Opinion - The Knicks Rewarded Mediocrity. Now They Are Stuck In It. — The Knicks Are Doomed
Another realgm alum went in on the Knicks for their offseason. He's harsher than me, but dude sells his views really well...also the Perry harshness is pretty funny.

Thibs needs to start Burks at this point
Fournier and kemba combo don't work starting
It barely worked in Boston
Randle seems to be better with burks
Also thibs gotta run some hybrid triangle plays like in chicago
Grimes needs some minutes. He can't be any worse defensively than Fournier. He would improve guard dribble penetration immediately & can shoot which is all we need at this point

I said the same thing. No rim protection & Julius this year has been inconsistent on the defensive end so far. Obi shouldn't have been subbed out & instead of Randle coming back in, it should've been Taj

I have a feeling if Noel could stay healthy that we'd see that move faster than anything else. I'm hoping he'll make the big adjustments, but that def remains to be seen. He's tweaking things lately, so I'm a bit more hopeful.

I feel you but this not gonna play him that much
They need a guy in the starting 5 that doesn't need the ball in his hands
They also got to run more pick n roll with randle so he could get inside

I totally agree with you but we have to utilize what we have now. If we can get that kind of player I'm for it. Grimes plays better defense than Fournier & isn't a liability on offense like Frank was. He should be getting some of those minutes with Fournier getting benched

He's awful he doesn't roll he sets half assed picks then waits to get the ball back
Obi does it properly and gets rewarded by being removed from the game

@storyteller that article just reminded me that I still want Perry gone
He should've been out of here with Mills and that 13 seasons in charge and not ONE winning record is dammning

He's definitely a Debbie downer but it's hard to argue with what he said. They're in a tough position for sure.

The offseason move I supported the least...If I recall correctly, I was pretty indifferent about it though. He reminded me how much I was against re-signing Perry before the good vibes of the post season push
Harsh, but pretty accurate for sure. And I mark out for wordplay.

One thing I wholeheartedly agree with him on is that the starting 5 are SLOW. With how they play, pass, cut, run the floor, all of it is lackadaisical. All this talk about pace and we're not seeing any of it from them.
We probably should've waited to see how Randle performed this year before giving him that extension. Fournier should've been like a two year deal, or maybe passed on all together. I really wanted to get someone like Gary Trent Jr.
