"Death to the Pessimistic State of Mind" - Nas Voice: NYK '23 Pre-Season Thread

[Peter Popoff]

he is off koz he has no ryhtm.he is playin off the ball rather thrn tb3 offense running through your PG

u playin him like a spot up shooter , when that should be IQ and burkes roles , as they are more purer shooters

instead they are runnin th3 offense through these 2 who just dribble the air out the ball , rather then someone who kan actually kreate

i dont get how thibs kant see it

its not a mystery what u doin diff from last year, even rose driving and missin collapses the lanes ..

Facts. Running the offense through fukking Randle and RJ is stupid as shyt. Use the point guards.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Randle played well tonight and is a good player overall but he's not THAT guy either

RJ playing Knox level bad rn

Knox would produce more on offense. He's a better shooter.

 

[ProlificLurker]

Atleast Ntilikina plays defense. Fournier gives us nothing on both sides of the ball.

Frank seems to be doing well in Dallas. Happy for him. But for where he was drafted and who he was drafted ahead of he was never gunna get cut any slack here.

It was right to move on from him.

We just seem to have bad luck with French players. First it was Weiss, then Frank, now Fournier....spooky

 

[ProlificLurker]

Knox would produce more on offense. He's a better shooter.

Knox perfect example of had a spark when he started now he just garbage

He might blossom somewhere else later on in his career but it's time to move on from him too.

 

[DoubleClutch]

I’m starting to think Reggie Jackson would be the 2nd best player on this Knicks team

And he was almost out the nba 2 years ago

 

[El Jefe]

there was no movement when randle takes half the shot clock up using the ball in his hands , his shooting percentage maybe was better but the amount of wast3d possesions bekoz burke , IQ , and randle just refuse to move the ball is seriously skarey ,

yall ar3 in for a world of pain.mm if people dont check tbere egos at the door and Thibs dont start koachin in the locker room or on the court

he has done a horrible cosching job this year

 

[23Barrettcity]

@23Barrettcity get Ya boy

I blame you

 

[The War Report]

We a .500 team. Accept it.

 

[Wargames]

We got a brutal 10 game stretch coming up

lakers
Suns
Hawks
Nets
Bulls
Nuggets

Then 3 away against spurs, pacers and raptors and then home against bucks

3-7 upcoming.

I think they go 5-5, if they go 3-7 expect some trades

 

[dave]

exactly.

either get obi out there at the 3 or go to the trade market.

but do something.

yep, Obi can play the 3.

 

[Cave Savage]

They start 5 and 1 just to go 9 and 8

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

We a .500 team. Accept it.

Lol I’ve toned down my expectations. Cats was talking about winning 50+ and I was skeptical. I was thinking more like 46 wins but that doesn’t look possible the way this teams been playing.

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Thibs rotations have been atrocious. Dude really doesn’t know who to put in at what time. Also, why is obi stil not getting playing time? One of our most dynamic players and he’s only playing 13 minutes.

 

[ISO]

Frank seems to be doing well in Dallas. Happy for him.

He’s the same bum

 

[storyteller]

This is a game where I'm not mad at Randle isolations. If a team is gonna let him isolate against guards, then let him beat 'em up. He got Caruso fouled out and had Lonzo pissed too. But at the same time, if a team is going small all night then there's no excuse for Obi to play 13 minutes. Can't play him with Randle? Then give Randle a break and see how Obi does in those same post-ups against shorter players.

On the bright-side, Kemba Walker was allowed to run the team in the third quarter and look at the damned results...let point guards do the point guard thing and we'll find continuity.

RJ is in the weirdest rut I've ever witnessed. His jumper regressed, now his interior finishing has fallen off too, but he's visibly trying to make up for it. Dude was chasing rebounds and played good defense on Zach. It's just not enough to make up for shooting so woefully bad.

IQ, Burks, and Rose all looked a bit tired on night-two. They were still some of our better players, but they had no steam to make defensive rotations by the fourth.
