It's not a shooting slump and it's not about the bench so much. We just can't get open looks. We don't run any action, no plays, one screen and we're completely stagnant. It's tough watching right now
Bruson might be our weakest link..the size of the players made him look way out and played on the defensive end, and they were on him big time..the wings were terrible ..
The starters were not playing good defense, even when they were fresh. So let’s be cognizant of that. I definitely think OG was playing good defense before and now is tired or hurt. And as for the young guys - I think at this point Sims and precious, have proven they just aren’t that good. So the fans are irritated to not see more Hukporti- nobody saying that Huck is the next coming of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. What we’re saying is- we think he has a chance to be better than Sims and Achiuwa…
@ sorry but I’m not a buyer. I didn’t buy this argument at the beginning of the season either. This team just doesn’t play good defense because Brunson and Towns are not good defensive players, and Mikal just never was a good on wall defender- though he is good at help defense. So they are going to have to outscore people, or play towns at the 4 and rely upon more rim protection with Mitch if he ever gets healthy again. People said it didn’t work in Minnesota- but they did get pretty far… I understood that Huk was not boxing out very well at the beginning of the season - so that’s reasonable to have him working on that before he gets in the game, except now, it has become clear that Sims A chiuwa are just not providing that much- so might as well get the Huk some on the job training…
@ just watch him dude- there are no more “positions” anymore in the league aside from center. Not like there were when I was a kid. First of all, there were real centers who did real post up moves with her back to the basket… we don’t even really have that very much now either… And I was kind of a precious fan too - the stark reality is he’s just not putting up much production. I’m not talking about simple numbers on a sheet. I am watching him game in game out and he’s just not getting it done.
It's either play the bench for significant minutes and lose or go with the starters or fire Thibs and sign a new coach. Pick your poison or fight this season out. There's going to be some changes coming next season with the increase in money. One thing that could help is Mitch returning, him starting with KAT at the four and Hart going back to the bench to anchor it with Precious and Deuce. We need Mitch. J say to play him significant minutes cuz he looks great. He's lost about thirty pounds and is in better shape than he has been ever coming off an injury. He's not forgotten how to play and teams have been killing us in the paint because he's been out. That changes when he returns. Gotta try something. Guys will have to continue to sacrifice. Would Hart sacrifice starters minutes and come off the bench? I think so. But I will not believe they don't want to win. They just need to figure out how to do it together as a team.
@@georgecherry1536You are assuming the bench would mess it up . Did you see Hakporti yesterday . Kolek has shown promise running an offense . Others have shown promise as well . They'd be even better if they were getting consistent minutes , at least ten , and knew it.
At the end of the day Hakporti.has done well the two times he was given a chance. Look at what they do and can do, not at when they were drafted . Thats the problem with Thibbs , thats whst he does.
Look let's be for real we're a second round game 6 or 7 exit let's make it to the ecf before we can talk NBA finals thibs can't adjust don't expand his rotation don't play the young juys and jhart is better off the bench im a realistic Knicks fan not delusional
The Team defense is bad......they don't close in on players. That's the problem
Can't even use the excuse random players lighting us up when all they're shots are wide open

Defense is harder to learn than offense. It’s going to take time.

How can you say Precious isn't that good when all year Thibs played Precious out of position with herky jerky mins. play?

Thibs suposed to be a defensive minutos ja,ja ja
Mind
Thibs refuses to play the bench, now the starters legs are cooked and it's not even mid season!
Exactly
💯 SMH

Teams figure Brunson out the Knicks are cooked
Hukporti is the answer season definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over
At the end of the day Hakporti.has done well the two times he was given a chance. Look at what they do and can do, not at when they were drafted . Thats the problem with Thibbs , thats whst he does.
You gotta ho big and start hourlti sit hart bridges on bench
You guys are over reacting
Look let's be for real we're a second round game 6 or 7 exit let's make it to the ecf before we can talk NBA finals thibs can't adjust don't expand his rotation don't play the young juys and jhart is better off the bench im a realistic Knicks fan not delusional
