feels like he's a freakin 70% 3 point shooter this year. I know he's not but seriously when I see him pull up from behind the arc I just expect it to go in at this point.
as in why he isn't at least coming off the bench for even just SOME minutes? It's weird to me that he went from starting to just zero minutes. I was all for benching him for Burks but I just don't see why you wouldn't put him out there against the other teams bench just to get some buckets.
Do you think Thibs is literally just like "nope, can't play good enough defense to deserve to be on the floor." Is it that simple?
Do you think this is punishment for anything that maybe Thibs and the team are keeping under wraps?
Is there something we don't know about his health that they don't want to showcase because they want to be able to move him in a coming trade they are planning?
I'm down for any and all conspiracy theories you guys can come up with lol
Am I overthinking this?
btw I wasn't able to watch every minute of the game tonight
one question: did it look like we had good energy/intensity for all 48 minutes tonight? Any short stretches of lapse in energy like we typically have (even in wins)?
I've been curious to see how the team would respond after the 3 game losing streak because A LOT of people have specifically been calling out the Knicks for their lack of energy and lazy defense. Was hoping certain guys heard that.

I just think its hard to play him, rose and quick off the bench together..
If Thibs went with Quick or Rose to start, i think Kemba would be coming off the bench

was not the 3s, not the 11 for 20, it was thr passes he made when the defense collapsed, he hit shooterd for a few wide open 3s..That is the part of Rjs game that i want to see evolve..
My issue with Rj will always be when he forces, if he misses a good shot, i have no problems, its bad shots i dont like
mentioned that the +/- with Kemba on the floor is historically bad. Like over -100 bad. Even if it's not a great stat, that sort of thing is hard to ignore.

why the hell do these guys just suddenly become physically incapable of missing when they play us? What is happening? is it our D or just bad luck?
It has always happened, as long as i can remember, i remember on realgm they used to do predictions on scrub of the night for the other team
He really has. Thank god for Mitch tonight.
He lost weight and looks like a new man. 7 offensive boards. Almost a double double already
Randle and Fournier haven't done anything yet.
jjst like 12 point lead down to 5
stop going right at poetle please
Yeah that's really careless. In You could end a guy's season on a play like that.
I want to say these are growing pains for RJ. But idk. He looks sloppy too often when he's forced to make a play.
Knicks dont have the most athletic players on their team, a lot of them are slow and methodical, not many lobs on fast breaks
2nd half needed some of his scoring amd he took over, took what the d gave him..
Great pass to Rj on that play
