NFT: State of the Knicks chat

nygiants16 : 1/27/2021 8:09 am
Knicks are 8-11, just after the quarter mark of the season and finished their "hard" part kf the schedule. Now a bunch of home games to finish the first half of thr season.

Better start then anyone of us have thought.

Randle: Looks a little tired towards the end of the road trip, but still playing well, 22 10 and 5 on the season. Turnovers still an issue, need another guy to take the pressure off of him and Rj.

Rj Barrett: Rough start to the season, i was as hard on him as anyone on here, but he has really started to play good consistent basketball. Not settling for 3, making the wide open ones. Still has some things to work on but playing very well as the number 2.

Immanuel Quickley: Still a little up and down, he is a bit of chucker but you love it when his shot is falling and i think it will fall more than it wont. He is not a true point guard but in todays NBA he can play the 1. I look for him to keep getting more minutes.

Mitchell Robinson: Good shot blocker, good rebounder, everything else meh. I think he is good at what he is, i dont think he is some untouchable player, in todays NBA you wonder whats his role..

Obi Toppin: injury has hurt him trying to find his spot on this team, you see moments and go damn and then you see moments and go WTF? & gt; do think his jumper will be mlre reliable as he gets more comfortable, need a point guard to unlock him.

Nerlens Noel: Good for ehat he is, back up big, has some moments you shake your head, but in his role he has value.

Austin Rivers: This is him, some games you are like how is he making on 3 million and some games you are going to say thank god it is only 3 million. I think he brings value to this team and i think he should start at point until Quickley is ready.

Alec Burks: Injiry hurt him and this team, he was rolling to start the season, best 3 point shooter on this team, and hopefully as he gets going again we see that player from thr start.

Elfrid, Knox, Bullock: Go the fuck away.

I expect trade rumors to start swirling because i think Rose and Thibs do not want to give up on this season and as long as they are close to the playoffs, they will make moves to help make this team better, i dont see selling off of vets

he seems to be the calming player next to Quickley, when he sees quickley going to fast he takes the ball and settles

Yeah, the Quickley/Rivers/RJ combo is very effective.
Quickley didnt even vreak a sweat

On another good note

the Mavs are down 37-14. Obviously with Luka they can get back into any game in like 5 game minutes, but still a good start.
Just to follow up nygiants16...

I really dont dislike JR as a player. But if we are serious about adding a scorer like Beal to the squad, do you want JR making the decisions he has been?

-Turning the ball over in the paint and on rebounds under the basket

-The shit-dishes he gives out when he gives up on a whirling drive to the hoop

-completely quitting on transition D

-missing badly under the basket (a no-no for a numbers 4

Again, I like the player, but is it so easy a decision to give up a player like Toppin whose game compliments Beal's game (command of the ball) over Randle. Randle's numbers might actually make the deal cost less interms of picks.

Honestly, I prefer to keep Toppin, but Im not 100%. Randle has a more polished game, but Toppin offers a different dimension athletically.
On a positive note,

Aside from his great numbers, Barrett has been absolutely extraordinary in his new approach. Aggressive to the hole, instinctive in transition, better on defense, taking the shots that come to him.

I happily admit that I was wrong about his early season struggles and associating his college play with what he would do in the pros. He is playing VERY GOOD basketball.
The Mavs are down 87-60.

KP has 3 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 fouls in 16 minutes.

Truly didnt see us being winners in that deal given how KP was playing with Dallas and how bad DSJ has been for us. But that Dallas 1st rounder is looking to be a serious chip at this point, tho its early.
Perfect evening for the Knicks.

God I would love to see the Mavs fall apart this season, though I suspect they’ll figure out a way to at least stay mediocre. Either way, that pick will be higher than anticipated.

Last night was one of Randles best games, even though he didnt sckre at a high clip, he let the game come to him...

Can we start talking about how the Knicks may have won the KP trade??
