This aint the NBDL .Backup pt Joseph was basically laughing at his D .is worst than Calderon.Publicity stunt plain and simple, Knicks should be giving a shot to someone with a chance of being a NBA player.

You can tell this after 2 mins of playing time??? Great
fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

When Jose Calderon is your starting NBA PG, Jimmer doesn't look that far from him. In related news, I agree with you.

Not his first NBA rodeo, to be honest.

He still might bring something with his shot.

Knicks can go lower than Jose Calderon??? Are you phucking kidding me?

Jimmer is simply a dice roll, if they catch lightning in a bottle the 10 days he's here, then they extend him for the rest of the season then evaluate afterwards. Remember they did the same thing with Jeremy Lin, there's ZERO risk in a Westchester Knicks NBDL call up.

No, I can tell this from watching him in college and seeing some Westchester games even when he exceled. Doesnt take a genius just a understanding of the distinction between levels of play. Fans here what to delude themselves it seems. Grasp at any straw. It's sad that the franchise filled a spot with him rather than find a diamond in the rough

None are fixable right now, so we are just venting.

Yes indeed.Just irks me that we had this spot open for some time to fill with a real longshot and now default to this one trick pony who is known around the league. Tells me that FO knows the season is shot, just about giving some curious fans what they crave for minutes of garbage time. They should have dealt at deadline . Worked last night, many stuck around for the circus

Agree. Leave him on the court and let him play through his mistakes at this point.

Word. Grant should be starting at this point of a lost season. Making the playoffs is a foolish objective. For what? To get swept in round one.

Let's focus our efforts on developing the talent that will endure here, not grind our only star into mush by overplaying him.

Circus is what fans make of the Jimmer signing.
I have not read where he is the second coming of Lin by anyone than fans clamoring for knicks to sign him.

The hate for Jimmer is amazing. Where were all these negative comments and articles when Thansis was signed to a 10day contract? Seeing all the hate he receives from people for no reason makes me want him to succeed so he can shove it in their mouths. The guy signed a 10day contract so he can audition for the 15th roster spot. By the way people are reacting to it you would think he was signed to a 5 year deal at the max to be our starting PG.

Nobody was thinking that Thanasis was coming in and be in the rotation. A lot, including me, thinks that he should be in the rotation. That is why people are reacting.

Its the "Cult of Jimmer" stuff that drives some crazy, and I'll bet it drives some of the players and coaches crazy, too.

Jimmer is 26, and has been tossed from team to team since he was drafted much higher than his talent warranted, yet some around here continue him as some kind of savior.

I'm hoping that he shows us something which earns him some playing time, but some folks have to temper their enthusiasm about what he can do for a team.

There is zero NBA talent in our backcourt. I rather play a 26 year old who can actually hit a contested jumper and has a future , then to play a pg who wouldn't even be in the NBA right now if he was a free agent in Joses
