“Villanova Dogs and a Domesticated WildKAT... Make It Make Sense..." Official 2024 NY Knicks off-season Thread

[Geordi]

Mitch very active early on

 

[qnsfinest]

Donte's 3 points in the first two minutes of this game is as much or more than Grimes has put up in 5 of the last 7 games.

Probably last 5 or 7 games combined***

 

[g-ice]

Nah, cut the cord on these fools. They definitely got to do something.

This is not good whatsoever.

 

[storyteller]

But it’s the system breh

Anyways, this defense is just atrocious.

I said it in my last recap: Any team that can run a five-out offense is gonna give this team problems. Thibs' scheme is to pack the paint and close out on shooters in hopes that they'll miss more than they make.

Not when it leads to Grimes regressing and being benched..Hart and IQ also arent the same

If Donte being on the bench means you’re too scared to shoot now then you not it dog. I’m not buying that shyt.

Facts
But Donte gets to play freely and make mistakes. The point guard is also his bestfriend. Grimes does not get those luxuries

Grimes is deep on that bench. Thibs done put in IQ, Hart and Hartenstein in already.

Thibs is a petty fukk.

There’s literally no excuse. I seen Reggie Bullock play this same role a couple of years back and took 8 3’s a game at a 40% clip with no problems. I don’t wanna hear shyt in regards to Grimes.

The scheme is for RJ Randle Brunson to take all the shots. Then IQ comes in and takes all the second unit shots.

If Grimes has no opportunity to shoot the ball, he can't get paid.

Rather than run a play for Grimes, he benched the nikka. Lol.

the point im making ( and have been making even before grimes said it publicly) is that thibs looks for reasons to bring Donte in and doesnt allow grimes to make mistakes.

You cant tell me u dont wanna include grimes in a D.Mitchell trade, and then bring in someone to take mins from him da following season lol

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

There you go Grimes

 

[g-ice]

There you go, shoot them.

The coach and FO are not fully aligned and Thibs does what he wants.

The thing that Donte did to get that look, which Grimes did all of last season but has gotten away from, is sliding into space where the ball-handler can see him and complete the pass without worrying about a defender. Grimes knows how to do that shyt. It's mental for him. This benching might light a fire under him. I hope it does.
