Agreed but using the depth will always be the question here. That and how far Thibs will go into the bench. I'd like to see a consistent 10 but I doubt we'll see that now. But it's good to have that talent waiting for you on the bench.
It's early enough in the season to play the bench and let them get comfortable, in sync, and in a flow. It will help to boost their confidence. Bottom tier teams should have the bench starting, but Thibs will never adopt that concept. He's so set in his ways and unwilling to step out of his comfort zone, it makes the Knicks stagnant sometimes.
Knicks don't have a problem if Mitch is #2 at 14m a year, in fact it's a steal. The dude is only 26. That said, he might have suspect shins, but as soon as he is healthy he is the strongest dude in the league. All he needs is a hypnotist. I personally think, when healthy, he is unique, similar to Rodman and as soon as he is back, we are back to an easy 50 rebounds a game, which translates to mucho wins:)
The problem is we never know when he's healthy. So hearing "as soon as he's healthy", it's just a reminder that that's what we always are waiting on. Thanks for watching!
@TheKnicksRecap UNLESS THE LEON ROSE DOES THE UNTHINKABLE AND TRADES K.A.T. FOR YUNNIAS. AND THE KNICKS WILL HAVE AN ABOUSTLY SUPER DANGEROUS FRONT LINE OF ROBINSON OG AND YUANNIS JUST MIGHT BE THE DANGEROUS DEFENSIVE FRONT LINE THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN
Mitchell Robinson’s return❤ can only be a plus for KAT as he can slide into the 4 while adding Rim Protection and offensive rebounding to the equation not to dismiss that the defense will be better as a fan I look forward to seeing this lineup adding Mitch I believe this team can be playoff bound for sure. Adding Josh Hart to Mobb Deep bringing that type of energy and depth can propel this team to play at a higher level of professional basketball. Go Knicks!!!!!!!!!
You see the difference with and without Mitch. They dont dominate without a Mitch like player on the roster dedicated to rebounds, blocks and interior presence… We get bullied without him
I just feel like it's common sense the defense won't be the same with KAT at the 5 and no Mitch or Hartenstein 😂🤷🏾♂️. No Mitch, no Precious...what did anyone expect? The team will not be the team it's going to be without a defensive anchor in the paint. We need to have a little bit of patience and drop the hunt to trade Mitch.
The funny part here is, we all know what KAT brings. Who he is and who he isn't. But still, it's hard not to get disappointed when you see other teams constantly attacking inside. Something we really haven't seen the past few seasons. Thanks for watching!
@@TheKnicksRecapI get it man. I'm disappointed too. But hang in there. After all, the Cavs are 10-0 😂😂. None of this shit is really how things will shake out. With health, we'll be right where we expect to be 💯
Thibs is gonna go with the players he can trust. The starting 5 is still building chemistry and it’s only 8 games and the fan base knows more than the front office.
I don’t care if Sims shoots and misses. He just needs to shoot!! At some point he’ll at least get into some kind of scoring mode. Show that you’re some kind of threat inside. It’s definitely frustrating to see him dribble under the hoop and kicking it out for an even harder shot- not even considering shooting. He’s got the ability. Let’s go!!
He doesn't even look at the basket at times. Boils my blood. At his size, catching it in the low post. AND DOING NOTHING. Sigh. I'll never understand it. Play Hukporti.
The problem is not the KAT trade it’s not being able to sign Hartenstein and the Mitch injury . Having Towns over Randle is a no brainer. And I still feel that this is the Third best starting five in basketball
Towns is too slow moving his feet on defense and plays with his hands down too much when someone attacks him especially with his low drop. Just play up on the roll.
First off Thibbs Doesn’t play rookies. They have to earn their minutes. Kolek is only getting time because Payne is hurt. Second we have two new players in the starting lineup. This team has to Jell. Add on to the fact that we are missing players like Auchiwa, Shamet and Robinson. Once Auchiwa and Shamet are back the depth will be fine. Knicks were 3-4 this time last year. Knicks teams take times before the defense is on point. That’s always how’s it’s been.
I understand why we drafted Dadier. (Cap reasons) and I like Kolek, but it seems like we could have drafted Filipowski. I was sure we were going to to draft the best available big. It’s annoying.
The Knicks are struggling against switch heavy teams cause Jalen doesn’t play make vs them well, he’s too busy playing iso basketball too much. He has a big man in towns who can roll to the 3 or even roll into the paint and good at play making, Jalen has to step it up and set his teammates up.
I think Jalen Brunson is getting better understanding where players want the ball on the floor. If he can start finding his offense, it's gonna be over for the league. Thanks for watching!
I would have preferred to let Mitch go and keep Frankenstein if it could have been done. The main reason being is Frankenstein stayed on the court. Give the bench some time, it's early, it isn't crunch time, find out what you have. IF we make the playoffs we know what we have. I still have not seen enough of Precious to.....I would not be surprised if Mitch sits out the whole season? Sims is not allowed to shoot. That was a good presentation, thank you.
Dragon, always a pleasure hearing from you! Agreed with IHart over Robinson. But unfortunately, we only have the players we have. When Robinson comes back, he'll certainly help for as long he can stay healthy. But I think NY wouldn't hesitate to make a move for the right center if one should be available. Thanks for watching! 💯
We have a lot of scorers now vs Houston we had to post up cat against brooks and who ever sangun was guarding had to attack him who ever. Green was guarding had to attack him we have a lot of players that can get buckets attack the mismatch that’s all Boston’s does , JB has to let go of the ball sooner like he did against the bucks that’s how he has to play . Let Mikal run extra mins with the second unit also .
JB was getting a lot of players involved yesterday. If he was more efficient, that would have been on of his better games of the early season. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾🔥
Our fans we miss one player they should not add to the trade two Minnesota our best defensive player who hit big shots last year to win that Phil playoff game the third Villanova that they sent to Minnesota
