He has. Dudes been a social media demon.

I have found his candid nature insightful and have enjoyed the little I have seen.

Having not watched much, do you find any hint of Knicks homerism?

Some, but I wouldn't really call it distracting. Those guys were his colleagues for how many years?

Yeah, until you remember how optimistic you probably were during the initial Mitch reports. Still holding out for an official statement.

Dare I say we will be even better defensively.

I think you can start Precious at PF or move OG to PF and start Hart or Grimes at SF.

Gallo would be a good option as a buyout candidate soon

The obvious move is to start OG at PF IMO. But Thibs might want to keep his bench unit intact because that's kinda what he does. I could see them starting Precious unfortunately.

OG at PF you could retinker the lineup to be dangerous, especially on D. But you are pretty light on reinforcements at that point. I think Thibs views our best depth piece as Jericho so he will probably utilize him to fill in for Randle.

I actually lean toward Precious at PF for the rebounding, OG isn't a particularly good rebounder.

also keeps our bench unit strong.

if not i think Hart has to start to get more rebounding at SF.

OG's rebounding has improved a bit with the Knicks, but I still wouldn't call it impressive. I'd guess Hart takes the other forward spot and Knicks move to a more uptemp style.

yea i could see it either way and ultimately it doesnt matter much as I suspect we'll be closing games with OG at PF.

our defense without Randle is really gonna go to another level too, we might end up closing most games with the 3rd unit anyway...lol

Offense will be atrocious with Precious starting at the 4 I think.

this is where we are gonna miss RJ & IQ, truth is Brunson is the only creator we have that can get his own buckets. We went from having 4 of those guys to 2, and now 1.

So our offense is gonna take a hit for sure, but our defense should be better and we should still be winning these games at home.

I don't think our defense would be better with OG/Precious/iHart versus Hart/OG/iHart ... Thibs most likely does what you are suggesting though. Probably thinks we can grind out the starters minutes and keep our bench in tact. Hart will finish the games I'm sure.

Put Brunson down for 45 minutes. The Hornets should be very beatable at home. I'm looking for someone (Grimes? Deuce?) to step up their offense to pick up the slack.

Never good to fill a hole by switching ANOTHER player out of the position that has been working. So my vote is just to fill the PD spot with Sims or Precious. Let OG, IHart and Devo make up the scoring while Randle recovers.
