You know what is wild about this, Donovan Mitchell also classifies as too small. But when he finally asks out of Cleveland, ESPN will run a 24hr 7 days a week full court press saying the Knicks need to give up whatever it takes to get him!🤣
Becky Hammon: [The Knicks] don't have a dude... you got to have a 1A dude."
Kendrick Perkins: "They do have that dude."
B: "Who?"
K: "Jalen Brunson."
B: "He too small. If your best player is small, you're not winning... Steph Curry is the only dude."

After Porzingis 2nd season he was being hyped as a future superstar. He played 66 games and had 26 games of 20+ pts. Today RJ played his 61st game and recorded his 27th 20+ pt game. Where is his hype?

The Knicks 8th pick in he 2020 draft scored 35 pts while primarily being guarded by the 9th Pick in the 2019 draft and the 9th pick in the 2020 draft. Yet I have people telling me he did it vs G-Leaguers. It is ok to be wrong folks, really it is.

Mitch last night showed why Noel is his backup. Noel is a very good back up no doubt. He held it down while Mitch was out. But he is not on the level of Mitch. The Knicks would be foolish not to have him patrolling the paint for the next decade.

In 2020 the Knicks won 21 games and had the 6th worst record in the NBA. In 2023 the Knicks were the 5th seed and were 2 wins away from the ECF, with the youngest team in the playoffs. That's progress. The Knicks are not in purgatory, they are on the way up.

When Memphis drafted Ja the FO didn't go to the coach and say bench Mike Conley. They traded Conley so the coach had to play Ja. When a FO wants a coach to play youth they create the conditions for the youth to play. Good FO does not put that on a coach.

Elfrid Payton scores 20 pts while taking 18 shots. Knicks twitter sez Payton sucks cause he is inefficient. But wants to trade for Oladipo who is literally averaging 20 pts on 18.2 shots a game. Other than the former allstar you can put after his name what is the difference?

It is not overpaying Mitch to pay him 13-14 mil a year, that is actually an average salary. It is absurd to expect RJ Barrett to take on the same role Jimmy Butler has for the Heat but get Duncan Robinson's pay. Many of us say we want a young core, well you have to pay for it!

In 2017 the Cavs traded an allstar PG in Kyrie Irving and it took 5 yrs before they had another allstar PG to replace him in Garland. In 2014 the Knicks traded a "mediocre journeyman" in Raymond Felton and we are still trying to replace him. SMH

Guards have killed the Knicks all year. So Thibs counters by putting his 3 best defenders at guard in the rotation. It's called an adjustment, you know the thing we said Thibs didn't do last year. It may not be popular in some circles but we asked for it.

So Randle cant handle the smoke? Remember he is only here because players like KD,Kawhi, and Lebron didn't want the smoke at all. Maybe us fans should hand out less smoke.

Did you know that the Knicks lost 10 games vs below .500 teams where they had 4th qtr leads last yr? Or that they were 18-26 in games decided by 5pts or less? Last years squad had issues closing games. Brunson and a healthy Rose may help with that.

Heard some Philly guys saying that Deuce can't hit those shots all series. They don't realize that the reason he played last night is he has been consistently hitting those shots since he was inserted in the rotation. What Deuce did is actually the norm for him, not the outlier.

Thibs has benched RJ in the 4th quarter more than folks realize. Last night made the 16th time RJ did not close a non garbage time game under Thibs. The Knicks record in those games 3-13 over the last 3 seasons. Benching him is the coach's right, but then you gotta win.

the Knicks draft Frank with the 8th pick. Then they sign Sessions to take mins from Frank. Then sign Jack to take mins from Sessions. Then sign Burke to take mins from Jack. Then trade for Mud to take mins from Burke. The trade for Dsj to take take mins from Mud. Then sign Elf.

Consider this, Steven Adams will make 17.9 mil next season. He has taken 43 more shots than Mitch but scored 72 fewer pts, has twice as many turnovers, and has blocked fewer than half the shots Mitch has in 3 more games. And I got people telling me 13 mil is an overpay for Mitch.

If the Knicks make the playoffs with a 9 man rotation where 7 of the 9 are 24 and under that is not purgatory. That means those young players did enough things well to contribute to winning. In my day a team with that many young players contributing was called an ascending team.

Last nights game made Phil Jackson laugh and cry. He laughed because the Knicks ran a ton of triangle last night and were successful with it. He cried because there was 0 backlash for Thibs running an antequated offense. Why? Thibs never calls it the triangle.

Jalen Brunson is everything the Knicks need in a PG. He can score, play make, he is mentally and physically tough, he is a leader and a winner. Your only knock on him is he isn't 6'4. But he plays with more heart than a lot of guards 6'4 and up in this league.

The Knicks have set their books up in a way that RJ can get a max extension and they could still go after a star in 23 should one be available. That is why I dont see RJs role being reduced this season. They appear to have planned for RJ getting the bag.

Over his Last 4 games Randle has seen his mins drop to 31 mins on average, Obi has seen an uptick to a little over 17 mins a game in the same stretch. Obi is avging 12.5 pts, 4.25 Rebs, with those mins, He is becoming more productive in his mins which is great in year 2.

