Game Thread 1/15/22: Knicks visit Atlanta- Hawks, looks to stop 4 game skid

[D-Leethal]

evan has been a key to the turnaround, even tonight he hit some key shots to break ATL's momentum...

I wouldn't give him away unless you're getting value back. I think Burks should go if anything.

Evan is starting to fit, no doubt. But something’s gotta give and Burks does alotta things Evan doesn’t do. I want Grimes and Reddish to play. We aren’t good enough to stuff all these young guys on the bench. If they trade Burks instead I’m fine with that but I think we should still trade Fournier.

Rose out has something to do with that. And Obi basically useless at the moment

I baffled why obi has stopped running the floor and just stands in a corner on offense. I don't know if thibs instructed him to do that?

[PatEwingNBAJam]

Im actually starting to like Fournier. But Kemba and Nerlins can still go. I wish we had D Rose healthy i cant wait for him to come back. Were finally looking like potentially a better version of last years team

This game showing if we had Mitch in playoffs last year we easily win that series.

you realize they were missing Capela and Bogs tonight and Hunter is just coming back? I'm not sure what this says to be honest, those are two very key players who were out.

I definitely think so. At times, everyone does that lol. Fournier does that all the time. If the ball doesn’t swing his way, he stands there for 5 minutes with no touches

Our offensive sets are beyond simple/predictable

[Slimsim]

Rosen is the leader that our bench need to get them going hopefully seems like they alled flamed out

[THE MTL]

Kemba and Noel can go and I think we’re better off trading Fournier because Grimes is legit, we have Reddish now, and Burks is just a Swiss Army knife that Thibs loves.

I'm keeping Fournier. He brings a skillset no one else has on the team.

It's hard to get bench guys like Obi going when Thibs calls a whole time out to get Randle back in when he needs to change shoes

Bog is actually not what he was last year from what I seen and heard he regressed, capella isn't a real threat offensively but he does help they defense to some degree. Gallo actually had a great game compare to other nights. Chances are ifnthey had them we still probably pull it off

I notice that thibs leash on obi is alot shorter than. Grimes and IQ but Obi does **** up on the defense and get beat way to often

i think Grimes not only has that skillset but plays better defense, how many rookie sG's do ok against Trae, he's the real deal and a "Alan Houston shot.

I'm kind of sick of the most point interview, Burks was the clear MVP of this game, he was just solid and almost had a triple double and thats with Randle controlling the ball a lot in the second half.

And he covered Trae, great job by Burks.

Obi looks like a guy who thinks he's getting traded, this is not the Obi on the court we are used to seeing. He had an opportunity for a lob from Taj, and Taj actually thru it and Obi just kept running under the basket and the ball went out of bounds

That is a guaranteed dunk just a back two games ago

I said it earlier it almost feels like if obi might be the next one on the block. He's not playing with that swag anymore

[nycericanguy]

just a thought but if we play CHI in the 1st round, they are very beatable. we've played them well and close all year.

games i've seen and honestly only a handful this year but he's been fine, and doing what he does, Capela.

When your center who defends and in 29 min gets you 12 and 13 that is big time missed with 1.5 blocks as well.

Bogs is not scoring as much but 12 points and he also plays very good defense, so they are two key guys missing for them. Like us saying if Burks didn't go, just can't look at numbers.

And for some reason and maybe it's me but Trae didn't look his aggressive self, not the Trae that can go off for 56?
