I think its time for extended Garbage time please

Hope we get to see Deuce and Wright off the bench together with Mitch, for their defense. Could be useful in the playoffs

Hawks take Trae out.

Thibs doesn't know what you mean. They can rest a week after the last game of the regular season.

VDesai @ 4/5/2025 5:10 PM
Knicks playing sloppy even without the bench guys in. Come on Thibs bring in Marjon!
VDesai @ 4/5/2025 5:12 PM
Hart needs one more board for 10 for the year
VDesai @ 4/5/2025 5:13 PM
Knicks have been playing just putrid basketball over the last 6 or 7 min.
VDesai @ 4/5/2025 5:16 PM
Well an easy one to finish. At least they didnt use a lot of energy!
VDesai @ 4/5/2025 5:18 PM
We were shooting like 68 pct and then decided to miss like the next 15 shots out of mercy I guess
VDesai @ 4/5/2025 5:21 PM
Rather than put in the bench, the Knicks decided just to not make a shot for the final 7:54 and still won by 16.

The least they could have done is played putrid with Dadiet and McCullar

Magic number is down to 2 for the 3 seed. Any combo of Knick wins and Indy losses. Indy faces Denver tonight and Knicks vs. Suns tommorow.

Would love to wrap this up by tommorow night and give KAT a rest and maybe even Hart or whoever else has runners knee.

I wonder if the Knicks see Dadiet next season as a back up 3/4, with emphasis on the 4. With Beauchamp and the other wing they picked up from Boston as a 3/2. Young inexpensive long athletes to work with in the off-season. Also have Okeke.

All things being equal, they prob work McCullar into the rotation first.

Dadiet will be a scoring forward

I envision Dadiet's final form as a post back surgery Batum. I see Dadiet show flashes of cutting, smart ball movement and a three point shot. Plus he shows good energy on defense.I don't think his shot creation will ever advance enough to be a consistent scorer. But who knows? We're trying to to project a 19 year olds development. But I do think he's at least a year away from being a viable rotation player.

Be interesting to see what unfolds. Dadiet has the length and potential skill to be a great pick up down the road. Hopefully we can coach up Beauchamp as well. Plus, for the bench next year gotta keep Wright. Even Okeke can be a good addition. Wings glorious wings...and Anton Watson.

Delon Wright is better for the Knicks than Cam Payne.

Right?
