Definitely a keeper regardless of his role in the future....He's a dawg and you need more like him to win consistently in this league...

I'm not sure how this goes uncommented on by the league.
NBA Rule: "An offensive screener must have his legs no wider than shoulder width apart, and he may not extend his legs outside the vertical plane of his body when setting a screen." Freeze the video at the point of contact and Adebayo's legs are spread wider than...well...the rule allows. Much, much wider. Is the league just ambivalent to injuries in the playoffs? That was probably worthy of a flagrant and the refs just chillin' silently... |

He really stepped up last night. My hope is he can eventually develop the conscious (or lack of) as Strus or Robinson shooting the ball.

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

Mitch Robinson might need to embrace his big man role a bit more by accepting the responsibility of acting as enforcer. It might not be in his demeanor though. He presents himself as a kind yet bit aloof guy. I love the guy dearly and want the best for him, but he might need to get himself a bit of a mean streak to protect his teammates. Its like a pitcher dusting a player back. Mutually assured destruction. Bam is going to hurt one of our guys and he needs to get warned. Stepping on Brunson's ankle. The long moving pick on Grimes. I don't need him to be dirty. I just want him to be present. You know I gonna spin wit it

^^ Hartenstein has more enforcer in him that Mitch
iHart was ready to clock Zeller the other day, and i got the sense that if he starts throwing hands it won't be those sissy slaps so many NBAers do. (5)(7)

In all honesty my response to this is blow up the pick. Drive into him and sacrifice a few fouls to make them think about setting those picks. Knicks are too worried about going over or going under. Go through the pick a few times. They are getting called for BS fouls anyway. Maybe sacrifice some to make Miami second guess if the want to take a solid shoulder to the chest or gut. ~You can't run from who you are.~

Grimes playing 48 minutes in an elimination game tells you what Thibs thinks of him. I heart this so much as Thibs development philosophy is play unrelenting D, be as aggressive on offense as possible, take good shots

I don't want to take away from Quentin's epic play (might be remembered along the lines of Stark's baseline lefty dunk) but the refs swallowed their whistle on that steal because a nanosecond before they let Bam assault and batter Quentin. (the moving screens and hip checks are out of control) if they blew the whistle on QUentin on that play there is some chance the refs would not have left NYC alive (5)(7)

It will come eventually. We hope Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program
