Tonight we also had two of the West small-ball teams go at it, the Houston Rockets vs GS Warrior ....
The GS Warriors took the (Cup) Game win down to the final seconds having Curry with the ball.
What does that mean ....
The Houston Rockets won the game 91-90 to go to Vegas for the tournament Cup.
We need a change in rotation players from 7 to 10 players.
We need KAT at the 4 spot tutoring Sims or Hukporti in the starter lineup.
We need to play Precious at the 4 spot too, so both Sims & Hukporti receive playing time each game before midseason games.
Josh Hart belongs in a 2nd unit

The Hawks last night showed up all the weaknesses of this newly formed Knicks team.
1. Kiya, your view on that Brunson was too short to handle the PG. That at some point this would become a problem. I think it’s been shown a few times in the past but last night was very clear.
2. The Power forward position needs to be addressed.
3. SG Bridges looked to have disappeared in 3rd and 4th quarters.
**For the record…. I was never in favor of Brunson and Bridges. I would have preferred Ivey & Murray. This would have been a bigger backcourt.
4. Thib’s was simply out coach last night. No on the ball defense NOR did he single out defending any Hawks players. The Hawks single out Brunson and look at the results. Thib’s never counter with his on strategy.
Knicks will see a big dose of bigger, taller, more athletic players on Brunson in important games. Will Bridges disappear in important games.
Rose or whomever gets credit for bringing in KAT & OG but leaving Brunson and bringing in Bridges are mistakes.

Kiya, the Knicks were out quick by Hawks wings.The Hawks have 22 offensive rebounds to our 12 second chance shots.
Do u think Tibbs should try my tandem bigman lineup now?
Sims & Towns then 2nd unit backup Hukporti & Precious
Rebounds .. Knicks 49 - Hawks 58
Assists .. Tied 27
Bench points - Knicks 14 pts - Hawks 43 pts
Quick question- wasn’t that kid Johnson passed up by the Knicks in the draft??

YES! The Knicks traded our 20 pick in the draft, when we badly needed a young 6.8 SF for the 3 spot.
Coach Tibbs refuse to give our 6.9 SF Knox any playing-time during the 2020-21 season. to become our backup for our 6.7 starter SF Blaylock.
We needed a young 6.8 SF for the 3 spot named Jalen Johnson to run alongside Quickley & Obi Toppin transition performance off the bench having veteran star tutor PG Derrick Rose leadership in the Knicks 2nd unit lineup for the Knicks 2021-22 season.
When assistant coach Mike Woodson quit 2 weeks before the end of the 2020-21 regular season, coach Tibbs rotation automatically decreased from a 10 man rotation to a losing 7 man rotation.
Coach Tibbs DNP Knicks starter PG Payton, plus decreased the two rookies playing time (Obi Toppin & Quickley) minutes less than double-digits in the game rotation.
Which caused the 3rd seed Knicks to have a 1-4 playoff loss to an Atlantic Hawks team the Knicks beat 4-0 in the regular season having coach Mike Woodson 10 man rotation.
In the 2021 Knicks offseason the Knicks Management made Big mistake, after big mistake, after big mistake.
1) Letting ex-Knicks HC Mike Woodson leave a second time.
2) Not selecting the positional player the Knicks team needed from the 2021 Draft, nor the FA market either.
3) Not resigning 6.7 SF Blaylock.
4) Management signed 2 FA players the Knicks HC Tibbs DNP throughout the season.
We selected 3 late round 2021 draft picks in 6.4 SG-Grimes, then 6.1 PG/SG McBride, and 6.11 C/F Jericho Sims.
Three potential rookie players coach Tibbs DNP throughout their 2021-22 rookie season.
