Back within 1. Haven't been able to get over that hurdle and take the lead.

Bridges shot form right now
JesseDark@ 10/18/2024 8:37 PM
Bridges in #25 reminds me of Bill Cartwright. They have a similar shooting motion.
MaTT4281@ 10/18/2024 8:43 PM
Guys are rusty. Shooting isn't there yet. New teammates still trying to find chemistry.
But watching KAT drive to the rim...man this group is going to look so fluid when it finds it's rhythm.

I’m thinking Knicks starters went out last night and got a little krunchy
DLeethal@ 10/18/2024 8:49 PM
I haven’t watched much Bridges over the years but I’m not loving him trying to be Donte. Quick trigger 3 bombs off movement doesn’t seem like it should be how he tries to get offense.

Bridges jumper doesn’t look smooth at all.
Clean@ 10/18/2024 8:56 PM
These shots are going to fall sooner or later.
Rookie@ 10/18/2024 8:57 PM
Hot takes - starters
Brunson and Towns are going to be lethal. Towns/This going to need to develop that rim protection.
Bridges is a mess right now, Hart won’t even try and score. It’s going to take a minute but these guys are to good not to figure it out.
OG is going to have a breakout year

Glad to see Butler is healthy and playing. Was a fan of his coming out of college.
DLeethal@ 10/18/2024 8:58 PM
I like OG and just a floor spacer but to me Mikal needs to be more like RJ was as third option. Put the ball on the floor and iso … don’t try to be a gunner.
Clean@ 10/18/2024 8:59 PM
Kolek passes a little too much on his drives.

He's been comfortable taking those shots in the past. Just needs to find a rhythm. He's threat from three, but I wouldn't call him pure. He's streaky.

I always wondered what Thibs could have done with a young Kevin Knox. Dadiet is kind of that experiment in my eyes.

I guess. I’d rather see him take the good ones and put the ball on the floor to get a bucket instead of shooting off balance contested ones like he’s Donte or Steph.

I think a key difference is that Dadiet had to earn his minutes as a pro. Knox just seemed to run and gun his one season in college. That Kentucky team seemed to have very little offensive structure.

I love Pacome cuts.

Yeah, agree. He'll never be Donte from out there. I'd like to see more mid post action for Bridges.

I think Kevin Knox turns out way different if Thibs coached him instead of Fizdale. I’m excited to see what he can do with Pacome.

Yep. I don't ever see him being a high frequency creator in iso. But his movement will always have to be accounted for.
