"Today's Knickle Bag will be Tomorrow's 10 Keys: Be Patient"- Official '24-25 NY Knicks Season Thread

[storyteller]

First recap of the season is up fam. New format too.

 

[RickyGQ]

Yes

I was corrected earlier. But this was a different Randle on a different Knicks team.

 

[Knicksman20]

Yooo...

My bad. Something in my spirit told me this thread title was a bad omen.



I was so busy yesterday, I didn't even watch the fukking game, yall

You didn't missing anything bro

You probably saved yourself some aggravation lol

 

[Damnshow]

Why did Mikal Bridges fukk up his jumpshot like that? Who told him? This don't look like Fultz situation cause Fultz got fukked up by incompetent Sixers medical staff.

As long as Dolan owns the Knicks there's always something happening to the Knicks that just don't make sense.

Dolan is the one signing all these checks. Co signing the trades.

What's the purpose in him catching a stray.

Yeah, I genuinely feel like Dolan has figured out how to get out his GM's ways. It's not just Leon Rose with the Knicks. Dolan has let the past three Rangers GM's run the team as they see fit, and the Rangers have gone from consistent playoff team to a consistent contender during that time.

That was the worst first game opponent we could have had after our new lineup changes. Celtics starters were hitting threes like prime Steph Curry lmao.

I don't know how much to take away from that game. The Pacers game Friday should be closer to what a normal team will play like.

Once he and Brunson wasn’t on the court Bridges started to cook by getting into the mid range or catching in rhythm from Payne whose been his PG way longer than Bridge. Offensively he has way more of a bag than OG and should have plays designed for Him As a third option. I think asking Hart, Bridges, and OG to cover for KAT at center is too much. Mitch and Precious come back healthy this team is might figure this season out.

Garbage time buckets…

From preseason to today he’s shot terrible and he even bricked a technical FT. He needs to get that together asap or it’s going to be a long year for him. Reggie bytch ass wouldn’t stop talking about it. It’s becoming a story and that can get into his head if he’s not careful.

Not much that we didn't know before. The Celtics are the lead dog and there's a gap between them and second best. When their threes are dropping it's almost impossible to win.

Knicks will still be a good team but they have to iron out the defense and rebounding

The whole game was garbage time



However, if you look he started to get better against the Celtics starters and then kept playing that way after. I especially liked the Celtics bench reaction when he hit that last shot. That was a tough shot over Brown and where he needs to operate. Not a lot of guys can pull up and hit that and it swishes in.

The Knicks need Mitch and Precious to compensate for KAT.

PF: Kat
C: Mitch

or

PF: Precious
C: KAT

should be on the lineup depending on what the Knicks are trying to do. You got to look at KAT like you would look at Pau Gasol when it comes to roster lineups. You ain’t winning shyt if Gasol is at center and you don’t got a defensive minded PF out there next to him for help defense and rebounding, or you move him to PF with a defensive Center holding down the paint.

Watching Both games tonight was weird but fun as hell. For Minnesota it’s clear Julius hasn’t practiced fully with the team and is lost on what to do offensively (He’s not sure whether to take the shots or not). With the Knicks he knew he was getting the ball throughout the first quarter and Brunson handled the fourth. It was a great dynamic between the two. Juju is not used to being told to get out of the way and Anthony was doing that plenty. This is going to be a tough terrain for Big Juju to navigate.

Secondly, I know Minnesota fans loves Naz Reid but he absolutely terrible on defense. He’s worse than KAT and Julius and watching that second quarter was ugly.

Now back to us. Kat needs to be more aggressive on offense. Jrue Holiday is one of the best perimeter defenders of this generation but I’m going to need him to demand the ball more. Like nikka you 7’0 tall kill that little nikka every time and every possession.

On Mikal I don’t know what that was but his corner 3 and midrange are all different shots. That’s crazy as fukk. He’s gonna have to explain more about why he’s playing with his shot.

I know OG is a transcendent defender but my nikka we need more than transcendent defense for 200 plus million. Shyt Rudy Gobert just took a 3 year 110 million dollar deal and he’s a 4x DPOY. There’s been no offensive growth.

Gobert's DPOYs are fraudulent when he gets exposed every postseason and in every elite big matchup. Other than that, this post is pretty on point.

I believe Reggie knows WTF he's doing by repeating it

Lowkey Reggie being off the TV makes me happy TNT lost that contract. Hopefully he’ll just fade away into irrelevance.
