Deuce already in mid season form. No Brogdon yet today. Maybe he’s hurt, dunno

I take that back. I think Brogdon just came in for Clarkson

Garrison Mathews can shoot. Brogdon looks real good running the offense.

McBride playing like his minutes are not a given. Dude was a menace blowing stuff up and scoring at will.

Bench has more to work with for sure. We are still a super top heavy team. we have 6 starters and after JB/Josh/OG/Bridges/KAT/Mitch there's a big drop off. Expect McBride/Clarkson/Yabasele to round out 7-9 in the rotation.

I dont see the point in a 10th man. Maybe if Brown starts 2 centers you see Huk play a bit as well.

If both are healthy (Brogdon is never healthy) I much prefer Brogdon over Clarkson who I am not a fan of for this squad. I do expect a better version of him so not hating

I love stuff like this. He grew up from a rookie to a young player that can teach other young players. I had my issues with him but one thing I did love about Thibs is he taught our young players how to be hard working professionals.

I thought Kolek was a lights out shooter in college. WTF happened?

Who we need to cut to sign Matthews? You know I love me a pure shooter. Teams want to bust out a zone or pack the paint. Throw him in the game and blow it up real quick.

I know JC is a gunner but you need one of those on the team. Just like Cam won us a few games last season JC will do the same. Just have to pull him back when he starts hurting the team. He is also much more talented than Cam so he will help more.

Disagree about the drop off. I think we added great depth and some solid players. I'm not a huge fan of Clarkson but he does add something we have been lacking and that's instant offense from the bench. I think Duece, Yabasele and Brogdon make the bench really good and with Brown going to play the bench more I think that will be great for us. We also have Kolek/Shamet.

fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM 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

Don't forget about Matthews. That was some of the best shooting i've seen since Novak was a Knick. Speaking of which, that ball movement when Brogdon was out there in the 3rd was the best i've seen since JKidd's Knickstape Knicks.

I bleed orange and blue for life.

So we're bringing the ball up faster and doing more passing and less dribbling - that should help us against our achilles heel which was the press and trap. Detroit and Indy killed us with that.

Both the offense and defense look like a rough sketch after one preseason game. We don't really have the personal to run and gun but there were a few leak outs. Mostly the PG just dribbled into the press. Brunson still calls his own number and he's still our best scoring option.

We need to find a way to keep Brogdon and Matthews. If it means waving goodbye to Kolek and the French kid oh well, neither looks like they are close to playing in the NBA. The French kid (sorry can't remember his name) reminds me of Kevin Knox and not in a good way.

Indy killed us the last game. Brunson was getting stripped just over the half court line.

Bring back dee-fense
