He's not a PG. Package our 3 PG's for one who can organize this chaos and I'm down.

Ok again from the options we got he is the best option. He needs touches , RANDLE Morris Portis trier and Peyton don’t pass to him and DSJ looks hurt /garbage, Frank isn’t playing . If we can get a real pg great but we not now . Also the perimeter defense needs to be better

 

[23Barrettcity]

I feel you on most of this for sure. The Randle/Portis experiment shoulda been over after the first attempt at it. I do think it’s a bit frustrating the he forced some combos that wouldn’t work and stumbled into ones that made sense.

I will say, Barrett needs the ball in his hands late but he also has to be a better free throw shooter to really lock his case up. I’d also have liked to see Knox get more touches, he shot us back into the game and had two strong drives.

The Randle iso at the top of the key and also running a very similar play four times in a row to Ellington are why I say we need a playbook though. We have Morris and Randle, double screens should be happening all the damned time. I want more Spain pick and rolls, drill that ish till we don’t need a go to player late...just that go to play.

The whole team are terrible shooting Ft

Randle back in game over

You was spot on with this one breh

57.1% from the line

42% in the paint

It might be a long season for Mitch unless we can find a vet like DeAndre Jordan to be Mitchell's coach again, because our coaching staff obviously isn't doing shyt for him.

cmon fam, jj reddikk is a much better player than ellington and has a higher iq and moves the ball if he aint got it.
and to say it doesnt matter? we literally didnt score a point for 3 minutes. WE AINT NEED A CLOSER we were clamping them up until kyrie took over 2 times in a row cause we couldnt put any space between us and them.
decent basketball wouldve been the closer you were looking for
we get 1bucket instead of boneheaded play after boneheaded play we might have won

Like I said J.J. Redikk shoots damn near everything he touches. Nikkas ain't running zig zags off ball all game to not shoot. I see him play and J.J. shoots everything open to tightly contested most of the time. Both Ellington and Redikk can make tightly contested threes off screens.

Even that step back 3 that Mook took I wasn't mad because he created the space and can hit that shot. I really don't know what y'all expect from Fiz or any of these guys on the court lol. The Nets wasn't running no complex shyt down the stretch they gave it to Kyrie and Kyrie went to work.

42% in the paint

Yeah but the amazing 3p% cancels that out. Not hitting your free throws should be a sin as a basketball team

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

We lost solely because of Randle's defense.

The hilarious thing about this is, he had one of the worst offensive displays imaginable, and yet his defense still managed to be worse.

Why ain't Taj helping the kid out

 

[ISO]

Bullshyt . The Knicks don’t run plays that why they lost also the FT is terrible

What plays would you have liked to see the Knicks run

Also keep in mind the personnel that's on the court and how plays break down in the NBA

Taj seems like a no nonsense Jimmy Butler/Thibs no time for young players type of guy. But it's still early

 

[nyknick]

True, but after whole summer league and pre-season of preaching about fouling he commits 5 fouls in 15 minutes.

You're right though it's still early.

 

[RickyGQ]

Can we at least beat Boston tomorrow night

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Why would anyone think you're trolling... We've all been speaking around that same topic since game 1 of preseason

Because whenever I say something that goes against the "norm" some people take it as trolling instead of a harsh reality.

And whoever said the Knicks don't have a #1 option, that's not true. They not paying homie 63 milly to not be the guy.
