It is obvious that no one actually reads posts and argues with points they believe you have instead of ones you actually have. How many times have I had to point out being benched can happen for a half of a game or 1 game and does not mean you bench him for half a season? How is wanting to use players we have at our disposal in the case of someone being in a shooting slump quitting on someone? This team is not good enough to warrant me wasting energy arguing against stuff I never even said. So yall can keep bumping the tread without actually reading it thinking you got someone good while also disagreeing with the person you think your fighting for since Quick already basically said exactly my position in his post game interview 2 games ago. For those who choose to not read posts before bumping go up a few posts and watch the video I posted on Quick agreeing with my position.

Luckily the rim was not very tight, a couple of those 3s were bouncing around for 5 minutes up there

So many complain about how coach Thibs doesn't or isn't (just yet) giving kids like Obi, McBride and Grimes etc proper playing time (making them work for it), but then we immediately not even 5-10 games into the season begin to demand Immanuel Quickley be benched and shut down until he "gets it together "?

That's horse crap.

▪︎ SEC PLAYER OF THE YEAR @ KENTUCKY.

▪︎100+ 3'S made as a Rookie just last year (with a beautiful floater off the quick drive too).

▪︎ Performed strong enough as a sleeper pick of a steal as a Rookie to the point of being selected as a team U.S.A. Select selection.

▪︎ Was a high energy spark plug off the bench and helped lead us to the postseason as an electric combo guard @ PG/SG.

And you mean to tell me that, that the very moment I.Q. entered his 2nd season and didn't shoot too good we all forgot all of the above (in bold) like 5 games into the season? And then coach Thibs is supposed to straight up quit on this kid and shut him down before giving him an opportunity to return to form while not even 10 games into his 2nd season?

Nah. We've gotta support this kid and why? Because he's a true talent and a true building block off the bench as a future and potential X-Factor. Previous 3 games he's combined for 31 points off 6/12 from 3 along with another 9 assists, 4 steals and 3 rebounds. With only 2 turnovers. With only 17 minutes per game. But yet 5 games ago many were ready to give him the "Thibs treatment"? No.

Quoted for truth.

Some of you are RIDICULOUS on how soon you're ready to quit on talented kids like Immanuel Quickley (and Mitchell Robinson).

At the very first signs of struggle too many fans are ready to QUIT on these kids and I find it mind boggling.

Slumps happen to everyone. In about a week I expect the “let’s trade RJ” threads to start popping up

what turned the tide was the group out there- we finally went small and fast - Noel, Obi, Burks, Fournier and IQ. There was one play late where our defenders were scrambling all over the place and I think the lakers turned it over.

And then on offense, such better movement, and IQ is playing at a different speed and can get his shot off whenever.

Still, we barely beat a depleted Laker team with AD suffering from Flu or something similar. And the only team with as many starter/slow 3rd quarters problems as us is the Lakers!

Rose and Gibson are probably just as important to the Knicks success as Lebron and an ailing AD is to the Lakers. I think that's the first win the Knicks have had without a significant contribution from either.

Knicks need a run and gun coach
