I forgot we do have another playmaker. Kolek is the guy that can takeover the playmaking when Brunson sits. He has to get reps to learn the NBA so he is ready when we need him.

my take. Lots off good take aways. Some things that need to be fixed. Im good with how it's coming along. We have some really good pieces.

Kolek has the best vision on the team...Would love to see him get some minutes with Bridges and Hart and run some PNR with Towns. Kolek can get us some easy baskets....but, he's a Rook and at this point Thibs trusts Payne so he will get those minutes.

And this was with 3 HOF players and a HOF coach in the making.

And while not missing important rotation players.

Took Luka and Kyrie awhile too. Knicks are ahead of where I expected them to be in terms of the chemistry department AND the defense looks like it has a chance to still be really good, which I'm pleasantly surprised a little bit about. I see glimpses of last years team in terms of defense/grit/hustle when we are getting after it on defense.

In general I think the Knicks have shown enough flashes of what they can be to keep me positive and not really sweating Ws and Ls right now. Sort of criminal the schedule they have to start out with as a brand new team put together a month ago.

It's almost like watching a rookie, you just look for flashes in the early days. We are seeing them IMO.

Yeah, I agree. Dallas finally got Kyrie and Luca almost 2 years ago? And it took them a year and half to finally trade for the right role players.

Knicks got most of the players before this year and then just added Mikal and KAT. Mitch is TBD.

It's gonna be so much fun to watch it unfold. I am pumped.

For me, its not that I am worried about the talent, I am just hoping they are not regressing to an iso offense. Every player change they made SCREAMS 5 out motion offense or 4-1 motion offense.

But, all I am seeing for offensive sets is pick and roll and iso sets. Not a lot of off ball movement other than clear outs.

Angry coach dude gets to yell at game mistakes. Won't point out the things that execute.
Blaming the coach over and over for on court execution that gone bad.
The Sam Kinison thing gets views. Meanwhile is he coaching? is he accountable or just can take apart tape well and sell it to a public that takes his word for it. Tom Thibs is two time COY. Angry Kinison? what he got?
I find it annoying.
Tell me what knicks did right to build a 13 pt lead then either went away from or, did Clev adjust and execute a mid game strategy successfully?
If angry dude can make a living from this more power to him. I can do 2 minutes and im done.

Thibs might not win "anything" but his record is impressive and this fool does not cut if for me.

LOL Jericho!!! Dude looked like he was checking the replay to see if his career just got wiped out?
he looks like that all the time. Lets give him the benefit of doubt to say he got that Cool Clyde Frazier thing going.
Rather that then the Halliburton smiley face all the time.
Huk played 10 min. That was a highlight and he did good. Still curious as to what Sims did to get the hook so fast?

Same dunk Hakporti is an and 1 for a vet player. Huk, Kollack, and Pacome look good for next season and maybe after 20 plus games of practice. Shoot interested in what MCcullers will show. When do our rookies get the McBride development in G league ? Or does Thibs keep em on the bench with big club ?

Precious hopefully a week or two away. Then we light get Ryan in a few weeks. Bench with Precious, Deuce, and Cam will be more versatile and Simms and Ryan situational 9th man.
