Knicks · Game Day Thread: New York Knicks @ Toronto (1st game of the 2022 New Year), January 2nd @ 3:30 PM). (page 1)

NYKMentality @ 1/1/2022 5:09 PM
PG: No Derrick Rose.
PG: No Kemba Walker.
PF: No Julius Randle.
PF/C: No Nerlens Noel.
C: No Mitchell Robinson.

Man oh man. We're depleted for this game @ Toronto.

Don’t worry, we’ll win.

I hope so man.

Loses will happen but it's just important to bounce back after those loses with a win the following game.

A win @ Toronto would make it 3-1 on this 4 game road trip (and 4-1 previous 5 games).

C: Obi Toppin.
PF: R.J. Barrett.
SF: Quentin Grimes.
SG: Immanuel Quickley.
PG: Deuce McBride.

With no Mitch and no Randle, it might be time to go small ball with this starting 5

(That lineup would become the 1st time in Franchise history that NY has started 5 homegrown drafted players during a single game).

This a fact or a high probability?

I got 2 facts. Thibs loves Taj. And Taj plays center. With Taj at center, that’s another version of small ball, especially since thibs has played Taj at PF several times. I think Taj and Burks needs to carry this team with effort and energy. If these 2 have a big game, we win.

Look for Thibs to make adjustments for our young ones. Kids will play better.

Thinking:
Taj
Obi
RJ
Burks
IQ

But do not care who is in there. As long as they are playing well and we get the win.

No Mitch so the raps will be able to drive into the paint at will. No Kemba so no dribble penetration


Lovely

Like I said before, knee problems for someone with chronic knee issues is always a cause for concern. We are still signing guards with how depleted our bigs are.

Jets on one TV.

Knicks soon to be on the other.

Hopefully our young Knicks ball out like ZACH WILSON is balling right now!

Just like the way scrubs magically find their three point shots against the Knicks. It's kind of like a variation of that famous line in "Rounders." If you can't spot the trash team 30 mins into looking at the remaining schedule, then you are the trash team.

I wouldn't call Ryan good, but they could've done a lot worse.

Villanova players are well schooled on the fundamentals....He won't hurt us if he gets a few minutes.

Hope see some pick n rolls with Obi....
