Knicks News & Rumors: Bench Alec Burks For Shake Milton? Time To Hit The Panic Button?



Knicks News & Rumors: Bench Alec Burks For Shake Milton? Time To Hit The Panic Button?

You’re watching Nicks Now by Chad Sports I’m your host Marshall Green appreciate everybody for taking time out of their busy schedule to rock and roll with us as we get you caught up with everything surrounding this basketball team the New York Knicks lost last night to the

Atlanta Hawks 116 to 100 they were without Jaylen Brunson they were without Julius Randall ogan and Obi and Mitchell Robinson but they were favored to win the game in Las Vegas and the Atlanta Hawks they were also without their star player in Trey young the Knicks have now

Lost nine out of their last 14 games and they are sliding in the Eastern Conference standings I wanted to film this video this morning to try to show everybody where the Knicks stack up in the Eastern Conference as well as the gamees they have left in the schedule

And will they have enough time when OG Brunson and Randall and Robinson inevitably return to potentially you know see if they have enough games left in the schedule to get that done so you saw the standings in the East right now the New York Knicks are in that fifth

Seed at 36 and 26 they are just one win up on the Miami Heat really just a half game above the Miami Heat in the six seed but you also have just one more win the 17 seven seed Philadelphia 76ers the eigh seed the Indiana Pacers meaning

There is no more time left for the New York Knicks to lose games need to start stacking W’s they need to get healthy and maybe they can’t stack W’s until they get healthy and I just need to take my own medicine with that but I have high expectations for this team and

Right now they are flirting with being a playin team as April basketball comes around and it’s not going to get any easier for the New York Knicks as you take a look at their schedule and what they have left it’s one of the most difficult schedules left in the NBA you

Got Orlando this Friday you’ve struggled against them you got Philly backto back they’re starting to play a little bit better basketball without M beat and you know they’re trying to win games just like the Knicks Portland that’ll be easy you hope then you got Sacramento that’s tough Golden State that’s tough Denver

That’s tough then you get an easy stretch of Brooklyn Detroit Toronto San Antonio but then it’s right back to it with Oklahoma City Miami Sacramento and an easy game versus Chicago it’s going to be a tough one versus Milwaukee hopefully an easy game versus Chicago but they’re battling for a play in spot

Then you got Boston then you end the season with Brooklyn and Chicago so you still play a lot of really good teams left this season you have 20 games left this season will they have enough time when Brunson Randall OG and Robinson get back to potentially get into a playoff

Groove and start to Peak at the right time of the year it’s going to be tough for the New York Knicks to do that who’s to say OG comes back 100% healthy or Mitchell Robinson or Randall or Brunson and we just expect them to get right back to the basketball they were playing

In January I’m a little bit worried I understand these losses don’t mean much and there’s not a lot to take from it considering you’re without four your top five players but at the end of the day it kind of feels like the writing’s on the

Wall and it seems like it’s going to be now or never for the New York Knicks maybe you just have to take your medicine maybe I just need to realize and understand Marshall the New York Knicks are not going to win games until they are fully

Healthy maybe I just need to take and swallow that tough pill I don’t want to do that because I believe there’s enough Talent on this team to win games especially against inferior opponents Josh Hart’s making $100 million Dante dienzo makes $50 million BL bonovich on the books for $18 million this year

Harden Stein’s been a shell of himself I get that but he’s been your starter for most of the year I just hope they start playing better basketball and I also need Tom Tibido to start coaching better and putting his team in a better spot to win what’s your confidence level in the New

York Knicks I want to hear it from everybody in the chat right now if you asked me at the end of January I would have said 10 and I had them going to the Eastern Conference Finals and I’m not sure why that should change considering the starters and the top players aren’t

Playing but when you lose nine out of 15 games it it it it’s it’s tough let me know scale one to 10 for me down in the comments section all righty let’s talk about Alec Burks um is it time to take Alec Burks out of the rotation for the

New York Knicks um I think the answer is getting closer and closer to yes not only has he been one of the worst basketball players in the NBA since he joined the New York Knicks he was also terrible last night against the Atlanta Hawks and these are the type of games

