Time to shift and make Grimes and RJ 3a and 3b as far as the scoring options. The Knicks have been underutilizing Grimes as a scorer all year. Hopefully, he has turned the corner and can give us 15-17 points a game. I'm happy for Grimey. Nice guy, great 2-way talent. Exactly what this team needs more of. But where I'm different is the bold statement. What if the slow start was on Grimes? Maybe he just wanted to fit in and not rock the boat. I know there's been plenty of times where he's watching all 3 dominate the ball. And when he finally gets a pass, he's focused on moving the rock instead of shooting it. This happens a lot when your a system shooter on an ISO heavy team. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.
The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

I think the biggest thing is the improvements he's made driving off the catch. That'll transform him into the team's next headache rookie extension. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

I love grimes man. He can shoot pass and defend. I want to see him pull up more like he did in college. I think he can be a long term 15 log here
The Future is Bright!

Averaging 21 per over the past 4 games! Thibs just keeps on adding guys to the arsenal. I think it's more about attacking the weakest link in the defense and taking the shots the defense gives up. Sometimes that will be Randle and Brunson putting guys on an island and sometimes it will be having IQ and Grimes bust the zone. And sometimes it will be Robinson dominating inside like vs. Boston.
The Knicks have shown the ability to situationaly dominate teams. A lot of that comes down to having a variety of plug and play personnel. I think New York has proven all it can in the regular season, the next obvious step is seeing if we can become a playoff regular. |

Grimes is the human form of cocaine. Just listen to this. This is him probably all mellowed out too

The smallest of small sample sizes but also very relevant in our hearts
https://knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/let-the-real-games-begin All you need to know about how Grimes finished up his sophomore campaign (and how much of a weapon he should be against the Cavaliers) can be gleaned by looking at the NBA leaders in 3-point attempts over the final eight games of the regular season.

Hate to be the pessimist here. Giving Grimes his flowers on he can shoot, and I've made my opinions on Grimes pretty clear (my opinion hasnt changed). Having said that, no one realistically expects his 53% FG and 46% 3pt percentages to hold up long term, right?
