I kept an open mind with Bargs but dude is not playing well.

I don't like many of the looks Bargs is getting. They're coming from sloppy offense and he's rushing shots and not stepping into them as part of a good play. I think that gets overlooked, but there's a reason that a team is more efficient when they run good offense.

All you're really saying is that he's getting Shots, but the fact is that MOST of his shots are random and not a function of the flow of the offense and that is also true of many other Knick players. There's a huge difference between being a great shooter like a Steph Curry who can just shoot PERIOD and guys who can shoot a good % when they're in their comfort zone and taking the shots they can make.

The guy is getting good open shots. The dude sucks right now

Look no further than his december splits.

Not having a good PnR PG and this style of offense is HORRIBLE for Bargs. We simply don't run the play he's most efficient running. Just cuz a player "getting good open shots" as Yellowboy90 is saying doesn't mean they're the best shots for that player. There's a very important distinction between an open shot and a great shot for a particular player. It depends on the skills of each player. Quite frankly this offense isn't creating a FLOW where guys are getting great shots that are in rhythm. Just watching this team you can see that they aren't comfortable. Most of the shots are made tougher by the way they get into them. Can't watch this team this year and not see how bad the flow is most of the time.

Basically toronto begged a team to take him off their hands. Hell they even offered to take back a bad contract. then the knicks stepped in and gave away 3 picks including a 1st

LOL so true! Yet some people think it was a good trade.

LOL.. some thought we got a steal..... smh..

how about save the assets used on a player the team didnt need and use it for a player they could use...still need a pg, and ironically the team who has one available just fleeced us on a useless player.

My theory is simple just wait til the fall the see the leaves on a tree fall, no need to do any raking on July 1st.

The team is bad because they have bad players primarily....no amount of coaching could change this.

bingo!!!
