Sims is missing Wallace’s intensity. He is stoic. But I like the comp. Unlock the beast, Sims.

intensity= roid rage?

Knicks are trending well on the court, on the roster, and with nice bank account of picks.
No clear path to contention but all roads have to go thru “respectable street” first.
Are we there yet? No. Half a season to go.
My guess is we get there then start the uncomfortable process of trading quality out either a consolidation trade or kick the can down the road for picks. We can’t play everyone.
For modern knick fans, this is how rebuilding works. This is new for us. The starphuch era is gone and perhaps we do make a play for a “Superstar” but there are other roads to take.
Stay tuned. This is fun stuff!!!

That list is maddeningly inconsistent. I don't even like Kyrie and I have him over Trae this season. I'm a big Klay fan but are they really gonna say, with a straight face, that he's been better than Brunson? They can't decide if it's a list of whose better at this point in time or s lifetime achievement list.

22-19 and 7th in the East at the midway point which projects to 44 wins and play-in. Around where most of us expected. Positives are Brunson being worth the contract and solidifying the PG spot, Randle's resurrection, Robinson's rebounding, Grimes man to man defense, team defense, road wins. Negatives are RJ's slow start, Fournier being a bust, home record, losing leads and unable to win most close games.

So, according to this stat, RJ is at least better than half of the players in the league? Nice!

Better than half the players in the league that have played more than 300 miutes.

I would've preferred if the list was of players who average 20+ minutes per game and played at least 20 games. What does having Cam Reddish and Evan Fournier on the list tell us? We all know they don't get minutes anyway.

I think age with # years experience would be even better.

Wow, Mitch #39? Didn't expect that.
Grimes 50 positions better than RJ? Didn't expect that either.
