Haha EXACTLY
Josh will be fine, eventually.

2) Payne, Deuce and Achiuwa look like a solid handful as the second unit. Sims is better than Huk for now, and looks big, but still worry about him as a primary option.
3) That starting 5 needs to find its identity. Don’t really love the comments from Hart about not knowing his role. Pass, Rebound, Defend, cut to basket, hit open three. Mikal is stressing the shots but he will be ok. There is so much talent in that starting 5 that it might be easy for guys to get a little lost in the shuffle, but I think they will work it out in a few games. Celts / Pacers isn’t the easiest start to the season, but I’m looking for this team to be ready by playoffs, not game 1 or 2.
The same thing happened last season.
Hard worker who keeps his head down and puts in the work, he will always get a chance eventually

I just don't like him with the starters. He's literally the 5th option. I think Precious at the 4 is better. The guy doesn't need shots/touches, he is a bigger body, can defend, and offensive rebound.
We do need rebounding and toughness in the SL so I'd leave Hart in there. Even though he's short, he's still going to get 10 rpg and outrun and outwork every guy he's checking. And we got OG who can check anyone.
But bringing Hart off the bench is fine too. He's still going to get 30 mpg.

Ariel Hukporti… come on down!

So much for Precious starting lol.
But seriously, season didn't even start and we lost two guys that were in the rotation. Wtf!
With Achiuwa out for a bit, makes sense to bring in Marcus morris now. He can play real minutes early in the season.

It already feels like last season. 🤮
If the knicks face injuries woes again, better have them at the beginning of the season than at the end. With a bit more luck than last year, we could finish the season and the playoffs with everyone healthy.

Right! They are just getting the injuries out of the way early in the season instead of late. Good planning
knock knock, who's there?
knick Knox....
knick Knox who?
No,Knox Knocks Knick? Eh?
GSW Nix Knox knocks, that's who.
Big difference between Precious and Robinson out then PG and KP. Shamet being out opens up time for Kolek and Precious means more Dadiet, Hukporti, and Sims.
I have been reading that Bridges has tried to change his shot motion. I'm more worried about that and the Knicks shooting woes.
I like how Josh isn't afraid to talk to the media, maybe putting McBride in as the starter is the way to go.
