You gotta develop the youths. Playing vets who will not be here in 2 years is a total waste. Playing Gibson (despite a great plus minus tonight) over Toppin, Knox and Quick is a mistake.
I hear you but I think Gibson is "a glue guy" who does things that is good for the young players to see. He's been really huge for us and no way we're where we are without him.
Obi starting to get some time. Knox, we'll see, and I hear it may not be the end just yet. He clearly has to earn it and Thibs I sense likes to challenge players he thinks need it.
If we throw out Obi and Knox we'd be far worse.
RJ is playing and playing greaT! This was arguably his best game.
Gibson has been the only veteran player that gives the Knicks young-core players confidence when they are in the same lineup as Gibson.
So far, the Knicks coaching-staff did nothing to improve the growth of the Knicks young-core players in the Knicks 2020-21 season. DanG !!!
The Knicks coaching-staff (Woodson?Payton) should've took some time to develop a same-page 2nd unit lineup of Frank, Quickley, Knox, Obi, and Taj Gibson in the Knicks past 25 games.
Having a well rounded 10-Man rotation to enter the playoff does create optimism
