I watched every minute of yesterday's game, God knows why.... top to bottom the Knicks have the worst roster in the NBA

I even rewound some plays to get a second look at wtf was happening, spoiler alert, THJ isn't lying about cats seeming to run around with no clue where they should be going.

Right if the goal is NBA finals. Bledsoe doesn't even get you past the first round
The point of acquiring Bledsoe is to have an actual NBA quality guard, a fringe top 10 PG when healthy on the roster to feed KP, to have a stop-gap PG for Ntilikina to back up the next two seasons and develop, and to get rid of the positional log jams we have across three positions.

With Bledsoe we are still prime for a high lottery pick. You nikkas are so caught up in tanking that you don’t even see the bigger picture. The team needs to develop and will not with Sessions/Baker/Jack running the offense, with Ntlikina/Dotson/Willy not playing, and with damn near 5 SF’s, PG’s, and C’s.

Bledsoe doesn't pass unnecessary trade

Hoooooly hell. That was some bad basketball.

I don't understand the rotations. I don't understand why Dotson can't get minutes. I don't understand why they opted to sign TWO over-the-hill point guards. Nobody seems to know where to be on offense. They can't even swing it to wide open players. And the defense was... well it wasn't at all.

Their offseason was as bad as predicted. They are paying the price for trading tin cans for Melo, which we all understood when it happened. McDermott just is not an NBA level rotation player, and Kanter doesn't even bother playing defense. It's one thing to be bad, it's another just to not do it. He's like a harden lowlight reel, but it's all the time, never stopping, no supercuts.

I think Hornacek is going to lose his job, but I don't think Rambis is any better. By the way, as the defensive coach, he needs to be fired into the sun.


It's early, and I know they're going to be bad. But they didn't even play hard last night. They missed their first few shots and called it a night. An ugly turn from what we saw against OKC and Detroit.

Bruh.....he really doesn't and is just another chucker who would ignore KP and ignore other players. We have too much me players as it is:hhh:
So Bledsoe doesn't penetrate and dish better than Sessions/Jack/Baker? Eric Bledsoe does not push the ball in transition? Eric Bledsoe isn't a far better athlete and creative ball handler than anyone on our roster by far?

:comeon:

I guarantee Bledsoe would hit KP with more assists than the bums we have on our roster. So y'all don't want to clear these positional logjams by trading some of these guys away? Y'all don't want to get rid of some of these contracts? Y'all don't want Ntlikina to have a legit guard to play behind and develop?

McDermott just is not an NBA level rotation player.
I disagree. High I.Q. player, who shoots and cuts, decent athlete in space for a white boy. On another team he would be doing a lot better, you're talking about a 6'8 guy who is a career 39% 3PT and a guy who was a big time NCAA scorer. I don't think he was bad in Chicago and Oklahoma City. He has potential to be a pretty good role player.
