Official '24 NYK playoffs thread, RD1 vs PHI

[worldbeefreeg]

Donte is playing great, but that's a tiny backcourt come playoff time. I don't think his shooting will hold up to those sort of levels against the best defenses. That's why I would go size/defense with Bog.

But the depth is a good problem to have.

No wonder why Pistons fans are so pissed off



I forget our team has the Pistons pick

 

[paulminus]

He's def starting. He averages 20ppg this season. It'll likely (when Randle and OG get back) be Hartenstein/Randle/OG/Bojan/Brunson.

With that lineup everyone is 6'7 or taller, except Brunson.
How will Thibs utilize Bojan if he plays just as much defense as Fournier?
IF Randle stinks it up playoff time. He's gone for Zion or Giannis and 5 picks

 

[gaiiige]

WE ARE ABSOLUTELY LOADED

Hate to see Grimes go but idk what happened to him this year.

Burks & Bojan both 40% 3-point shooters

My only concern is that they think the OG injury is worse than they're letting on. But I guess we'll see

Yall follow each other on IG on here? eyes

A few of these guys were at my wedding

BROTHERS 4 LYFE

 

[d3si]

just take the L
no big deal

So Thibs has a good reason to play starters for 45+ minutes tonight

Edit:
This made me chuckle

 

[njavier03]

Tonight’s game is a throw away for sure. Matter fact, sign me to a 10 hour contract.

[you go boy]

I would hate to be at tonights game thats for sure

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

I like the pickups.

D Fly you’re a knicks fan, what are your thoughts on the trade?

 

[biggie62]

Sign Dinwiddie?

 

[Spectacular23]

People will always bring up the fact that we didn't get Donovan Mitchell because of Grimes being untouchable.

THAT WILL BE ME SIR, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THE KNICKS FOR KEEPING BUM *** GRIMES FOR DONOVAN

Having said that, good bye, good riddance, hello Bojan

Maybe the shooting won't stay consistent, who can say for sure? But in my opinion, this statement is nonsensical. In the playoffs, you rely on your stars (Brunson, Randle, and OG). Donte is a complementary player who, when given the opportunity, can knock down shots and hustle like the dog he is. In my opinion, he's precisely what we need when playoffs roll around, reminiscent of his time with GSW.

he's essentially playing IQ's role, but as a starter. he plays solid defense, can hit the 3, and get hot any night.

we're getting a lot of love from media, which is weird as hell tbh. i almost don't want it

Sign Dinwiddie?

If the NBA extends each quarter to 18minutes, then yes.

 

[biggie62]

If the NBA extends each quarter to 18minutes, then yes.

The nba would give Thibs a permanent errection just thinking that he can play all his players over 35 minutes each game.

I figured there was something up with OG, that’s partially why we got Bojan too

3 weeks isn’t terrible honestly, take out 1 cause of all star break. As long as he’s healthy for the postseason

 

[don ramon]

thats ok. could be a lot worse
he'll get cleaned up and be back to playing well again

 

[ballinsam23]

Wow. Just saw the news.

We caught a break. Usually post surgery for bone spurs is atleast 2 months recovery

 

[you go boy]

not bad news but why did they wait so long to have the surgery smh

 

[don ramon]

they were probably getting multiple opinions and weighing options about surgery being needed or not
