Spo: “You can’t leave anything to f’in chance w that team ever”
Spo is one of my favorite coaches in any sport ever. I remember being shocked when he was the guy that Riley picked to replace him…he kinda made his name as a video coordinator, and I never really looked deeply into his background at the time. Looking at his wikipedia page, I see that he played in college and then professionally in Germany. Here’s what Riles said upon hiring him:
I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a special affinity for Brunson, who in his own way was underestimated and had to work his way up the ranks to get the respect he deserved.

Edwards doing trade speculation. These were never his best columns when he was on the Detroit beat, and it feels like the only hugely useful bit of intel here is an obvious one: Knicks are calling around the league looking to unload Yabu. But his list of potential trade candidates does include Marvin Bagley, who has been discussed here a time or five this season.
Truly worried about our collective wellbeing now that Mitch hit 9 FTs in a row.
Assuming he is a true talent 50% shooter, there’s a 0.2% chance he would do this.
I hate to pile on the guy, but I struggle to see what Edwards does as a writer that I actually find useful as a reader (and subscriber). I suppose he can do human interest stories.
I honestly have not seen someone whose job is to cover basketball who has less awareness of what is actually happening on the court. The guy systematically overreacts to small samples, both in game (“x team is really struggling defensively” when opponent hits a few 3s in a row) and in season (“Knicks lost 3 in a row, should they completely redo their roster”). He’s like a game thread poster (me included). Plus he is so utterly humorless. And on X&Os, I can name 10 part time Knicks bloggers who have a better sense of what the team does tactically than the full time beat writer.
Can’t believe we used to have Fred Katz and now have to settle for this. It’s beneath this team to have such poor coverage from the hometown paper.
I think his human interest stories are very, very good. The rest of it is indeed a big bummer. Vorkunov was great. Fred was even better. Edwards is… not great. Fortunately, there’s other coverage by guys like Macri (for analysis) and Begley (for a genuinely informed sense of what the FO is thinking). But still.
I just want to take this moment to give thanks for one Mr. Jalen Marquis Brunson. I’m not sure NY has ever seen a star like this: so seemingly average in stature and build yet so abnormally mentally and physically attuned to the sport of basketball. If you want proof, look at last night’s Brunson highlights. His intuitive ability to make shots at his size is an incredibly rare thing, and guess what? HE’S ALL OURS.
The cool thing about Brunson, ess-dog, is that with only a few exceptions — the cream of the cream of the NBA crop, like Joker and SGA — I feel comfortable going into games that Brunson will be the best player on the court. I’m not sure I’ve ever had that feeling as consistently with a Knick as I have with Brunson. Ewing was incredible, a Hall of Fame, but there were always at least a couple of big men in the league who were better than him, plus various guards and wings. Melo was Melo, which was basically “we’ve got a superstar at home,” where there were games where he was clearly the best guy, and a lot of others where he was outplayed by someone on the other team.
Brunson is him, as the kids say.
So Mitch is basically a 50% FT shooter for his career on 762 attemps.
He’s now made TEN free throws in a row – the last 7 vs PHI and 3 last night.
The chances that a 50% shooter hits 10 in a row is 0.5 to the 10th power = 0.097% chance. Honestly pretty amazing. This stretch should be the top line item in this new shooting coach’s resume.
Would be crazy if there was just some little adjustment or note that the shooting coach gave Mitch that finally made it all click and he ends up settling into a decent FT shooter. Even if he got it up to like 60 or 70 percent, for a big man that isn’t horrible and would basically negate Hack a Mitch as a strategy. That would be a game changer.
I don’t know. Kolek emerging, mitch hitting free throws. Some of the obvious weaknesses of the team are slowly being addressed. All we need now is for Yabu to wake up (or just bite the bullet and make a trade to upgrade back up PF).
Meanwhile Andre Drummond is 15/36 from 3 this year. What world is this.
Drummond is really a good comp for Mitch in terms of shooting – he was a sub 40% FT shooter for the first 5 years of his career but over the last 5-6 years has been closer to 55-60%. I think the hack-a math doesn’t really work for the other team when you’re making close to 60% FTs (ORtg 120)
James Edwards is to Fred Katz as Mike Hale is to Alan S
Did anybody have the slightest clue as to the potential complete greatness of JB, when he was signed.
