This is way too early in the season to have both Hart and Grimes complaining about their roles.

Yeah, there’s friction there. Probably DiVo’s minutes, and also Brunson being a shoot first pg.

Quentin Grimes was openly frustrated with his role just now. Said it’s tough to find a rhythm when he rarely touches the ball, stands in the corner and gets subbed out after missing one shot.— Stefan Bondy (@SbondyNBA) December 6, 2023

Finally he demonstrates an ego! That’s actually great news.

Grimes issue is that for a guy who’s only real contribution is 3pt shooting.. is that he doesn’t actually shoot it all that well…. for a guy who’s 3par is like in the 70s… with an assisted fg% in the 70s… that’s a 3pt specialist and those guys should be shooting in the 40s… he never really shot the ball well enough at the line to reliably get there…

and like maybe his defense is good.. but his other box score contributions is too microscopic to tolerate that level of non participation when he’s asked to put it on the floor… donte is good at 36% 3s for his career because he contributes elsewhere and it shows……. if grimes shoots 36% he should be in spain or france….

‘Quentin Grimes was openly frustrated with his role just now.’

Trade him to the Pacers for a jar of mayonnaise!

The worst part about Grimes’ quote is that he’s specifically going against quotes from Thibs where he harps alot about shooting when you’re open and not passing up shots. He specifically praised DDV the other night about never hesitating to shoot, I guess Grimes didn’t get the memo.

Mitch has been the bigger liability in a number of these games.

crazy talk, but perhaps true…

if the bucks shoot 40% on their 3s they still win… the knicks have had their share of games with impossible 3pt shooting also … sometimes the variance bug bites you back….

Knicks 12-4 when not playing Celtics or Bucks.
