NFT: Knicks chat: More changes?

But got we are horrific on fast breaks. I mean every other team in the league a 2 or 3 on 1 is a dunk or a lay-up. For us it's a horror show.

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

.

Burks and Rj had it going in the first half, so he rebounded and dished..

2nd half needed some of his scoring amd he took over, took what the d gave him..

Great pass to Rj on that play

Great game for RJ

15/7/8 and a block and a steal

Maybe we should give up playing at MSG this year.

Glorious.

Easy win

Obviously he's not always going to be that hot from 3, but we need more performances like this.

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?

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

energy was good all game, no real lapses

I think it's mostly the defense.

Expanded roles for IQ and Burks appear to me coming at Fournier’s expense.

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.

Kid was due. Hopefully he can give us some consistency and keep playing like that.

said he hasnt been able to get into the gym as much, wonder if that contributed to his slump? Some thought he was hurt, maybe it was just him sick

Musical chairs continues at center.