“I don’t know. Kolek emerging, mitch hitting free throws. Some of the obvious weaknesses of the team are slowly being addressed. All we need now is for Yabu to wake up (or just bite the bullet and make a trade to upgrade back up PF).”
also josh hart hitting 39 percent of his threes for the season
Anyone who says this is lying. The rosiest predictions — not just here, but across all of NBA fandom and media — suggested there was some more meat on the bone if he became the full-time primary ball handler, given how he did against Utah in the playoffs while Luka was out. But to have him become this guy? Not even the most cockeyed Knicks optimists were suggesting this. He was viewed as at best the number two guy while we waited for Leon to trade for his alpha.
Brunson’s the first player we’ve had during my rooting lifetime who is completely untouchable to me. I want to win with him specifically. I’d reject trades involving him I might rationally believe make us better. It’s just such a joy to watch him go to work at his size, and unlike basically every other high profile player we’ve had in my lifetime all he does off the court is make us proud to be Knicks fans.
Even if/when we’re going up against the small number of players better than him, I’ll always feel like we have a chance as long as we’ve got Brunson. Also, how the hell does he seemingly get better every year?
I don’t want to pile on so I will just quickly say I probably read 100% of Vork and Katz’ articles when they were on the beat and that number is a lot smaller now.
I know we want to give minutes to rookies and all, but Diawara has 80 min of a -7.1 BPM. He should be in the G league. Yabu hasn’t been THAT bad.
Time for another installment of Tommy Beer’s Fun With Small Sample Sizes!
Alan, I agree. His leadership, mien, ability to navigate the media markets ( including NY), have been astounding to me.
“mien” is an astoundingly great word!
kolek is now averaging more assists per 36 than jalen which is fantastic
Yabu isn’t that much better than Diawara either. Playing only 80 minutes, much of it with a garbage 3rd string, may not be the best test of his ability.
If nothing else, playing 3-5 minutes a game can only do so much harm. He’s a rookie, he’ll get better. Two weeks ago, Kolek’s outlook was quite a bit different than it is now.
I just think Diawara would be better served by playing 35min in Westchester. I see some potential, especially defensive, but he needs time to develop.
I love Brunson more than any Knicks player this millennium. I love his personality more than Ewing, plus he’s got all the other lovable qualities e.g. Cinderella story, took less money, whatever. The clutch thing is phenomenal. Whereas Ewing, as the glorified #1 pick never fulfilled the promise. But Ewing was a force on both ends. And he carried us on his back to one shot short of a championship. And the FO never got him a wing man. So I’m not all the way there yet.
And Willis and Clyde are untouchable.
Meanwhile Huk is sitting at -2.8 BPM. Which isn’t great, but maybe suggests he could get some court time? It’s actually twice as good as last year. (Meanwhile Yabu is at -4 BPM.) He is also averaging over 10 rebounds and over 2 blocks per 36.
My daily Huk call to arms.
Diawara has been playing decent D for a rookie. The length and motor combo is a thing. I like that they are spotting him in as a defensive wing.
As to Huk, it seems like Mitch is building up his minutes, which is a good sign re: his health. Maybe that’s keeping Huk off the floor.
Ewing never gets the credit he deserves when people talk about all-time great centers and he also lost so much after his knees gave out. But he was an absolute 2 way beast.
I also think he’s one of those dudes who’s game would translate well today. He had a sweet baseline jumper and probably, if he practiced it from childhood, would have easily been a big who could have shot 3’s well, especially from the corners.
It’s just too bad Spree and Houston couldn’t have come to The Knicks a few seasons earlier.
top active players with most career points and no championships:
James Harden, 28,359

Don’t know if we can look in the archives but there was considerably more optimism about Brunson, in my often flawed recollection, than you remember Alan, I think.
In particular, a lot of people looked through the numbers and pointed out Brunson had been more effective with Luka off the court and also about as effective as Luka.
I was excited for the transaction. Brunson was an elite scorer already you could more or less hide on defense.
He clearly had All Star potential. Being a genuine MVP candidate is the surprise.
Diawara does look good on defense but neither he nor Huk really look like playoff rotation caliber players.
Truly worried about our collective wellbeing now that Mitch hit 9 FTs in a row.
