the rest of your post...
I know. I’m not saying play him now. Knox has earned his way out of the rotation. I’m just talking about developing him going forward. I don’t think we’re trading him this year so I’m guessing he’ll...
Yep I hear you. He’s frustrating. I still have hope for him but you’re right, he does all too often look very lost on defense, like he just doesn’t really grasp the concepts, 5 guys on a string,...
Agreed which is why for him I think the focus is just become an absolute sniper. If I’m Knicks development staff that’s priority number 1 2 3 & 4 with him
Yeah... he just needs to continue to improve his three ball game (which he has the toolbox to do). If he can be a sort of Bullock type from three that would go a long way for him. He has good form on...
Another thing I was called ridiculous for on here. Knox absolutely cannot guard NBA 3s. 4s who knows but I never really saw him as a small forward.
The unfortunate reality is he’s likely just a...
Lol!
Lol I’m messing around I agree with you
You don’t get it cause you’re not at the practices. Stilla runs Knicks practices so he just sees stuff we don’t ;)
Well that’s the whole problem is being convinced of anything after players’ rookie seasons. It’s not a wise way to assess players/roster and hopefully the Knicks’ philosophy begins changing on that.
Lol I seriously wanna know who ever called him Simmons or Magic on here. From day 1 my projection for him was glue guy who helps you win... initially I wanted him to be more of a PG since we’ve...
Lol totally ;)
Just happy to get wins honestly but I genuinely do not think we need Payton playing in general. He just shrinks the floor too much and the PGs should clearly be Rose/Quick. It’s...
Quicky Smokes
Frickley
Some of this is stuff I’ve been saying all season, and really even before this season. Hopefully Thibs absorbs this and makes some changes accordingly moving forward.
K I disagree but that’s fine
Yeah I said it the second we drafted him the way you mask his defensive inefficiencies is park him at the rim. It’s the one spot on the floor where he doesn’t struggle too horribly, though he will...
I think I might be at the end of the road with Burks...
