We don't mind losing, it's the way they're losing. There's no team identity, no defense, no offensive philosophy (all that up-tempo talk and then walk the ball up the court and have only 10 second left in the set), unbalanced starting line-up, no rhyme or reason for player rotations, no set plays and no attempt at player development.

None of this should surprise us though since the whole pre-season was a waste. Hornacek kept putting out useless lineups which would never be used. No wonder there is no offensive cohesion and floor spacing is terrible.

It's obvious that Lee and Hardaway together doesn't work, it's obvious Porzingis is not mobile enough to guard smaller players (other than Melo :flabbynsick:), it's obvious that Beasley is our best playmaker and would work better on the floor with Porzingis, it's obvious that having Willy and Beasley who are willing passers would make it easier for Porzingis, it's obvious that a having Kanter come off the bench would be much more beneficial to the team because 2nd string line-up of Baker, Hardaway, Lance Thomas, McDermott and O'Quinn is not capable of scoring in G League.

You're right. That would produce wins tho. I think Knick management may actually be onboard with a tank this season tho. If not then Hornacek is a complete idiot.

Im not sure whats the best move at this point, I want a high draft pick next year, but the point guard situation is so bad its bound to have a dramatically bad effect on everybody elses development. I wish the Knicks had an Ish Smith type of point guard right now.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
So let's say we land Bledsoe, Frank has an All rookie first team season, we win about 35 games, miss playoffs, and get a 6-8 pick? That's bad? That's progress to me. Why wouldn't a pick in that area be able to add to the building blocks we already have? Fultz was the consensus #1 pick. Look at him. There are no guarantees with any picks 1-29. Bledsoe is under 30 and headed into his prime. He could also be flipped for an asset down the road.

Should NY allow themselves to be raped for him? No. So I'm negging anyone who quotes this and acts like that's what I'm saying here. But shyt man alotta good players have been had this past summer for scraps. Why not us for a change?



This is looking like a 6 player draft, with the two best small forwards likely going in the first 4 picks, being 6-8 in the 2018 draft would be an absolute failure for a team with as little talent as the Knicks. It was fine for the 2017 draft because that was a very deep draft, next summers draft is not that.

Raleigh by way of Crooklyn
Who would you rather be the new coach

David Blatt :hula:Mark Jackson

Ideally I would want Mark Jackson, as I'm sure he learned whatever lesson there was to be learned from his time in Golden State. But I think it would be Blatt, it just lines up too well; his mans is Steve Mills, they played together at Princeton, I think they were in each other's wedding if I recall correctly.
