Win now, baby! Because we are going places! (Just not at or above .500)

Have to go with the vets. Who wants Obi or Quick messing us up, even if Obi has just hit a big 3 and Quick is “one of the best shooters in the league.”

Yeah I never ever want to see that Rose Payton pairing again but Quick wasn't helping his case. I need Rose to sit him down and tell him to never second guess himself. Like does he not understand that 95% of fans trusts his shot the most on this team? I don't care if he hits the backboard, if he has an opening he shouldn't hesitate. Hesitation is how you end up like Frank and Knox and we don't need that right now.

It was an odd pairing and this is where Franks defense is missed. But Thibs needs the kid to hit his shots and Frank has not played in two months. The pick that sprang curry free made rose look foolish chasing him.
I’m not second guessing Thibs. He got us to the brink of .500 with this team. Further than expected.

I think he just needs shooters around he and Randle. Randle directs an offense fine but they need floor spacers.

Knicks have he greatest fans in the world...

He's up and down- had some great stretches and some stinker stretches, such is the life of an nab player. Good luck in finding a SG that doesn't have bad games!

The problem is partly in the fact that a lot of attacks go through Randle, which is understandable considering his form, but neither two of them are very compatible. When you add Robinson (or any other center) to that, it's clear that the remaining two players should be really above-average shooters ... and for us starter is Payton and replacement is Rose.

Golden state is one of the best defensive teams in the league and had their full team (minus klay of course.) they locked up Barrett and quickley. Randle and to a lesser extent rose are really the only ones who got their’s. This is one of those games the young guys are apt to struggle.

Well then no one would be upset if he's part of a trade for a ALL star. I do think he has the ability to be an all star, just don't know if that happens here if doesn't start playing more consistent

I believe he ends up like a Middleton type where he's not really a star, but a high level starter that will be an all-star a couple times in the right situation. And i don't want to give up on that type of player. His improvement this year are very obvious, even with the duds.
