NBA games McBride is 15-59, 5-32 and 3-4.  5.3 PER

Burks tonight?

Hazard a guess?

CRICKETS

1-FOR-8

More analytics, your smirkinghood?

Burks was 2 of 11. You are thinking of Fournier. He was 1-8, 0-5 from 3.

Ah SO.

Scorecard was amiss.

Listed them both as 1 for 8.

So?

A.combined 3 for 19.

No wonder Thibs depends on them. 

But hey, zero turnovers, right Kiid?

Burks was in fact 1-8 at one juncture.

Lets face it -he is having a piss poor shooting year (unlke Fornier)

Comparing him to Maxey is silly.  This is a vet on a short, relatively low $$ deal (3-30) whose contract is movable in deals.

YES

Just eleven TO in ten games for Burks

Shhoting update -  28/81 in that stretch

SIXTY rebounds to go with the 30 assists (6 steals, 5 blocks)

*Knicks have lost 13 of 15 because teams are better than us.  Not becuase we play the wrong guys.*

Your logic is awesome!

So you "like our guys." And you trust in the coach.

And you like how we're playing, and the role each player plays.

And if we lose most of our games, and have one of the worst records in the NBA, that's cool cuz pretty much everyone is better than us.

I have said I trust this management team.  I havent really commented on the coach.

Liking the team statement goes toward how it looks for the future.  I had a higher win total, sure -and thought we would be a playoff team.  Never said we'd even win one series.  If that is being boastful of the group...well, whatever.

Now, lets rip off 5 straight wins - or lose the rest of them.

Earning Your Minutes
« Reply #22972 on: March 03, 2022, 01:47:54 PM »
Coach Preaches How YOU EARN YOUR MINUTES. 

Then starts a manifestly non-functional entity at Point Guard. 

Because he "trusts" veterans. 

Again, my problems with AB is not a matter of dismissing his skill set. 

He is simply MISCAST as a lead guard. 

And OBVIOUSLY....

Rose going down had a cumulative ripple effect.  As part of a second unit featuring Rose, Quickley, Burks, Toppin, Noel, AB was a very effective offensive weapon when he did not need to create his own shot or set up the offense. 

Still, irrespective of Burks natural aptitude to rudder the offense...

THE OFFENSE IS STAGNANT AND MONOLITHIC.  Everyone standing around and watching RJ & JR "create," which they can do with a degree of effectiveness, but the lack of motion or cutters allows defenses to zero in on them in the third and fourth quarters.

YOU LIVE AND DIE BY THE THREE.  In the second halves, when our offense comes grinding down to a hot static mess, all of those missed threes force our defense to play catch up on one break after another. 

OUR DEFENSE IS NOT HAPPENNING.

If you're tired after halftime you don't belong in the NBA.

So there comes a point in most seasons, these past 20 or so seasons, where I say Basta Ya, and I don't have to watch every game anymore.

It is here!

**** Maybe Burks and Yickley are the best options at PG, but I do not have to watch it.

Actually, Thibs has rolled back the minutes of his CHOSEN PEOPLE slightly, with the exception of RJ. 

Last night? 

RJ [40]
JR [33]
AB [31]
EF [27]
CR [23]
MR[21]
IQ [20]
OT [15]
TG [14]
JS [13]

Deuce-RJ-Cam-JR-Mitchell

IQ-Fournier-Burks-Obi-Sims

That's how I'd go. 

But then, I'm not all that bright. 

These rotations need to be shaken up.
