9) I honestly don’t remember Grimes scoring so many points. Will have to re watch.
10) Miami is next. Then, we rest.
Joyful JuJu
This Ju is all NBA. Gonna be hard to close out this year. But if he plays like this all season next year? All NBA. He has the capability to average a triple double on this team.
So you’re saying his value is pretty high right now…
So when Knicks are down, Nalod don’t bash. LOok for brightness.
When knicks lose to a bad team, and its gonna happen, remember its the NBA and anyteam can beat another. It happens.
We a very good team and beat the champs. WE got them on a down night. It was fun.
This team has a good vibe. We keep losing centers and get better? LOL!!!
The ball movement and team is playing loose and having fun.
Mikal bridges? WE don’t need all the Villinova guys. We got the disregarded ones that are playing up!!!!
Randles kid on the bench. Priceless.
Im loving his new chill attitude and not crying. He is still evolving.
I’d be hating trading RJ but kicks winning and OG doing great things makes it all easy.
Miami in a funk. Funk them.
Im enjoying this season. Where it goes? Its a journey. The future will take care of itself.

Let’s just say he is playing well and didn’t lose an easy game going for 72.

No one plays with more confidence than grimes when the Knicks are up big.
He's just built different.
How on earth did DVO shoot 4-for-5 from 3pt and 5-for-10 overall?
This dude from Texas reppin' the Knicks harder then so-called New York native Stephen A. Smith.

SAS is trash. Perk tells it like it is. SAS thinks he is bigger than the Knicks. Perk loves the game. Cancel SAS. Give Perk a pedestal.
Team blew out the Champs !!! Most fun game of the year for it's sheer lopsided out of no where win without our two front line centers. Which leads me to my stat of the night - team won big with our two centers combining for 4 points. We are not going to likely keep Hartenstein and Mitch next season. So this deadline I could see the deadline moving Mitch or I Heart in a trade for a forward or a wing. But more likely in the off-season both won't be back. We love our players but don't get attached. Centers really are like NFL running backs, not the position to invest a huge part of the cap on. Not saying we role with Precious and Simms but I don't Leon pays I Hart what he can get maybe on the open market. Unless other teams see his current injury and the potential salary he can get and pass on him and then only then the team can sign him to the amount the team is willing to pay. I won't lie I Hart and Mitch would be a great tandem to have of the salary for I Hart works. But I'm prepared to see him go.

Yes, Grimes shines in garbage time. But those were nice takes to the rim. High difficulty shots. I get the feeling we would have seen this part of his game sooner, if Grimes had stayed on the bench for another season or two.
Might end up being a late bloomer on another team. Dont believe his game has flatlined like Frank.

If he gets 6 steals a game that will be easy…

he's perplexing b/c he plays with such confidence and aggression in garbage time and even finishes at the rim. Makes you want to believe but then I remember Obi used to average 30 in April games.

Just keep in mind how his high school to college career went. I see a ton of kids like this, they are slow adjusters. But when they settle in, they shine as they should IF the talent is there and things work.
Grimes could fail but I still see it for him when he gets over his mental hump
How does Deuce go from 3point shooting Ntilikina to 3point shooting Steph Curry?

end of day I'm not trading or benching Grimes for anyone that isn't a long term piece. I mean he's averaging 9.2ppg since the day in just 18mpg. granted inflated by blowouts but it took 2.5 years for it to CLICK for IQ and for the game to slow down so I'm not out on Grimes just yet.

his shot has been amazing really. Major props to him, he's not just taking easy ones either, he regularly creates off head fakes.
he's another one, 8.6ppg last 13 games in just 16mpg, he's basically replaced IQ's offense on a per min basis while being more efficient and better on D.

100% same.
I am officially off the Dejounte trade train in lieu of keeping Grimes and going another route to upgrade.
