Also, the bench mob’s D was very porous in the 2nd half – Charlotte got their momentum to ultimately take the lead while they were on the court. Combine that with IQ tentative play and I think it’s understandable why the starters were rode hard in Q4 and OT.

No question RJ was bas last night, but I think he’s a bit better than 15-6-6 from a scoring standpoint. I don’t think I had an issue with his shot selection in the 2nd half, it’s just he blew those layups/gaffed the execution in situations he should’ve gotten good shots. Bigger issue I had was his defense.

I don’t know if he needs a coming to Jesus moment (maybe a good MrGo30 roasting lol), but he absolutely needs to watch the tape from last night a few times so he can make some adjustments.

He hasn’t done anything in his career that says he will be better than Grimes, Toppin, Quickley, or Reddish.

Assume your statement is pure basketball skill, ignoring contracts. Agree on the first 3 but…Reddish?

That RJ contract may end up being the worst Rose decision yet. The right move was to make him earn it this season. He hasn’t done anything in his career that says he will be better than Grimes, Toppin, Quickley, or Reddish. They should all be fighting for minutes. By giving RJ that contract, he now has to play.

Agreed, Max. I just asked in the other thread if the bot can be turned off the morning after a game. That, or maybe Brian should stop making post-game posts, and we just talk in the game thread until the bot turns on in the morning?

In reply to Alan.

I think RJ will be in All-Star consideration any season that the Knicks are decent, because All Star reserves are often picked for stupid reasons like pointz, and we all know how big averaging 20 points a game is to RJ.

I find the double threads after gameday very annoying…

For basketball reasons, Obi should want a trade. But… he is from New York, his mom lives here and comes to MSG to watch him play, he and IQ seem like the best of best friends, and he looks happy pretty much all the time, even when he’s riding the pine while Randle dribbles into oblivion.

I have to imagine his representatives are screaming for him to be traded. I just wonder if that’s what he would want.

Follow-up on Obi: Is he really *so* terrible on defense. He was 3/6, 3/4 from three, with 3 bounds and 2 assists in 13 minutes. He was literally the last Knick put in the game and the first one out for good (I’m pretty sure). I get the argument that he can’t create for himself, but he’s gotta be shaking his head.

No way last night would have been a 12 minutes for Derrick Rose night unless something else was going on.
