Bogs’ impact seems a little too Fournier-esque for my liking.
But I’m hopeful that he proves me wrong.
Valanciunas’ beard game is strong.
Because he is being forced to do more than he is used to with the team short-handed. And unless EF is playing a former team, he couldn't create nor even make a basket when needed this year as a Knick.

MIngram is a nice player.

Is crazy how people can't grasp this simple concept lol. I have given up. Both new guys roles are to hit open shots from Randle and Brunson. Well injuries has forced them to do more than what was expected.

Sorry I’m a moron.
Yeah, lets play the remaining healthy NBA talent on this team 40 or more down 19pts on the 2nd of a back to back, Thibs is a problem.
Gotta get healthy. (Captain Obvious here)
we have roster spots. We need to sign a ball handler because Burks should never play PG.

Ish Smith's, John Wall, Michael Carter Williams, Corey Joseph and Frank are still available
Oh I forgot about George Hill.

I agree, not the best names but someone has to be better than point Burks.
Fun Fact - we are 2 games ahead of 8th place.

Sims is -18, how is that helping the team over a scorer or a scorer who can play defense? Ugh, and Burks has plain sucked.
He was horrible - always a step too late to contest. Hard to believe how many guys shoot layups right in his face.
We looked way better (not counting last minutes when we were just toast) when Precious was only big.
Burks needs to play with some guys that can create action and get him some easy open looks —— kid is choking big time right now.
Burks primary hope might be Julius who can at least draw a double and kick out.
Burks looks scared on court —- he’s better than this ——— need him to snap out of this.
By the way Grimes 0-5 tonight with 0 points in 10 point Piston win ——- so we didn’t trade A stud (regardless of last night) and we;d all be bitching about him if he were here.

The D is SKETCH but this dude can shoot the ball (20 tonight) with a few nice dishes. Needs to stay under control and we need to surround him with 2-3 defenders. He isn’t afraid like Burks looks right now,

He leaves me wanting more —- seems mostly disinterested, settles for toughest shot possible —— don’t see any impact defensively BUT don’t watch these guys much.

You’re not Todd - being asked to do more isn’t an excuse for dumb basketball and crap defense.
I think these guys may come up clutch at some point in big games but some of their poor play isn’t simply due to being asked to do to much. Burks was doing a bunch on Detroit but no pressure there —— PRESSURE is heavy right now with Knicks and they have not calmed down yet.

Yes and teams like kings at home losing by ~20 to Heat who were missing most of roster isn’t helping.
Duncan Robinson shot 1-11 last night and I think was a+24 against Kings.

they hung tight then were gassed in the 4th qt didnt expect it to be close in the third.
Burks has been awful. He had a great month of January for Detroit, but he is back to being as shitty as he was in December. The hope is he could create his own offense and his 3 pt shooting and gat game have been terrible. When OG and Randle come back I would not necessarily give him a rotation spot. McBride's defense brings more as Brunson's backup and Achiuwa should be be backup 4, meaning Hart gets more wing mins off the bench so no room for Burks.
Bogdonavic is limited on D, but he has been active. You can see how with the better floor spacing Randle provides that he could really be a wea
Could have lost by 50 and we couldn't be upset. No team can win without 5 of their best players that includes two All-Stars.
I'm concerned. Especially with Brunson. Immediately thought of Daniel Jones (I know different sport) when I saw it was his neck. Clearly a product of him getting knocked around and taking charges every game. Fingers crossed it's nothing serious. They all need to be smart and don't force it. Even if it means we drop in the standings. Priority needs to be to be as healthy as possible for the playoffs. Seeding won't matter if we're injured.
Must say Zion is impressive. Amazing what he can do at his size. He'd be a top 10 player if he ever took his profession seriously.
