Sick of his average to below Def, His terrible 3 stats most nighs when we need him and a chickenshat coach who doesn't hold players accountable.

Same thought. If he’s still sick they win that game. It’s a throwaway game but still.

But RJ just isn’t a good shooter. He better come back next year with a higher percentage, the ability to nail the open 3. Because when he is wide open and shooting the 3, I never feel like it’s going in.

He makes 3’s like the folks shooting the half court heaves at half time - it’s pure luck that it goes in. And even there, some of those folks that take them, you can tell they’ve practiced!

No one is that bad at 3 point shooting without some type of mental or confidence issue. A coach might actually want to use a throw away game for a slumping player to try and find his touch. It didn't happen, but I'm not going to lavel Thibs as a "moron coach" ....simple over reaction.

He’s bad - it’s clear - hoping for a solid trade and some other team being asleep at the GM level.

When EF’s shooting is off he really hurts us.

When EF is shooting lights-out he only hurts us a little.

Either way…

Just my opinion. I don’t see us using him in the playoffs unless we’re desperate. I’d love to eat those words.

I’m thinking EF situationally- end of game, down 2 or 3, 10 seconds left. And even there- I’m not sure he is getting in over our regular guys that Thibs uses.

Thibs is however stubborn and when he chooses a path with a player it’s hard to get him to change direction— for whatever reason from day 1 he’s given RJ the green light to do whatever and he hasn’t wavered.

It’s a similar pattern that Randle has rewarded him for at least for the most part except RJ isn’t talented as far as my eyes can tell.

Every franchise does this to a certain degree. RJ and Randle have been the Knicks highest ceiling player.

Should be no surprise?
