He has confidence lol

What he doesn’t have is legs and conditioning for the nba speed.

I’ve played in rec leagues and nba player leagues and it’s a different game. Had nothing to do with my confidence. Intimidation more than anything. Something he’ll get over with experience like tonight.

Watch how wright come in and help turn this around. Not because he’s better but more experienced.

I was laughing at fans on twitter rushing to defend Thibs because a rookie who has less than 60 to 80 minutes non garbage minutes in the NBA is having a hard time going against starters. There is no brain on social media. Once Payne went down now that puts Kolek in a tough situation. Him vs other benches he should be fine at this experiece level but him vs starters is not good.

Bright side- Lakers are up 3 against the Pacers.

I hope Thibs waves the white flag early. These injuries are killing us slowly. Cam was rolling. Kolek not ready for starter mins. Hard to come in from the g league and jump into starter mins.

On another note, we need to cut PJ and sign another PG. We are way too thin at PG now that Cam is also hurt.
NYKBocker @ 3/26/2025 9:37 PM
Kolek hurt?
WP76 @ 3/26/2025 9:40 PM
Seems like LA has scored at least 20 points on offensive putback points.
franco12 @ 3/26/2025 9:45 PM
So the West Coast teams are just so much better than the East.
franco12 @ 3/26/2025 9:45 PM
Take the starters out?

I mean we are missing our best player. But, yeah, I'd say the the West is probably deeper 1-10.

Nah
That’s Thibs protecting his confidence

VDesai @ 3/26/2025 9:52 PM
24 mins of backup PGs scoring 0 pts

Damion Baugh might've been nice right now. He's putting in some work for Charlotte

Sign Frank to a 10 day contract

I freaking hate Harden but the injuries caught up. Knicks have 3 point guards including their superstar face of the franchise/face of the nba out.
Clean @ 3/26/2025 10:01 PM
Hopefully Kolek getting a taste of how it is to start in the NBA makes it so he can speed up his learning a bit. I hate to rush him but with these injuries we have no choice.

The way harden and Leonard was shooting, there’s nothing JB could do. He would’ve did too much and hurt the other ankle.

We are no worse than 4th place which is fine. Team too fragile to win it all. Just good playoff experience.
