OFFICIAL NYk '22 offseason thread, RJ extended

[Coupé It]

Plus Russ looked like an actual pretty good mentor to the younger cats on the teams before LA.

Meh. I don’t really care about that s***. I’m in it for just the contract.

But I get your point.

 

[Mark Antony]

Meh. I don’t really care about that s***. I’m in it for just the contract.

But I get your point.

Oh I don't care about that **** either.

@ the Zion convo.

 

[big j 33]

Dog, I hate this team. I know we lost but I'm still watching the replay. We're by 9 with 9 minutes left. How the hell did we lose?

 

[keko jones]

loving these Taj minutes, we hit with that pick, def has a bright future

You can't fault Thibs ... whats that alternative? Jericho Simms a 23 y/o bottom of the barrel draftee??? Or old *** Obi???

 

[paulminus]

Development is the alternative.

“Guys need to earn their minutes” - Thibbs

Ok Thibs, that means the starters didn’t earn their minutes with all this losing now let’s continue developing the young guys smh

 

[don ramon]

that floors definitely padded


i prefer these kids lose the game than the vets lose games. either way tom thibodeau is an incompetent fool who can't coach this team properly because either way they lose going through the same motions. yeah it's about talent, but this ahole coach hasn't harnessed what he's been given. he's an inept fool

 

[paulminus]

Taj shouldn’t be playing more than 10min, maybe at all this late in the season with nothing to play for

 

[biggie62]

Taj shouldn’t be playing more than 10min, maybe at all this late in the season with nothing to play for

What do you mean? We are developing to see what he can be in 3 years just like Alex Burks at the PG position.

 

[floodarea]

had no idea it was a back 2 back tonight

was excited for my off day

only 10 games left tho

 

[dmvisrnb]

Lmao It's pretty obvious the floor is padded that Zion is practicing on, but I'll let social media do it's thing

 

[dmvisrnb]

Is Julius playing tonight? I hope not

Difference is a top 10 pick was invested in Obi, he absolutely needed to be out there. Idc if he had 5 fouls.

I just think Thibs doesn’t like Obi. More often than not Obi is mediocre, but even when hes actually good he’s always benched asap. To run a Taj/Sims or Taj/Mitch lineup in 2022 is psycho.

Give us 30+ minutes of Taj .... lets go.

No difference man ...

It has been and will continue to be Thibs bro ...

Like I said, Im not saying Duece was / is the savior. Neither did I say he started the F thibs ... i simply stated what you feel and we all know ... these young cats regardless of talent need to start or play over these journeymen.....

Nothing will change bro ..... either deal everyone away and get us a superstart or fire Thibs and properly build.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Brother Raw sums it up pretty well about Deuce. It’s not like the Knicks need a superstar point guard. They just need a real one. He is him. Guys like Obi & Mitch (Sims) game will go to new levels when they finally give him the ball.

I’m down for trading for Brunson while keeping Deuce to run mob deep from the bench for the next couple seasons.

RJ gotta be tired. 42 min in the 70sum game of the year. Idc what his %s were going to be.

 

[floodarea]

jericho starting

randle out

 

[8pm at msg]

I wanna watch but at the same time I've seen enough struggle ball from my favorite team for the past 20+ years.

Might as well start Snowfall.

 

[floodarea]

obi playing well

 

[don ramon]

obi is getting his career high if he remains in the game

 

[naijaboy]

obi is getting his career high if he remains in the game

Easily looking fluid tonight, hopefully the moment continues all game

 

[dmvisrnb]

Off ball cuts, great passing, defense? I don't care if we win or not....bottom line is NONE of this **** happens when Randle is the guy. The difference in team effort and philosophy on the court is night and day. I've seen enough to know I never wanna see him in Blue and Orange ever again

 

[floodarea]

the difference in atmosphere this team has when they’re not forced to play w randle is so obvious it’s embarrassing

i don’t think randle plays another game this season tbh

that dude is not hurt

FO finally trying to get a look at what we have
just 70 games too late

 

[ny mavurs]

This is a nice lead we have at the moment…

 

[Mister Meaner]

Really giving up all the rebound with this small *** lineup.

 

[dmvisrnb]

Why TF did Thibs take out Obi for Deuce? We were doing fine and now this small ball lineup can't get into the paint and is only launching 3s. These are the type of bonehead coaching decisions that make us lose leads
