Ultimateknicks.com Forums: GameThread: Knicks host Portland, 730 3/16

Got to go! Sorry Thibs nice job, but the Knicks will need two new NBA head-coaches for the 2022-23 season, and a real head coach that's not gonna get a high $extention$ player injured playing 40 min in a Blowout.

The knicks are so much interesting to watch when the kids are given playing time.if the front office wants to stir the team back to last year's success. They need to undo last offseason's signing and double down on the youth!

We're in a tough spot to get excited about anything- we've no shot at the play in, and every win makes our first round pick worse. Players we really wanted to watch and evaluate like Cam Reddish and Grimes are out. Thibs seems intent at capping Obi's mins at 14. I'm enjoying watching RJ's development, but that's pretty much it!

If Thibs played the yoots earlier, say when he removed Kemba the 1st time, we would at least be in the playin tournament or playoffs. Instead he started Burks and gave most his mins to the vets.

Our young core already plays with loads of energy. Now their confidence is starting to increase. And the wins over teams we suppose to beat are adding up.

During the season, every guard had a career game. I’m sure thibs is kicking himself that he never played our best guard defender during those games. Deuce is a solid on ball defender to have off the bench. IQ looks like he found that balance between playmaking and shooting.

This is a deep team full of good but not great players. Before we talk about adding players we need to decide on which players will we drop. We already 12 or more deep when rose and grimes return.

Dude... IQ. We are desperate for a PG. He's been great and really turning it around. He had another great game. Mitch had 5 blocks as well. Grimes is in the queue and will be back. McBride got some burn and had points than fouls... Knicks have a good young core and a lot of guys with update

Im sorry... who was he supposed to play over the veteran he trusts? Didnt you play some ball? You really think a coach is going to play 2nd round rookie over a guy he trusts and has played well for him?

Burks wasnt good but when you lose your starter and backup PGs things get hard. Suggesting the answer was there all along is silly.

Good to see RJ have another big game. His FT shooting has been a lot better the last few games. Fully expecting him to at least be in the conversation for the All-Star team next season.

13 more to go.

I think the team will also be better running the offense more through RJ than Randle. RJ attacks the basket while Randle holds the ball much more.

Be more direct: Just playing McBride more was not the solution for the Knicks to make the play-in game.
