Cam while active was out of place. I think he gets it eventually.

Some of these weren’t bad plays

Obi my dude, but it’s sims. He got more air so its cleaner, or maybe it’s the height

I think they the same height.

there is a learning curve to Thibs system that is not well known. It could be he is a dud or it could be he has to learn the system better

I mean he's not a new addition. That's an excuse we can use for Brunson who still looks less lost on defense than Cam.

the streets are saying the knicks looking kinda tough

might have to re-sign that 2 year max rep/daps contract with a player option to stan y'all again

Resign?

nikka, that's a two way street. You haven't been offered a fukking contract.

FOH

@CantStop getting that Michael Sweetney treatment.

To be fair though, he was starting to show a lot of promise last season right as he got the shoulder injury and then he couldn't practice the rest of the season. I also think he looks like he's pressing moreso than lost. He's trying to make the play, which means he'll try to chase over a screen when he should switch or slide into a passing lane too early.

It also looks like the scheme is changing slightly compared to last season (Randle is switching more, Centers are dropping even faster). I like that stuff for the long term but everyone's gotta adjust. Sims' hedging was pretty weak in his few minutes and Hartenstein kept losing position to rim runners with enough momentum to bump him off.

Thibs bringing up someone outworking everyone by a comfortable margin is about as high praise as it gets. I'm crossing my fingers that Grimes is too good to be denied a big bump in playing time that justifies his hype.

He needs to start with the FO not wanting to trade him and this hype
