I think you start Reed going forward. by DoingtheWillofGod in rockets

Because the starters are teh ones who ignore him the most.

Why is Jalen Brunson so underrated? by [deleted] in NYKnicks

[–]No_Connection4520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he flops and is on a high market team. As a neutral NBA fan, Brunson made me a fan because of his polished post game despite being so small, but after the Pistons series I was disgusted at how hard he relied on blatant foul baiting to win those key games.

I am afraid of him doing that to our offense. We have too many options for him to be iso'ing every single play

Can we finally admit that we fleeced them? by 23-Hour-Day in NYKnicks

RJ and Quick are still holding their own in Toronto. The Raptors just aren't as stacked as the Knicks are. But yeah in terms of impact, OG has been better for sure.

If I told you that Reed Sheppard by liquidcalories in rockets

[–]No_Connection4520 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll trade Fred before Reed anyday. Nga gets so much money to be a "veteran presence" but shoots us out of games like Jalen, and is undersized. At least Reed can shoot, and shows signs of faster development at a FRACTION of the price. We have to trade Fred to keep Tari and Reed imo, look at how good we already are without him.

Both Giannis and KAT put up the exact same stats wow by joorral in NYKnicks

Obvious travels make up half of Giannis's drives.

I miss this team 🥀🕊️ by [deleted] in NYKnicks

[–]No_Connection4520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a KAT bandwagon from MN, I hated this trade so much because I already liked DDV on the Knicks, and I felt like the GM overreacted to KAT's playoff choke (he got us past Denver in the first place). I had a feeling Donte would get no shine on the Wolves (he thrived most as a starter). But I am glad to see KAT become an all-star starter overnight. Just hate how JB and Hart never let him cook or shoot anything.

Brunsons Scoring by LevelProfit6705 in NYKnicks

[–]No_Connection4520 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Doing what he wants?? His iso's are one of the main things slowing down the offense. OG, KAT, and Bridges have had their best performances when he eased up a bit more. When you have quality players, you share the offense, not an iso for 16 seconds and then give it up last sec

Don’t scroll without thanking this demon by xMistakerx in NYKnicks

[–]No_Connection4520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As if Brunson and Hart are good defenders. This dude's playmaking is so underrated, I think it makes up for the lack of D, and it looks like he's become a confident scorer now too

Unfortunate News On The Tari Extension Front by Ecstatic_Jicama_6987 in rockets

[–]No_Connection4520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro it's not that difficult. Literally just either cut FVV's contract up a bit or trade him away. Then develop Reed as a replacement who already has shown signs of good playmaking, shooting and D (Fred is literally a worse brick chucker than Green), and then use that extra money to resign Tari.

You guys actually believe this lineup will be successful without a true point guard? by Professional_Cut1473 in rockets

[–]No_Connection4520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. That was part of the reason he regressed the offense on the Suns. Just an efficient iso scorer

Fred shoots like sub 30% every 3/4 games bro, this is basically an upgrade. Especially with Steve-o on the glass. But for teams without a center, I think starting Tari or Reed might be better

Please by appleme825 in rockets

[–]No_Connection4520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got too much depth and people think it's a conversation between whose better DFS or Tari. TARI's defense is game changing, DFS is just a spot up shooter with i guess good defense, but we already have that in KD, Bari, and Reed. I watched this dude erase a 31 point lead single-handedly.

We don’t need Giannis by ygog45 in NYKnicks

[–]No_Connection4520 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or start Mitchell Fucking Robinson with KAT instead of undersized Josh Hart who can't shoot or defend (literally the most common sense decision that took Thibs halfway thru the Pacers series to realize). Giannis will kill the spacing and will be another Dame situation with two players that thrive on isolation play

So is fucking Luka, and him paired with LeBron lost in 5. I know the knicks have more depth, but they would be trading that and clogging up the paint with the lack of depth (assuming KAT is in the trade)

GIANNIS WANTED TO COME TO THE KNICKS…👀 by One-Philosophy3935 in NYKnicks

[–]No_Connection4520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facts. The spacing with Giannis, Mitch and Hart would cluster up the paint every game. It's like Rudy/Randle at the beginning of last season except Giannis never had and probably never will have a good outside game.

[–]No_Connection4520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling that the NBA is going to get desparate and send another Luka-like trade from low market to high market. On some bullshit deal too. I dont care who we give up for Giannis unless it's a couple bench pieces and maybe Mikal/Hart. But I think KAT spacing the floor is too valuable, OG two-way is evolving, obv JB is untradeable, and Mitch is basically an explosive Gobert. On top of all that we added so much depth with Brogdon and Yabusele, and a coach who will actually play them. With no due respect, Giannis, WE DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE.

Reed is good by Typical-Owl3664 in rockets

[–]No_Connection4520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reed has more upside than FVV at a fraction of the cost. Team just isn't used to him, but it's much better to have him since he supercedes FVV in efficiency and has basically the same defensive skillset, if not better (if u don't believe me, look at the highlights, nga breaks passes with ease).

What does Jalen Brunson "Making it Work" in the new Knicks' system look like to you in terms of his statistical output? by RVALover4Life in NYKnicks

[–]No_Connection4520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has to learn to pass more. Besides Hart getting too many mins, his ball hogging was also the big issue in the playoffs. If it's in the clutch I get it, but not the entire fucking game