Assuming he is a true talent 50% shooter, there’s a 0.2% chance he would do this.
***
So Mitch is basically a 50% FT shooter for his career on 762 attemps.
He’s now made TEN free throws in a row – the last 7 vs PHI and 3 last night.
The chances that a 50% shooter hits 10 in a row is 0.5 to the 10th power = 0.097% chance. Honestly pretty amazing. This stretch should be the top line item in this new shooting coach’s resume.
i hate to do this (read: this is the best day of my life), but this isn’t quite the way i’d think about it. i mean, the binomial calculations are right, but they represent the chances that a 50% shooter hits 10+ free throws on one specific block of attempts. obviously the chances that he hits a 10+ streak at some point gets higher with the sample. and the fact is that we are looking at the sample in hindsight. we didn’t pick out these particular ten attempts uniquely ex ante.
in fact a 51.7% free throw shooter has a 39% of getting at least 10+ at some point in 762 attempts (mitch’s career) due to pure luck. nba bad ft shooter history is littered with examples of guys who have done that in non-massive samples: biedrins (16), outlaw (16), adams (16), bogut (15), poeltl (15), capela (13). most shooting coaches with longevity have a pretty great chance of ending up with a resume that includes a terrible free shooter producing a great streak while sadly remaining a terrible shooter.
true, there’s no universal rule that says we have to look to mitch’s entire career as the sample. in fact this is actually the second 10+ streak in his career (which, btw, has only a 5-10% happening from luck to a 50-52% shooter in 762 attempts). and i get the urge to try to restart the clock with a new shooting coach. of course, his 3-20 start under this same coach regime was also 1 in a thousand for a supposedly 50% shooter as a particular block, but in the wrong direction.
not trying to throw cold water on the mitchassiance, but rare streaks are bayesian poison.
PT – i don’t totally understand what you’re saying but i totally trust you on it. However i’m fully expecting Mitch to start hitting high volume 3’s by next week.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the decision to play Diawara came from further up the command chain as part of a trial period to see what they have in him. They seemingly did the same thing last season with Huk before they moved Sims at the deadline. If Huk was terrible, maybe they don’t move Sims.
This season, the Knicks are pretty thin at the 4 whether or not Diawara is any good, but it could help inform the FO on how aggressive they should be in fortifying the position, or even if they should keep Yabu around for the 3rd string instead of Diawara.
I think Alan is saying that nobody thought he’d be this good, despite a lot of us being high on him. Maybe a 2.5 OBPM at best, not 6. Definitely not a top 7ish offensive player in the league.
What’s up with KAT? He’s an enormous contract.
If you flip a coin 2 times, there’s a 25% chance you get 2 heads.
If you flip a coin 762 times, there’s basically a 100% chance you will get 2 heads in a row at some point. That, or you should start playing with a different coin.
So, it’s not too weird that we saw him do this at some point during his career. That point just happens to be right now.
While we’re throwing kudos around to ex-Villanova players, can we also send a few Mikal Bridges way? He’s having a superb season and his deadly 3 point shooting has been a big part of it. A little light on the “stocks” lately, but that’s nitpicking.
And the other Nova guy Josh Hart has rediscovered his 3 point shot and keeps doing Josh Hart stuff out there.
Honestly, there’s not a lot to complain about with this team, except KAT’s too frequent clunker games and of course Yabu the Hut.
More like pizza the hut really
Yes. People thought there was upside there, given how well he had played both with but especially without Luka. But predicting that he would, season after season, have a good argument for All-NBA first team? Who was doing that?
mitch is shooting darts from the free throw line, he just seems to be shooting them more confidently now…
still thinking of kel’el ware and the game he had…21 year old seven footer that rebounds and defends to his size – plus he has a really nice shooting touch, he can be really good for them…
One thing we all agree about is that Yabu has been a disappointment. I knew he was a bit of downgrade from Precious on defense (which is not saying much either way), but I expected more from him on offense. I suspect many of us (myself included) looked at his 3p% from last year and internationally, assumed he had gotten better and expected him to be a floor spacing PF.
The good news is that he shot 22.2% in Oct, 30.8 in Nov and 35.7% in Dec from 3. His TS% has gone from .308 to .516 to .626 . It’s all small samples because he doesn’t play much, but at least it’s something positive.
