The Putback with Ian Begley: Knicks-Magic reaction with Steve Popper and Kiingdeej | SNY

[@706pudu]

People keeps saying knicks don't have a bench but they don't play consistent mins to get better. I'll judge them after they get consistent mins in a month of games

[@Gilbert-hf7pl]

I'm sure Kolek and Hurtpoti be given them the business in practice but 1990's THIBS no rookies allowed to play is crazy

[@alanalford4702]

Thibs acts like you gotta be a star to play for him. When did gd become championship Coach.

[@alanalford4702]

We lose to the undermine Magic what excuse for that Popper.

[@dlinder1640]

How does Steve know we are short handed on the bench. THEY NEVER PLAY

[@jamesdickson9140]

Enjoy Ian show...

[@craighalcromb909]

Ian, I appreciate your expertise. I think Knicks fans only see what's right in front of them and don't see the whole picture. The front office of Leon Rose and company along with Tibbs have made the Knicks an extremely respectable team. I look forward to Mitch Rob coming back and if we can get everyone currently on the roster healthy this team will be extremely formattable. Peace & Blessings

[@MFCHYLL]

In terms of getting another wing, why not just bring up TJ Warren from westchester?

[@flowhipnotic1148]

We don’t have the cap space currently to sign him.

[@donnellf8621]

Rotations and our 3pt shooting is my main concern

[@chickgeorge2341]

I believe because the pace of the game has increased since the 90's, makes more of a reason why Centers get hurt more. Centers that are 7 footers are prone for injuries. People forget KAT has a history of getting injured and not playing for an extension amount of time. OG has a history of getting injured.

[@Gilbert-hf7pl]

and as soon as he returns this going to give him 40 minutes. smh

[@brucelau2023]

We need a TEAM MEETING right now . Get out of this funk we’re in right now

[@EnterTainment-vv1qs]

What time is the meeting?

[@eastbluedrew1664]

Peek the trap card shoutout 😂

[@oldboyg8195]

The whole panel is delusional. Mitch is UNRELIABLE. Hurt EVERY year except his contract year. Surgery on BOTH ankles. PLEASE STOP THE MITCH TALK. This team is screwed. Leon Rose let his PERSONAL relationship with Kat destroy this roster. This team is and will be for the next 3 to 4 years in salary cap hell. Still HAVE to pay Bridges. And Bronson. The teams future has been sacrificed to win now. It ain't gonna happen. We stuck with 3rd tier bench players. The 30 plus years coach still cant manage a rotation or make in game adjustments.

[@Boomgoez]

Bruh the coughing into the mike

[@bb8744p]

Steve said there’s no evidence of the minutes being an issue. Even if we set aside injuries entirely I think the drop off in net rating in the 4th quarter is an indication. The full team net rating ranks 5th for full games and 26th in 4Q. If you look at starters only net rating to strip out some garbage time we go from 4th to 14th. I don’t think this team is just bad in Q4 or bad in the clutch I think thats a product of tired legs. Everyone always says don’t bother talking about rookies because Thibs doesn’t trust them. I just don’t understand the trust building process and what of Jericho Sims career has led Thibs to trust him. It’ll never happen but just toss one the rookies 10 minutes a night of non garbage time minutes and find out what we have. Better to know now than in the second round of the playoffs when the whole team is dropping like flies again and you are forced to play them.

[@jasoncole3385]

SMH stop making excuses for him your rookies cannot get any better if you're not going to play them they're not going to get game time minutes and expect them to come in and play good

[@HumbertoDelaHoz-ky6gc]

LEON ROSE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING 🗽

[@chickgeorge2341]

I do believe that a Jamal Crawford type player is what we need to come off the bench. How much would it cost to get Cam Johnson from Bk

[@andrizzy5451]

They want first round picks. And he’s got like an 18-20 mil salary.

[@danielortiz9359]

Who's coughing into the Mike?

[@andrizzy5451]

Steve should get some halls cough drops or something.

[@charlieking3115]

The bench is so f..king weak everyone knows this you got McBride and who else Sims ,Payne ,Shame can go we need a better bench. GO KNICKS

[@Gilbert-hf7pl]

HURTPORTI IS BETTER THEN SIMS AND ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE. KOLEK IS BETTER THEN PAYNE. SMH

[@supermod6168]

What about a veteran like Matt Ryan? Why doesn't he get any run? The dude is 6'7 and good 3pt shooter.

[@andrizzy5451]

He hasn’t gotten many 3’s up in the times he does play. And other teams go after him when he’s on the court.

[@markbest4587]

I'm tired of every one tip towing around tibs.we got away with the way he coaches until the playoffs when our players are gassed and other teams are fresh.this is the time to put the rookies in situational basketball. If he doesn't it's time for a change.he's a great coach just not for our team now.

[@Gilbert-hf7pl]

Also he gets out coached in the playoffs by a landslide. Better teams and better coaches

[@HectorDiaz-w2w]

Has Thibs ever won a championship or has he ever taken a rebuild young team and made them into contenders. Like i would've given mark jackson the nod he left steve kerr some team ready to win.

[@jasoncole3385]

There's no excuse. We have way more talent by far tibbs need to go

[@donnellf8621]

Ok Kingdeej...

[@HumbertoDelaHoz-ky6gc]

PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THIBS BECAUSE BEFORE THIBS THE KNICKS WERE IRRELEVANT. Are you that forgetful?

[@Gilbert-hf7pl]

THIBS brings, professionalism, discipline and organization but his player rotations, minutes management and in game adjustments are terrible
