pretty incredible, no one would have predicted Miles would be a big time scorer for us.

LOL, sometimes I forget you haven't been here since forever. Folks here have been on the Deuce McBride train since we drafted him.

I mean more power to anyone who predicted this, I liked Miles, but never saw him with this type of scoring potential.

Going to be interesting if he can sustain this, and I don't mean 21ppg, but if he can be a consistent 12-15ppg threat once defenses becomes more aware of him.

Can I take credit because I "liked" him?

Yes, he couldn't have done it without you!

Knicks might actually be a better team by simply removing RJ and IQ. The way they are playing now since Miles was put into the starting lineup, even without OG and Randle, is pretty much as good as we've seen at any point besides immediate post-OG trade.

Removing IQ and RJ, and their ball dominant styles, and retooling the lineup to feature more Deuce, more Hart, more DDV, starting iHart etc, has really made this team look much more fluid and competent on both ends then they ever looked last year.

um, ok, yeah, oops. Didn't see this scoring potential either. Just meant we've been supporters of him getting rotation minutes to develop

development doesn't always or necessarily happen in NBA games... we let guys like Knox, Frank, THJR, Mudiay...etc... run a mok and they developed into nothing.

from everything we've read Miles has been getting better in practice for years.

Can't argue with the way this has gone down, slow, steady development.

Thibs has talking in post games about how they track shooting in practice. The coaching staff literally knows how many shots these guys are making/missing during practice and drills.

The Knicks heavily invested in shooting and tracking software a few years back. There was an article about this. They spent more than any other team at the time

It also why Boston has legit vulnerabilities. The defense is fantastic, gotta give them that, but they are a jump shooting team. Can they win games by defense and controlling the boards?

I just love how the Knicks (when healthy) are built. We can win so many ways. We are a nightmare on defense and the boards EVERY night. We have elite rim protection. We contest the jumpers. Boston's spread 5 is a tough matchup. Hope we get to see it

I'll go there. Context and tells me Deuce is a bit more behind the curve but the defense is important.
Granted, IQ was not awful but his playmaking was early on and developed more this year.
Issue with Deuces game was the shot would not fall. Teams would not respect it and back off. This took away his penetration (insert dick joke), so his whole game was off. That shot falls, teams have to come out to him and then his game to the rim is legit, and he can playmake!
IQ had the range from the start and once he went the rim or started his dance he had blinders on. He could score, but if the shot was off, he got the hook. Improved defense and the game slowed down made him better.
I liked IQ, but not like rabidly as some around here. Not for the money he was asking and for that to happen and him off the bench
I could not see. I thought he was trade fodder. I did not see the deal with Raptors nor see RJ going but here we are.
At this point in time Deuce at his contract is far away the better player and he keeps this **** up will exceed.
He is a better athlete.
