Welcome to the Knicks!

I guess Jalen Brunson is comfortable with never coming close to winning a championship for the rest of his life. Welcome to the Knicks!

Hire slow and fire fast.

I waited all day to write this.

Quite frankly there were enough slings and arrows coming from the fans and media here in New York that nothing I would have said last night had a chance of being original.

The Knicks lost by 14 points last night but it could have easily been by 30.

With Julius Randle on the floor this team is hapless, and his body language says to the world that he doesn't give a damn.

Let's face it Knicks fans, this team as constructed is not going to make the playoffs and they certainly don't deserve to. The league doesn't want to promote this train wreck as it is. The last thing the NBA wants is to beg beer companies to sponsor a Knicks playoff series.

Leon Rose needs to take a stick of dynamite to this roster and blow it all up.

The trade deadline should be a buzz of Knicks players being sent to and frow for draft picks, cash and future considerations starting with Julius Randle.

It's time to be honest and face the fact that this thing did not work. Let's start over with the exact roster that the coach wants with no surprise broken down old veterans shoved at him that he has no intention of playing.

Let Thibodeaux have his way and assemble a home-grown team that he can mold in his image. A team that is beloved by the fans for their arduous work and effort much like the group before the Carmelo Anthony trade.

To a man, everyone in the Knicks organization should be ashamed of the effort yesterday but this lack of effort should also become the line in the sand that management will no longer allow the players to cross.

Hire slow and fire fast. 

The knicks lose again, Heat 110 - Knicks 96

The glaring weakness; a lack of development of the youth

The Knicks faced the Toronto Raptors today in Toronto to an empty arena. It seems that the new variant spread was enough scare the city of Toronto into banning fans whether vaccinated or not.

I don't know if the lack of fans threw the Knicks players off but it was interesting to hear how loud Toronto's shots were as they pulled away from the Knicks to eventually win the game.

11 points collective from Miles McBride and Immanuel Quickley was the margin of loss and shows that neither guy is better than Rose or Kemba Walker at this time in their careers.

Obi Toppin was able to redeem himself from his last 5 point effort. Today, he got 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists filling the void of the missing Julius Randle.

Unfortunately, the Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet complete destroyed the Knicks back court this afternoon with 35 points,5 assists and 5 rebounds.

The glaring weakness of the Knicks is a lack of development of the youth.

Why in year three RJ Barrett still only going to his left? Why is Quickley still making situational mistakes at the point just setting up the offense? Why is Julius still not understanding when to not switch and stay with his man on defense?

I don't think the team has the right coach to develop young players to be solid role guys for the future. Thibs is best with a group of veterans and that is not this team. 

Knicks lose again, Raptors 120 - 105 Knicks.
