I remember when JHart consistently hit threes last year. (Except in the playoffs)
Ah....fond memories.

This is what a chip team looks like. EVERY player is a pro shooter.

Unfortunately it looks like some of RJ's progress was wiped out by those migraines. Hope he can get that confidence back. Unless he's still having them, it looks to be a confidence issue.

Could not watch the game but I see Randle had a good game against a top team. So I like that. Quick on the other hand had another bad game against a top team. Something to keep a watch for. If he wants that 25mil per he going to have to step up against good competition too.

between this year and last years playoffs, IQ is showing he can't score against top defenses.

Brunson is really the only guy we have that can do it no matter what. We need a 2nd guy like that.

We need to move RJ and IQ for a star, otherwise we are going to be paying them $50M+ combined.

Random thoughts……

- can Grimes shrink any further - going to be dwarf size soon
- Is IQ still dribbling the ball and are his blinders still on?
- I-Hart kind of played like I-Shart offensively today
- RJ is back and once again a Knick is tanking their trade value
- never once did it feel like the Knicks could control the game on defense/ including boards
- once again other team looks like 12 Steph Curry’s

Knicks “hey we have 2 scrubs who are really killing their trade value but we’d gladly trade them for your star”

we struggle against teams with a floor spacing 5. BOS and MIL have killed us in large part b/c KP and Lopez

and of course those two teams are just flat out better than us.

Clearly not in the same league with Bucks and Celtics, but not giving up hope because of that. Keep on growing.

CANT BUILD A SOLID FOUNDATION
on top of two low efficient yet high volume 1 way scorers. Add in Brunson and now we have 3 offensive scorers who impacts with scoring and below average defenders.

Meaning, all it takes is one of the 3 to shoot a terrible % kills momentum because they are also on the floor the longest. This is where an OG type player who a low volume shooter and doesn’t need to high shooting attempts to impact the game.

We need to trade or move one of the 3 high volume scorers (RJ) to the bench. But our top 3 minutes players can’t all be low efficiency high volume scorers and below average defenders. OG fits and I’m sure there’s other low name wings that fit. Any high efficiency wing who’s above average defender.

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland. The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

You are starting to sound a lot like me. can't have 3 minus defenders in the starting lineup. can't have 3 high volume scorers each with a majority of the touches. 2 of the 3 are not consistantly good at spacing the floor so space is an issue when teams gameplan. Our best players just don't fit. They can get by in the regular season but once teams can gameplan things become infinitly harder.
