"Who are the Knicks? Brunson, Brunson and some other Knickas" " - Official '23 NYK Offseason Thread

[ikbm]

You have been gargling RJ’s balls since the moment he was drafted

You got it breh, everyone else but RJ is the problem

nah you're just a reactionary dikkhead that dont know shyt about basketball. only can knicks fans see a guy play solid for 15+ games then immediately flip on one game
jalen brunson got just as many tour date 3/14 shooting nights as rj but no one says shyt about that...while him being the biggest sieve on defense.
3/10, 4/14, 2/13, 2/14, 3/13, 3/14, 5/15. thats just a few of them. but its cool when one guy does it

U reactionary nikkas are running with narratives…

We saw Grimes miss some open looks, travel in the clutch one game, and miss some FT’s now he shrinks in the clutch

This is a young player with less than 1500 career minutes played over 68 career games practically a rookie just imagine how many actual clutch time meaningful minutes he’s played in the NBA even I had patience with Barrett and rooted for him at one point but y’all writing son off already

I would never want Grimes to have no damn 30% usage

Grimes deserves more on ball reps and shots in spurts during the season and SL we’ve seen he has a better handle, he has a quicker first step, he is a better passer.

For sure if Grimes took 15-18 shots a game he’d outproduce Barrett easily

Efficient C&S with variety+attacking close outs/transition hard as fukk and finishing with good connective passing and good defense>>Civil Rights Movement era lay-up package

Ironically buddens is bisexual. Both like balls but this niqqa specifically likes RJs.

@ikbm you the breh but RJ is …

Dude has literally been our most negative rotational player this season according to the ‘lytics while being one of our featured guys…

Deflecting to Brunson who has been one of the Knicks best signings in a minute

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Wide open 3 after wide open 3. Why are they doubling harden every fukking pick and roll? Niang can shoot

this team doesn’t know what to do when they see a zone

I think it’s time to admit RJ is just trash

Knicks were winning the entire game

Knicks are like a “try hard” hustle based team that will give you troubles for 3 quarters but ultimately runs out of gas/skill when it’s crunch time

This all falls on coaching. The "mid 3" playing 35+ mins a night, not knowing how to attack a zone defense, poor defensive habits. That’s all on Thibs.

RJ isn't trash, just wildly inconsistent. This season is proving that he’s at best a 3rd option on a good team. Unfortunately Brunson & Randle aren’t #1 options either.

This is why the Knicks should have included Grimes in that potential Spida deal. Also would’ve helped if Ainge wasn’t such a d*ckhead either.

Nah, we not blaming Thibs, even though certain things could be different not many coaches would have us at a .545 winning clip with the roster we have coming into this one. Thibs is unconventional but ultimately probably squeezing the most wins out of his roster as he has done throughout his coaching career.

Big 3's usually play 35 minutes a game especially in marquee matchups, Knicks can't beat a zone because they lack shooting personnel (having a starting wing taking a high volume of C&S threes with the tendency for frigid cold streaks, a guy you’ll generally live with doesn’t help beat zones) and the Knicks defense has crept into the top 10 across the NBA.

RJ is not a third option on any team worth a damn and is a miscast rotation level talent just call a spade a spade y'all are too enamored by the box score, stretches of play, and individual games rather than the totality of his output and game to game contributions over a long haul or how he actually looks in games despite the averages.

Oh, and by the way if RJ was actually good that Spida deal wouldn't have had to include Grimes, Utah would jump head over heels if RJ was actually one of the league's good young players or elite prospects.

I think the problem is RJ believes his own hype. He has a few nice game and thinks it’s an excuse to go “Kobe” whenever he feels

And as inconsistent as he is, that means he’ll be the reason for Knicks losses on his bad nights

I don’t think other opponents see him as good as himself, Knicks and their fans make him to be.

So when he goes off they’re surprised. But if they wanna stop him they can. And he’s not beating any good team alone.

Brunson is a #1 option by Knicks standards

Yeah, to say RJ is not a 3rd option on a good team is just some full blown hating. I'm not entertaining this anymore, you have a good holiday.

Define a “good” team.

Dude is third in usage and second in shot attempts with Julius on this team.

This team will likely be a .500 team winning games mostly off the back of its team defense with RJ hurting you more than not. He’s shot under 40% in 14 of his 34 games this season.

Dude isn’t even Tobias Harris status. What are you talking about?

[Harry Powder]

I'm good on Tobias

 

[In The Zone '98]

They don't see what we see?

 

[Peter Popoff]

Who would they trade for Tobias Harris? I wanna laugh at y'all thoughts?
