PS As much of a flamethrower as Fournier was in the first quarter, how many touches did he get thereafter? Riddle me that Thibs.


Defensive adjustment?

Part of it surely, but....

Equally much the usual number of dribble down, pure iso or one pass-and-done possessions without so much as a thought to swing-it-round to Frenchie.

I mean opposing defenses sometimes change, but our offense never does.

Got to have 6 for 22 or 7 for 24 in the box whenever possible, as many as possible!

Why look for a shooter when you can get your $%^ blocked or stolen by one player or preferably, three players at once.

Sigh.

PS: Fournier has been playing D.  Had a couple of steals and is a willing passer.

I do wonder what Randle would look like if he was paired with a great veteran point guard who directed the offense.



Not sure how that would help him make a bunny layup, down 5 in last 2 minutes

He's a great and rugged talent. But the dude needs guidance. Everyone can see that now and it's been clear long before this. And just as clear, he ain't getting that from his coach.

Hence, the notion, however naive, that he would be helped by a strong, veteran point guard, a team leader unafraid to call out Julius when need be.

Randle can be "helpped"by quite a few things.

And a better PG helps not only Julius but everyone

So your point...it aint a point at all.

Do we deal him?  Our to dawg?  Always a tough question.

I think it deends on who offfers what. Certanly wait for calls rather than outwardly shopping Julius - and see what is dangled in front of us.

Draft day or just prior is of course the best time to strike with this.

The point is simple enough for a child.

Pay attention.

You deal him.

(Unless you can find a player or a system that can put him in a distinctly different zone.)

(But this experiment? As is? It's over. It's played out. It's not working and it's not going to work.)

It seems that KD is enough to win by himself. Ok, with other random guys no matter who they are on a given game.

No Julius against the Hawks.
We'll see how that goes after all our complaining ).
The first go round without Mr. Grumpy, back over Christmas, didn't go so well.
I suspect & hope this one will be better.
I hope we'll see lots of Toppin. I suspect we'll see lots of Taj.

Don't forget that we just signed 6'8" Forward Feron Hunt to a two year/two way contract. 

More of a SF from what I can see.  But there is always small ball.

As for Obi?

Maybe Thibs should consider starting IQ at point, as his chemistry with Obi is demonstrably stronger than that of Burks, let alone that they play at a similar pace & tempo. 

Too bad Luka Sam-A-Knick had those plantar facitis issues.  He was emerging as a serious stretch 4 talent when he went down.

Miles McBride had 20 points, 18 assists, 4 steals & just 1 turnover in Westchester Knicks win over Grand Rapids last night. An imperfect stat, but NYK has outscored opponents by a total of 109 points in his 269 NBA minutes.

Right.

Surely not up to the lofty level of competition Jimmer posts his big time  numbers against.
