Maybe have a training camp and preseason with the coach and coaches -- hell maybe even a couple of regular season games -- before any conclusions are made one way or the other.

Are you asking for a measured approach? We don’t do that in this fanbase. It’s all our nothing, and a whole bunch of noise here. Bing Bong! The algorithm gives and the algorithm takes away

The guy literally can’t put the ball in the ocean Maybe we should start seriously considering going by with a smaller lineup with RJ at the 4 and Grimes at the 2 full time or Cam at the 3 full time. I’m getting sick of the Randle/Obi bricklaying |

I hear Randle played just the same and got killed in doubles against inferior talent.

At least they didn't get hurt. That's a win in my book. It will take time to gel and I like to look at it as a marathon. A great BJJ teacher once said that one needs to lose 10,000 times to become a black belt.

The presence of the FBI does wonders for a community. You live somewhat close to Brave country. Are they still crying about the Mets violating them on some Schillinger/Beecher s@#t? Did you hear that Amber Heard was a stripper and that Elon Musk did all kinds of nasty s#@t to her... Yeah... I'd rather talk about the Knicks losing to a bunch of FedEx drivers and Milkmen last night. At least it's Knicks basketball... kinda. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

From his rookie to 2nd season Obi's overall FG% improved, his 2pt fg % improved, his 3pt % slightly improved, his eFG% improved and his FT% improved. If you want to say Obi is not a gòod 3 pts shooter then say it......but it has nothing to do with his shot falling off a cliff. |

Were they told not to put their hands up on defense? I hope so.
Jalen Brunson's game reminds me of Mark Jackson. Not necessarily how he scores, but something about the way he moves |

I understand not wanting to get hurt but when I played ball, there was only one setting when ever I played and that was all out, all the time. I was not a professional player, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. All that being said, Brunson looks like he can score whenever he wants. He will be a huge lift for this team and hopefully he can convince Randle to focus on being an efficient scorer and not worry as much about running the offense. Trust the Process

Brunson is a scorer first. IQ the same. Rose might still be our best playmaker. Brunson has room to grow in that area but he clearly wants to score buckets which will help off set the scoring pressure on Randle. I just hope the offense isn’t a “who’s l turn is it now” iso driven offense. Maybe that’s the nba now and whoever has the best or most 1on1 players win.

The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!
