Note: At 8:37 I mistakingly said Knicks have the best defense they’ve ever had. I meant to say the best offense they’ve ever had. (I wish they had the best defense right now. Freudian slip? 😂)
The Knicks have the talent to be great offensively. Well the starters do. The problem is the defense this year is horrible. We at times have 4 bad defenders in the starting lineup. Brunson small and not quick enough to play defense, Bridges is too slow to chase fast guards around pick and rolls, Hart continues to make defensive mistakes and Towns is confused on whether to play drop coverage or trap the pick. The only consistent defense in the starting five is OG. He cant do it all himself. Off the bench Duece can play defense and hit jumpers but its a struggle to create for himself still. Payne is erratic and doesnt get much time. Precious also doesnt get much time to make an impact.Hopefully when shamet and Mitch comeback we go 9 to 10 deep. Hopefully thibs gives the starters a break and he figures out a defensively lineup that works well offensively.
You make 200 mill. Do you want to fly to LAS for some chump change, or stay home and rest and be with your family. Knowing you will play 40 mins in a lose. Can’t play defense if you are tired. You don’t want to go in the paint; let me just take this jump shot. Hard to go 100 on both sides of the ball and play all game including garbage time.
I stopped watching baseball years ago due to strikes, and only watch playoff series. I have NBA league pass and have been prepared to watch the Knicks, only to find the game is blocked. Can’t find it anywhere, because of some contract😡
They are tied with Orlando for third place in the conference , not the division. Division doesn’t even mean anything these days. However the Knicks have won two games against them so they are in third place.
You the only one that’s leaning toward exactly what I’ve been saying for like three years we need a new coach we cannot win with Thibodaux simple we need a new coach. We need to just start saying it stop beating around the bush.
If you look at Kolek’s numbers in Westchester you’ll see he’s too good for The G League. He looks a little green when he first gets on the floor during an NBA game but Thibs has to STOP hitting the panic button immediately and let him work it out. We need depth and Kolek can give JB meaningful rest but PLEASE let the young man develop!!!!!
No to Kolek right now, there's levels to this. Are people blind to him getting cooked defensively when playing in games, especially 1 on 1? And this is games against other bench players? Him being backup for Brunson right now is asinine. He's getting minutes in the G-league which will help him get better. The fans obsession with these rookies who aren't even top picks in the draft are laughable. Did people forget when the rookies came in at the end of the game when the Knicks played Orlando at the Garden and the lead was cut down to 15 to end the game? That's why rookies don't play heavy minutes.
@ - I disagree. Look at Tristan DeSilva. He wasn’t looking that good in preseason. He’s had a bump in minutes due to injuries and he’s figuring it out. Our rookies have more talent than it looks. They need a little more experience.
Honestly I am not looking for anything special from this Knicks team, I tried buying into the hype after the big trade...but I can't lie to myself, they don't have that fire in them... 90s Knicks is my Knicks, this team gotta make it to the finals to get my interest....
Im a rational knicks fan. They have the talent but dont have the chemistry. The magic are missing their best 2 offensive players and they cant hit a 3 to save their life and the game was still close. Ive lowered my expectations for this team and enjoy the games as best i can.
Uncle George, until they bring modern coach, and Fire Tibs they will not win. Thibs is a good coach that builds foundation of the team, but he is not the guy who can bring the team to the promised land

Is it me or Does Bridges look more comfortable? 🤔 He was in a good flow & he is Consistent! 💪🏼🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙👏👏👏
Been a while since you did a live post game George. Really enjoyed it, thank you and have a wonderful end of year.
Thank you brother!

If I were the Knicks I would trade Robinson and Cam Payne to CHA for Nick Richards and Seth Curry.
Thibbs the starters are not robots

No clickbait here, great content! LGNYK 🏀

We are missing a defensive enforcer, a bully on defense and the boards
💯

You look great for 60, George!
Thank you!
Yea develop your bench then when yiu come to the playoffs all players are healthy
@UncleGeorge, do you think if Thibs doesn't get us past 2nd round of playoffs he will get fired?
Defence and resting starters.For 26 games we are in a dogday afternoon......
Thibbs gonna mess there feet up and knees
❤❤❤❤❤

Mitch has missed more games due to injury than he has played in his career. He has become a liability. I doubt he will be a NY Knick a year from now.
