Even if Rose comes back, he is going to be rusty, but hey, Knicks haven't given up, on themselves, the season, or Coach Thibs. 


That is your position (and Chamaco is on your bandwagon too).

Not everybody is happy with coach Thibs. Just sayin...

I feel you.

Don't think a pink slip is the answer.

Maybe an offensive coordinator.

And Jokubaitis.

I would like more motion and cutters, more pace.

The camp out in the corners and watch sets not a tenable fourth quarter scheme.

And how about minute allocation? Our guys are always tired in the 4Q.

If you dont want to give him the pink slip, maybe he should be made defensive coordinator or something under somebody who can efficiently run a team.

Bad ass m'fer for sure...I'm thinking he's pretty happy w/the current situation. Places him at the epicenter of the flat earth. Only has to play ball once in a while. Can roast as much sage as he likes on the days off.

Pretty sad, really,  telling you this from the epicenter of Brooklyn, spitting distance to Barclays, nobody gives a fuck about the Nets, at all. Tickets available for a song any game. Zero resonance. Zero established fan base. Could be worse, tho, at least no longer owned by that Russian oligarch....

That was a fun little scrimmage. Unfortunately it counts as a win.

I really like the Kids and all but one vet, though he shot well from outside and that has value.

Imagine if we worked these lineups from day one

Are we in tank mode? 

Seems to ME that we are playing for 2022-23. 

As well as 2021-22.

Randle +24 [20-9-7]
RJ +22 [31-4-5]
Sims +21

Yes, it is damn near impossible for us to make up 5-1/2 games with 13 to go.

And I don't to go all weepy on y'all, but closing out on a positive note is very important both for next season and the offseason. 

Stranger things have happenned. 

I would reference the Spree-Houston-Camby-LJ Knicks' run to the 8th seed and eventually the playoffs. 

Or Gene Mauch's 1964 Phillies.  Up 6 with 12 to play 50 years ago, the Phillies were a shoo-in to reach the World Series--until they weren't.

PS: It would appear that World Wide Wes and Don Carlos have been overruled by Neon Leon.  We shall see. 

PPS: Let the masturbatory fantasies begin.  Karl Anthony Towns.  Donovan Mitchell?  Tell me about the rabbits, George.

PPPS: If our front office's offseason left something to be desired, consider that of the Lakers, smug as a motherfucker, didn't want to give DeRozan three years, and went for Westbrook instead.  Frustrated?  Did you see LeBron spike the ball into Scottie "Rookie Of The Year" Barnes' face on an out of bounds play.  What did they give up for Russ.  A pair of #2 picks, the #22 in last year's draft, Kuzma, Harrell, Pope.

Grimes did a full practice. We should see him back soon.

In the 20 years after the Voice and the Times outd him, I couldnt do the wait more than once or twice  a year. Would drive by now and then on a mid-week rainy day to see if the lines were short and I could sneak out with a pie in under an hour. Each one still treasured in memory.

Chemistry
« Reply #23096 on: March 17, 2022, 03:58:52 PM »

D-Rose went down and took our season with him.

Poor Nerlens was a train wreck. 

Kemba, whose signing I was surely enthusiastic about, truth be told, torpedoed our chemistry so conclusively, that Thibs freaked and literally nailed him to the pine until he ran out of bodies.
As per NEON LEON, please nothe, that ere in the wake of the Celtics' 42-28 ascension, it is worth noting that GM Brad Stevens wrote off Evan Fournier, and was willing to give the Thunder a 2021 #1 pick as a sweetner to offload Kemba and bring back Al Horford.

Stretch 4 Two-Way Signing Luka Samanic looked like a burgeoning talent in Westchester, but hurt his heel and has played to my knowledge, on game in 2022.  SIGH. 

Evan's game last night was hopeful on a number of fronts, no doubt teasing Facil's trade barometer, as he shot well, actually defended, and had what, 2 steals and 6 assists. 

Burks has been a gamer, doing what was asked, even though mis-cast as a PG. 

Where NEON LEON excelled, was in the draft, where Quentin Grimes, Miles McBride and Jericho Sims are all keepers, though it remains to be seen what their ceiling is, and Jokubaitis remains a tantalizing X-Factor. 

Oh, and no moves at the trade deadline?  Kevin Knox and the provisional #1 from Charlotte for Cam Reddish was looking pretty damn good--and still is--when the kid went down.  I am looking for Cam & RJ to be a signficant tandem [and hopefully poor Kevin goes to a team this summer where he actually gets off the pine.]

CHEMISTRY? 

Performance wise, the Burks/Bullock over/under seems to be a wash.  Reggie has had an up and down year for the Mavs, dealing with his share of injuries. 

CHEMISTRY?  Thibs leaned hard on Reggie, and he was apparently Julius' best bro on the team.
 
CHEMISTRY?

Oddly enough I would nominate THEO PINSON as a signficiant loss. 

Okay, I hear you.  OUR EXPERIENCE of Theo was when he came in around garbage time, and bricked a trey [0-8 for the season]. 

Oddly enough, Theo also ended up with Dallas, where his invisible influence counts for something, little as it may be, but he is for them, what he was for us, a glue guy, a practice player, a locker room/bench jockey, a positive influence who keeps everyone loose and laughing, something of a coach on the bench. 

Anyway, would I rather have Jericho Sims, or for that matter, Ryan Arcidiacono?  The mirage known as Luka Samanic?  Sure. 

But when charting the inconsistencies and palpable chemistry issues our Knicks and their coach jousted with all season long, well, there is more between heaven and earth than is accounted
for in boxscores, Horatio.

The persistent beating of the jungle drums says we make a run after DONOVAN MITCHELL.  I am not sure I buy into the HE WANTS TO BE A KNICK NARRATIVE. 

How does this sound to you, FACIL. 

Fournier
Toppin-OR-Reddish
2022 #1
2023 #1 [Dallas Pick]

Would I do it? 

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....that's a tough one...

Not sure. 

Still, any trade realistically, would have to include a couple of #1 picks, and at least one of our Plum Pups. 

Me? 

I would look to get Jokubaitis here, keep developing Quick, McBride and Grimes, and look to the draft.  One more year of Rose as a mentor, ankle willing.  We miss his leadership, on and off the floor. 

But then, as is well known, I'm a rose-colored glasses blaring schmuck

Though arguably as big a schmuck as World Wide Wes? 

Stay tuned.
