That was a nice change of pace.

More McBride please. He is good.

I like that Quick completed a redemption lob to Mitch after throwing an earlier one into the rafters.

Taj is in every way more useful on the floor than Noel.

Evan needs to get twenty points to go from infuriating to only disappointing.

Start Deuce and Quick. Bring the farts off the bench.

Mitch Randle RJ Quickley McBride, or start Taj and bring Mitch off the bench. More fun that way.

The McBride-Quickly duo was the revelation.

And in the 4th quarter, paired with Taj + Mitch.

That's interesting! And it damn sure worked (at least against Houston).

Deuce - gettin in the paint under control, dishing

Its been missing

I am calling a 25-7-5 game for Burks.

Chamaco, are u better at predicting than you are at your day job? 😳

Do u actually have a day job? 🥸

[NYK] starters have remained terrible without Walker, and so has their defense.
With the foursome of Burks, Evan Fournier, Barrett and Julius Randle on the court, New York has allowed 121.4 points per 100 possessions in 110 minutes this season, an even more dismal mark than the 117.5 per 100 it gave up in 408 minutes with Walker, Fournier, Barrett and Randle sharing the floor.

Since being officially named a starter, Burks has shot 12-for-42 (28.6 percent) from 3-point range ... and averaged 14.3 points on 49.8 percent true shooting.

Burks defense has also been erratic, especially off the ball and (lack of) awareness of screens.  I can't imagine 40 mpg is helping Burks defense, but he was abysmal in 2nd half v. GSW.

Meanwhile teams seem to be targeting Fournier lately.

I said a few weeks ago that maybe the Knix should start Rose and Taj together, since they play hard and have plenty of chemistry.

Ankle nursing is going to put a damper on the Rose starting experiment, at least for a while.

I propose a young guns rotation, assuming our kids can get back quickly and easily from the Covid protocols.

Robinson Sims
Randle Toppin
Barrett Knox
Grimes Burks
McBride Quickley

Heyyyyy

Alriiiiight Fac





No.

[bodiddley]

Burks just had a baby, which is why he missed the previous game.
So probably a bad time to predict a big game.
Dealing with family distractions and likely lack of sleep.
NBA players have lives which affect their play, and we usually aren't privy to that.

[bodiddley]

At times Fournier tuning out is almost a tangible visible thing.
Late 2Q, he misses a pair of FT's.
Then pushes a guy in the back on an entry pass.  Knix in the penalty so FT's for HOU, making a run.  Next play Fournier plays catch with Randle and then fires a 3 over the rim.  It's as if his 6-hour energy concoction ran out 5 minutes ago.

I was watching the game on the couch in our living room when my girlfriend came home from christmas shopping after work.   She started casually showing me what she bought while also taking note of what was happening on the TV.   She never watches but always asks me who is winning.   It was a two point game when she came in but then IQ started hitting threes and she was like "Who is that he is good, is his name really Quickley?"  And then every time he nailed a three she would yell with delight.   Finally Taj started taking threes and she said, "that guy always misses" lol.  Needless to say the win was made more enjoyable with her company and commentary.

RAPTOR ratings use play-by-play and player-tracking data to calculate each player's individual plus-minus measurements and wins above replacement, which accounts for playing time.


Derrick Rose is 13th
Julius Randle is 249th

Out of 250 players.

Other Knicks

Burks is 26th
IQ is 49th
------------------
Mitch is 143rd
Kemba is 163rd
Toppin is 180th
Barrett is 189th
Fournier is 223rd

Makes sense that the Knicks starters are ranked low since they often get the team into a hole early.   Doesn't mean Julius Randle is a bad player necessarily.   Just that he hangs out in the wrong crowd.

Nice list

Liking Dangelo at 22 overall and Hield in top 50.

I think Barnes is top rookie at 42

[lesterluv]
