Knicks need a decent bench ASAP.

You can't go all season with starting 5 players averaging over 35 minutes. Even somebody like Lonnie Walker IV would help them out and he just signed overseas.

NBA season is a marathon, not a sprint. Can the Knicks afford signing anybody?

I think Precious' return will help. He can take some OG and Hart's minutes as the second-unit's PFs. Then, my guess is that the FO is waiting to add Matt Ryan (41% from three career, 45% from three last year) and/or Landry Shamet's shoulder to heal.

They might also be counting on the schedule lightening up from here. So, they'll have more opportunities to get Dadiet and Kolek some reps.

I think the most important development from last night's W is Brunson getting a bunch of off-ball reps. McBride or Hart would bring the ball up, and that allowed Brunson to run his man through some screens and receive the ball from a wing and/or in motion to attack the Heat defense.

It starts Brunson in a better position and doesn't give the defense time to load up on him. Having Hart bring the ball up specifically is REALLY interesting, because his defender can't just sag into the paint.

1) Jalen should defer to KAT in the beginning of games like he did Julius.
2) Tighten that shyt up. :ufdup:
I was LOCKED IN last night! :lolbron: The Yankees suffered from my neglect. I left them up 5-0 and said I aint changing from the Knicks game tonight. Knick game ends, I go back to the BX and the MFin Dodgers done tied the shyt up:wow: Oh well. I seen lotsa Yankee 'chips in my lifetime. We tryna catch up at MSG!

Hukporti is on a 2 way right? Meaning you can only play X amount of games with the big club, correct? Why not fully guarantee this cat now? Why are they still playing Sims? I had hopes for Sims this season btw.

Vets always have to get outplayed for Thibs to cut their minutes. It’s how things are with him.
