We need to be playing Sims at least 10 minutes a night from day 1. With Towns and Mitch’s recent injury history, I want Sims to be able to slot in if something happens late in the season.
I love DD, but bringing in KAT gives us the best chance to win a championship. There are no half measures. Everyone thought the Celtics were crazy for trading for KP last year.
We played really well with Deuce starting at the 2. I don't think he'll be a PG much, except to give JB a breather bringing the ball up and allowing him to get off-ball screens
Do you remember How Woodman started Anthony Booner started for our 54win team his job was to protect Carmelo when he played the 4 He never finished games just protected Carmelo. We need to protect both KAT and OG with Simms to start never to Finish
When Mitch gets back he is starting center with Kat at 4 , so Thibs starts game with Sims at center and Kat at 4 , with Sims subbed out first with Kat going to center and Precious at 4
I won’t post about minutes but the starting 5 Brunson PG Bridges SG OG SF Precious PF Towns C I think playing OG at the 4 playing extended minutes with his injury history would be a mistake. I think that although Bridges is the better player, Donte was a better fit at the 2 than Bridges will be. Not to mention Bridges is really a 3. I think Payne gets the nod at backup PG because he is a true PG. Deuce isn’t a PG but rather a small 2. I think Shamet will get a good amount of playing time at the 2. He has the prototypical 2 size at 6’4 or 6’5 and the smaller backcourt of Brunson and McBride is an issue. I also think we still need a center and another shot creator. I understand the trade for Towns, but I was against what we gave up for Bridges who in my opinion is a role player. As such losing iHart and Donte will have a greater impact than what we realize. So much so even with the addition of Towns & Bridges I don’t think we win 50 + this season and I think we’re #5 in the east behind Boston, Philly, Indiana, Milwaukee and then Knicks. I know that’s not popular but I think the aforementioned teams have more continuity then our Knick team and player for player they have more talent.
The idea that Thibs is this huge minutes coach is kinda dated at this point. The Knicks only had Brunson in the top 10 in minutes last year, even with all the injuries. With depth on the team (prior to the Randle/OG injuries) Hart was averaging 28 mins a game.
@@LockedOnKnicks Good point but I'm not saying he will play Hart for no reason. Who else is the dependable rebounder in the starting unit? Without Mitch and Randle, Thibs will depend on Hart a lot.
He averaged 29 MPG over the first 50 games last year before the injuries hit, different roster obviously but I think they're going to try not to over tax anyone during the regular season.
@@LockedOnKnicks My bet is that Precious comes off the bench to start the year and then if Towns is constantly being blown by for layups we will see KAT + Precious in the starting 5 real quick. Thibs isn't going to trade a good defense for 5 out. I'm hoping the growth KAT showed defending in the playoffs last year is real and it doesn't come to that but I think we will have a top 5 offense regardless even if Precious has to start.

Anthony Bonner last played in the 90s lol
Bro you bugging. You're talking about Anthony Bonner, and I don't remember him playing with Melo. Kenyon Martin was his protector
My bad it was Ronnie Brewer for short period of time not Anthony Bonner
We still need to get OG off 4 and provide muscle to protect KAT at 5
@@trevoncash it was Ronnie Brewer

Hart only playing 30 mins and Thibs coaching?? LMAO
Thibs understands winning basketball and values rebounds too much for that to happen.

Come back to this comment when Tyler Kolek cracks the rotation! Watch 😤
Shamet going to be the best Landry to play for the Knicks
Start Deuce fr
I'm still considering that Mitch is on the roster. And Precious can't shoot. He's strictly off the bench.
No, sims at center to start. Precious of the bench
I'd be stunned if they started Sims with everyone health
Start precious at the 5!
Definitely a look that I'm very intrigued to see this preseason to see how it works
