• Podcast Locked On Knicks · 6 points · 39 h ago
  • Gavin Schall: The host's view is that Shamet is not quite the shooter Miles McBride is, despite Shamet's playoff run. at 8:49
  • Gavin Schall: A five-shooter lineup played two to three minutes in the fourth quarter: Brunson, McBride, Shamet, Anunoby and Towns. The host says this unit played 11 possessions last regular season and 5 in the postseason. at 9:20
  • Gavin Schall: Mike Brown did not close the game with the five-shooter unit. He closed with McBride over Bridges, so Bridges was not guaranteed a closing spot, and he closed with Josh Hart. at 9:45
  • Gavin Schall: The host wants Brown to use shooting-heavy lineups as often as possible and calls the Brunson, McBride, Shamet, Anunoby, Towns unit unguardable if Brown leans into it. at 12:27
  • Gavin Schall: Miles McBride hit four threes down the stretch to keep the Knicks close. at 17:26
  • Gavin Schall: The host believes Derek White set a blatant, uncalled moving screen on McBride that freed Paul George for a late corner three. at 18:07

• Podcast The Zach Lowe Show · 4 points · Oct 19
  • Zach Lowe: Zach described the Knicks' extension drama as a tabling of negotiations with Towns, Josh Hart, McBride and others. at 4:36
  • Fred, explicitly speculating: he could see McBride no longer being on the Knicks at the trade deadline. He framed it as a roster-building effect of the extension situation, not a vibes issue. at 16:35
  • Fred: McBride makes less than $4 million this year, which he called insane value for a sixth man. A McBride trade is hard to build because the Knicks can't take on more money. at 18:42
  • Zach Lowe: Zach: the Knicks could absorb losing McBride with Alvarado, Clarkson and possibly Kolek, whose long-term future with the team he called uncertain. He said they are overloaded with guards and that McBride is not make-or-break for a repeat. at 16:42

  • Gavin Schall: The host says Deuce McBride 'might get traded'. at 11:20

  • Gavin Schall: In the third quarter McBride threw a bounce pass/turnover that the host says gave up a three in a game the Knicks lost by six. at 28:34

• Podcast Locked On Knicks · 4 points · Oct 21
  • Gavin called Landry Shamet playing ahead of Miles McBride in the rotation probably the most significant Knicks-specific development from this game. at 25:43
  • XJ: Talking about Shamet and McBride, XJ said one of them has a four-year, $24 million contract that he called an absolute steal, and the other is a free agent next year. He did not say which player is which. He also asked whether the Knicks would pay McBride double what Shamet makes for maybe 20% more production, and answered that they probably will not. at 26:39
  • XJ: XJ thinks Miles McBride is the better player overall than Landry Shamet. He said Shamet has improved tremendously, especially his shooting. at 26:44
  • XJ: XJ predicts Miles McBride will be traded, probably for a center but possibly for a wing or another piece. He said the Knicks want to shore up the center spot even with James Wiseman, largely because of Towns' fouling. at 8:52

  “The Knicks Have One Concern Coming Out Of Ring Night” · listen ↗

  • Wiseman did not process a double team in time and had the ball stripped, even though Miles McBride had called the double out. at 8:33
  • On one defensive possession Wiseman stayed in a low stance with arms wide and slowed Kawhi Leonard, letting Miles McBride strip him from behind. The host says Wiseman has consistently shown this this preseason. at 10:14
  • Deuce McBride's line Miles McBride: 8 points on 2-of-7 shooting, 0-of-4 from three, 4-of-5 at the line, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 turnovers, a steal and a block. at 16:29
  • Despite modest stats, the host thought Miles McBride was perhaps the only Knick who looked like he belonged on the floor with the Raptors, with apologies to Wiseman. at 16:38
  • The Knicks ran a guard-to-guard screen with Alvarado as ball handler and Miles McBride short-rolling. The host had not seen much of this from Mike Brown and thinks it might be a new wrinkle in the playbook. at 16:57
  • Miles McBride handled midcourt blitzes well, including a skip pass to Alvarado. The host notes handling pressure has historically not always been a strength for him. at 17:21

  “James Wiseman And The Knicks Bench Get A Stress Test” · listen ↗

• Podcast Locked On Knicks host · Analysis · Oct 13

  “A (Slightly) Concerning Night For The New York Knicks” at 24:03 · listen ↗

• Podcast Locked On Knicks · 11 points · Oct 12
  • Gavin Schall: Host opinion: Deuce McBride might be one of the 10 best shooters in the world. A contested shot-making stat points to top five, but the host hedges that this may be a stretch. at 2:50
  • Gavin Schall: Host recalls a 10-game stretch last season in which McBride shot 'like 46 of 84'. at 3:02
  • Gavin Schall: Host analysis: if Josh Hart is guarded the way he was in the playoffs, he has to be valued over McBride, because he played all-NBA-level defense for most of the playoffs. at 3:37
  • The hosts say McBride was not healthy during the Finals run and played through an injury most players would not play through. One host refers to a 'broken busted finger'. These are the hosts' words, not a medical report. at 4:04
  • XJ: Ages as stated by the hosts: Hart is 'pushing 32 years old' and McBride is 26. at 5:56
  • XJ: Host opinion: looking further ahead, he would probably lean toward keeping McBride, because of the value his shooting adds. at 7:00
  • Gavin Schall: Host analysis: McBride could be better in two years, but there is no world in which Hart is better in two years than he is now. at 28:52
  • Gavin Schall: Host analysis: Shamet is a different kind of shooter from McBride and does not provide the same deep spacing. at 30:26
  • XJ: Host prediction: McBride will be traded, and the host feels very strongly about this. The other host earlier doubted there would be another playoff run with McBride. at 30:55
  • Gavin Schall: Host analysis: concerns about McBride's lack of size have not shown up on the court. Specific matchups can exploit it, but the team can adjust in those matchups. at 31:24
  • Gavin Schall: Open question: maybe only the smartest teams really value McBride, so would those teams give the Knicks something of substance for him? at 31:58