🔸️ By the time we reach the 25-30 game mark, we’ll have a clearer sense of how far the Knicks can go this season. I'm hoping for a strong journey ahead! 🔹️
There's no problem or issues with them offensively. The problem is the Knicks front office teased with allowing the need to win and flirting with the need that there fans some... Want to have to win .. It happened.. Now now one asked the players... It wasn't a team vote on what the team thought they needed to win ... Plus the fact that I might be the only one that is not of necromancy physically nor with a pen... Now!!! You have to deal with the win they want to show what you think you deserve... And that's the up hill battle because they could match last year win total and win the Atlantic... Possible NBA Finals Championship... And necromancy wise it could look ugly... No one said who sent Jack and Jill to get the water .. Yet we know whose asz bounced over the pale... It's like preaching You can over kill a microphone and if the Knicks Defense will and is the only thing that can save the Knicks if they don't want to show people play book chemistry!!!
They get dnps because they aren’t good enough to crack the 8. Troy you clearly want to go back to .500 basketball. with what your proposing. Watch the Isiah years and the dantoni years if you want to watch development basketball.
Thibbs is a horrible coach.. he has no real offensive scheme. This is why we will continue to struggle and need to play starters 40+ minutes a game. Thibbs refuses to play more than 7 players regardless of how far ahead we might be. Our defense is not picking up early enough and switching way too much. It looks lazy and sloppy. I see cross court passes being picked up for easy points on the other end. I see players with the ball who have no idea what they are going to do next. This is a clear indication of a lack of preparation. Everyone says Thibbs is a defensive coach, I don't see it..
If Mitchell Robinson is willing to accept his role as a backup Center maybe for less money 💰. Perhaps the Knicks are willing to keep Robinson. He stays "healthy" through the playoffs.
@mikesaunders9493 The Knicks don't trust Robinson's health status, plus he can only play defense and rebound (defense & offense). He can't shoot, only slam dunks. More likely Robinson will be traded or cut next year. If the Knicks are willing to keep Robinson for a cheap price as a backup Center. That's it.
Precious and Mighty Mitch will make us a very deep Team. Especially with the emergence of Kolek and return of Payne.
The ever optimistic Knicks fan!
Agreed but using the depth will always be the question here. That and how far Thibs will go into the bench. I'd like to see a consistent 10 but I doubt we'll see that now. But it's good to have that talent waiting for you on the bench.
Yeah I really like Koleck
It's early enough in the season to play the bench and let them get comfortable, in sync, and in a flow. It will help to boost their confidence. Bottom tier teams should have the bench starting, but Thibs will never adopt that concept. He's so set in his ways and unwilling to step out of his comfort zone, it makes the Knicks stagnant sometimes.
Definitely need to play the bench more. It would help us now and later.
Knicks don't have a problem if Mitch is #2 at 14m a year, in fact it's a steal. The dude is only 26. That said, he might have suspect shins, but as soon as he is healthy he is the strongest dude in the league. All he needs is a hypnotist. I personally think, when healthy, he is unique, similar to Rodman and as soon as he is back, we are back to an easy 50 rebounds a game, which translates to mucho wins:)
It's a steal if he ever plays
The problem is we never know when he's healthy. So hearing "as soon as he's healthy", it's just a reminder that that's what we always are waiting on. Thanks for watching!
This is the most impatient fan base ever. Give it time. We need to gel and we need to get our guys back. Mitch and precious will make a big difference
WHEN MITCHELL ROBINSON COMES BACK K.A.T. WILL BE A LOT BETTER
I think the defense overall will be a lot better. KAT as a free roamer is absolutely dangerous. Thanks for watching!
@TheKnicksRecap UNLESS THE LEON ROSE DOES THE UNTHINKABLE AND TRADES K.A.T. FOR YUNNIAS. AND THE KNICKS WILL HAVE AN ABOUSTLY SUPER DANGEROUS FRONT LINE OF ROBINSON OG AND YUANNIS JUST MIGHT BE THE DANGEROUS DEFENSIVE FRONT LINE THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN
That’s a scary thought cause he’s playing great now
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING
Fans forget what a force Mitch is on defense and on the offensive glass!!!! And Precious excels when he can play the 4!!
When precious gets back mite have to play him with Kat together and let hart play more mins with the second unit also
Mitchell Robinson’s return❤ can only be a plus for KAT as he can slide into the 4 while adding Rim Protection and offensive rebounding to the equation not to dismiss that the defense will be better as a fan I look forward to seeing this lineup adding Mitch I believe this team can be playoff bound for sure. Adding Josh Hart to Mobb Deep bringing that type of energy and depth can propel this team to play at a higher level of professional basketball.
Go Knicks!!!!!!!!!
I hope this is the move Thibs ends up doing. But can never predict what he'll do. Thanks for watching!
Precious and Mitch will help when they get back .
Absolutely, but they can't fix everything. We still need to gel as a team. Thanks for watching!
Minnesota is seeing why Julius randle was traded he plays defense when he wants to play and yet sometimes heat the score on you 30 in a game
GOTTA give Mitch one more chance!
Knicks look like they might do that, given the need for the Roster. But it will be ateast until January before we can even see it.
You see the difference with and without Mitch.
They dont dominate without a Mitch like player on the roster dedicated to rebounds, blocks and interior presence…
We get bullied without him
And if?.....
I agree here! Give him another chance!
Why give Mitch another chance when he's usually unavailable for game play? I just don't get it. Please explain and help me to understand.
Just put Precious at the 4 and OG back to 3 and Kat will be fine
If we can do that during the time when Precious comes back, I'd like to see how that looks. I'm sure Thibs does too.
We got a good one in James.
We absolutely did! Thank you for watching.
I just feel like it's common sense the defense won't be the same with KAT at the 5 and no Mitch or Hartenstein 😂🤷🏾♂️. No Mitch, no Precious...what did anyone expect?