Why you traded for Alec Burks when Brunson is out of the lineup or when Brunson is struggling or when Brunson is not on the floor Alec Burks is supposed to be able to contribute some offensive production but he’s been inefficient since he’s joined the team he’s shooting

Just 32% on the season and under 30% from downtown Alec Burks my man this ain’t Detroit brother you got to start making some big time shots you got to be better this team needs more out of you you owe the city of New York more production

Than you have been putting out on the hardwood in the 10 games that you’ve been a part of this basketball team I understand Alec Burks was not brought here to carry the second unit he wasn’t brought here to be the Sixth Man of the Year and score 20 points per game but he

Was brought here here to be able to carry some offensive production while jayen Brunson is out of the lineup or out of the game and he has legitimately been awful he has been terrible and now I am starting to ask the question of is it time to bench Alec Burks and play

Shake Milton Shake Milton was signed by the New York Knicks over the weekend he was available to play in yesterday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks Tom Tibido said he would be situational he did not play and I understand it quick turnaround for him but as he gets more involved involved in this organization

And he gets brought up to speed more with this team game plan and the style of play that they want to use I think Shake Milton needs to be playing over Alec Burks look at what he’s done over the last four seasons in his career I know the stats aren’t beautiful this

Past year but I just believe sometimes that a player when a circumstance changes and a scenery changes they can get back to the production that they previously had look it didn’t work out in Minnesota and then he went and played for Detroit for a week what about last

Year when he played for the Philadelphia 76 ERS a team that was at the top of the Eastern Conference that averaged over eight points per game over three assists per game was really really efficient from the floor on 48% and almost 38% from downtown I believe that player is

Still in Shake Milton he also has fresh legs he hasn’t been playing 40 minutes every single night like Josh Hart he’s 27 years old he’s 6 fo5 he’s got a s foot wingspan he could also bring you some defensive versatility and we know that since the Knicks have been without

Mitchell Robinson and ogan and Obi for the past two months they have been one of the worst defenses in the NBA I think Shake Milton can make more of a difference on that side of the ball than a guy like Alec Burks and I also think he give you the similar or same

Production if not better on offense so my question to all the real ones is this who should be playing more going forward for Tom Tibido in the Knicks is it Alec Burks is it shake Milton I want to hear from you down in the comments section let me know what you’re thinking we’ll

React to all the stats from the game last night against the Hawks but first I got to give a huge shout out to today’s sponsor priz picks the number one daily fantasy sports app in North America pick more pick less play prize picks it’s priz picks.com clns promo code clns just

Three quarters of this game 15 points six rebounds it seemed like whenever they needed a bucket press the JEA found the rocket he got downhill and he attacked the rim and then somehow he didn’t play in the fourth quarter until there was two minutes left and the game

Was Out Of Reach I don’t understand what Tom Tibido is doing also there needs to be a change in the starting lineup it is what it is the Nicks continuously have to fight themselves out of holes early on in the games because the offensive combination of hardenstein and AA at the

Four and five are unable to score points Josh Art was great in the second half and I understand he’s tired everyone let me know that last night on the live stream I get it he’s played 40 plus minutes in seven straight games that’s no easy task but I need him to be more

Locked in for more than just 24 minutes of basketball he was God awful in that first half and what do you know right when he started to bring it into gear right when he started to turn it up in the second half the Knicks tied the game

And they ran out a gas at the end I I I don’t want to ask more of Josh Hart but he’s making $100 million one of the highest paid players on the team I do love the confidence in the way he shooting the ball from three I just eat

It for All 48 minutes I want more production for All 48 minutes Josh Isaiah hardenstein one of my favorite players on this team you represent what it means to be a New York Nick you play with grit you play with grind you play with hustle you empty the tank every

Single time you step on the basketball for but you’re playing through an injury and I respect that out of you I always respect someone that’s going to play no matter what but you’re hurting the team because you’re doing that your injured self is not a good enough player right

