I know Evan will start but i hope Thibs put him in a short leash. The knicks is getting a bargain in Evans contract, the knicks basically got two players for him. A good one and a bad one 😜. I hope if the bad Evan shows up in this game Thibs won't think twiceto sub him out and hopefully give Cam some time to get in the flow of the game.

Kind of a must win game considering we have the road trip from hell coming up.

Not expecting many minutes from Cam this afternoon. Thibs is a creature of habit so not sure who will lose minutes in order to give Cam a few....

Looks like Burks back at the point. Still not sure where Cam picks up minutes. Thibs typically plays his starters 30 plus mins unless Evan goes ice-cold.

Well, Kemba is out, so there are THOSE minutes.

I wouldn't mind to see Cam Reddish take all of Evan Fournier's minutes and for us to never have to see Evan Fournier play again.
We all understand his defensive short-comings but Evan has been averaging 18 pts per over the last 7 games....

Stats can be misleading. That fluke ass Boston game is making his numbers look way better than they are.
Look at some of his bad games during just the last 10 games alone.
0 points vs. Indiana (0/4 shooting). 3 points @ OKC (1/8 shooting). 6 points vs. Charlotte (2/9 shooting). 6 points vs. Pelicans (2/8 shooting).
And his Defense is atrocious. I created a thread weeks ago on Evan Fournier has single handedly ruined our Knicks identity from last year and it's true.

That's a lot of cherry picking stats. I can do that too. In his last 7 games:
27 points on 10-17 (5-10 from downtown!) 18 points on 7-13 (4-8 from downtown!) 13 points on 5-9 (2-4 from downtown!) 18 points on 5-12 (4-7 from downtown!) 41 points on 15-25 (10-14 from downtown!!!!!!)

You know who REALLY single handedly ruined OUR Knicks identity from last year: Julius Randle and the weak minded fool is too scared and immature to even talk to the press. I'll create a thread on that later and it'll be full of Boo'ing.
And you know whose defense is really really atrocious: Randle's

NYKMentality, do you see how silly your argument is?

our defense hasn't been the same since Mike Woodson left for IU

Are you sure that you are not talking about Randle’s numbers and Randle’s play because his numbers are bad and his D is bad. Please ship Randle off to Mars so I never have to see him put on a Knicks uniform again
martin@ 1/23/2022 12:52 PM
Man I hope we can see some minutes from this guy

And how much has Randle average over that same period? Everybody can’t score 30. Somebody has to play a role of the playmaker or passer. And that’s part of the problem. We have guys that are great at scoring and that’s it. When forced to do anything else they look average or below. U think the Knicks paid Randle to score 2 pts and pass to EF all game? You think Knicks will give RJ a huge contract to open passing lanes for EF? This is what I mean by flawed. Somebody has to play a role that doesn’t include scoring, but impacts the game and only Mitch is doing that in the starting lineup.
Hence we fall behind and the bench tries to save us. It’s a broken record.

Last 7 games for Randle:
14 pts, 35% fg, 21% 3pt fg & 9 rbs....
I understand the point you are making. I responded to NYK the way I did because Evan is his whipping boy while he let's Randle off the hook...
