The effect on the court is a mess! Maybe the Knicks backcourt star shouldn t stay in the rotation lineup?

In a previous NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals G4, the Indiana Pacers, who played at home, defeated the New York Knicks 130-121. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 3-1 and successfully won the match point; while the Knicks were in huge trouble, they were already stepping on the edge of the cliff with one foot.

In this game, the performance of the Knicks' substitute backcourt star Miles McBride was very disappointing. McBride played 14 minutes and 31 seconds in the game, made 1 of 3 shots and 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, scored 3 points and 2 rebounds, and had a turnover, with a plus-negative value of -14. McBride's performance on both offense and defense is very mediocre. He has not shown enough scoring ability on the offensive end, and his outside shooting stability is not very ideal. As a short backcourt player, his passing and organizational ability are also very limited, and he is targeted in various defensive ends and has not shown basic defensive ability at all. McBride doesn't play much, and his performance on the court is not ideal, which has affected the overall competitiveness of the team to a certain extent and led to the team's defeat.

In the NBA regular season this season, McBride played a total of 64 games in 82 games, averaging 24.9 minutes per game, averaging 9.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1 steal, 0.3 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He shot 40.6%, three-point shooting percentage 36.9%, and 81.3% free throw shooting percentage. In the playoffs, McBride averaged 19.5 minutes in 16 games, with averaging 6.1 points, 1.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.1 blocks, 0.6 turnovers and 1.2 fouls, shooting percentage of 38.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 36.8%, and free throw shooting percentage of 80%.

In fact, McBride's performance during the playoffs was not without highlights. He was able to show certain scoring ability in some games before. However, in this round of the series, the situation changed significantly. It was obvious that the Pacers' defense was better, and McBride's performance also showed a significant decline. His characteristics on the offensive end were unable to be played, and he was even beaten up in various ways on the defensive end. It is no exaggeration to say that even Landry Shamet is better on the court than him. As the team faces a back-to-back battle, the Knicks also need to make some adjustments to the rotation lineup. Maybe they should also adjust McBride from the team's rotation lineup next, otherwise the team will lose points as soon as he appears. How should he play this game?