Sidenote: Sims is NOT IT. They need to move on
Wemby and Giannis would be one of the most ridiculous combos ever
Absolutely insane. Didn't expect to hear that one.

We'll look better once we gain more chemistry and get more bigs back.
Towns is too slow moving his feet on defense and plays with his hands down too much when someone attacks him especially with his low drop. Just play up on the roll.

My expectations for the Knicks this season is not what it was last season. I think we are toast. I'll give us 35-40 wins this season. Not good
Mitch play 7 games and stay injured for another 77 games
This is how I always feel too.
Our fans we miss one player they should not add to the trade two Minnesota our best defensive player who hit big shots last year to win that Phil playoff game the third Villanova that they sent to Minnesota

That's very true, hoping for the best with this team. I think we have the chance to go on a real win streak here.

I hate Knicks have started the season off slow
Same but 4-4, it could be worse. But the problem is, we expected so much better. Thanks for the comment!
@@TheKnicksRecap your welcome
We too fluke loses away from being 6-2 relax
They get dnps because they aren’t good enough to crack the 8.
Troy you clearly want to go back to .500 basketball. with what your proposing. Watch the Isiah years and the dantoni years if you want to watch development basketball.
I want to use the bench we have. And use them earlier when we can. No one is saying anything else lol.

Appreciate you and all of your support! Thanks so much again!

All Pat Riley students play 7 man Rotation, that's the problem. Van Gundy's, Eric Spolstera, Thibs, 🤷🏽♂️
Expanding the rotation is a must. I hope that happens sooner rather than later. But he seems content playing 7 consistently.
Am not panicking a lot of teams who are winning now by Midseason. Lottery picks Mark my words. Houston Rockets 🚀 a Fluck Team Guaranteed.
I think NY has a chance to go on a win streak!
FIRE THIBS
This beat writer doesn't know what he's talking about. He need to take his ssa back to Detroit.
FIRE THIBS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
If Mitchell Robinson is willing to accept his role as a backup Center maybe for less money 💰. Perhaps the Knicks are willing to keep Robinson. He stays "healthy" through the playoffs.
Mitch needs to be the starter bro.
@mikesaunders9493 The Knicks don't trust Robinson's health status, plus he can only play defense and rebound (defense & offense). He can't shoot, only slam dunks. More likely Robinson will be traded or cut next year. If the Knicks are willing to keep Robinson for a cheap price as a backup Center. That's it.
The Knicks need to change the lineup, they need to bench Hart, and start Sims or Ariel Hukporti
I don't think they'll do that given Harts impact on the floor. But they should be getting more minutes out of Hukporti.
I disagree with you! But, You said it correctly... Randle is better than Towns so far as a Knick. A good player for a good player... But Will he be...
