Lillard is out

Blazers:Damian Lillard, Keon Johnson, Gary Payton II and Greg Brown III are out.
Knicks: Cam Reddish, Mitchell Robinson and Derrick Rose are questionable.
6 of the Knicks next 7 games will be played on their home floor:
vs POR
vs MEM
@ DET
vs MIL
vs DAL
vs CLE
vs ATL
Will be interesting if Cam and Rose are back, how Thibs uses the rotation

Ok thanks

We blew a huge second half lead to him and a bunch of G-Leaguers on Portland's tank squad. Should be an entertaining game at least.

Brunson
Grimes
RJ
Julius
Mitch.
Cam Reddish and Derrick Roseare both OUT.

OK with that starting 5. LGK!

Would hate if they traded him

treating Jerami Grant like Jordan...Meanwhile the Knicka getting mugged

..

Good.

Something needs to change

That, and the coach

and you forcing Hartenstein to run around the perimiter, its just stubborn coaching, go small, you are getting in trouble because you refuse to adjust

Rj gonna show up....

but not in Thibs plans so as usual no flexibility to react to what you are seeing on the floor.

When Thibs stops running him into the ground

Yep. It all went to shit when Randle came in. Like clockwork.

Billups shoes.

Thibs and Randle ate just awful

Grant is getting fouled non-stop (some of the calls are bullshit, but what else is new with NBA refs?) and Hart is just dominating the boards.


Can we fire Thibs yet and trade Randle's ass to Siberia?

Can he play over Hartenstein now?

Goddammit

EVERY FUCKING TIME

Josh Hart is 6'4, right? HOW THE FUCK DOES HE GET 17 REBOUNDS????

.

Grimes and Sims need to be on the floor.

Sims, yes

Grimes , not so much

Explain that one to me, Lucy

And fuck Randle

Fuck Thibs. Biggest sack of shit coach I've ever seen.

And RJ blows chunks. If he shoots above 40% from the field it's a good night. Enough.

Aside from Brunson, Sims, and Reddish (when he's healthy), this team sucks donkey balls.

.

Might simply not be that smart of a basketball player.

officiated games i have ever seen, Simons just shoved Brunson out of bounds and the refs called nothing

And two of (what should be) their best players - Randle and RJ - are two of the dumbest players I’ve ever watched.

And I’m sick of seeing Randles dumb face on TV.

trade. This really isn't fun. There's only so much I can watch RJ shoot bricks...and he plays more than anyone. And Randle's slow, lazy ass is just painful to watch. Mitch is a fucking stupid player.

I can go on and on, but this is really not fun. This team is spiraling down the porcelain throne pretty quickly. I blame Leon Rose's fat ass, but Dolan's obviously not gonna get rid of him, so I'll just take Thibs' head on a platter, while trading away Randle and Fournier.

but our best perimeter defender Grimes doesn't play down the stretch. What did quickley do for you in overtime? nothing. You could'nt defend the other team yet you leave your best perimeter defender on the bench. Why? because he is not in the group the coach finishes games with. Please show Thibs the door.

The Mitchell trade... what could of been
The subsequent RJ extension
The Robinson extension
Not trading Randle after two years ago
Trading our lottery pick just so we Leon Rose could cover up his mistakes of signing Kemba Walker and Nerlens Noel



More of the same for the Knicks. Stupid executive decisions.

can't be on the floor at the end. Done with this Coach and his inflexibility

he caters to Randle for some unknown reason..

Blazers going on a run in the 2nd, killing the big in the pick and roll, does he call timeout and make an adjustment? nope just keeps to his regularly scheduled rotation..

Takes Sims out for some unknown reason in the OT for Mitch who looks like he cant move..

Plays Ihart way to many minutes when he cant move..

The ball should be in Brunsons hands every time down in close games, instead we get pull up 3s from Randle in OT and Rj driving into no mans land..

Rj has absokutely zero midrange, he cant pull up and take a shot, he beats his man but has to go all the way to the rim because he cant shoot

To finish it should of been Brunson, Quick, Grimes, Randle, Sims

I'm sure it'd be lower if it wasn't for that anomaly game against the Thunder. And yet he still gets the most minutes out of every Knick.


Also, his 3PT percentage has got to be terrible. He's a poor shooter from behind the arc.

Could've done without Randle's lazy ass too. He basically dared Simons to shoot the three in OT and it blew up in his face.

He has no midrange, so when he drives and has a wideopen pull up he cant take advantage and instead has to go all the way to the rim..

dude plays so hard and puts this team on his back in crunch time..

Couls really do without Thibs, Randle, Rj, Fournier
