Game thread: New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs Wemby (8th Game)
- Thread starter Kiyaman
- Start date
Great Game for the Knicks in the First quarter, Barrett & Grimes & Mitch are hot .. 2 min remain in quarter Knicks 28 -Spurs 12
Upset at Hart for not throwing the ball to Grimes a head of everyone on a 2-1 fast break. Hart throws the ball to Randle in back of him on a fast break Randle commits a turnover. I know Randle cant score on fast break unless no defenders. Thibs seen Grimes face and took him out the game.
End of First Quarter .. Knicks 33 - Spurs 16

When the team is clicking it is really fun to watch..... but tbh, i think the team is better than last year on Offence(even with the struggles) and on defense

In the 188 minutes RJ Barrett has logged this season the Knicks are:
* scoring 113.6 points per 100 possessions (highest individual OffRtg on the team)
* allowing just 98.7 points (lowest individual DefRtg on the team).
That sums to an eye-popping Net Rating of +14.8.
The Knicks have outscored their opponents by 50 points in the 188 minutes RJ has been on the floor this season.
The Knicks have been outscored by 15 points in the 196 minutes he hasn’t played.
Not just 1 game sample at home vs a young team. Dude just 23. RJ at 25 could be something.

There is nothing electric, Transformative or can Move the Needle that RJ bring to the table.
You had to play this BUM at the expense of the greater good of the team.
It took 4 years plus to get to this point and where is the Championship??
The spend a #3 overall pick for an average player.
That is the problem nobody in here knows the value of a pick that high…, SAD!!

Great win for the Knicks! JB unbelievable and RJ taking the next step even though I wish he drove the ball more. And somehow Dumb Raider strikes again. Mods ban this troll. Can we make a poll to vote this fool off the board??

He’s clueless. He would have traded down and grabbed Cam Redish and Hero or something. There was no missed opportunity, this wasn’t like drafting Knox over SGA or Knitty over Donovan Mitchell. Are KNicks worse off bc they took RJ over Garland?
RJ has been available and professional. Doesn’t have the physical gifts of Ja or Zion, but he’s more dedicated, mature, and professional than those cats. RJ at 25 is gonna be special. I’ve been saying it since we drafted him and he’s on that trajectory.
Thibbs has brought this team back from a laughingstock and delivered a 4th seed and a 5th seed and playoff series win. Team was in the game in the 4th Q last year… Game 6… and a few breaks away from Conf finals.
Rose hasn’t impressed but he’s still ten times the GM Phil “the nap” Jax was.

Wsup Chief .. Let Dark be .. He was right about one thing thou, "You had to play RJ Barrett at the expense of the greater good of the team.". Without RJ Barrett performance in the last two games we would've probably be on a 4 game losing streak. From a Clippers team without any PF on the roster this season, and from a Spurs team having tier 4 guards in the starter lineup.
Remember .. Coach Thibs did nothing bout Randle & Brunson's ball selfishness towards teammates, plus Thibs decrease the game rotation to 8 players in the two games without Barrett.
The Clippers game became a winner from our 4 bench player and Barrett 2nd unit lineup going on a 16-4 run to start the 4th quarter.

That’s called rebuilding and developing…. Playing the kids to let them endure growing pains.
This is what they are doing with Grimes right now. He’s not exactly playing well but you endure and hope you bank equity down the road.
“At the expense of the team.” ???
What does that mean?
What team? Are we talking about Evan and Kemba and Burks? RJ got burn at their expense?

There are things I say to those that know something about BB (even Real BB). Of course, I get the ones that seem to have never step on a BB court less alone dribbled a bb ball.
There are certain things you know about game that if you know, you don’t ask stupid or dumb questions.
There terms and terminology that you just know….if you know!!
To those that ask those questions… If you don’t know just keep quiet and hide stupidity and dumbness.

Com'on Dark, you not mentioning anything bout the Nova-Knicks, or how the performance of our Centers MitchRob & Hartenstein are important in the frontcourt to be an above .500 team.
Or Grimes patient role in the starter lineup.
Or Tomorrow game against the Hornets will be a easy Knicks win having our centers and Bully-ball Randle.
The reason for the majority of Knicks losses are on our head coach Thibs substitution in a 8 or 9 man rotation.

I can’t pull for this team under no circumstances!! For the first time in my life there is simply nothing there and I been a fan a very long time.
Correct Kiya about the Nova players. Whoever or whomever made this decision must have a college bb mine and have forgotten this is the NBA. There aren’t very many college teams that I would reassemble and could compete in the real NBA but this isn’t. Even saying that Nova isn’t one of them.
As for MRob and Stein there isn’t much to say about either. MRob still has no jumper and Stein is no more than a backup left handed center. HOORAY
Grimes has stop trying to prove he deserves to start and play. He isn’t shooting everything that touches his hands.
As for the loses there should be more. Clippers game for one but it early. The that most intrigue me was the Spurs game. Kiya that was a great barometer/ measuring stick for the Knicks. This was the youngest team in the NBA and saw more promise in than in the Knicks. Even in there mistakes and turnovers I saw something good.
Now I asked you about what Barkley said on national television about the Knicks and KAT.
Now there is an obvious problem with what he said about a trade. So tell me what you think.
