🧵 Saw Oppenheimer tonight in a completely full theater. During COVID, my theater stayed open but with limited trailers, they decided to show old episodes of bugs bunny to fill the empty space. This became popular in our town, so even when trailers returned, bugs bunny stayed.

In all seriousness—Burks was an awesome NYK. It’s not his fault Thibs decided to run him into the ground playing out of position last year. He worked his ass off for us, gave us everything he had & hit huge shots. It woulda been nice to keep him in a bench role. He’ll he missed.

Of Jalen Brunson's 10 assists, 3 were on 3-pointers, which means that Brunson scored or assisted on 70 of the Knicks 97 points. He also only had 1 turnover. In a defensive slugfest featuring two dynamic defenses, Brunson was directly responsible for 72% of his team's points. MVP

A misconception about Jalen Brunson is that because he seeks contact he's RELIANT on drawing fouls to be efficient. This couldn't be further from the truth. Brunson is one of the most skilled scorer in the entire NBA. What other PG is looking to create a jump-hook in the midpost?

It’s being misconstrued, but this Brunson deal is very simple; with RJ due for an extension the NYK will be over the cap anyway. Consolidating vets into Brunson allows them to stay relatively competitive, frees up minutes for their young guys & remain flexible for a future trade.

It’s been subtle, but the Deuce McBride leap is real. We need to start giving him run next to Brunson both to spell Donte’s minutes-load & to expand Deuce’s role. He’s not a natural initiator but he does so many other things well (including guard up), he deserves to be out there.

I’d be surprised if many watch more NBA than me, and I’m the last person to play the ref card (seriously Knicks fans hate how often I bring up the good whistle they get)…that’s the widest whistle discrepancy I’ve seen in a game all season. Absolutely zero end to end consistency.

🧵My Knicks off-season plan: 1) Re-sign OG and IHart 2) Look for trades that don’t compromise roles or depth 3) Use draft picks if no trades Brunson/Donte/OG/Randle/IHart with Deuce/Hart/Bojan/Mitch/Burks/Precious IS enough. They were brutally unlucky with injuries this year.

Did y'all notice this from Obi/Thibs? Obi plays perhaps the best defensive shift of his young career, but watch how Thibs' trust in him grows in real time and he adjusts his scheme accordingly. (Analysis below 👇👇👇)

Jarrett Allen has always been cool with me. Seems 100% about ball, no nonsense. Not surprising that he is the one paying actual respect to his opponents and looking inward for solutions.

Jarrett Allen is asked why the Cavaliers struggled to defensive rebound in Game 1: "Mitchell Robinson. One of the best, if not the best, offensive rebounders in the league. Josh Hart, too."

Gotta be honest, Scottie Barnes flailing flopping and talking shit all game only to miss a FT and then get yoked on to blow a game in regulation is the most Scottie Barnes thing ever.

The Celtics made one single substitution the entire third quarter of a game they apparently don’t care about…and watched as Jalen Brunson dismantled their “indifferent” starters so badly Joe Mazzula waved the white flag. This is another Boston Massacre.

I guess I’m in the minority. We’ve been kicking and screaming for RJ to make it so his impact isn’t so dependent on the volatility of his shooting. He finally plays a game (in game 1 of the playoffs!) where he makes good reads and plays good defense and it’s “but his shooting!”??

The Knicks will still be a threat to win 1-2 playoff series with a healthy OG Anunoby, but this could be one of the all-time what if teams. 12-2 +15.1 Net in January with a healthy core. Hopefully the league doesn’t change too much this summer and they get a real go next season.

In the last 3 drafts they’ve taken Obi, IQ, Grimes, Deuce, Rokas, Sims, Keels, acquired a FRP that became Cam Reddish and, somehow despite doing all of that, increased their future draft capital. Yet this is how choose you spin it?

I said it after games 3 and 4, I’ll say it again: that was the best game of RJ Barrett’s career. It blew games 3+4 out of the water. He took the defense from the first 4 games and combined it with game 3’s elite processing & game 4’s aggression. He put it all together. So proud.

"I think Immanuel Quickley is probably not a PG, so we should start Alec Burks at PG who is definitely not a PG." continues to make zero sense. If you want Kemba to start when he comes back, I wouldn't begrudge you. But Burks over Quickley is getting more and more indefensible.

If there’s one thing you should learn covering a Thibs-coached team, it’s that you don’t need to shoot well to play well. Quickley’s defense has been vital to the team’s success this series. IQ +41 IHart +23 Brunson +21 NYK +16 Obi +14 Grimes +9 Randle +2 RJ -3 Hart -6 Mitch -7

Not accurate. The players they would’ve traded for Mitchell are not the reason the Knicks lead this series. Those players are either not playing (Fournier) or struggling (Quickley, Grimes).

IQ/Grimes is the optimal backcourt next to RJ/Randle. It’s certain at this point. Of the guards in the rotation they’re the 2; -best defenders -best shooters -best & most willing screeners -hardest workers -most capable of providing +value with low USG WTF are we waiting for??

People keep asking me about the Quickley about this all; Quickley was a guy who, at every turn, the Knicks actively seeked to suppress. Every year there was a different reason to cap his minutes and role. Every year he persevered. It's baffling to me he wasn't universally loved.