The other thing I’ll say is that we have so much offensive firepower, he’s almost always 5th option unless Mitch is on the court with him. So he’s simply not going to score much. He’s just got to hit his 3s at a good clip, get some boards and play better defense and it’s not a disaster.
Knicks are now #2 in the league in offensive ratings and their eFG% has been soaring. They’re 5th in the league in eFG% now after an early season slump had them down in the 20’s. Combine the high eFG% with the excellent turnover and offensive rebounding rates, and it’s a pretty fearsome offense. It’s the Thibs “Moneyball” offense but with a high eFG%.
JK47, this is like saying it’s the Billy Beane hitter, but with a high batting average.
This is a fascinating exercise. And it’s completely subjective, as the criteria is “I feel comfortable.”
I think I felt comfortable that Patrick was the best player on the court much more than Brunson.
Jordan & Olajuwon were the only two guys where I knew we didn’t have the best player.
But in any game against Luka, Jokic, SGA, Giannis, or Wemby, Brunson definitely gives me second best vibes.
I know there are statistics that indicate Malone & Robinson were better than Ewing but I never once went into a game against Utah or San Antonio feeling like our guy was a clear #2. Maybe I was an overconfident teenager but I always felt good with Patrick in those games.
Eventually Shaq was better but not right off the bat. Alonzo Mourning was always Patrick’s son.
Ewing vs Barkley always felt even.
Bird & Isiah were in decline during Ewing’s peak. Clyde Drexler never did it for me. Ewing was always better than Reggie Miller until he injured his hand.
For Brunson, guys like Tatum Edwards & Mitchell are like Robinson Malone & Barkley vs Ewing. Stats may say one thing, but I feel good about our guy.
I think what hurts Brunson in this little exercise is I usually feel fucked when we’re playing Tyrese Halliburton. I never feel like we have a clear advantage over Tyrese Maxey, either.
In conclusion, I may have been too much of a Ewing stan, but he made me feel we had the best player a little more than Jalen does.
How quickly they turn.
I’d rather see more Jemison.
I tried to do a deep dive on him after the Pacers game but it’s a very shallow pool.
One thing was certain, though: dude can set a screen.
The Cavs have been bad, but I think it’s not really a coaching thing.
– They are 27th in the league in 3PT% (.339). Last year, they were 2nd (.383). Their 3PA/100 possessions are more or less the same (42.9 this year vs 41.4 last year).
– They were 18th in opponent 3PT% last year, now they are 9th.
– Garland went from .562 to .454 eFG% (it’s not just 3pt variance, he’s about 10 points worse across the board).
– De’Andre Hunder is, as it turns out, not a true talent .426 3pt shooter, and has reverted to his career mean.
– Lonzo Ball has a .404 (not a typo) eFG%. Ty Jerome had a .606 eFG% last year.
Mobley has taken a bit of a step back too.
They were never as good as their record showed last year; they are probably not as bad as their record this year.
Fairly or unfairly, I don’t think Brunson is respected by fan bases around the NBA on the same label as prime Dame or Kyrie. Maybe he’s on the way to that, but not yet.
Looks like OG and Brunson are resting tomorrow at Wolves.
Hopefully this is just a well-deserved punt game. Neither guy seemed hobbled against Miami so I’m cautiously optimistic that’s the case.
Tosan Tosan?
I don’t mind a little load management, especially during this stretch.
Garland’s foot injury has been a very big deal. At least that’s the scuttlebutt I hear on Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe podcasts. It’s never gone away, he’s been to a dozen specialists, and it might be career altering.
I don’t expect the Cavs to bounce back this year.
go med performance staff folks!!!
Hukporti has made a big difference on defense this year. I didn’t think Jemison made that kind of impact on defense despite being okay on that end.
His per 36 numbers of 5 PFs and 2 TOs for a guy with a microscopic usage is a little concerning. I’m guessing a lot of moving screen calls.
Still, I definitely want to see more Jemison. His screens were responsible for a lot of wide open lanes to the basket. It’s definitely a beyond the boxscore skill that I can believe in when I see it.
