Game Thread 4/6 7:30 Knicks vs Brooklyn in MSG ESPN

Thibs and his trio lineup Barrett Burks and Fournier ???
Putting McBride in for 1 min SMH

I will not miss this season and our never ending 2nd half choke jobs.

Knicks currently with 10th worst record in NBA but basically in dead heat for 10th through 12th.

38-16 4th is what happens when you have a backup wing as your starting Pg, running show in 4th and opponent has HOF PG Kyrie Irving.

Hey, we would be 50 win team if games stopped after 3 quarters.

Well, you could Give-Thanks to coach Thibs and his Trio Lineup (RJ Barrett, Burks, and Fournier) playing time throughout the season for all the Knicks 2nd half, and 4th quarter collapse to make our season a LOTTERY-season.
Plus coach Thib's 7 Man rotation tonight vs coach Nash 10 man rotation !!!

Barrett's 45 min and 7-27 FG shooting make u question the Knicks coaching staff three times bout his minutes.
Fournier's 29 min and 3-9 FG shooting make u question him as a team scorer.
Burk's 38 min and 7-14 FG shooting make u say one out of three is not gonna make it.
The above three players does not belong in a lineup together, unless the PLAN are TANKING!

McBride 7 minutes, were spose to receive 20 to 28 minutes of playing time tonight.

Yes! Go back to Regionals vs Mich St and coach K told him to KEEP shooting?

When he?s off he kills your offense with his barrage of brick 3s. It?s imperative he improve his efficiency if he wants to take that next step. He also needs to be more active in defense with the counting stats like steals and blocks.

He?s 21? the trajectory is on pace? but, this must improve significantly over the next 2 seasons.

This is for the sure the best line of the Knicks Online forum to define this season.

Simms play last night almost sealed MRob?s fate. Watch a sign and trade between DAL? MRob for Brunson

MitchRob's a KEEPER! And happen to be the Knicks best consistent player in the starter lineup this season. A lot of MitchRob's antics on court this season were to get rookie Sims some playing time to help coach Thibs poor-poor transition-defense from starters Randle/Fournier/Burks/Barrett.
And please don't mention RJ Barrett's performance as a starter/finisher, unless it's about Barrett's performance in all 6 of the Knicks 20 pt lead games turning into a Knicks loss. Like tonight's game!
Barrett were a BUST throughout the 2nd half of the game tonight, playing 45 min, and losing a 23 pt lead.

Dark Raider comments on RJ Barrett's performance has to be true, because RJ Barrett still haven't found a ROLE on the Knicks in 3 seasons.
And the coach hasn't been any help finding Barrett a role on the Knicks.

Randle found his role as the Knicks (half-court offense) PG.
Randle's transition game as a PG leads to turn-overs.
Randle as the PF rarely throws a lob-pass to start a fast break after grabbing a defensive rebound.

The 6.6 30 yr old Burks role on the Knicks were set as the 9th man in the rotation last season coming off the bench in a 2nd unit lineup having D.Rose & Quickley's transition backcourt, plus Obi Toppin's speed & hops.

The 6.6 29 yr old Fournier is complicated .. I'm like Udoka and the rest of the Celtics coaching staff that couldn't find a role for Fournier to back-up D.Brown or Tatum.
