Those seven games from RJ to begin the season really had me fooled… we need to retain Quick this upcoming summer, we can not afford to lose him for nothing. He’s arguably our third best player, and I can’t blame his agents for wanting him to get paid more than RJ…
You won’t find a bigger RJ supporter than me but Thibs subbing RJ in for IQ ( who was the best player on the floor tonight) in the 4th made ZERO sense. Even if we still lost if we closed with IQ what was the rationale in bringing RJ back in?
DDV and IQ hitting over 50% in threes.
Thibs: nah, I’m leaving RJ in until he hits one.
Quickley should ask for a trade tonight, this team is so fucking stupid.
Sadly these losses happen when we are not firing on all cylinders consistently. It is hard to do when you are down a big man, but we need everybody to be consistent going forward if we are going to make some real noise.
Lot of problems tonight obviously, but fought decently hard against a really good team on the road. Thibs subbing RJ in for IQ after he had 22pts in 24min was absolutely maddening and baffling.
Too many turnovers, but they were in it until we subbed in RJ for IQ at the end
I’ve been an RJ supporter. But he’s just not good enough. We badly need to upgrade at the wing.
Fuck RJ, has one good game and then ten bad ones. Make it make sense
I wish the New York sports media was more focused on the Knicks, because that Barrett for IQ substitution should have Thibs raked over the coals and shamed on all media outlets. What a joke. #recklesspenguin
Start Quickley and trade RJ. That sub was criminal
Not going to win when you turn the ball over 18 times and the other team turns it over 4 times.
We need to be more locked in man
Broken record, until RJ is gone and they upgrade that position this team will never be better than 4/5 seed second round out
The thunder are a good team. We competed well with them until they decided to not miss any threes down the stretch.
I have no idea what the fuck Thibs was thinking putting RJ back in the game over IQ
You want DDV who was 5/9 on 3s and IQ who was 4/5 on 3s… Or RJ who was 1/7 on 3s and Hart who was 0/2 on 3s..
There is no fucking reason why RJ should be taking 7 3s. In fact all his good games recently he has only take 1 to 3 3s. It’s even worse when you have him and hart out there and neither can make a jump shot for their life.
i’m jealous of this okc team. they are set for the next decade.
Why the fuck did we sub red hot IQ out for RJ who immediately turns it over.
How many guys in NBA History have been runner up for 6MOY and have their Minutes per Game go down?
we need to get a legit wing in the lineup. like 6’7 – 6’8, please flip RJ for one at the deadline
watch IQ sign a fat contract to start for another team then drop fiddy on us in his first game back @ MSG
DDV shot out his brains 20 min
IQ shot even better only 24 min
RJ shot like my grandma 30 min
Sorry something is wrong here.
I try not to be critical and to remain positive.
IQ out, RJ in with like 4 minutes left was an absolutely awful decision.
We were 30 seconds away from IQ skipping down the court in a come back win.
Jalen Williams is who I wish RJ was, they have like the same build and everything
That was a pretty infuriating game for any number of reasons.
Brunson, I adore you, but what the hell were some of those lackadaisical passes!? Very confusing decision making from someone who rarely has that issue.
Love Jules too but his ball watching was driving me crazy tonight and he’s gotta stop taking possessions off d to bitch to the refs.
RJ bruh. Not sure he was decent at anything tonight. He gets more shit than he usually deserves but tonight was just a mess on every level.
The fuck is going on with IQ and our rotation? That RJ sub was crazy given how the game had been playing out.
Also we have very few guys who actually WANT to take a 3 so we constantly pass up looks from there that teams like OKC/Boston/Milwaukee actively hunt. Makes it really hard to keep up with those kinds of teams, especially when we also fail to guard the 3 point line well.
Everyone is making some deep, insightful commentary tonight on IQ, RJ, Thib, etc.
But I need y’all to know that the refs made my ass itch tonight.
Leave bad reffing in 2023 please.