Now to be taking minutes away from press Thea and to be quite honestly Jericho Sims I heart my message to you is this thank you for being a warrior but get yourself right because this team is going to need to have you healthy on the basketball floor if they want to do

Things in the playoffs they haven’t done in 20 years Dante D vinchenzo his stats look good 21.6 ass four rebounds but I thought it was one of his worst games of his career as a New York Nick I thought he was sloppy with the ball I thought he

Took bad shots 24 Shots for D venzo 17 of those being threes I understand Shooters shoot but it’s hard to get in the Rhythm when all you’re doing is jacking up threes from the outside off off balance looks I just ask you to take better shots we know how special of a

Player you are and you’re asked to be playing a role right now that you’re not really supposed to be doing you’re supposed to be a third or fourth option you’re right now looked at as the number one option on this team and it’s so bad habits aren’t developing and I know

He’ll turn it around too good of a basketball player miles McBride just like iHeart a warrior empties the take tank every time he’s touches touches the four and I thought he was good last night I honestly thought he did a good job on De jonte Murray until he kind of

Took over a little bit in that fourth quarter but 11 points nine assists I thought he set the table for the Knicks pretty well um the efficiency needs to be a little bit better uh from Deuce can’t shoot 26% and 30% from downtown Jericho man I’m always going to have

Some love for Jericho that plays with some juice he’s got great feet he’s got a soft touch around the rim we know how special of a leaper he is and he uses that to his Advantage with his strength when it comes to the offensive and the defensive glass he’s a decent rim

Protector as well uh I ain’t got any bad words to say about Jericho I thought he played with a lot of heart last night Buon gave you 19 points but he just got to be better uh 33% from the field six of 18 simply not good enough the New

York Knicks traded for you at the NBA trade deadline to be a Difference Maker and without Brunson and Randall in the game you are looked upon and asked to really carry the offense for stretch to stretch and you’re shooting 33% from the field the Knicks need Buon bogdanovich

To be much better he’s going up against second units there were guys like Garrison Matthews Trent forest and and other people I had never heard of playing when boyon was on the floor and he went six of 18 the Detroit boys they need to be better they really really do

Tom Tibido needs to be better everybody does I understand it’s hard I’m asking you to go to a gun fight with no gun but season’s on the line here I got to turn it up make sure you guys are following me over on social media Marshall Green

  1. It's not time to panic. Even if they make the play in or miss the playoffs entirely we've seen what it could be. What happened this season is an anomaly. What are the odds this would happen again? Lost the whole starting five? So now we panic? Crap on that. We'll be fine. Tweeks in the off-season and we make some noise next year. I don't mean tank the rest of the season but I don't see more than the first round win if we get there at all. But ya don't panic. Let's see what happens. Julius won't be at one hundred percent, neither will OG., nor will Mitch. Run it back next year and we steamroll through the east next season.

  2. Genius Leon rejects DM and AJ trade because of 1 first round draft choice . Knicks would be in much better shape . BB and Burkes trade a bust .

  3. I’ve always defended Thibs but what was he thinking not playing Achiuwa big minutes when they desperately needed his production on both sides of the ball. I understand the floor spacing issues but teams can win games without their two bigs being floor spacers. The Knicks with Randle, the Cavs, the Heat, Orlando all win games without floor spacing bigs. Bad decision by Thibs cost us another game.

  4. Dude, yeah, call the pharmacy immed🎉iate.. .I'm not too worried about this team and the seed in the playoffs…this team Is built to destroy any team they face.. I prefer the lowest seed not the play in, but low to face Boston.. GO KNICKS

  5. Once OG, Randall get back it will take them a month to get into rhythm.
    Knick fans are placing too much hope into their return.
    Donte is NOT a legit go to scorer…he jacks too many 3's.
    Goal- get Donovan or Booker by any means outside of Jalen, OG, hart.

  6. It’s just amazing, the knicks finally having a fantastic season about ready to potentially make some serious noise…..and then every star player gets injured and they free fall. Can’t make this stuff up.

  7. They need him for the defense and play making from attacking the rim…they gave up grimes defense for burkes offense and that was a bad decision let’s fix that
