And Brunson.

Finally .. Obi Toppin playing going down the stretch of a game to help the Knicks go on a 9-2 run to cut 76ers lead to 2 pts.
Obi scored 8 points in the final 4 minutes of the game, and Cam 2-Way performance gave us decent lead to hold in the final 2 min to get a Friday night Knicks 106-104 WIN over the 76ers

Agreed. If we win lots of games like this I’ll start rooting for the Nets.

Or you'll go into cardiac arrest.

That’s how I feel. I wish I didn’t care so much.

Ssh-Ssh .. The Knicks are TANKING .... D.Rose leadership receiving 7 minutes in a game D.Rose could've controlled the 2nd half of the game.

Was in the camp that Obi/Randle wasnt a good idea, will be happy to be wrong, if this keeps up.
Mitch hurt again, early in the season. Would'nt mind seeing a Rolo for Simms trade. He's older but can still give a team productive minutes off the bench. He also sets picks better than anyone on the team right now.

Not so sure starting Grimes right after coming off an injury. Having to defend starters right off the bat, was a good idea. Would have waited to sit Fournier, would have pulled him sooner in the first quarter, before benching him this early.

When Brunson isnt hitting his shots, and not playmaking, he's an average PG. Dont expect him to turn into a pass first PG. A pass a little more PG would be nice. Like Ramtour said in another thread, drive and kick.

Who knows what , or if Simms becomes something but trades like that destroy any possible future for a team.

He needs to play 20 minutes a night at least. Take minutes for Randle. This team needs shooting and right now Obi is the only one that can provide it.

28 per game at least. I know with more minutes he might get e posed,

starting Grimes when he clearly wasn’t ready? I thought IQ was a better choice or stay with EF.

And then closing with Obi and Randle together, which I liked how that looked against bench players. How will it look against nba starters like the bucks.

These moves tells me he’s reaching for straws to find a win. Coaching for his job basically and found lightning in a bottle towards the end. But now that he started grimes yesterday…………………

1. What will Thibs do today?
2. What should he do today?

I honestly think Thibs put himself and the team in a tricky spot. EF is a high price well liked player who’s now off the bench. Was that permanent? Or just one game?

What does that do to IQs moral? Who I think should have been the obvious choice to start with Rose now getting more mins as the only lead guard off the bench with EF and cam.

Or What I would really like to see is Cam in the starting lineup due to his length and quickness laterally. That’s needed and he’s perfect next to Brunson whos defensely challenged. At least that’s my lineup against teams like Atl and Cavs. Teams with two dynamic pt guards in their starting lineup. Or really the best lineup I would pick and play against all teams.
Bench will have Obi, IQ, Grimes, Rose, Fournier, Hart

We are a deep team and full of picks. Riped for a trade!
