  5. We dont hsve Robineon and Predious now. Use Hakaporti at the fivr for interior defence , and dont reduce Sims mimutesv, but put him at the four , and reduce starters mimutes to keep them fresh .

  6. Knicks need healthy bodies, the healthy bodies come back the better. Precious, McBride and Cam will give the knicks enough quality depth for them to at least solidify the third seed until Mitch gets back.

  8. Here’s the issue. Bridges is clogging up a lot of areas on this team… Because Tibs would never have him come off the bench.. It’s not that complicated.. Sacrifice some offense for improved defense.. Expecting 130 points and 40 assists every game, especially during the playoffs is flat out ridiculous and it’s not sustainable.. Move KAT to the 4; yes, the offense won’t be as efficient but it will still be good enough to win games and have Bridges come off the bench where he could be the vocal point on offense.. Starters: JB, JH, OG, KAT and Mitch.. Bench: Deuce, Payne, Bridges, Achuwa.. That’s how you win a championship.. Starting KAT will look pretty but will get you bumped in the second round

  9. I feel like Coach Thibs will only use Sims just to have another fella that can play the C, even though I like Pacome as a backup but issue KAT at C only good offensively and rebounding d isn’t there, Anunoby at PF then KAT to PF is better, with Achiuwa at C but you gotta have someone else that can be a center, I think the Knicks have enough with McBirde and Payne to backup Brunson, Hart & Bridges but yea that’s my opinion until Robinson comes back

  13. The only thing,the Knicks need to move Kay at four,and play another guy at five and move mikal to the bench.the Knicks defense is very bad since preseason

  14. I say when Achuiwa comes back they should start him at the 4. And he can still guard the opposing teams 5. And just have Josh Hart as our 6 man along with Duece and Payne off the bench because it makes sense. Therefore you can play OG at his natural position which is at 3. And still have Bridges at the 2. Even though he is a natural Small Forward. The reserves would be 1, Payne 2, Mcbride 3, Hart 4, Sims, and occasionally put in Dadiet. That's not really a bad bench if you really look at it. Just saying. Remember every one is entitled to their opinion. It's just a suggestion.

  18. Listen, we can be really bad right now like the Pacers, Bucks or Sixers. This is not a bad position to be in tbh. I look at this as a win win, we get healthy and we are nearing a nice healthy squad. I guarantee you by January we will be all right. Thanks for the video Troy.

  22. When Robinson comes back what are your thoughts on changing the starting 5 to: Brunson (1), Bridges (2), OG (3), Kat (4), and Robinson (5)? This way we also have more punch and defence off the bench with Hart, Precious, and McBride. I can see Hart thriving as our 6th man. Would like to get your thoughts on this.

  34. Good video. Good analysis. I like how you presented the reporter's opinion as an opinion and not factual breaking news. Your consistency and energy is appreciated.

    Mitch with KAT will work. However, my dream is also that Precious can get his 3 ball working. If Precious can hit the three at roughly league average, he'd allow the Knicks to still play 5 out while bolstering the defense and rebounding.

  35. McCullar may end up playing a good bit when healthy. Real problem we have is we need a ball hawk to really prevent dribble penetration since Thibbs refuses to switch. McCullar is shades if Butler at Marquette and Thibbs is the perfect coach for him. He was a top 20 guys before the injury so let’s see.

    It’s a long season.

  36. Troy we can do all the rotations they want to, but if we don't get KAT some REAL help in the paint!! It's going to be a struggle all year long. KAT's play on offense is banging, but his defense is subpar at best. Precious no doubt is a baller, but not at the 5 and Mitch well that's another story. Find a reliable BIG in a trade aka Jonas Valanciunas because the Wizards will be having a dumpster sale sooner then later.
