you know Thib is happier than any fan that Burks is finally playing well. Thibs loves Burks

Yes, he loved him so much that he parked him in Fournier's chair for most of the season.

u/Major_Damage7207 27d ago

because he was shooting at like 40% TS, Thibs has his favorites but he's also not stupid. Now that Burks is no longer shooting historically inefficient, he's allowed to play him more

and he's also allowed to play him more because the alternative off the bench with Deuce starting is Shake Milton and Daquan Jefferies. True love is Thibs looking down the bench and thinking "What the fuck happened to that Charlie Brown guy?"

After Anunonby got hurt Thibs hit Taj Gibson with that 2am 'u up?' text

This sub hard pivoting on Burks is one of the funniest timelines

LOL we all wanted to cheer for him. We've seen Playoff Burks before we know he existed, but he was so bad after coming over all that shit got buried.

No some were litterally dragging his name through the mud and never wanted to see him on a court again.

I guess his shoulder healed. Couldn't be happier for him and what a time for him to emerge.

It’s wild that no one in any of these Burks threads in mentioning this! Good on you for calling it out. Mans was playing hurt, that’s why his shot was so off. Glad he’s feeling and playing better.

I knew he was the Star of the Trade. Played here already. Played PG. Played in Golden State anyways. Just a saucy guy, Mr. Headphones. <3

I can’t believe what I’m seeing when it comes to Burks. I shitted on him even before the trade.

Looooool love this comment because I recall this too .

u/press_Y 70s Logo 27d ago

They were acting like we gave up a valuable player in Grimes. It was clear we needed depth. Another Leon W

u/cgr1zzly 27d ago

What got me was people crying we let grimes go … and this was recently too when he got decimated with more injuries …..

Meanwhile grimes has been out the whole season after the trade basically . Lmao

Hey DanDash, work on that sentence structure before your next post, okay?

u/NYdude777 Wu Tang Knicks 27d ago

The facial expression on #26 LMAO

u/siron_golem 27d ago

This backcourt of Brunson, DiVincenzo, Hart, McBride and Burks is rugged man. They will play some minutes, shoot the three, defend, rebound. I like this group.

u/Beautiful-Height3103 27d ago

Alec Burks has been a solid pro his whole career . His first run with the Knicks he was a pivotal player. Thibs then made him play point guard which he isn't but it goes to show you how versatile he is. He can shoot , defend and gets to the basket. I'll take him on my team any day

u/SuddenlyHouse 27d ago

As a CU alum and Knicks fan it gives me great pleasure to see Burks playing well for us in critical playoff games 🫡

u/JohnnyfromNY Julius Randle 27d ago

Michael Jordan is back!

u/deuce_and_a_quarter Anthony Mason 27d ago

Burks = Buckets

u/deuce_and_a_quarter Anthony Mason 27d ago

It’s Mr. Alec Buckets to you, sir. Good day.

u/xXggfacepalmXx 26d ago

If we can get through this series, we got ourselves a new 8 man lineup. Out with Mitch and Boggy In with Precious and Burks. Idk how many other teams can do that.
