Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
KP at the 5 is not something you wanna do right now. He's in a groove and you don't wanna mess with it. Don't waste Porzingis at the 5 because y'all dream of dropping 125 a night.


Porzingis at the 5 is what the long term vision should be, and taking guys who can fit into that vision now and later on should be part of how the team is built long term.

Whether it's starting him there or like @ikbm said playing him at the 5 in "Death lineups" the team should have a roster that is capable of maximizing that if they do it.

How do we avoid having to make comebacks every night tho? Should we just start Lance? Or do we like the change of pace at the end of games? KP, Frank and Lance really put the clamps on nikkas in the 4th.

Those 4th quarter opponent shooting percentages... :ohlawd:
honestly, i wanted lance to start from the beginning
but it seems like horn knows what hes doing
so for now, id just have him come off the bench
if we start losing and shyt, that something we should consider

He's a Queens nikka.

I'm sorry, I need this Breh on my squad. He's 90s Knicks ball. Our Oakley

McDermott is just really showing promise. I like him alot.

@ikbm Good fukking call on that switch to the 5 prediction.
Straight up box score stuffer, pure energy/effort guy. He's the one who I was genuinely worried about getting lost in the shuffle of bigs.

Long term as in way down the line. It's not something they have to worry about now, especially when they have a center with promise in Hernangomez who looks good alongside Porzingis. Porzingis won't need to deal with moving to the 5 til the end of his 2nd deal.

Showing faith in the backups during that comeback run. Leaving Frank in to close games. I know a lot of us had guys we were high on from last season coming into this one, but Hornacek has a very good grip on this squad right now. His timing has been on point, and his leashes on players haven't been too short or too long. I'm not afraid of Willy riding the bench for the time being. I'm apprehensive as hell at the prospect of Noah coming back, doe:francis:
We can't just cut buy Noah out:mjlol::hhh::francis::picard::wow::sadcam::mjcry:

I hate to beat a dead horse and bring up Melo but this teams so much more fun to watch without the horrible iso ball
I have refrained from doing it in this thread anymore. That's the past. I think some of us beat that into the threads over the past few years and the results speak for themselves.

We are done with that dark stretch. Things are looking up, Hit up the Sbarro across the street after the game and just chill :hubie:
