Fizdale can still inspire and lead a team to the same level of excellence as he did in New York.

Fac, you have a very forgiving memory. Fizz, really? level of excellence???

LORDY HAVE MERCY!!!

I also want Fac on the coaching staff, provided he has no input on trades.

"no input on trades" includes the rest of the coaching staff, especially the head coach.

Trae on the CV shelf, along with Capela, Gallo, LouW, TLC.
ATL just signed lance Stephenson, who is/was rather in the mold of Cam Reddish.
Lance surprisingly just 31.


I don't get the idea that we need better defense and should move RJB to the 2nd unit.
Mitch and 4 poor defenders is not a recipe for success.
Yes, Burks has been expending more energy on D and generating some steals, but off the ball and on screens he's often a disaster (as I've noted in many games this season).

I'd be fine seeing what we have with Kemba- Burks - RJB - Randle - Mitch
Or starting Fournier and playing him heavily 1st half and Burks heavily 2nd half, as Thibs did for a while.  or Rose starting in place of Kemba.
But Mitch and 4 sub-par defenders is not gonna end well.

Knix need to start a PG, Randle as our main man, Mitch and RJB as defenders who can score and a shooter (Burks, Fournier, Grimes).  And figure out how to make it work.  Fournier has always deferred to Randle and passed to Julius alot, but now Randle is starting to look for Fournier.  Kemba seems to be developing a connection with Mitch.  RJB will have to be the glue guy.  Yank Fournier when he starts tuning out, or have him come off the bench. 

We already have nice bench chemistry between Rose-Taj and IQ-ObiT.
Just need to design the offense and defense to maximize the players we have and develop that elusive chemistry.

Watch the 2nd half of Raps-BKY, where Barnes goes toe-to-toe with KD on both ends.
A real revelation.
This rook could be a bigger (and better) Paul George/Jayson Tatum.

Thanks for the Hawks update, Bo.  Optimism for a win v Hawks?  (Huerter now also out)

Watching now vs Orlando, where they trail by 9 early.  Lance on the court, er... "orchestrating".  Some unrecognizables for each side.

probably so...but with Covid protocols and all, there's going to be lots of  opportunities for everyone.  The whole thing about Thibs not talking to Kemba at all after he was benched - seems very wrongheaded...

...probably both.


(and yes, let's move RJ to the second unit. Once he actually develops he can come back to the first. Both Burks and Grimes have better D and better O.)

Yeah Thibs should be reprimanded by someone in the MSG offices.

Doesn't make sense to do that to RJ.  Instantly decreases his value and standing in the league plus kills his confidence.  I would keep him in the first unit.
