Figured someone desperate enough could and would look at him like a lead guard. Houston comes to mind.

 

[ballinsam23]

As long as Thibs is coach, IQ wont be traded

“Get Top on the phone”

“per ian begley”

yeah nothing to see here folks

 

[Mark Antony]

This team gonna be .500 all season

Literally some mid.

hartenstein my new favorite knick

 

[donewithjs]

I was Def wrong on Hartenstein but still don’t like watching him play

 

[Arthur Shelby]

 

[biggie62]

As if I didn’t hate him enough. He’s bagging her? Life ain’t fair.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

I know she gets on his ******* nerves

 

[Mister Meaner]

Hart is all heart and hustle. And perfectly suited in his backup role.

Spoiler

Idk also but maybe the FO and coaching staff are in lockstep as far as expectations go and midd should have been seen as a strong possibility. Some more creative offensive schemes surely would help but still recognize the value he adds [over the field].

Idk y a .500 record should be looked down on by any Knicks fans as if these little bastards had been spoiled the last sum years with excellence; and now fighting for play-in or just above is a bad thing.

Can’t skip steps but not about to start a class also for these fans just showing up talking out the ***.

I do believe this lineup figures to only get better with chemistry. Ball movement is much improved and now they need more people moving w/o it. Shooting touch should get closer to league average too.

They just signed JB so I don’t expect a total reset for maybe a couple more szns. Praying still Evan & Julius find new homes sooner than that.

45 wins. RJ 50 piece along the way. Might as well let Cam live starting next to Broadway. He can at least carve a solid 3&D role somewhere in this lineup.

 

[njavier03]

I’ll buy a jersey if RJ drops 50

 

[Mister Meaner]

Can’t sleep on OKC either. Noon start as well .

SGA is in the lineup I believe so they’re gonna need Grimes Reddish on point.

hope this team stops the bad habit of brunson dribbling the ball over halfcourt then handing it to julius only for brunson to stand in the corner. been noticing this happen more and more particularly in the third and fourth quarters. stuff like that is on the coach

basketball at 9am on the west coast is still wild to me

 

[don ramon]

 

[dmvisrnb]

Love the energy out there. Sims with some great minutes. DRose looks good again as the rightful ball handler in the 2nd unit

 

[Mister Meaner]

48 points in the 1st quarter on a Sunday afternoon.

I done seen it all.

 

[dmvisrnb]

The Sims alley from Rose was incredible

 

[Mister Meaner]

That’s more like the Sunday Knicks. They blew their load in the first.

 

[don ramon]

fire this coach

 

[dmvisrnb]

Smh SGA please come to NY. #9 ain't it

 

[8pm at msg]

Cam showing out right now

 

[dmvisrnb]

Cam showing out right now

It won't matter because they never pass him the ball. By the time he touches it, he has to fling up some garbage because he probably won't touch the rock again for another 5 possessions. When you are playing defense like he is, I know it has to be discouraging. Meanwhile he's the only one who can really attack the paint. It's infuriating

 

[jayocampo]

Imagine breaking the franchise record pts scored in a quarter just to lose lmaoooo.
