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

- Start date
Barrett is a good defender, a good rebounder for his size, strong and plays within himself. Andre Igudola should be his blueprint. 
The last couple of games have been ugly but it seems like the starters are waking up a little. I really think quick should be starting. I’m not sure who sits but a little shake up is needed on this team. Can’t wait for Friday
If IQ starts, Rose is the backup…. That leaves Kemba out of the rotation.. Sad to say but Kemba is washed and that’s ok.. Fam got his money he’s good in that aspect
yeah maybe Kemba will end up being this year’s Austin rivers. Not sure anyone will want him though

I don't know if you guys have noticed this season but teams are consistently ball denying our PG's & making them inbound to RJ & especially Randle. Thibs has to make adjustments because more times than not, if Randle runs the offense the ball moves nowhere & then he ends up iso'ing & forcing up a terrible shot for himself mostly (and others) with the shot clock expired. If I see this, how does Thibs not make any adjustments
Thibbs gotta star a mix of the second unit with the first unit..

This team desperately needs Randle to play an inside-out game and not settle for long-distance post-ups or jumpers. RJ looks damned good when the ball is moving but he still can't break down defenders in one on one situations with any consistency. He's 21, it's fine, I wouldn't shop him when he's gonna be affordable with upside. I also wouldn't push him to try and be Iguodala though. He needs to start looking at what guys like Obi and Burks do off the ball...they cut into open space that's in the ball handler's sightlines. That's why they consistently receive the ball in motion and with fluidity to get shots up quickly that fall...hell, Obi even gets fluid touches from three but he just sucks at that shot right now.

Am I lying tho? Randle completely kill the offensive flow when he’s in the game.. He does not pass the ball.. It’s no coincidence when the second unit comes in the ball moves ..
Had a great time at the game last night
the garden was rockin!
Them going up 25 was amazing but the refs slowed the game down by giving these fekkits so many free throws.

Facts.
As much as I want Obi and Quickley to play together, Randle and RJ is a recipe for disaster on offense together.

He did that in 2019. He's regressing back to when the Knicks had a terrible record. We actually have a better team but he's killing the momentum and making us look like shyt.
