NFT: Knicks @ Celtics 7:30 pm

Del Shofner : 4/7/2021 11:10 am
The two teams are tied in the standings and have pretty similar stats. Celts coming off a loss last night to the Sixers. Not ready to use "Knicks" and "big game" in the same sentence yet, but if the hope is to make the playoffs...

ball should of been in Rjs hands in the final 4 minutes, not Randles..

Tired of these close losses that could easily be avoided
Most frustrating stretch of Knicks basketball in well over a decade  
Stu11 : 4/7/2021 10:09 pm : link
And fuck anyone who comes in here and says awww shucks I knew we suck this year is house money blah blah blah. The fact is we don't suck. Payton at pg? Sure he sucks but the Celtics literally have no fucking pg!!!! Talent wise we are better than this Celtic team. We are better than the shitty Twolves. We are better than that slop the Nets had out there the other night. I know I'm overreacting but its so godamn frustrating since the ASB losing close game after close game.
RJ is a future all star  
adamg : 4/7/2021 10:09 pm : link
Randle needs to dish to RJ twice as much as he does
Missed the last couple of games  
bceagle05 : 4/7/2021 10:09 pm : link
and it sounds like I didn’t miss much. At least RJ is continuing to ascend.

Lots of stupid play. We dont just need a talented PG and another scorer, we need smarter players.

Several times Bullock was running around the middle of the floor covering nobody.

Not gonna argue that the strides RJ has made this year are sooo heartening, but these awful fucking turnovers with no one near him in the last 2 minutes of games just has to stop.

He still hasn't played well of late. Quickley hasn't either although he showing signs of breaking out. The backcourt is just a shitshow right now. I don't care who is there it is just the same bullshit. Payton is uselss. I mean that backcourt violation says it all. How dumb was that? Rose just dribbles way too much, doesn't move the ball enough, and puts up these horrible bricks. The ball movement isn't 100% their fault. The other 4 guys just stand still most of the time. And these shitty offensive possessions lead to bad defensive possessions.

And, yes, the stupid on this team is starting to show. Way too much standing around on D and not knowing where guys are. And that Bullock double on Tatum was the epitome of this team post all star break.

This went from a fun and enjoyable team to watch and root for to one that is extremely frustrating every night now. I HATE this offensive system if you can even call it a system.

72 games instead of 82

Elfrid Payton

RJ continues to improve. Tomorrow will be tough vs. Grizz.
Lots of games at home coming up  
nygiants16 : 4/8/2021 8:58 am : link
tough games but not unbeatable teams, teams you habe to beat if you want to go to the playoffs, games against toronto twice, Lakers, Pelicans twice, hornets, Memphis, Chicago..
This team needs a pure point guard  
Jan in DC : 4/8/2021 9:15 am : link
in the worst way. Every offensive possession seems so difficult.

Rose is great, but he's a combo guard. Same with IQ.

Also, I know Thibs wants to win and make it to the playoffs (that doesn't feel all that important to me at this point) but can we stop playing Taj Gibson and Derrick Rose in crunch time? I know that developing young players is a process, but how do we know if they're gamers if we don't let them ball with the game on the line?

I'm talking mostly about Quickley. I love Taj and Rose, but they're not going to be playing meaningful minutes for this team when we're competitive.

what young player do you want in instead of Taj?

I get people want Quickley to play more, i do too, but he is clearly hitting the rookie wall, has not been good for a long stretch, Playing big minutes is not thebonly way to develop players...
I this this team has maxed out it's potential  
Ten Ton Hammer : 4/8/2021 9:19 am : link
at it's current state.

They are terribly limited by lack of a PG. Everyone would be improved by it, even Obi.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/8/2021 9:26 am : link
We need to make a real run @ Lonzo this summer.
They have been giving teams far too many second chances  
steve in ky : 4/8/2021 9:29 am : link
Giving up too many offensive rebounds been killing them and the biggest reason for coming up short.

Look at the last couple close losses

Boston 20 second chance points to the Knicks 7
Nets 26 to the Knicks 2

Especially Obi. A guy that can hit him for open 3s and help him crash the rim would unlock Obi.

Like I said, the comment was more about Quickley than anyone else. Ideally you'd want Obi or Robinson playing those minutes but Obi hasn't earned them and Robinson is injured.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/8/2021 9:53 am : link
Feels like all these recent losses have been really close games where we fall just short. That's bound to happen with a team learning to win. Making the playoffs is still possible obviously, but this year really is about growth & we've seen that from Randle to RJ to the emergence of IQ. Obi is frustrating; he's been a disappointment & really doesn't have a future here long term if we keep Randle.

I think you have 3 starters in Randle, Rj and Mitch..

You have your bench in Rose, Bullock, Burks and Noel or Gibson..

I have a feeling IQ and Toppin will be traded in offseason for a star shooting guard..

If Not Iq right now is another scorer off the bench
RJ  
Jon in NYC : 4/8/2021 9:58 am : link
is shooting 45% from 3 the last 40 games. 40 games is quite a sample size. That's half a season. Wild.
