When you have a whole bunch of guys who ain't hitting their shots, or getting the right ones, in a shocking three-point drought, from long timers like Fournier to youngsters like RJ or Obi, you have to at least glance in that direction as well as the players themselves and the coach.


Fournier?  Who's that?

Are you telling me you have liked the drive, draw and dish game of Brunson?  I havent seen it.  And this is what you all wanted.

Me?  I am fine with a scoring point - always have been.  Optimistic.  But he has to make big shots and will his mates some.

Good effort.  No closer.

RJ Barrett - with his late foul - just cost Knicks bettors tens of thousands of dollars.....

That was as good a setup as you could want for beating the Bucks with two minutes of good basketball.

The Starters all played good minutes and held serve with their counterparts more or less. They have the benefit of having done it together for years and in elimination games. This was a good experience but it would have been a better win had we managed to pull it off.

More than a closer, you need a play. Bucks ran a play. Grayson Allen is nobodys superstar. Our only play is: who wants to fail at being Da Man.

I was resisting it for awhile, do appreciate some of his qualities, loved the effort last night, but yes, I am all in, lol, off with his head!

and if you are gonna dig a grave, might as well go and dig two***

***Embargo over...Leon should be spanked, disembowled, spitroasted (choose your order) for not sending RJBrickit and QuicktoUpChuck out for Donovan, lol, what? who? those two? You are joking right? Must be kidding!

twitter had me laughing today bout OBI:

"The Knicks using Obi Toppin as if he is Steve Novak sure seems like a suboptimal utilization of the most athletic players in franchise history"

Let Thibs lead the tank, clean up in the draft, then offer the position when it is more attractive to potential candidates.

We are not so far ahead of the dregs that we miss having the fifth or sixth worst record in the league if we stay the course. If Dallas and Washington both miss the lotto, it could be a transformational offseason for us. All our valuable players are young and locked in and we are already not winning any chip this year.

Keep Thibs, doomed to fail for stated reasons, and tank on.

Trade Randle to Phoenix for Crowder, Saric, and either Cam Johnson or Torrey Craig. We can throw in the Washington pick to sweeten it for them.

Free Minutes vs No Minutes

In either his 2cnd season alone or 3rd season alone, and damn near in his 1st season alone, RJ Barrett has gotten more minutes and shots than Obi Toppin has had in his entire NBA career.

And RJ is STILL a net negative player and nobody can really tell me what his skill is.

Meanwhile, they are turning my boy Obi into a statue in the corner. The Dentist V2. Imagine if Obi got the chance to hoist 3500 bricks, turn the ball over 500 times and lose us 150 games without penalty, lol...bet something might improve.

F what I just said, OFF with that human-manatee-looking lying about earning your minutes mf'er's head right the F now!

*** we can still lose plenty games, trade Jules, whatever...but in a new and fresh way

Closer, who wanted a f'n closer? Donovan Mitchell 2cnd most Clutch FG's in the league this season, even with Luka Doncic at 17, behind Fox who has 20...sigh, spit roast? Is that even harsh enough?

Obi's shot total slightly up this year. Not quite 1 every 2 minutes.  Makes are way down.

Allen was in a 2 for 1 spot.  Wasnt really a design.
Though my man RUSS was criticized for doing the same in a tie game late.

I guess if Grayson clanks it he is an idiot as well.

Last year about a third of his shots were 3's.
This year almost two thirds of his shots are 3's.
His 3 point percentage is up. His 2 point percentage is down. Probably because he hardly ever takes them.
With the current trajectory, he will hit Novak like levels of specialization by early February.
