End of First Quarter .. Knicks 26 - Wolves 21
I wanna see Deuce & Kolec come off the bench.
Not interested in watching Payne and Shamet, I seen their tier 3 performance the past 2 seasons.
 
This is Jericho Sims 4th season in the NBA, and its Jericho first time on the court against opponent Gobert.
We really do need a coaching-staff change.
It's preseason, why the Knicks didn't start Jericho Sims vs Gobert?
The Knicks small ball lineup have the score Wolves 49 - Knicks 38
 
Half Time .. Knicks 55 - Wolves 57

My Knicks hitting consecutive 3's at the end of the quarter from Brunson, KAT, and OG got us back in the game .
Tibbs 3 guard offense will give us problems in the upcoming season vs .500 opponents.
OG 17 pts
Brunson 15 pts
Kat 9 pts
 
Tibbs 3 guard offense lineup (JB, Mikal, Hart) gave
Ant-Man & Gobert a early 10 pt lead to start the half
Knicks 55 - Wolves 65
 
Gobert played 28 minutes, and soon as he sits on the bench the Knicks still the lead.
KAT played 28 minutes too, and still on the court 83-85 Knicks lead.
Deuce with a 3 to make it 88-83 Knicks
 
End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 88 - Wolves 83
Brunson 24 pts .. 25 min
OG 19 pts .. 29 min
Kat 16 pts .. 29 min
Mikal 15 pts .. 29 min
 
I Like Deuce McBride, Precious, and Jericho in the lineup .. 107-98 Knicks, 4 min remain
After tonight game, no more Payne & Shamet in the Knicks preseason games.
 
Good Game in MSG Knicks 115 - Wolves 110

Seven Knicks players scored in double-figures (10 man rotation) in todays Knicks win!
The 4th qtr. bench lineup closed well ..
Shamet 13 pts
Payne 12 pts
Deuce 12 pts
Jericho 7 reb, 1 blk
Precious 4 pts, 5 reb

The dynamic chemistry of Brunson/Mikal/OG/and KAT are coming soon in the Regular-season.
What I would like to see in the Knicks next two preseason games is Knicks tandems working together on both sides of the court ....
OG & Mikal
KAT & Sims
KAT & Precious
Precious & Sims
Deuce & Kolec
 
Hey Kiya, Brunson shots to much and to much trying prove it his team. He isn’t changing his game to fit his teammates.
I’m not a Brunson fan and I don’t see a lot of chemistry between KAT and him.
Bridges seems lost sometimes in the offensive. He wasn’t my choice for SG.
PF is a problem and Hart isn’t the answer. He hasn’t looked good this preseason.

Payne has looked good in spots. Him and the center off the bench are left-handed. Thought we were getting away from lefty.

Good insight Dark .. Mikal's performance bothered me too.
Josh Hart does not belong in the same lineup having Mikal & OG.

KAT's more of a shooter .. so all KAT's playing time should be at the 4 spot tandem alongside center's Jericho, or Hukporti, or Precious in lineups.
We are just coming back from having a injury-prone roster season.
Why start the season off having KAT at the center position, and needing OG big-body at the 4 spot?
We played 3 straight preseason games having Josh Hart in the starter lineup getting in the spaces of Mikal & OG on offense & defense. Not good.
When the preseason games should be preparing Jericho & Hukporti for playing time minutes at center.
And preparing the Knicks backup bench players to co-exist in a lineup having McBride, Payne, Shamet, Kolec, Hart, Dadiet, Precious, Hukporti.
I would like to see Deuce & Kolec & Hart come off the bench alongside Precious & Hukporti as a 2nd unit lineup to start the regular season games.

Rick Brunson & Jalen Brunson took the Knicks on consecutive trips to the 2nd round of the playoffs, so it looks like the father and son are calling a lot of shots for the Knicks organization.
