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

The problem with the Rj situation is not that he was missing shots it was the fact he was missing open shots. Julius in the first half gave Barrett 4 open shots in which nobody was in the vicinity of RJ and he missed them all.

This goes back to what Clyde said last year, shooting is the hardest thing to change in the NBA because it’s all muscle memory. Similar to a throwing form in the NFL.

SIMS? OBI? lmao
rj has proven 100x more at this level than obi
all obi has done was dominate at the end of the season vs teams that mailed it in
what did obi do yesterday to earn minutes over julius?
you nikkas are slow with a bunch of ass takes and overreactions over one game

Pretty sure if Obi played the minutes RJ had, he'd have well over 11 pts, 3 asst, 8 rebs in 38 min. especially on those plethora of open shots plus a better +/- and defender.

 

[Peter Popoff]

That play by Thibs was magnificent

Tbh on the boards I don’t think anyone can fukk with that behemoth Adams for us

Bro was out there fukking around hoeing Mitch pretending to take a nap on his back on in bounds plays idk if anyone caught that

I did lmao. I thought he was just telling Mitch to chill and he doing a good job.

Looking at the play again, i think it was supposed to go to Evan and Cam said fukk it… it was the right move since he was wide the fukk open but Evans reaction tells me everything.

to be fair, fournier was happy for him and givin him props

Stephen A at halftime very

1. RJ is ass

2. These nikkas all keep going left

 

[seemorecizzy]

we need to start cam at da 3 and put rj back at his natural position.
at da very least, start grimes at da 2.

fournier tries on defense but he just doesnt have the size or the iq to play it and we need it.

bring him off da bench, if he's hot, keep him in da game, but he shouldnt b starting

Those forced bully ball ill-advised drives

RJ is a 3 at this point.

Hopefully they not hiding anything with Grimes injury

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Lol how much longer of this bullshyt

It’s not about one game it’s about the same habits and weaknesses being displayed and the inherent downsides of his limitations and playing style

Deflecting to others is

Keep that same energy when RJ go off breh

Literally got 4 lefties starting.

 

[Ironman]

Game 1 of 82 and Knick fans dooming and glooming. NBA is back

 

[ISO]

Keep that same energy when RJ go off breh

Why would I get hype for him doing what he’s supposed to do especially when it’s not consistent

“Go off”

 

[storyteller]

@storyteller building was jumping tonight

Yeah fam, I’m exhausted today but that ish was worth it. I couldn’t believe how packed it got and the energy was madd fun. MSG vibes with strangers high fiving and all the chants. Wound up delaying the recap drop a bit.

 

[mbewane]

Why did Obi and Rose disappear

 

[RickyGQ]

Bro has the same habits and weaknesses

He’s going to have games and stretches of piss poor play like this his game is still dependent on bulldozing into the paint

We can agree that he’s had very few games THAT bad in his entire career no? I’m not saying he’s a bonafide superstar but that’s not the player he is. He looked like rookie RJ at times driving to the paint aimlessly. I’m perfectly fine throwing that game out altogether.