Re: Yabu, I don’t know if there are any empirics on this, but based on various anecdotal examples I get the impression there are some guys who can’t scale down their role successfully. Theoretically a 38% 3PT shooter should hit roughly 3.8 of every 10 attempts, but it feels like some guys can’t get into a rhythm if they’re only getting a few looks per game. Yabu looks like such a discombobulated mess out there that his numbers from last season are downright unbelievable.
Interestingly enough, Yabu’s overall usage hasn’t changed much since last season, though it has gone down a bit. But he’s playing way less (which was always going to be the case) and thus shooting way less even if his usage is similar-ish on a rate basis. So he might just be a guy who either has a fairly big role or is useless.
Or I could be making excuses for a guy who is some combination of out-of-shape and a one-season wonder.
We’re gonna have an adventure at PF tomorrow, and Minnesota is not a team you want to have an adventure at PF against.
Hart, KAT, and Diawara will have to guard Randle and Naz Reid.
I’d be open to trading Yabu to get Precious back.
I think while Yabu has not worked out well here, there could be teams that would still find him an interesting flyer to take on. Maybe his role and fit here just isn’t right and a new team can get Yabu to do what he did for Philly last year.
Re: Precious. Look, we know he is what he is and he can’t shoot 3’s. But I actually think in Brown’s system with more passing and player movement, cuts, etc…Precious could do well off the bench for us. His defense can be solid.
If there are better options out there, definitely open to those but I don’t think Precious would be a bad choice to bring back.
Random stupid quote:
Before the year, Drummond was a 12.9 percent shooter from 3, connecting on only 18 of his 140 attempts. This season, the Sixers center is 14 of 34, good for 41.2 (!) percent from 3.
I wonder what huk is either doing or saying that is not getting him minutes…
trade yabu, for something…soon as deuce returns put clarkson on the 6 to 8 minutes a game role, if he’s hot, he stays, if not more deuce…
I don’t think you guys remember David Robinson very well. He was better than Ewing at everything.
I think (EB?) was right, Mitch is getting more time, and since Huk is really a center full stop, that’s probably cutting into potential time. I’d still put Huk at the 5 and KAT at the 4 for stretches when Mitch sits, but that’s me.
I remember when David Robinson was Patrick Ewing’s backup C on the Dream Team.
I also remember when Hakeem Olajuwon humiliated Robinson like I’ve never seen a HOFer get humiliated before. Patrick lost to Hakeem, too, he was the best. But at least he competed. Robinson got his manhood snatched.
I agree that some western team would probably take a flier on Yabu. We don’t even need much in return, just to lose his player option and not waste a draft pick to dump him.
Hubert’s trade idea with the Spurs for Sochan, for instance, makes some sense. Or the Lakers could swap out expirings Jaxon Hayes and Drew Timme for him: why not? Or maybe to the Clips for Batum.
id like to give timme a shot even though he makes me think of south park every time batum would have been ok two or three years ago but not anymore no interest in hayes if were going to get him we might as well go after kevon looney
sochan i mean i guess sure i think he can give us more than yabu has but thats a low bar
That’s the best you can do… Patrick was Michael’s boy so he started? Show me a single metric or objective measure that indicated Ewing could sniff either Robinson’s or Malone’s (or Barkley’s or Shaq’s) jockstrap. I’ll wait…..
As far as Hakeem vs The Admiral is concerned… Head to head in the regular season The Admiral held a 30-12 record vs Hakeem. In 1995 in the playoffs Hakeem did win 4-2. I’m not sure whose “manhood” got exposed there….
David Robinson was better than Ewing at everything except at winning playoff games without Tim Duncan.
Sublime work skipping over the whole “this is definitely a subjective exercise” part.
I know the stats say Robinson > Ewing but at no point from 1990 through 1996 did I go into a game against the Spurs feeling like Patrick Ewing wasn’t at least as good or better. I’d be surprised if any Knicks fan ever did.
Robinson always felt like a paper tiger til Tim Duncan came along, like Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Mitchell has better stats than Brunson but do you ever feel like we don’t have the best player in a game against the Cavs?
How about Jayson Tatum? He is objectively superior to Jalen Brunson. But it feels like we have the best player when we play the Celtics.
That’s how I felt about Ewing vs Robinson.
I can’t shed any light on the viewing experience of watching either guy, but it brings me no pleasure to point out that Robinson did pretty much dominate Ewing in head-to-head matchups.
