On the Knicks 82 Games season?

How are the 2024-25 Knicks new starter 5 lineup working out?
How's the Knicks bench players working out?
How's the Knicks rookies working out?
How's the Knicks Offense? and Defense?
How's the Knicks rotation chemistry looking? One to ten, ten being outstanding.
Who like's the a 8 player game rotation this early in the season?
Who would rather a 9 or 10 man Knicks rotation each game to watch young-player improvement?

The Top 6 NBA Teams a week before 40 games into the season:

1) The 33-4 record Cleveland Cavs 33 wins before playing 40 games is Outstanding B.ball.
The Cavs only losses were to the Celtics, Miami Heats (having Butler), and the Atlanta Hawks.

2) The 31-6 record OKC Thunders 31 wins before playing 40 games are also Outstanding B.ball.
The missing Thunders star Chet Holmgren are 2 or 3 weeks away from returning to action will improve the Thunders impact during the midseason games.

3) The 27-11 record Boston Celtics have been holding tightly to defending their championship throughout their 38 games by winning 27 games.

4) The 25-12 record Houston Rockets have surprised all their 39 opponents in the 2024-25 season.
The Rockets young 10 man rotation have been dynamic at winning games throughout the season.
One missing piece for Rockets to get for a postseason rotation .. A Big-man (Jericho Sims or MitchRob)

5) The 26-14 record Memphis Grizzlies Super-Star & Player/Coach Ja Morrant, have 12 Grizz players on a high level of B.ball during the 2024-25 season. Holding above .600 record season in Nov. & Dec. having a 10 or 11 player rotation each game. The Grizz coaching-staff been developing above 11 players on their roster with consistent playing time minutes in the game-rotation since start of regular season.


6) The 25-14 record My Knicks got a super scoring starter 5 lineup. That's it.
What games I did watch in the Knicks 29 games played (first half of the season) ..
Poor team development, favoritism coaching, selfish-substitution, selfish playing-time, and a under-develope rotation by trying to fit 8 players into a lineup, not a rotation throughout the 39 games.
And our Knicks coaching-staff have been working well with only the Knicks starter 5 players, plus McBride.
Inconsistent Payne. PG
Inconsistent Shamet. SG
Inconsistent Sims. Center/F
Inconsistent Precious. PF

Maybe our Game Plan when Tibbs (or Captain) put Josh Hart in the Starter lineup, than maybe Mikal should have been coming off the bench alongside Deuce & Payne or Kolec for scoring off the bench in a game rotation.
Plus to rest Brunson for 16 or 20 minutes each game, to sit next to Hart resting for 16 or 20 minutes.
We don't have no twin-tower Plan with KAT yet, or any of our other Bigs on the roster.

The 25-16 record Knicks ....
What we have not had in our lineups and game-rotation in any of our Knicks 40 games played:
KAT and Sims as tandem twin-towers.
Precious and Hukporti as tandem rim protectors.
Deuce and Kolec as backcourt tandem guards.
Deuce and Payne and Dadiet trio backcourt lineup.
Deuce, Payne, Kolec, Precious, and Hukporti (All) bench-lineup.
We have been the 40 Minute Knicks team for 40 games!

The difference between the 40 Minute Knicks Team and the Cavs/OKC/Celtics/Rocs/Grizz are all those winning teams have 9 or more players receiving 15 or more minutes of playing-time in each game played throughout the first half of the season.

The 40 Minute Knicks up and down performance is not gonna improve.
Until the Knicks coaching staff add an all Knicks bench-lineup to the Knicks game rotation.
Plus give 9, maybe 10 Knicks players 14 or more minutes of playing time in the game rotation the next 10 Knicks games.
And No more 36 to 48 minutes of playing time a game for any Knicks player!
Our coaching-staff waisted 40 games preparing only 6 Knicks players how to co-exist in a lineup.
The 40 Minute Knicks team never establish a rotation this season, by only giving 3 bench players playing time each game.
We give Deuce 22 minutes
We give Precious 12 minutes
We give Payne 10 minutes
We give the 5 Knicks starters the rest of the minutes to become The 40 Minute Knicks Team !!!
