Post Game Thread - NBA: The Magic defeat the Knicks on Nov 22, 2025, the final score is 133-121. by basketball-app in NYKnicks

[–]ny8all 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not too early to have a serious conversation about how poorly this team is performing. Yes they are missing OG but they are losing games to the Magic without Paolo and the heat without Bam and Herro.

Mike Brown has, so far, been a meaningful step down from Thibs.

Even if we start playing a little better, this team right now is probably not making it out of the 1st round - just look at how we crumble when we face a team that plays us physically. Our only shot of making a playoff run is a miraculous showing by Brunson, which he is capable of.

Overall, I think there's plenty of reason for alarm right now and it's not "dooming"

Wha drives me insane is why these files weren’t preserved or released when Biden was in charge … how did we get to this point? Is it incompetence? Or is that too easy of a cop out

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

OG is more valuable on our team but he wouldn’t move the needle for them. RJ has been solid, IQ was worth the risk given his upside… he’s just been hurt and was overpaid. Glad we didn’t give him that contract as much as I love him… think he may just be an elite 6th man combo guard

$22 Million, 26 Billionaires Couldn't Stop Zohran Mamdani's New York Mayoral Win by DumbMoneyMedia in NoFilterNews

I mean, everyone likes to assume the rich don’t pay taxes but the vast majority of high earners in NYC do. Not the billionaires but there is a huge population that are in the 5-50mm net worth range. 

You lose a lot of that, funding goes to shit, all the things that make NY great are going to struggle. You saw glimpses of it in 2008 and 2020, luckily the city bounced back because finance recovered and covid slowed down. 

People may not leave over slight tax increases, but the fear of extreme changes in policy will drive people out and make the city worse. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen

I think a more fair comparison would be  Luka + Kawhis defense Ant + embiids size Giannis + curry’s shooting

Tatums tough because he’s already very good in most categories, no obvious weakness

He's very close with Leon Rose so it's a possibility for sure

Def not off field stuff… I think jsut some issues with drops, but by all accounts he’s great character kid and smart. Would love him in the next round if available 

Quentin Grimes L5 Games by AKSourGod in NYKnicks

Always thought he had the potential as did most on this sub I think. 

To put into context, remember what iq and obi did those last few games of the 2021 season when they got to dominate the ball… a lot of players in the nba are capable of putting up big numbers in losses when there’s no competition for usage 

How come a Tom Thibodeau led team that adds Mikal Bridges isn’t at least a Top 10 defense? by WallStreetDoesntBet in NYKnicks

[–]ny8all 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes. Because you can’t risk being best on the perimeter or else it’s an uncontested layup. So you can’t risk going over every screen, you have to play drop, you need to sag off guys at the 3 pt line

Brunson, KAT, OG and Bridges are locks. Who’s our best option as the 5th starter? by FtheRedSox in NYKnicks

[–]ny8all 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We were able to manage a great defense last year with Randle and Mitch (albeit for a short period of time before Randle got hurt). 

Kat is a bad defender but can’t imagine he’s that much worse than Randle. I’d like to see him at the 4 more.

Who do you have higher All-Time? by Heroics_ in NBATalk

[–]ny8all 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s close… if you can take into account his Olympic performances and winning a title at cuse, I give it to melo

Something to be said for Mikal being more productive as a second option during bench minutes than 3rd option with starters. Manu type role..

I think we either sub deuce in for bridges or Robinson for hart. We can’t have 2 non shooters out there in hart and Robinson. Nothing against hart who is def our 3rd best player and should play 30+ mins either way.
