The pieces are there. I just hope we spread the minutes out these next few months to not have the guys worn down when playoffs roll around. At this point we should just wait for Mitch and hope he can play 20 games of the next possible 50 give or take a Finals run
I watched the Cav's-Lakers game tonight and on the 2nd night of a back to back, the Cav's were clearly the deeper better shooting team. I think the Knicks lack the depth, especially off the bench to compete with Cleveland, Boston or Oklahoma City
I think the Knicks could add T.J. Warren. I think he could score off the bench and if Bridges or OG gets hurt you could combine him with Dadier or Okeke.
are those starter/bench numbers normalizing to minutes played/posessions each game? Just have a hunch that the reason they are ranked #30 in defense (and #1 offense) is because they are just playing more minutes, so naturally they'll score and give up more points
Happy New Year we are a threat. On offense our ball movement and chemistry are off the charts. The defense will gell and accelerate when Mitch returns. We are coming .
Super deep analysis, but I have to respectfully disagree on subbing out Brunson in any scenario. If he can be on the court then he should be on the court.
Superior athletes, which NBA players are, that play 36 + minutes a game won’t wear out. That’s faulty conventional wisdom. The vast majority of their games are every other night. They didn’t lose last year in the playoffs cuz they were tired. They lost because they were injured. I do agree that Thibs needs to take his starters out of blowouts to lessen the chance of injuries.
Keeping starters in the game when we're up by 20 with 3 minutes left, doesn't give me the confidence that we can beat the Cavs in the playoffs. Remember last season?
Bruh stop with the bs. If the Knicks players aren’t complaining what gives any of you any rights to complain? Ya are not playing they are. And if they feel they needed more rest they will get it.
lol I can’t with these bs statements. The Knicks are contenders and we beat who ever was on the floor stop belittle their accomplishments. When we was depleted were you saying the same thing? Boy bye
@George good talk but you forgot one key thing we are capped to the 2nd tier. If we do trade for a wing kiss good bye to deuce, Precious and even cam Payne. The only way to upgrade wing is to trade Mitch unfortunately and his stock could be low until he plays and proves that he is healthy.
Knicks fan since 1970. Word of advice. Enjoy the improvement and success but wait until the playoffs like last year to get overly excited.
We haven’t lost since that Trae Young dice roll

Mitch is the X-factor. Knicks starting defense should improve and bench offense should improve as JH slots to the bench.

Happy New Year, George 🎉. Thank you for your content always enjoyable.
Clearly we haven’t demonstrated anything against top teams. The upcoming OKC game will be a measuring stick
This is the comment
New here!!
Happy New Year everybody!! Go Knicks!!
With regard to the bench, they need to play more to establish a rhythm offensively and defensively, just like the starters.
Happy new year George, let’s go Knicks.
Happy New Year, Juan!
I think the Knicks could add T.J. Warren. I think he could score off the bench and if Bridges or OG gets hurt you could combine him with Dadier or Okeke.

@@gideonamankwah6491 happy new year, gideon! These Knicks are gonna make us proud LFGK!
@IntotheKnicksVerse Heck yeah
Happy Holidays I’m putting my trust in Leon Rose and I believe he will pull the trigger if necessary
We need a healthy Mitch
Definitely!

Herb Jones or Toumani Camara

YES!
The Knicks traded 5 first round (10 second round) for bridges
Super deep analysis, but I have to respectfully disagree on subbing out Brunson in any scenario. If he can be on the court then he should be on the court.
They're not because they need better defense the coaching can be alot better
Not until MITCH comes back THEN WE R THAT TEAM
We need a wing
Ingram is not coming off the bench
If players wanna really be champs they hafta sacrifice.
The bench is no good
Understood, but baseball has no salary cap or aprons...
They jus need to play up to the under 500 teams and clamp down on defense

Being fatigued leads to more injuries.
What the Knicks need is making the free throws, stop making these ridiculous turnovers, and defense.
no they are number 3 we need a sharp 3 point shooter
That doesn't mean nothing
Keeping starters in the game when we're up by 20 with 3 minutes left, doesn't give me the confidence that we can beat the Cavs in the playoffs. Remember last season?
I think the owner needs to step in and let him know that has to stop.
Bruh stop with the bs. If the Knicks players aren’t complaining what gives any of you any rights to complain? Ya are not playing they are. And if they feel they needed more rest they will get it.
None of the other is not as good as the Celtic
No not yet we've been beating bad to mediocre teams many of which were missing their best players...we still have work to do...
lol I can’t with these bs statements. The Knicks are contenders and we beat who ever was on the floor stop belittle their accomplishments. When we was depleted were you saying the same thing? Boy bye
Not gonna make it 3 rounds....too many mins
Ingram, smh!!!!!!
You think that you need help
@George good talk but you forgot one key thing we are capped to the 2nd tier. If we do trade for a wing kiss good bye to deuce, Precious and even cam Payne. The only way to upgrade wing is to trade Mitch unfortunately and his stock could be low until he plays and proves that he is healthy.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