Donovan Mitchell is a top 20 player, he is not a top 5 player in MVP discussions every yr. Traditionally that player is worth 2 rotation players, 2 1sts and matching salary. In these times fine 4 1sts and 3 rotation guys. More than that I would walk away.

Ya Know what is wild, The Knicks are playing more guys under 25 this season than last season, but this is the season that we have people saying that the present coach does not play young players. The Knicks play 5 guys under 25, that is alot folks, look around at other rotations.

Tom Thibodeau as of this morning has a career coaching record of 422-319. Last season was the 1st time Randle was on a team that finished .500 or better. Despite this being a players league, expect the Knicks FO to move Randle before replacing Thibs. Better track record.

Knicks Fans: Thibs sucks, doesn't know what he is doing, outdated offense blah, blah blah. Me: De'Aaron Fox is supposed to be an elite PG, yet he has failed to elevate his teams. Same Knicks fans: Fox has never had a coach, Thibs would get the most out of him. LOL!

It is absolutely OK to want the Knicks to trade for Myles Turner cause you think he is good. But if you tell me Mitch is always hurt, then I am going to question your judgement. Since 2018, Myles Turner 225 games, Mitch 230 games played.

Here is a fun exercise, listen to how certain Knicks fans and content creators talk about RJ. Then listen to NBA players like Kawhi, Lebron, Butler, and Tatum, who play against RJ talk about him. It sounds like 2 different players. Who is right?

Remember the Knicks did not come into this offseason with a Mitchell or bust mindset. It is clear that they felt the need to upgrade PG with Brunson and solidifying center. That they made an offer and then have let Ainge stew suggests they like what they have.

Melo has given several interviews about why he didn't have more success in NY. Each time he says the same thing. "I was there for 7 years and I had 5 coaches and 3 GMs. You can't build anything that way." Thibs needs to be the last coach we fire after 2 years.

When Leon Rose was hired, it was assumed that because he represented stars as an agent, that he would bring stars to NY. What Leon has actually done is built stars instead of trade for them, i.e. Brunson and Randle. That seems to have thrown folks off.

The weirdest flex is downgrading RJ's play in Toronto by calling it empty stats because the Raptors are not winning. The Raptors were also a bad team with OG, was he an empty stats guy? The Knicks got better and the Raptors got a young piece to build with. Both can be true.

Charlotte traded a 1st rd pick to the Knicks, in order to draft Kai Jones, who proceeded to play 63 mins all season. Crickets from Hornets fans. NY traded that pick for Cam who played 215 mins before suffering a season ending injury. Knicks Fans wanted Thibs fired. Passion!

Jericho is repped by Klutch. Who didn't seem to object when he signed a 3 year deal with the Knicks. Guess Rich Paul's beef with Leon is situational. Like when there is a player who can help Lebron on the trade market.

The Knicks are on pace to win 40 games this season. Should they manage to do that it will be the first time since the 2000/2001 seasons that the Knicks managed to win 40 or more games in back to back years. Thibs was an assistant on those teams.

Have any Knicks fans considered that instead of trading Fox to acquire Randle that the Sacramento GM might be thinking of trying to pair Fox with Randle? Remember NBA GM's of opposing teams do not usually make trades to make Knicks twitter happy. Just a thought.

If Leon Rose doesn't suceed in NY it will be hard to blame Dolan. Rose will inherit the best situation of any Knicks executive in 20 yrs. He has 7 1st round picks in the next 4yrs and 5 2nd rounders. He has a relatively clean cap. Dolan couldn't hand him a better situation.

On Thibs benching RJ, Mr. Barrett clearly did not have it today, and maybe Thibs was trying to send a message to the team, but all he really did was demonstrate hypocrisy, because Randle has had even worse performances and energy on his watch without even the hint of a benching.

Isaiah Hartenstein has easily won this years Elfrid Payton memorial villain of the year award. What is amazing is folks went from praising the signing, calling out MSG politics and Thibs for not starting him in spaces to hating him in under 50 gms. That has got to be a record.

People are claiming Zach Lavine is a star but consider this, Julius Randle, whom we correctly claim isn't a star has led the Knicks to more wins since the 2020-21 season that Lavine has the Bulls. In my day in order to be a star you had to win games.

What happened with Frank last night was a very mundane thing. A NBA player broke out of a shooting slump. RJ, IQ, Burks, Bullock and Rose all have had slumps and broke out of them. What was remarkable, is this was the 1st time Frank was given an opportunity to work thru a slump.
15

187
Julius Randle stating that he will gladly retire Point Randle and focus on playing off ball was music to many Knicks fans ears. But it came with a caveat, that Brunson and Rose be the ones on ball. Injuries to those 2 could trigger the return of Point Randle.

RJ is 3rd on the team in scoring and usage. He is averaging 19.7 pts a game as the 3rd option and has scored 15 or more points in 44 of the 55 games he has played this season and if you follow Knicks twitter you would swear he was Kevin Knox circa 2019!

LOL 🤣 people are slandering Thibs over this, when the Raptors coach was telling him to play like he played in NY, when he was being coached by Thibs!
"Darko pulled me aside while the game was going on and said: 'You're not having fun. Have fun.' I've never really had a coach do that."
