Crazy.. Boston shot nearly 70% from 3 for the first 40minutes of the game….

[Oneshotdee]

Marshall I completely DISAGREE .. deuce needs to stay on the bench honestly and be our 6 man so he can play the 1-2 off the bench combo.. he’s 6’1 he will get killed playing 6’5 scorers for 30+ minutes a night .. only reason he looks good is cause he’s playing the backups .. he doesn’t have to guard antman or Ja morant curry Kyrie for 30+ mins he guards them for like 5-10 mins and mostly the back ups.. now with that said I don’t want hart starting either .. what we need is more front court help for offense rebounding and defensive purposes.. KAT Brunson and bridges should be enough scoring in the starting lineup.. you need rebounding and defense around them.. so I’d say you should start precious when he’s healthy alongside of KAT so precious could get offensive rebounds help KAT on the defensive end also.. that would make our bench way deeper.. you’d have hart and deuce off the bench with a bridges to make sure we have a number 1 type scorer in the bench rotation .. but yea until precious comes back im starting sims at the 4 and let him catch alleys and get rebounds .. let KAT sit around the perimeter for half the game thats what we got him for is yo shoot and do some rebounding we not asking him to become this top 10 rebounder in the league

Brunson
Bridges
OG
Precious
KAT

That’s my starting lineup once precious is healthy.. for now just start sims until precious is back and keep hart and deuce coming off the bench

[frags]

Before I even watch, give Hukporti a chance before Simms sometime soon. Need to see something. 👀

[yagottabelieve]

Small size sample, but I’m starting to love Huckporti…

I’d like to see 2 lineups depending if we want to go big, or a true 5 out.

Big…
Brunson, Bridges, OG, KAT and Huckporti

5out
Brunson, Deuce, Bridges, OG and KAT.

Either way, Hart is our 6th man and can literally come off the bench to replace anyone on the floor

[alrock]

Knicks need to guard the 3 and then hit the 3. This is the nba now.

[paulmcwhite]

Excellent breakdown on McBride vs. Hart for the starting lineup. It perhaps will be situational. Hart just has to make play his game and step into that shot to keep the defense honest.

[alanalford]

First off we loss because of second shots. Rebounding!!! Josh Hart is 6’4 and they are playing him at PF!!!! Towns had 7 boards and 0 blocks!!! 0! We don’t need another short player in the lineup! WE NEED SIZE!!! OG 4 rebounds, Towns 7

[Cantante-tkww]

A lot of people are freaking out about the first Knicks lost like please will you get for real is just the first game and big deal if it was a blow out, I watch the game from the start on TNT I feel there is no reason to panic at least not yet I feel a good reason to be optimistic as long as this team stays healthy throughout this year and next year the Knicks have a legitimated chance of reaching the finals and you could take that to the bank. 💪✌💪Lets go Knicks and do some ass kicking 🥳🥳🥳

[oldhead]

We need to get Marcus Morris back asap to help with the 2nd lineup

[KnicksTV]

Pick a starter! Type 3 for Josh Hart | 2 for Miles McBride

[alanalford]

How about neither should be starting!!!

[Javi-hojv]

Marshall I agree that this was a reality check for the Knicks. We have a ways to go and it’s only game one, this team will gel and we will be better. We Knicks fans gotta practice patience. We waited so long for a good team and now that we got one we rushing them. It’s a long season, LGK!

[keeshawnn]

Precious should start at the 4 when he gets back.

[RedSteele]

Hmmm...I think you make a good point. The Knicks should start Deuce McBride. That would spread the floor and make it easier for guys to drive to the rim because Deuce was hitting his shots from 3.

However I think there are other things that the team needs to do too:

1.-Play Ariel Hukporti as the backup center.

2.-Speed up the pace so that the players are running. This would tire out the other team & make the Knicks players more difficult to defend.

3.-Get out in transition. This would make it easier to score before the other team can get back and set up their defense. This is what Josh Hart is good at and why he looks so out of place. It's not being done.

4.-Pass faster when they're double teamed.

5.-Stop standing around waiting to shoot 3s. For instance...they can cut to the rim for passes that lead to easy baskets on the run.

6.-Set screens so that other teammates can get easier shots.

7.-Move well without the ball. This will make it easier for players to pass it to one another and limit turnovers.

8.-Get the center more involved in the game. How? Do more ally oops & pick n' rolls. The Knicks aren't passing the ball to the center much so the other team can easily double team the player with the ball. Isn't KAT 7 ft tall? He should be able to finish at the rim this way as well.

9.-Make quicker decisions with the ball. Some of the guys are catching it and openly looking around to see who to pass it to. This can lead to turnovers or steals by the other team.

10.-Try to rebound the ball more as a team. Josh Hart was working on his rebounds when Julius Randle got injured. KAT has to try to get more rebounds as a 7 ft center. Remember we lost Mitch & Randle who were both good rebounders. This would give the team more 2nd chance points.

11.-See if KAT can be used to give assists out of the post area the same way that Joakim Noah did in the past on the Bulls or Isaiah Hartenstein did in the past on the Knicks.

[johnarroyo]

Marshall it's still early but stepping up on defense is first thing we need to do.

[StJohnSB]

Offensive rebounds are huge we lost IHart and Mitch in the rotation who did that for us. I feel like J hart thrived with those two on the court.

[josephbaffi]

the Celtics hit 17 threes in 1st half and 29 of 61 for the game you probally wont see that kind of shooting again for a few yrs no team would of over came that kind of shooting Knicks shot 55% in 1st and down by 20 so they just ran into a historic shooting night

[uncle_ralphmcd]

It does not matter who they put in the lineup. Non of these guys played defense yesterday. What needs to change is that these Knicks need to man up be professional and perform on the court. They all looked 10 steps slow yesterday. Get offensive Rebounds, protect the rim and stop getting beat off the dribble and picks.

[paradox]

Marshall I think you might be right, Hart seemed out of place at times. But we played ONE game so I would keep Deuce as the 6th man. He provides a great lift off the Bench. Obviously they need to get cohesion and chemistry right. We’ll be Fine! Go New York Go New York Go! Great take Marshall!

[leonmitchell]

I got money on THIBS being Fired before All-Star Break. The Schedule is horrible for us
