Apathy is at an all time high. The team sucks. They play a boring style of basketball. They don't play most of the young players enough so we have no hope to see a glimpse of the future. The major exception is RJ. He has really exceeded my expectations. Hopefully he can keep it going. He is about the only good thing we have going right now.

I’m not even sure why but I left the post game on in the background. Up next, Julius Randle’s comments. Yeah, I immediately turned the TV off.

The performance the Knicks been putting out on the court since the month of November. has a record of 25-36. How bad would our record be if we gave rookie PG-Deuce McBride 18 minute of playing time in 10 straight games? It probably would not be as bad as we got now (The only reason why I took a liken to all the Knicks rookies are all three showed they learn fast in their games in the summer league games. It's a shame, and BAD coaching why rookie McBride never received consistent playing time in 3 straight games this season. Not even in the Preseason games. Let us fans see more than garbage-time from a player. Plus most fans start changing the channel or leaving the stadium the final 5 min of the 2021-22 Knicks game.

I thought it was only me. I stopped watching some time ago, around New Year's. Have no interest watching Burks, Randle and company stink it up. Better luck next year ? Maybe

Every game plays out exactly the same because Thibs refuses to change anything unless he's forced to- there's nothing left to say now, we're just stuck in Thibs time loop, it's beyond tedious to watch or even discuss anymore.

You have just explained it way better than I ever could have. The Thibs time loop is exactly what we are in. Every game is the same. Every time he coaches a new team it is the same. They do well then he burns them out and refuses to change or adjust until he is fired. That article on him from his time coaching the Wolves was the last straw from me because everything in that article mirror our situation now. We just got lucky he is not the GM. If he was the GM Miles, Obi and Grimes would have been sent packing for someone like Eric Gordon.

It's gotten so bad, this song plays in in my mind while watching the 3rd/4th quarter

I refuse to believe Deuce who dominates the G League and outplayed Cade Cunningham in college cannot get 15 minutes on a 25-37 team with no PG.
I still believe in Thibs but this shit annoys me! Why not try Deuce for a week? Not saying start him and play 30 mpg but why not bring him off the bench for 15 mpg? If it doesn't work and he's right that he's horrible, he can always go back to his Burks!

coach does not beleive he will lose every game like fans do after a loss. I’ll take a stab. Deuce is good enough to be the alpha on the Gleague. But as 4th option he might still lack the skills to manage when to be aggressive and when not. If hesitant it throws up the already not so great timing.
If a team can jump out to a lead with burks that coach believes they can win. Fans don’t agree. The result is the game is lost. Media puts ideas in fans heads and even announcers on ESPN were all like “i can see why fans are enthusiastic about reddish’s potential. Media knows what we about.
We don’t read about OBI being robbed of minutes anymore? Grimes got in the rotation, so that was a dead story. with him out, reddish is getting his and looks good
We got guys harping for deuce who profess to not be watching games anymore? Too bad. Box score tells a lot but not the whole story. IQ is looking incrementally better and more comfortable. Funny to see him and Maxey. Visually they are similar. Maxy better defender. It was said that his game really opened up with Harden. chemistry matters and Harden draws defenders.
Speaking of Harden, on paper nets did really good but seen him again and its amazing how fast he dropped the weight and his movement improved. Thats a very potent pairing with Embiid they got and underrated Harris. Im not sure their depth will be enough to carry them but they will be a handful if healthy.
Always an IF

The bold could definitely be the case. He even talks about having more freedom in the G League to control the game as opposed to the NBA in his recent interview. Where that argument falls apart is then that means he needs more time in the NBA to learn how how to excel in that role. Going back to the G League is not going to help because no matter how many times you send him down he will not learn what you specified since he is the best player in the G League. So you might not notice but what you are saying is Thibs will just skip this year for developing McBride since he won't give him time to work on the issue you specified.
