So far I love the Thibs coaching style and hope he will be here for a long time, but I've always had a little concern about having Woodson on the staff.  Can't understand why he was hired when he had his chance and did not do well. 

Just concerned if deep down inside, privately, he would have some sour grape and undermine Thibs or not put in his best effort and advice just to show it wasn't him. 

I keep looking for signs of a Freudian slip, but haven't seen enough comments or interviews to verify.

Haliburton is non spectacular.  A better Frank.  High floor, I guess.

2nd time you've compared TyH to Franc.
Ridiculous.  Zero in common.

Great game.
Didn't matter how the last 3 minutes went, Knix had played a strong game.  I thought NYK played the better team ball all night.  IND never looked coherent -- give the Knick defense some credit on that.  Too much INDividual play.  The Frog killed it 1Q, then Oladipo got to the FT line a ton 3Q, but he was going all 1-on-1.  And didn't get shots for Sabonis or Brogdon.  Oladipo just 3 assists.

My Turn struggled.  Mitch killed him on the boards.  Elf & RJB went at him.
Turner with just 4 rebounds and 1 block.  And every time MyTurn shot a 3, was a break for the Knix.  McDoug was also way off on 3's.

Elf & Mitch were dynamite.  RJB did a nice job pressuring the D.
Randle bounced back from a nothing 1st half.  Yeah, the steal was key, but what a lazy one hand push bounce pass from Brogdon.  Then Frog got blocked by Mitch on a 3.  So after a terrific game, Brigadoon was kinda the goat.

Knicks killed INDy on the boards.
Nice team game, which stretched to all 48.

Funny, I saw the 1Q of ATL-CLE. 
Looked like a typical Hawk game.  Hawks 35-25. 
Then the Knix replay was available and I didn't watch any more.
Turns out the Hawks only scored 35 points in the 2nd half, were held to 91, and lost.
Both Cavs and Hawks 4-2 now.

With okoro out, Cav shave been starting Exum in a 3 PG/G alignment.

Was Woodson our coach last time we were good?

109-79 overall, after looking it up

I was never a Woodson enthusiast and while he had a good run replacing D'Antoni midstream, gave way more credit to Jason Kidd for our winning ways, which dissipated after the PG retired. 

But sour grapes? 

REALLY? 

To the point where he would undermine THIBS? 

SERIOUSLY? 

Thibs seems to give great leeway and credit to his staff, likewise, there is NO QUESTION who is in charge. 

The proof is on the court, no?

Show me some clips saying otherwise

Julius Randle is the first player in @nyknicks history to average at least 20 PPG, 10 RPG, and 5 APG through the first six games of a season.

Big stat game from Ty H

All pretty basic

Kornet is a Bull. Let’s hope our bigs stay healthy.

I'm aware of that.

Four remain from this tank battle. 

Ten were either waived, cut or not extended new contracts or allowed to bolt as free agents. 

Waste. 

And from here, Mills went to PLAN Z, bailing entirely on youth development signing a host of vets in lieu of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

Drafted RJ Barrett & Ignas Brazdeikis

Reggie Bullock
Elfrid Payton
Wayne Ellington
Taj Gibson
Bobby Portis
Marcus Morris
Julius Randle

Randle a keeper in second year of three year deal.
Bullock's option picked up
Payton dropped and resigned for $3 Million less
Ellington, Gibson, Portis dropped
Morris converted into Immanuel Quickley.

So, out of 23 developing puppies and wily vets, nine remain, and one converted into High IQ. 

Kadeem Allen and Alonzo Trier converted into Jared Harper and Theo Pinson.

LEON ROSE'S New Additions For 2020-2021

Musical chairs with young players not uncommon

Save that we basically wasted an entire year developing players we let walk [such as Mudiay, Vonleh, Kornet, Hezonja and subsequently, post-Mills, Dotson and Trier] neglecting the development of some young players we kept, such as Frank, Kevin and Dennis.
