PS: Meanwhile, something for everyone.  Remember how Kiid was mocking the Knicks for passing on Bones Hyland for Quentin Grimes?  WELL, the NUGGETS are looking to trade him.  Former Coach Karl said he is a great talent, but very immature, and that his shot selection would torpedo the team's playoff aspirations.

Come on, man. Knicks have likely dangled IQ in trades too. Question of particular needs in other areas, not necessarily that  the team has soured on the player.

Yeah, maybe Karl has inside info. Maybe. Or maybe it's just how Karl feels about this kind of baller.

I do belive the DANGLING IQ EPOCH has come to an end.

Grimes missing shots?

Brunson, Randle, Barrett dominating the ball.

Meanwhile. Part 2. I'm still absolutely bullish on Grimes. Predictable that he's getting fried for some missed shots.

I love Grimes cause he is always showing me some little something new. The lightning drives along the baseline. The interior passing. Yeah he will surely go through stretches where the shot is off-or-on, but he rarely takes a bad one. Happy to sit and watch his progress continue.

Totally agree.

He is very mature.

Does so many little things and is tasked with defending the other team's bell cow.

He's playing a role right now, but he's got tremendous upside.

WTF was Thibs thinking.

Someone other than Jalen taking the last shot.

I've been saying this again and again and again.

Thibs is terrible in end game situations. How many times like this we don't even get off a shot?

I know the dude is an encyclopedia of basketball, but he's got a mighty big blind spot.

Inspired by Chipirin comment about his favorite coach, and the fact I am now leaning towards my doggie for the position

That last shot in regulation. Jesus.

Yes for giving the ball to Brunson and riding that horse all the way.

Who doesn't do that??

But giving it to Randle with fucking AD guarding him! And worse, Julius is Mr. predictable out there, so LeBron can immediately double. In fact, you give it to Brunson, IQ or Grimes, we've got a fighting chance cuz no one knows where they're heading.

We gotta look for Grimes more.

How we set up and execute for critical baskets is definitely the worst aspect of this team.

It is called bad coaching.

Thibs benched RJ for most of the fourth quarter and all of overtime.

Hmmmm...

Death Wish

Is the Free Minutes Window finally closing for RJ, lol?

Some good some terrible yesterday.

Yes Julius' regulation closer was a predictable horror, but there was some attempt at variety in the final few minutes before that.

Helped that one ball stopper was on the bench. Believe RJ was sitting there on account of his defense, however. Grimes, Quick are just so much stronger. Hell, I think even Fournier is stronger at that end.

As for Brunson, well, big picture, the ball needs to move more into different hands....+25 shots for Jalen is always gonna indicate fail.
