Miles McBride expected to stay in the rotation in place of Derrick Rose, Cam Reddish

It has been well documented how frustrated Knicks fans have been with this season, with coach Tom Thibodeau’s rotations and substitutions often at the root of a lot of those frustrations. So it was interesting to see the veteran-reliant coach go to the second-year guard Miles McBride with his first substitution 7 minutes into the game this past Sunday. McBride didn’t leave much of a mark offensively, but played a crucial part in a defensive effort that held the Cavaliers to just 81 points. But the news wasn’t just about McBride as it was about Derrick Rose, who is often the first guard in the game.
