With that much more passing there is bound to be turnovers. I will be keeping an eye on the assist to turnover ratio and see if they can get that up while increasing assists. The ball movement was on and will lead to good things

Passing was with 2nd unit — turnovers with 1sr unit

Starting 5 —- 19 TO’s vs 16 assists in 158 minutes
Bench 4 ————- 3 TO’s to 15 assists in 81 minutes

DD was awesome last night. He's like a smaller Hart who can shoot.

Its early but 22ppg on 48/44 shooting in just 31mpg is really impressive.

he's defending really well too.

It's the big 3 too, Randle RJ Bruson. Too sticky in the first unit

I think this team will always be a bit of a yin/yang with the starters and bench. This goes back a few years since Randle's first breakout year playing with Elfrid and our bench mob was elite with Rose and rookie Quick/Obi. The starters are methodical, take turns, play bully, play ugly and the bench has a bit more flair to the way they get after it.

I think RJ and Brunson are more willing ball movers. Randle... he has to be in the mood.

Thibs is asking for more pace, more passing. Grimes has to hit those looks. Kudos to Thibs sticking with him.
developing players is not always pretty. Fans call for change, good coaches see the progress even when there is not the result. Fans are reactionary, Coaches are anticipatory.
In the end, it all gets sorted out on the court, not the threads here.

This is how I see it too. 22-23 success mainly came from the starters and 20-21 was from a good bench. This game had both the starters and bench clicking. Let's be honest, playing a line up with 4 future Hall of famers to a standstill is a pretty big accomplishment for a much younger team. Kawhi and PG have been all- defense and Harden and Westbrook get a lot of steals. You have to expect that there will be more turnovers. Knicks biggest success was playing defense without fouling. That's the mark of an elite team. If Knicks can put together a team which combines previous years defensive efficiency with last year's offense, we can go far.
