I know he's overcome a ton of injuries, that he apparently has been playing well this year, that he prob just had an extra off game against us...but

I'm still befuddled that Kristaps still hasn't developed anything resembling a go-to move.

I hear the market is pretty dry for Cam. I hope he can figure out what is expected of him and get back in good graces. We could use the speed and length he brings if he can find the focus Thibs wants. He was better in his 20 games this year than in the fifteen he played for us last year.

Or Cam Reddish and a not so valuable pick to Minnesota for Taurean Prince.

Their minutes and stats are nearly identical this year except for games played. Prince is under contract another year and I think Thibs would like him enough to use him with the second unit.

I do not know what the plan is in the twin cities. Cam could theoretically become more valuable than Prince down the line. Prince would be good for us now.

Fac, thanks for answering my question.

I think the solution is not for Cam to figure out what Thibs wants, but for the Knicks to figure out that they need another coach. And obviously not just for not playing Cam.

I have issues with Thibs...

But your obsession has grown progressively more tiresome, compadre.

We are alone in the sixth spot in the eastern playoff hunt and you want to fire Thibs because Cam can't get playing time and because you don't tlike Thibs short rotation and his offensive zeitgeist.

Grow up.

Grow up to follow Dear Leader Chipirin?

No thanks, meshuga.

Your positive pussiness is growing tiresome as well.

Grow up.

Top ten in offensive rating, defensive rating, and differential.

The points of emphasis are limit paint scoring allowed, rebound on both ends, and limit turnovers. We do all three. As our players gel their shooting percentages are all going up.

I cannot think of another coach likely to achieve that with the personnel we have.

You have to let Thibs play out the season at the very least.

 So sorry.

SO Sorry that a winning  record, incremental improvement and actually being in the playoff hunt  as opposed to the play in consolation prize doesn't align with your thoughtful  narrative wherein we anniont the Earthly Remains of Mike Miller, just arrived from Calvary Hill, to lend his signature coaching mastery to a Knicks squad clearly in a viral descent. 

Knock yourself out, homie.

See, you make your points without being unpleasant like meshuga Chipirin.

My main complaint about Thibs, in addition to being unable to design a coherent play when needed, is that a 6 or 7 man rotation is not sustainable. How long can Randle and Brunson keep playing 40 minutes a game?

And what happened with the development we were seeing in players like Obi, Cam or Sims?

Meanwhile....

Randle is playing the best ball of his life.

Wild to see.

We'll see what he has in the tank tomorrow.

And isn't the improvement in IQ's game obvious?

He's gonna have a good long career. Does so many things.

True, our 6th man is doing really well, actually playing more minutes than RJ, for the time being.

Sustainable?

K

Still...

Grimes and IQ sprouting before our eyes.  Check their minutes and RJ's today.  Almost as if RJ were a sixth man.

Randle playing at a new peak.  Hit all his FTs and only 1 turnover.  Again, he and Brunson carried us. I know...only the Pistons

We are 25-19.  And I'm supposed to be grinding my teeth over Obi and Cam.

Their time may come or it may not.

Anyone here who had us in the sixth spot at the halfway point?

Does Thibs get any credit for that.

Of course not.  Were succeeding in spite of him. 

Got you.
