Happy birthday!

love it, they can get out and run and attack, floor is spaced..fun to watch

.

The potential offense from this second unit is pretty good!

and it didn't cost anything

already has a steal

.

.

Cam still making some dumb plays

..

.

Nasty move

Getting hot.

That Brunson is doing exactly what he is known to do.

Best player on the floor

Brunson is going to be an all star, he is just controlling the game, never out of control, effecient..

Knicks would be fine if they traded Randle and Fournier..

Randle is a cancer on this team. I think we may need to bite the bullet and attach picks.

Just dont need him, what is his value if he is not dominating the ball? he is not going to defend, his jumoer is so-so, he is a glorified rebounder on this team..

Too many players. Need that star. 3 for 1 type of deal . Players will bitch cause of minutes esp if we are losing.

Done for the night sprained ankle)

Randle 0 turnovers.

Welp, that didn’t take long…

Sounds like Randle stopped bricking it. When he's good, he can dominate. Just not sure he has the head for it.

Brunson 16 and 5 7/9 shooting

RJ 21 5 and 2 8/14 shooting

Randle 15 6 and 4 6/10 shooting

Not bad and very good effeciency

I like Deuce, it's not clear to me that IQ is better than him. Different players of course.

Brunson was awesome

which they probably will, Tonight is the type of game you want to see, effecient, rarely dominated the ball, deferred to Brunson, took good shots in flow of the offense..Rebounded and played defense..Thats what you wanted to see..

Having said that i would still trade him..

I think Fournier gets dealt before the season starts, he sticks out like a sore thumb

Issue is of course that Randle still sits at the key posting up. will cost us all year. Trade him and play Toppin!

.

Team passed well tonight. Lots of assists.

In a game since 1/6. ( just a fun fact)

Isn't Randle the teams best rebounder?

strongest player on the court and always sits at the 3 point line. never cuts and never posts. he is a detriment. they have real pieces. he needs to be traded so the ball moves consistently

Move the ball, play team basketball. Every night isn't going to look like this, obviously. However, we don't need a star to be competitive. Moving the ball on offense is so simple yet so few teams do it. Just getting your hands on the ball makes a world of difference in a player's game. They are more invloved and more focused. Defensive intensity picks up. I had 0 complaints about Randle today. It wS fun seeing basically everyone produce. The ball was barely stagnant. On defense they were sloppy but that is to be expected. It wasn't really a lack of effort as it was just getting to know your teammates. The rotations were off so there is a lot of work to be done there but there were also a great deal amount of blocks, steals, and hands on the basketball. The only thing to worry about after this game is Thibs' health. He looks like he gave up on life.

Maybe it is killing him to coach the team as you wish... :-)

Seriously, just a preseason game but they looked pretty good tonight.

last night.

last night.

McBride played more than the minutes I will post but I am pretty sure he got his 6th steal after like 18 min of playing time. That's just fuckin nuts.

what a great way to start off the new NBA year. It was really a lot of fun.

all year. He played within the flow of the game, didnt look to dominate the ball or force the issue.

Jaden Ivey was pretty damn impressive, kid looks like he’s going to be a legit scorer.

in extended minutes last year.

I'm cold on Quickley. I'd easily send him out in a package.

for McBride. Where is his path to playing this season? Especially if they really are unwilling to trade Rose.

I am on the other side with IQ. I think he's the best of the trio or at least the safest pick of the trio (Obi, Grimes and IQ) but I can see why people are a little weary since he's a streaky player. To me he's kid that has done the most in the biggest of spots, that doesn't mean he's going to be a legit star/rotational player on a good team but if I am betting, it's on IQ. I'd trade him but only in a no brainer package. Curious to see how he does in year 3 with more backcourt help around him.

What is McBRide? Is he more a 2 or can he play 3?

The guy I want to move is Fournier but he's the only pure shooting guard we have really, unless Grimes is that guy.

Is McBride more a 3? SO many of these 2-3s....really wish we did a 2 or 3 for 1 move.

?

There seems to be some confusion about this. McBride is definitely not a 3. He's 6'1". Perhaps the question was intended to be about Grimes.
