I am really enjoying watching GTA play. High IQ, high effort,great D. Even gets some boards

I cannot say it. I am not gonna say it. I'll whisper: " Brunson should probably try to run our offense first, and if there is nothing there he might as well chuck a 3 with a defender in his vicinity. Instead of doing that first thing in the beginning of the possession"

I love small BBIQ stuff like this. Something so small but it made the basket much easier.

I love an easy lay.

KAT gets tunnel vision and gets stripped trying to plow through defenders in the paint while his teammates are wide open

He can be a very selfish player at the wrong times

Free Chicken hittin’ free throws!

Diawara is our most important development player. Kolek is second :) Who is with me on the Diawara bandwagon? I know I am a little late to the party, but still. He looks great

We're usually better if he focuses on his teammates early and the switches over to bully ball later in the game.

Some nights he's hot to start and it worked tonight particularly since Josh, Bridges and Mo hit their shots too.

But when it comes to the playoffs, the game plan should be a more balanced attack in the first half or those games can get away from you fast.

Diawara is our future # 2 option. In two years, he'll be more important to our offense than either OG or Bridges or KAT (though he likely won't be here by then).

The guy is a sure bet to average 20+ PPG by then as a starter.

BBIQ stuff again. This legit gave me chills. I love this stuff. He don't even know the system yet.

Alvarado is easily the fastest Knick

With more reps he should increase our pace when Brunson sits and he's handling the ball.

I believe in Kolek's future, but I can already see Alvarado is going to speed up our offense more which is good.

Jose is a game changer.

Deuce and Kolek almost no longer needed. Jose combines what they both do.
nycericanguy @ 2/8/2026 2:56 PM
24 min already for Jose you can see the trust Brown has in him

Hold up. Kolek gets guys going. Like KAT and Bridges and Shamet. That's his biggest contribution. I don't think GTA is that type. Deuce is a sharpshooter with amazing point of attack defense. GTA is a good defender, no doubt, but I don't think he is better than Deuce. Jose needs to work on his shot with our trainers. What I really like is how all three can change the momentum. Deuce with the timely 3 pointers, Kolek with some insane assists and GTA with the steals
