He makes me not even want to watch Knicks basketball anymore.

I love coach Thibs but if Thibs doesn't completely remove EF from his rotation? I'll lose all the respect I've ever had for him.

Our identity is gone because of Evan Fournier.

EF is not playing well. "Single-handedly"? More like the scapegoat. Facts are:

Randle 2020 41% from 3pt 47% from 2pt 24ppg / 2021 34% from 3pt, 46% from 2pt, 19ppg
Rj 2020 40,45,17 / 2021 35,43,15
Burks 2020 41,42/12 / 2021 39,39,11
IQ 2020 39,40,11 / 2021 32,37,10 (In more minutes per game)
Rose 2020 41,50,15 / 2021 40,47,12

EF averages 38,50,14 for his career. What did you expect?

Not making an excuse for him but just pointing out A) the entire team is responsible. B) Expectations should have been managed.

Funny how you're leaving out Evan Fournier trash ass Defensive stats.

Yes. Evan Fournier has single handedly ruined the identity of our starting 5.

With the exception of Obi, our rotation players have all regressed from last season. First it was Kemba, now Fournier is the blame-flava of the month.

Did you read my post? Not defending his play. Just pointing out the blame is widesread.

Fyi. During the losing streak, EF is shooting 30% from three!! terrible. Do you want to know what IQ and Burks are shooting in the same span? Hint: Not nearly that high.

There are inanimate objects that can defend the pick and roll better than EF

Completely forgot about that

Yeah but our defense is sooooooo much better

Yep, they are blaming it on the ball change. Also, the hand check rule is allowed, along with some physical play. So new ball and new rules will definitely impact shooting percentages. On top of that, EF was trying to fit in and play off of Randle, which is not an easy thing to do. Randle is very unorthodox. Hard to see where his passes are coming from, when he wants to pass and when he's going into bully ball.

I think EF will turn his season around and this covid protocol is helping him.

It's the defensive end of the floor where Evan Fournier is drop dead dreadful.

He's absolutely useless on Defense and is a liability/weak like every single Defensive possession.

He should be coming off the bench and shouldn't sniff playing time with our starters.

Taking it down a notch from single-handedly ruining and destroying I see.

We were the #1 D last year.

He's completely ruined and destroyed our Defensive identity.
