I'm afraid of what the Clippers will do to the Knicks today. Hoping the final score is at least respectable.

Having Ja back is nice. Luckily they were able to win a few while he was out too. Jones and Melton have been two of the better backups in the league. Bane and Tillman also contributing in year 1, both just under double digits a game and I think Bane is still shooting over 50% from 3.

Crazy to me that they are looking like a playoff team again this year, they’ve drafted so well that the whole “rebuild” just happened overnight. They just need to get Jackson back in a bad way, currently sitting at the 5 seed but 5-9 are all the same number of games back.

I didn’t get to watch any of the Blazers/Bulls game but that Dame sequence was so clutch lol. Down 5 with 11 seconds left and win the game.

Going to be a loss for the Knicks at home against the Clippers.

But the foundation is there.

20+ for RJ, Quickley and Randle. And not the cheap kind as we’ve been hanging with them until the end.

Pickup a quality trade target and with that Mavs 1st rounder plus ours, we should be in business.

Things are looking up. I like what we’re doing.

Denver is smoking. Maybe Jazz wake up in the 3rd.

Jokic is popping like that. Not many centers in the league are showing them down.

I know with how basketball is played now positions are more fluid, but because I haven't seen him enough to evaluate for myself, is RJ Barrett actually a 2 or is he be better suited as a 3.

Also, Jokic is on a mission today.

That's a great question. I think he's a SG without a doubt. Dude wants to score. If he passed more I'd say SF. But he wants to put the ball inside the hoop.

Jokic took the Jazz’s win streak personally huh

I think he’s just a guy you can kinda plug anywhere 1-3. He’s not a great playmaker but he can handle the ball well enough to not need a true 1 on the floor with him IMO. Especially paired with Randle. So the way I see it going forward the Knicks should be able to keep hot hands on the floor, or extra defenders if needed without necessarily needing to have a PG on the floor.

That said the team does still need its playmaking guard for the future. A solid starting guard is what they are missing because Quickley is very much a scorer IMO. Quickley might even be best suited as a career 6th man like Manu, Lou, etc. that’s very much his game it seems. If he becomes a starter, with a true point on the team as well, RJ is also fine at SF IMO.

Your last paragraph is basically my thought process for how I see that team functioning optimally.
