IQ & Deuce just have that off ball defender feel, so nice

ToddTT @ 2/5/2023 9:11 PM
JB with only 21 points. Pitiful.

Ar e we witnessing the emergence of Deuce McBride? Or is it a tease?
martin @ 2/5/2023 9:12 PM
Yes ma’am

Just need to work on not panicking at the end, we did it again tonight.


I don't recall ever being as fearful of the Knicks inbounding the ball in tight games as I am now.

It's like a nightmare where you see danger coming at you but can't move your feet to get away.

Randle played so well in 4th, perfect blend of shots and getting others shots

Not only inbounding, but getting over half court too

Man I hope so. He looks silky smooth the last few games. I thought every 3 was going in. I think he felt the same and that’s progress

Tough team to watch...We aren't pretty and, as you say, we are inconsistent, but our guys play hard, even if we don't always play smart.

must be something wrong with the plus/minus- no way our starters could all be negative and the bench players have a plus rating like +28 for Fournier who plays no defense.

It’s like the dream where Godzilla is coming and your running in place

Knicks have literally struck gold in the 2021 draft

Grimes, Rokas, Deuce, Sims

Ira @ 2/5/2023 9:21 PM
Hartenstein is playing much better lately.
martin @ 2/5/2023 9:23 PM
Fournier raising some positive 2023 trade deadline awareness

His success will be determined by a combination of his own confidence to play as if he belongs, and the confidence our veterans feel in getting him the ball when he's in position & not shut him out.

A big advantage for Deuce is that he plays tough D and likes to move the ball around, though I'd like to see him drive more and look for the pull-up midrange shot, like JB does.

I think he's for real...not sure how good he will be, but I'd like to see him get at least 15m/game.

Isn't that the draft where some lost their minds because we traded the rights to Kai Jones and then didn't take Sharife Cooper? Not to mention we didn't tank?
franco12 @ 2/5/2023 9:28 PM
2nd unit looked so much better without RJ!

EF has struggled with his shot the past several games- and he finally started to hit tonight. He's been sitting on the bench for basically the entire season.
