It?s funny how one game completely changes the narrative. Fanbase suddenly very positive on Cam Reddish after last night.
What happened is exactly what Thibs said would happen. It?s a long season. Players get hurt. Guys will get their chance.
Truth be said .. the Knicks played a much-much better game without RJ Barrett in the rotation. The Knicks outscored the GSW in the first-quarter (33-28) and in the 3rd quarter (31-20), those are the 2 main quarters the Knicks have been getting outscored on throughout the season to have 31 losses in 55 games. Plus the Knicks did not crawl under the bus or panic at crunch time last night, they played like winners fouling Curry, and ready for overtime if Klay hit the shot.
The Knicks should've traded RJ Barrett for Cam Reddish, and kept their first round pick to have something to improve the future.
This will be my 3rd season saying, "RJ Barrett is not a NBA starter, nor an above 30 minute a game player." !!!
