Knicks fans are frustrated too… well, only those who aren't content with just having a team that wins more than loses, but is never a serious top title contender.
This seems to me to be a Coaching level problem. At this point in the season, how can professionals not know their roles?? What exactly is the friction? And WHO is having the problem? Your comments are too ambiguous. It's better not say anything!
They need to get the fuck off the internet stop the podcast bullshit. These guys are not fully locked in to the season we need Mike Brown to put his foot down.
Pump the brakes❗️❗️ 70 points😩😩😩Knicks must play consistently for entire game on both sides of the ball
BRUNSON
1A – KAT
2 – OG
flow with everybody else..
I've been very vocal since last year, everyone is obsessed with Kat but EVERYTHING has to change when he is on the floor… Herkey jerky offense, lack of ball movement, lack of cutting, whole defensive model has to change to over helping until Mitch comes in.. At the end of the day we are the only good team with a Kat, no other good team has a huge liability on the floor for 30 minutes a night. Was the same w Randle, Hit the numbers everyone would point to but would literally have to pull him for toppin ( yes. 4 TOPPIN) to be able to catch up and go ahead
Brunson keeps his Nova boys together, not the rest of the team. It's obvious with how Brunson force feeds Bridges, OG and Hart. KAT is the best scorer on the team, Brunson needs to play off him so he can get better shots. It's not Brown, it's Brunson that needs to adjust him game for the betterment of the team. Bridges, Hart and OG needs to just concentrate on defense and not offense.
Trust we’re forget playoff jimmy !! Playoff Knicks about to turn up . I’m not worried. We’re gonna switch the offense and defense in the playoffs.
What was given for Bridges, he has not lived up to that price. His game is at 15’, not 23’. For some reason he thinks he’s a 3pt shooter. When the Knicks are at their best they take 3s in the flow of the offense. 25 threes a game should be their max.
Brunson can be a world-class leader, but when your best player can't guard anybody, the men actually doing the dirty work will tune out his rah rah talk. The Knicks just need Mitch to play starter's minutes…or replace him with someone who can next year.
With Thibs still being paid. I would have offered a two year deal with 3 yr Team option to a new Head coach.
I have always believed moving Bridges and Hart to the bench makes us better. It’s hard for Bridges OG Kat Brunson all get their touches For a whole Kat issue was early foul trouble.
There should not be a pecking order period Troy! I thought with the talent we have where any player can get 20. Simple hit the open man. That’s how our 70 and 73 did it. They had just as much talent. 4 Hall of Famers! If they could sacrifice for a title. Then why can’t this Team? Ego?
Can you honestly say the Knicks will win tonight? Would you bet your house car bank ? Hell no lol. Why? Because we don’t know which Knick Team will show?? The Nets beat the Pistons!! Something we failed to do
I still believe the rumors are real. The friction in the locker room is real. You can see it on the floor. I think a lot of the players are sick of Kat. Everyone has played with the type of player Kat is. Your team is on a run and when he gets the ball the run stops. Kat sometimes will create an offensive foul, lose the ball or take a bad shot. I believe that is why the team freezes him out some games. When he has a mismatch he refuses to go down low to exploit it. On defense you can see guys visibly upset on how Kat defends. This team is not connected fully. This late in the season, is a problem. The fact that coach still hasnt figured out a consistent bench yet is an issue. Also there is a chance the way the Knicks defend, this game will be close. Even with the Nets playing G-League players.
This team has too much bs drama and honestly it's sickening
If the game is played with the philosophy of little to no set plays and reacting to what the opposing defense gives you, then there can really be no firm shooting priority because opposing teams have different weakest links to exploit. Such a system depends on our team having players that make smart decisions and be willing to make sacrifices in order to exploit the best available opportunities.
I respectfully disagree. JB has an attitude problem when things don’t go his way he sulks in a corner.
Lost hella respect for JB when he said on his podcast he’s never been to Queens and doesn’t have any desire to ever go. What type of real New Yorker says that 😭 sounds incredibly spoiled and entitled – not the qualities you want to see in a team leader.
I said this and imma say it again. It's more than just JB leadership style because the Warriors have a similar leader in Curry and it was like that for years. They are a team of high level role players. So consistency especially under pressure and adjustments are going to be a weakness. At If they have Bridges come off leading the 2nd unit. He would excel especially if paired with Hart. If they have starters JB, KAT, OG, Diawara, Jose & 2nd unit Clarkson, Robinson or Huka or Sohan (on Mitch load management days), Bridges, Hart, Shamet.
Because having your 5 best players with Bridges especially leading to role confusion not out of arrogance but just skill level with respect to consistency and pressure. Even elite/superstars need pressure off them many times so they could better lock in. I think Brown has to stop pandering and I also think he sees this as well but doesn't want to disrespect his best players with a strategic adjustment like that.
Brunnson not passing enough and needs nowtiski s help for shooting adjustments, bridges should be 6th rotation, kolek needs more minutes. he's an asset, diawara starting, everyone else is firing at all cylinders. Go ny go. Brown is a visionary love you man
This game will be over by half time play the bench second half
The Knicks almost lost to a G-league level warriors team. The Knicks shouldn't take any team lightly.
Sometimes when the Knicks don’t have a game, it’s good to look at some of the other top tier team’s to see how they are playing.
The Knicks have as much, if not more talent than some of these teams, so we have to look at some of the differences between those teams and the Knicks.
One of the things that stands out is that those players seem to enjoy playing with each other. They all seem to rally around the best player on their team. I don’t see that level of rallying around JB by his teammates. Sure, a high five here and there, but not genuine embrace of him etc. Brunson is a cold individual.
better buy in soon
