Official '24 NYK playoffs thread: east semifinals vs Indy

[don ramon]

starting to think all these trade rumors is leon rose putting out press releases to make dolan think he's been hard at work

2 firsts for og? how did he become this hot commodity though?

why is this team intent on building around tom thibodeau more than the needs of the team itself?

If they see Thibs as the long term solution at HC, it make sense to bring guys that play to Thibs coaching strengths.

 

[don ramon]

and even when tom thibodeau gets what he wants he STILL manages to use those acquisitions incorrectly. it's a skill at this point. i'm convinced

I'm off the OG train at anything more than 1 FRP and fillers (Obi, IQ).

Price is way too high for a United Kingdom PJ Tucker. Deep dive into his offensive stats and they're horrible.

 

[keko jones]

I don't know who is this guy .. i mean I seen him play a few times, but I never seen the current hype for a role player ... with the asking price I would think he be an AllStar or close to one ...

Is he?

 

[ballinsam23]

He's a top 2 perimeter defender that can guard 1-5 in the league that's also shown to hit the 3 ball.

Basically 3 and D, but I think Mikal Bridges is better.

Outside of hitting an open 3, he's horrible at creating his own shot which is why these trade packages seem ridiculous

High level 3 and D wing. Arguably the best perimeter defender in the league, probably the most versatile defender in the league.

Not worth 3 first rounders though.

 

[jayocampo]

Timberwolves really effed up the trade market in the NBA. Unbelievable. OG would've never been worth that before the Gobert trade.

 

[floodarea]

if the rumors about OG are true it just screams leon desperately trying to compensate for not landing mitchell this summer more than actually building a team based on needs

OG is cool but he’s not moving the needle at all with the way this team is currently constructed

 

[ballinsam23]

Its a Thibs move.

We shouldn't be trying to appease a coach (ex: trading Obi, trading for OG, etc) when he won't even be here next year after we get swept in the first round.

cant wait for lebron to score 117 points to become the all time leading scorer at the garden

 

[nick.]

too much Randle right now

Quickley has really turned his season around

Quickley has really turned his season around

I’ll wait.

Too much season left.

I’ll wait.

Too much season left.

True there's still a good amount of games left but his averages are finally back to a respectable level and he's been a deadeye over the past 10 games especially.

No doubt. He’s been good lately.

 

[floodarea]

might be an unpopular opinion but this black court design kinda sucks

 

[airmax1fanatic]

stop dribbling the ball so long, no handle randle

 

[Coupé It]

It’s absolute ***. You’re not alone here.

Especially the mid court Knicks logo.

 

[airmax1fanatic]

IQ can legit be a great starter..

 

[nick.]

Grimes is great at attacking closeouts. Quick first step & very decisive.

 

[ilike turtles]

this black Knicks court makes me sick

 

[njavier03]

IQ is doing well bc he’s coming off the bench. If he starts, he’ll be just like Grimes and RJ either standing in the corner or hunting for a shot.

MSG crowd doesn't pop like it used too
