Agreed. I'll trust Thibs' judgement. He's doing a helluva job. I just wished IQ got more minutes, but that time will come for sure.
Yiu can see in games when Quickley is playing well thibs sticks with him..
If he is not shooting well he pulls him pretty quick
Yes, but I'd love for Thibs to stick with him even in games where his shot is off. Experience. It'll benefit him long term. Again, I defer to Thibs...just a pet peeve of mine.

i agree, im really hoping after the deadline Payton is gone and Rose and Quick are the point guards..
I'm all over the map on RJ...I have no good feel. Sometimes he drives me mad, other times he looks like real good. What sucks, for him, is that he got drafted behind two potential studs in Zion & Ja so there's going to be that comparison, fair or not.

His 3 ball is a lot better than either of those guys.
Perhaps, but he's not all around better than either one. And I don't mean that as a knock. Both were drafted above him so that should be expected. I haven't seen Ja a lot this season, but have caught a couple of Pels games and Zion...man...I had major doubts of him as a pro, but he's the real deal.
Why are the announcers still not in the arena? Is it a NBA mandate? I get not traveling but why not at home games? They are missing are a ton of things. Not just MSG- all around the league.

Nate won it three times, and not all that long ago. I got him, the one I couldn't remember was Sky Walker. (Who wasn't that great a player, sort of Kevin Knox-like, but he did win one slam dunk contest.)
to have more good games then bad ones, becoming more consistent
Say what you will about RJ (and you have, NYG16), but no one can say he's not a hard-worker. Compare his 3P and FT shooting from last year to this year. He's been leaps and bounds better.
There's so much to like about what they've done. The only thing you wish you could have gotten was Obi Toppin looking great from the get go. I think he's figuring it out though.
Whatever luck the Knicks have fallen into has blessed them with a tremendously important piece of building a real team: an all-star already under contract, a two-way player who makes players around him better and does a lot of the dirty work.
I see no reason why Julius Randle can't be a #2 or a number #3 on a conference finals roster.
not that the designations matter all that much but
RJ is usually listed at the 2 but what I see is he's playing the 3, and Bullock the 2. Or maybe in Thibs' system those two positions are interchangeable.

Oh absolutely his 3 point shooting has been great and he is not forcing the 3 point shot..

he still needs to work on his FT shooting. His February numbers were pretty bad although his 3P% shot up
has been pretty banged up, locked into huge money 2 more seasons, and id be a bit worried about adding another guy who is def bests with the ball in his hands. That said MINN gave up a first that is going to be a great pick mosts likely for GSW, whether its this year (top 3 protected) or next (unprotected). So MINN is going to want to "win" a russell trade pretty bad which means they would ask for a lot.
Damn everyone will back on "RJ will never an good player" the first 8 point game he has.
He has just played 90 games and is 20 there are going to be a lot of up and downs.
He is going to be an all-star some day and I will live with the bad games and growing pains.

You and me are on the same page Larry.
Give the kids time.
At this point Pinson will probably start
We should crush them.
I'm both relieved and disappointed...
Ugh. When is IQ going to crack the starting lineup? 2031?

I dont think they view him as a full time point right now

Fair enough, but why wouldn't he get a shot as a starter against this Detroit team that's missing 1/2 their players? THibs just doesn't like him...?

Huh? Coaches dont change the starting lineup based on who they are playing, Thibs loves him and thats pretty obvious
That little hesitation move was a thing of beauty
His 3 ball is a lot better than either of those guys.
Good first.
Burks was pretty obviously fouled there.
Good first.
He has made a bunch. Last game he was basically on fire.

Haha.

True. I still do a double take though.
they are in the arena
But ... a win. I think a break will help right now. Need Rose and Mitch back, and Taj for that matter.
Nice games all around.
Thanks
8-3 in their last 11
You can't stop Frank, you can only hope to contain him!

Hey, not just Greg, I hate the Plumlees too. Just something about them.

Which family do you hate more: the Fullers or the Plumlees?

I think the Plumlee that played for the Knicks is in the military now

yeah, I thought he played well tonight.

Gonna miss this team over the next week!
would Minny trade him? Would he be worth a look?

He just had something done on his knee, not sure he would be the right guy to bring in unless his medicals check out
