Ayo the fukk am I reading on this page??? Smack who are these nikkas??

Im going through the Knicks roster now on 2k18, Tim hardaway Jr will likely get superstar minutes. I hope they use him as the 2nd option with of course Porzingis being the 1st. If Beasley... Fukk it, i hate him. I cant calm down, i dont want him on the team. Id rather see Lance in there

I wonder how Hornacek will handle the minutes distribution between Willy, Noah, OQuinn and Kanter

 

[ikbm]

allan houston ok with this white boys number choice?

In a perfect world Noah wouldn't be here, Willy would be starting, Lee and Quinn though I hate it he needs to be traded to other squads. They can definitely help out some teams out there. Kanter can come off the bench but Herns earned a chance to start.

Quinn might stick past this year unless they think he needs to get paid something crazy.

Lee is a quality guy and just like Melo should get sent to a playoff team to not waste the end of his prime. Package him with that Chicago Pick and move into the late First

I wouldn't complain if he's able to stay but I think he's going to get DNP or blowout time statusPhil you forever for Noah

A lot of passing in this video.... No real ISO ball.

Also peep young Frank Nitty practicing with the starters

Start him let him get his feet wet

I know the Knicks got a couple days but it's good as hell to have preseason basketball on. Lakers/Minne wasn't a close game, the Lakers kids played their age aka sloppily but it was entertaining as all hell to me. Lonzo moving the ball effortlessly, Ingraham having the most bizarre coordination in the nba, KAT doing KAT things, Teague blasting past people, Kuzma looking like a steal, Shabazz looking like we shoulda signed him....It was nice to have NBA basketball back.

Lowkey, I'm optimistic to see our Younginckas ball with no pressure

Jeff Hornacek wasn’t sure what to expect when Frank Ntilikina arrived in New York, but heading into the Knicks’ preseason opener Tuesday, the coach is already convinced the 19-year-old rookie is capable of making an immediate impact.

“We have NBA players on the team that he’s battled with, and he’s showed that he can play in this league,” Hornacek said following Saturday’s practice. “The one thing that is probably the ultimate sign that you’re good enough to play in this league is when you’re gaining the respect of your veteran players on your team. The guys are already talking about him and the plays that he’s making. When you have the respect of those older guys, you’re doing something right.”

Though Ntilikina was seen as a great fit for the triangle offense, Hornacek noted the rookie’s selfless style has allowed him to develop an instant rapport in the new, faster-paced system.

“Guys gravitate towards him,” Hornacek said. “They see how he is with the game, and how he’s not playing selfishly, and how he’s trying to play the right way.

“I think the surprising thing for me as a coach is how knowledgeable he is about the game, and how he reads things. Coming in, you saw some of his raw talent, you saw his length on tape, but when you’re here every day watching him play, seeing the plays that he makes, finding the mismatches and getting the ball to that guy quickly. He comes down the court and realizes this guy didn’t get a shot the last three or four times. He seems to call a play that fits right there. It’s something that he’s probably not even necessarily thinking about. It’s just natural. Not many guys have that. That’s what’s been impressive.”
