put in bog at the 4
Keep Ihart At C Or Start Precious at C
Either way you cannot start both of them at the sametime. There is no spacing neither 1 can shoot at all, Or are offensive threats for the most part
Makes it worst u got the other hart who is scared to shoot and passes up open shots every game.
These bad 1st quarters are costing nyk games , and its because of this starting line up thibs has where hes playing 3 vs 5 or even sometimes 2 vs 5.
100% agree that spacing suffers but were already small, we not starting Bojan at the 4. He's already trying to play himself into thibs shape and he won't be able to play heavy minutes in that roll. Precious can play the five but would be outmatched most of the time. The best defensive lineup the knicks can throw out is P at the 4 and Hart at the 5 until we get healthy.
We only have 4 healthy players on our roster taller than 6'5. Sims Hartenstein Precious and Bojan. Bojan can get some minutes playing the 4 if we go small but Thibs not gonna do it. He never even went with a small lineup with Randle at the 5.
Once we get healthy or spacing is going to open back up and fills will be playing in their natural roles. Thibs just needs to find out how to maximize the offense of the others, which he has been trying to do with half the starters out.
Once we're healthy we won't have to have two non offensive threats at a time. But for now, since we're missing huge pieces of offense, we need to keep games close with out defense.
