I agree with you & I'm not trying to be pessimistic but we've caught a few breaks during this run. The Cavs was a great win but with the Hawks had 2/3 starters out because of injury but I'm glad we took care of business. The Kings didn't have Fox which helped because that game could've went sideways with the bad officiating, Foolius behaving like Foolius, & the injuries.

I'm not gonna let myself fully enjoy this till be go on a run & beat better teams that don't have starters missing

It’s okay to be pessimistic, I get it but this same team with the previous rotation would easily lose to a couple of these teams even without some of their key cogs in the lineup.

One of these games I truly hope they bring him in just so you can see the inconsistencies of this motherfukker. I really do hope.

You can't be this blind to see this team win 4 in a row ever seen this fukk hit the pine.
I don’t think Cam caused the losses AND they aren’t playing him to ensure he doesn’t get injured.

I mean you hit the nail on the head. The only caveat that keeps me from saying it’s fake is injuries are part of the game. Grimes was out and opposing teams fans weren’t like “this isn’t the Knicks real defense”. You are your record until the playoffs.

And I agree with you on Cam not being the problem with those L's. Dubious has picked it up offensively & Grimes seems to have his legs again. You add in Deuce & the perimeter defense is way more tight. RJ has been abyssal defensively still

Come on dog. Cam Reddish is the reason we were ass? Not cause Mitch was hurt? Not cause Grimes was getting into rhythm? Not cause IQ and RJ were both shooting career lows? It was all cause Cam was inconsistent off the bench?

I don’t want to rehash this whole Cam argument but he’s actually someone who can fit with this young core and I just don’t understand why he’s being cast aside like this.

Cam looked good before the groin injury and when he had consistent minutes, there's still hope for him even if it isn't in NY.

With that said, is a protected first too much to ask for Cam and Fournier?

I expect this run to hit ice if Brunson is out extended time. But he's slashing solid numbers since Grimes moved into the starting line-up (11 games ago with roughly the same scoring and efficiency).

I watched all 10 of those games and dude was not good regardless of what those box score stats say.

This is how he catches people story of this dudes career.

Why does he have to play so badly? :mjlol:

Rotation is tight and set, we’re winning, he doesn’t need to play he isn’t bringing anything consistently to the table.

If Cam's enough to dump Fournier without taking long-term salary back, he's done his job. If we could get a protected first, then that'd be a nice dub but I'm not counting on it. Rumors have the Knicks' asking price at a second-round pick.

because Thibs is a cocksucker who only comes up from sucking his favorite players cocks to yell at the refs and Leon Rose is a p*ssy who refused to make Thibs play him.

:hubie:

You can madlib the situation and the players names involved and it’s that same story like always.

Fournier doesn’t matter enough to move if it’s for a long contract. He’s an expiring next year and they have trashy first rounders to move him just like they did Noel and Burks.

I read a correction that that’s his market not the Knicks asking price.
