4th seed is ours with a win!
Boston is resting everyone
Tatum, Fournier, Smart, Thompson, Kemba, and Williams.
Thibs will have them ready and understand what they are playing for.
No injuries and lets celebrate a great season on our home court today!!!
Hey NY WE HERE!

Ties that will need to get broken
4. CLE/OKC
8. ORL (via CHI)/NOP/SAC
11. CHA/SAS (if both lose in play-in)
19. NYK/ATL
21. HOU (via POR)/LAL/NYK (via DAL)
25. LAC/DEN
So the Knicks will get either the 19th or 20th pick, and the 21st, 22nd or 23rd pick
Bitter sweet in a deep draft.
Maybe Josh Giddy at 20?
I want Day'Ron Sharpe with one of those picks. He's an amazing passing C
Its an improvement but is there really that big of a risk difference in 13k vs full capacity with the precautions they have in place (proof of vaccine, negative test) ?
Or is it just for show like a lot of these measures are...
Either way I am pumped they are the 4th seed. What a year. I just hope I can get there without dropping 900 bucks for the worst seat in the house.

Reminds me of a poor man's Adebayo (I mean that as a compliment).

Randle hasn't exactly been Robert Horry at the buzzer but he's been incredible in the 4th quarter all year long. How many huge baskets does this guy hit every night?
It was an older comment sorry if I am late to this but dude...enjoy this.
for anyone else that doesn't suck dick bags it's amazing lol.
Still, this team doesn't have explain a thing for yesterday. They aren't talented or good enough to blow teams out that often. But they are good enough to beat anyone.

Will be available this off season
Got 2 years 60 million left on his deal.
Would Thibs make that trade again?
he was hurt for a bug chunk of this year but came back pretty strong offensively. That's a big salary but he's still very young and has basically his whole prime ahead of him. Can he defend?
Even if he just shows that he would try on D, something he'd have to prove if Thibs signed off on trading for Russell, i'd think he could fit in here rather nicely.
Amazing that the KNicks don't exactly run out a murderers row of defenders yet they lead the league in defense. Their best defender (Mitch and Frank?) don't even play that much.
No idea on D-Lo's defense but Thibs is telling you he'll take a defensive PG who can't actually play on offense before he puts an offense-first PG out there to start.

Seems like teams have started doubling Randle very aggressively in the last few weeks, especially in Q4/crunch time. Doubling him late, as in second defender waits until he starts to make his move before rushing over to double.I think that’s contributed to a perceived drop off in his shot selection and shot making at the end of games
He has done a pretty good job of finding open guys to pass to when that happens...recent wins have been marked by big late baskets by RJ, Burks, Bullock off assists by Randle
I have faith Thibs will have Randle and the rest of the team well prepared for this to continue
Big picture, highlights the need for one more elite scorer for this squad to truly be a title contender...but that’s more of an offseason discussion

Don’t leave out Bullock, he’s been a really good perimeter defender. But generally you’re right, it’s amazing what simply making a commitment to it as a team makes. We can probably count on only one hand the number of times they give up easy baskets bc they don’t hustle back in time

I wonder how they will determine 100% vaccinated people.
Did Thibs make the trade to Minnesota?
19 or 20, and 21 or 22 or 23

good point I forgot about Bullock who has quietly had as good a year we could have hoped for.
Makes sense and not questioning it but just curious where you're hearing this?
Quote:
very likely Bullock is back next season.

Berman reported a few days ago that Thibs "loves" him, called him the teams unsung hero, that he is close with Thibs and Scott Perry and that he would prefer to remain in NY to continue working on his advocacy for transgender issues (his sister was murdered in a hate crime).

Gotcha. Thanks.
Who does defend those guys well? *Maybe* AD? It seems to me that the role of the center in modern defense is more of a rim protector than anything else, and mostly with respect to PnR and drives from wings/guards. Elite post players like Embiid and Jokic are so rare, in part because of the shift to 3ptrs, a defender suited to slowing those guys is hard to find. Gobert is definitely a big time rim protector.
season ticket holders Tuesday.

I also wonder if some people are still hesitstnt to go
As for people not being comfortable, that's a definite possibility. Me on the other hand...I'm ready for a repeat of the Roaring Twenties, Haha.

cmon dude (ny16)..Randle has been dogshit? This team has no shot in the playoffs? Most games are close. The Knicks are 9th in the entire NBA in points differential. IN other words, relax. This is as good as it gets. NExt season when the expectations go full stupid maybe then it would be time to get crazy.

I think this offseason we are going to see Randle and the Knicks work hardest on what to do when he is aggressively doubled on a regular basis. For obvious reasons he's simply never had to deal with any game plan like that against him for his entire career (and few players do until/unless they actually become all-star caliber players).
Guys like Lebron and Steph are MVP caliber players not just because of their scoring ability, but equally as much because of their passing and how they make their teammates better, but the latter skill also COMES in part from being so accustomed to getting double and tripled -teamed; they know how to respond to it-- it has become basically 2nd nature to them, and precisely WHY they're the best is because they know how to take full advantage of the defense and how to immediately get their guys wide open looks in those situations.
To me, Lebron became a phenomenal passer in this league because he HAD TO. He's one of the most naturally-gifted scorers, and when you have that gift what inevitably happens is teams throw multiple guys at you and you NEED to be able to pass the ball well (and think quickly about where the pass is going).
I personally do see Randle having the potential to be an MVP-like facilitator in that regard, as we often have seen flashes of it this year, but he has a ways to go in that department before becoming a LEGIT MVP player and not just "in the discussion." At this point he (and the team) does not always react well to the pressure of a double-team thrown at Randle. To me, the moment the double team comes, you either make your move and take your shot, or make your move and pass the damn ball. You can't indecisively dribble in place and pick up the ball and stay stationary while 2-3 guys start aggressively trying pry the ball out of your hands. I know it's easier said than done, but I'm holding Randle to high standard to get it figured out this offseason-- he clearly has both the natural talent AND the work ethic to develop that aspect of his game more.
He's still the man I think we ought to target this summer. He's a RFA so Pels can match whatever offer he gets.

I have soured on Lonzo a little bit.
IMO save the cap space for the 2022 FA class were there is better talent available.
I don't want to have to give him 3 yrs 60 million.
