Kemba on the Knicks

After reading through this thread, I have 1 question, they play defense in the nba?

I would say at best 20% give it their all on the defensive side, painful to watch the lack of effort.

Okay put him on the bench. Who’s minutes does he take Rose,Quickley, or burks? None.

But I get it, expecting the boneyard to be objective about Kemba is a tall task at best.

All those guys have always been in the rotation, with Kemba. Burks isn't even a pg. When everyone is healthy put him on the bench, give him the minutes he was planned to have backing up RJ and Fournier. Thibs overreacted to one game that Burks ran the point out of desperation, and it was a disaster going 1-7.

Obviously a UConn forum isn't going to be completely objective about Kemba but that doesn't mean a more critical take is automatically right.

Everyone played in the rotation with Kemba starting. There was no good option with him off the bench. Anyways Thibs said he will be the starter going forward

I think Kemba looooves being in New York. The Knicks might move him but I don't think it will be because Kemba wants to go.

He probably likes playing more than he likes New York. So if Thibs puts him back on the bench I'm sure he won't mind getting traded. But he doesn't seem like the kind of guy to demand a trade. Like lots of other professional athletes!

Exactly. Id love kemba to retire as a Knick.
 
Knicks down by 14 to what can only generously be called an NBA team in the Pistons right now
 
Tough game for Kemba and all the Knicks starters. -116 combined for the 5 starters and +151 for the bench

Kemba can't play extended minutes back to back. He was not moving well. And Randle is a mess.

Knicks won so no biggie. It was a back to back where Kemba normally wouldn't have played at all if Knicks at full strength. The Knicks starters have played a ton of mins last 5 games with the bench mostly out with Covid.

The starters including Randle, Kemba , Robinson didn't have legs tonight so Thibbs smartly went with Bench for final 18 mins. The bench was well rested and fully capable of beating depleted Pistons.

Definitely not concerned about Kemba, Randle on the other hand...

I'm not sure that's how that stat works

When all we're talking about is showing how bad the starters were, it does. Of course it doesn't mean they were outscored by 116 points, but plus minus is one of the more basic basketball stats out there so didn't think that needed to be said

Just making sure.

Never know 'round here - jk
 
Kemba has still got game-even if its offensively-oriented.. Plenty of NBA teams need O from the PG/CG position..

If Tibs doesn't want want him..Set him free!!
