Yung Knickas Wildin|Draft Picks Stylin|Grimes n Mcbride Got Bball God's Smilin NYK Discussion Thread

nikkas want game 6 attack this nikka Trae out the gate. It's ridiculous how Thibs doesn't have Rose and RJ get the switch and take turns bullying this nikka to the rim, fukk if Capela there, we dying cause nikkas settling for contested jumpers and then leaving nikkas open to take 3s. The Hawks offense is night and day when Trae isn't on the court.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Y'all make it sound like this is some easy shyt. Like you can magically make Trae guard RJ or Randle and exploit him. Trae guarding Reggie Bullock... So unless we start Burks and have Reggie come off the bench, nothing we can really do with Trae

Switching breh, other teams do it all the time in their favor. Trae had 3 first half fouls. I didn’t see one possession in the 3rd qtr where Thibs ran anything to go at Trae & pick up #4. He has to coach better than that.

Exactly, dudes could have gotten him off the court in foul trouble yet didn't even exploit that.

these are the lessons usually learned within the first 2-3 years of an actual star.
took julius 7 years to get to this stage.....late bloomer stuff. he'll learn from it...but in that same token . I dont believe he's a true #1...and just is one cause of circumstance.
thibs has done him no favors in terms of adjustments.

Right. They went into this series knowing that the ONLY advantage we had against them was Julius and they took him out just like the Thibs lead Celtics defense did against Kobe back in 08 and 09. Julius isn’t a number one but we knew that already. Nothings changed besides our hurt feelings. We’re still in the hunt for a true number 1 (preferably a wing) and a significant upgrade at point guard.

It’s not like the hawks are hitting tough shots either, they be wide the fukk open

what kinda defense is that

I might start next game with rose, IQ, RJ, Randle and taj


Frank has to get some burn too

I don’t believe he is a #1, and Trae Young, who is also playing in his first playoff series and has been in the league far less time than Julius, is showing us what a true star looks like.

 

[King Static X]

It's clear that Julius Randle can't be option #1, he's an option #2 type player. A team's offense can't be centered around Julius Randle period.

The Knicks need an elite point guard. We haven't had one since Walt Frazier. The Knicks also need a solid knock-down 3 point shooter like Bogdanović.

 

[seemorecizzy]

this is embarrassing

 

[seemorecizzy]

Honestly, this is on Thibs more than Randle imo.

its definitely on randle more
but thibs is always a step slow when it comes to makin adjustments.

shouldnt of started rose today

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

Embarrassing

 

[Ty-Fife]

Mitch is sorely missed too, Trae wouldn't be abusing the PnR as much as has and damn sure would have a harder time getting those floaters off and finding the roll man.

 

[Wargames]

This draft Knicks should look at Ayo and Ziaire basically as Burke and Bullock replacements.

There isn’t enough talent in FA to make it worth it.

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

No need to be delusional. We can’t box with these guys. We’re missing playmakers and shooters. Priority #1 is to get a point guard. Just don’t come at me with that Lonzo shyt.

 

[SadimirPutin]

I feel sorry for Randle because unfortunately in the eyes of fans this will negate much of what he di this year

And no matter what he does next year he will hear "show me in the playoffs"

I told y’all Randle isn’t as effective when he isn’t prioritized

#2 option? Ideally that nikka is a #4 or 6th Man on a championship team.
