But Evan Fournier!

Evan Fournier is literally the only player who makes me not want to watch NY basketball.

I'd rather watch Eddy Curry play.

I dropped Fournier again from my fantasy team. Last time I did that, he busted out his next game. So maybe that’s a sign. But I’m done with him fantasy wise. And picked up thibs man Burks. Burks needs Rose or someone else to run point. He’s a better catch n shoot guard than a dribble up and pass PG.

Absolutely on Burks - he can’t run an offense. What is THibs thinking?

That Kemba wasn't running the offense and didn't play defense? And also opted out of playing back-to-back when Rose was out?

And the results of benching him have been spectacular

Isn't BRIGGS supposed to be in charge of the knee-jerk threads?

Well…..I’m one that never considered know a bust. A bust is someone who can’t contribute at the nba level. Knox problem is that he was drafted too high. With a high pick comes high expectations. If he was a low 1st or high 2nd, the expectations would’ve been lower and he could’ve evolved into a stretch 3 or 4 type player and hone in on those skills to succeed. Instead fitz played him without earning it. And knox was given a false since of reality. But we will see once he’s on another team. He’s a solid player just selected too high. Looks like his confidence isn’t shot which is a great sign for him and his trade value. He’s only 22 I believe

Seems like those expectations are only with fans and media and not coaches. I literally don't see Thibs basing Knox minutes on where he was drafted, more like what he sees in practice and on court during games.

Knox has been low motor space cadet almost his entire tenure here, except for a freak blip under Fitzdale. Not sure how he didn't earn playing time, he was Player of the Month or something under Fitz, wasn't he? Seems like eons ago...

This has to be the nadir of this season... discussing Knox...

And probably when he looks down at his bench and there's barely anyone there. I wonder if Theo Pinson would have gotten some burn now?

Funny and spot on.

Is that a light at the end of the tunnel?

No. No. I recognize that guy. Why that's Kevin Knox!

Knicks player development poster player, Dec. 2021, the second season of Covid, a place where even Kevin Knox looks good.

What of hometown, home grown, home-schooled Kemba Walker? Towels are for waving.