I have NO doubt Ewing could’ve stroked it from 3. Even more so, imagine how his shooting would’ve pull opposing Cs fro the paint and opened up driving lanes for today’s guards and wings.
And low-key, I think Oakley and his sneaky-hidden jumper would’ve been so much more of a weapon. Maybe even stretched out his range to 3.
From 90-96 when it was just Ewing vs Robinson it was even.
Then Duncan showed up in ‘97 and suddenly Robinson went 5-1 against Patrick, including 3 games when Ewing was on Seattle & Orlando.
Duncan was one of those guys, like Jokic and SGA are now. But Robinson never was.
But by all means, feel free to correct. There’s tons of old Knicks fans here. Stand up if you remember thinking Ewing vs Robinson felt like Brunson vs SGA.
Agreed. I find it interesting we’re seeing these short stints out of various players each game, but it’s not the same players. It’s a little tough to tell who’s ready and who’s not. On the other hand, it was completely opaque during the reign of Thibs, so I’ll take it.
Ewing was better than Robinson and more tortured. Duncan was like Moses to that dude. Robinson looked like he could play colossus in x men. He was stiff compared to Ewing. A terrific player who would be willed off the court by a Jalen Brunson.
One can feel however they want about about who won or lost more games head-to-head, but there is no doubt who was better statistically and reputation-wise in their respective primes. Robinson won an MVP and was in the top-3 in the voting 5 times. He led the league in BPM 3 times and VORP twice. Ewing was never in the top-3 in MVP voting. His career high in BPM was 5.5, while Robinson surpassed that number 11 times, with BPMs above 8.5 five times before Duncan was in the league. He had a BPM of over 6 in 10 straight playoff appearances. Ewing’s playoff high was 5.1. Robinson was a scoring champion, a rebounding champion, and a blocks champion. Ewing never was.
At the end of the day, they were in different conferences and hardly played each other in meaningful games during their respective primes. Back then the Spurs were rarely on TV in NY so we didn’t get to see him all that much, and I have probably been prone to underrating him because of that. But the stats clearly demonstrate who was better, in the regular season, in the playoffs, and head-to-head during their respective primes.
At least that’s what I thought when I was then.
On a less optimistic note, I watched some of today’s Westchester Knicks “showcase” game. Dadiet was absolutely horrible. So was McCullar. Dink Pate was actually pretty good. Honestly, I would think about cutting McCullar and locking up Pate on a 2-way.
My Ass… when you are in a hole, it is often wise to stop digging and take the proverbial L.
1990 Robinson’s rookie year 6th in MVP Ewing 5th
1991 Robinson 3rd in MVP Ewing 11th
1992 Robinson 3rd in MVP Ewing 5th
1993 Robinson 6th in MVP Ewing 4th
1994 Robinson 2nd in MVP Ewing 5th
1995 Robinson 1st in MVP Ewing 4th
1996 Robinson 2nd in MVP Ewing not in top 20
Tell me again who was clearly the better player in the pre Duncan era?
I’m pretty sure that’s exactly how most of us felt back then, Clarence.
Again, I conceded the objective truth ten hours ago. Robinson had better stats.
Cade Cunningham also has better stats than Jalen Brunson. Who feels like we don’t have the best player against Detroit?
Hell I felt Brunson was the best player against the Sixers and Joel Embiid had an 11.5 bpm that year.
The only guys that make me feel Brunson isn’t the best player are Jokic, Giannis, Luka, SGA, and Wemby.
From 1990-1996, the only guys who made me feel Ewing wasn’t the best player were Jordan, Hakeem, and eventually Shaq.
I clearly meant the head to head record, Bob, which was 7-6 at the time before it mushroomed to the 12-7 Noble posted.
“Garland’s foot injury has been a very big deal. At least that’s the scuttlebutt I hear on Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe podcasts. It’s never gone away, he’s been to a dozen specialists, and it might be career altering.”
27 and 10 tonite maybe hes over it shrug
Robinson was arguably the 2nd best player of his generation, behind only the GOAT. Ewing was arguably the 5th best center in the league at any given point in his career. The Mind’s Eye Test is the only thing Hubert is using, which is fine, but it’s also ridiculous.
