Biggest missing piece is obviously Burks

Will be interesting to see how he gels with Rivers

Yes, Thibs has a decision with the Barrett minutes.  Most likely they stay pretty high - but as a coach, do you ever start dissuading the 3 point effort?

Great points...this might tell us a lot if Thibs is the right guy to turn us around.

Jerrya, did you make a Win predication?
I don't have yours.
Not to late to take a guess ....

 
I don't think I put anything here but I did make a small wager on over 23.5

What do we do with Barrett?  0 for 21 in 3's.  He's not a shooter.  When good shooters have off nights, their shots are in the ball park  but when he misses they are truly klunkers with no touch on the ball.

Sometimes he won't even hit the rim and worse yet he will throw up air balls.  These are not signs of a cold night just a bad shooter. Don't know if his rebounding, defense, or going to the hoop can overcome his lack of outside presence.

I like Thibs so far because of his substitution process.  Too many coaches go into a game with a preset sub pattern and number of minutes to give no matter what the situation is.  Thibs seems to go by feel of the game and play who hot and bench who's not and is not worried about pre-planned minutes or patterns.

Jerrya, please what’s a steak shooter?
Not trying to be funny, I just don’t know what that is.
Thanks.

Hot one night and can't hit rim on another...ie. Barrett, Knox. When you go 8 or 9 in a row one night and go 0 for 9 on another you call it a steak shooter/ inconsistent shooter but to be honest you can just call it not a good shooter.

Basketball can be very simple or very complex, it's what you make of it.  Some people put too much emphasis on coaching, game planning, and match-ups, but the fact of the matter is you have to have shooters.  Over the last few years we haven't had pure shooters.  Long gone are the days of Starks, Houston, Ward, Johnson, and Ewing to name a few, or even go back to the good old days of Frasier, Monroe, Bradly,  Debusschereand, and  Reed...they were all shooters

Bottom line is you have to have shooters and we don't have any...hopefully Quickley will be one.  But watching other teams play I ask myself why don't we have any. Most all of our are considered steak shooters.  That's a cop out way of saying we don't have any. 

Best coaching an strategy in the world will not overcome poor or inconsistent shooters.

This shows how important a good PG is in today. Quickly came in and the team went on a rampage,  went out and the team looked like   garbage. Payton played awful on both ends of the floor.

I’m not saying he’s a superstar, but he knows how to run a team and that’s something we’ve been missing for a long time.

I wouldn't object for Payton starting for now being a vet and not putting Quickley under immediate pressure but I don't agree he won the  job.  Quickley looked pretty good out there.

Quickley is becoming one of my favorite Knicks!  Should be the starting PG soon. The difference between him and the shit we have is he can shoot— that’s Important

He can shoot, he can dribble, he has good court vision and is aggressive.

Can't believe Quickley didn't get any minutes in Game 1.  We need shooters and he's one of the few we have.  Play him now.

Was hoping to see Immanuel Quickley... for close to 50 % 3 pt. shooter and a 1st round pick I thought he would get some time.

Just made  my annual wager...took the over 23.5 games.  For me it makes the season more interesting.  Would have lost last years but because of the shortened season saved me and I got my money back. ;-)

Getting ready to place my annual win total for the Knicks.  The going number is 22 1/2 for the 72 game schedule.  Leaning towards the over.  Any tips besides don't gamble;-)
