A Blown Knee & Flat Tires-Another NY Pothole Year: 17-18 Knicks Season Thread

[Miles Davis]

Just like Kanter, don't think I forgot some of y'all slandering Hornacek

He ain’t the coach that’ll be there when we win it all. Plus he cool with Rambis

 

[BoBurnz]

Brehs we really got a 7'3'' Dirk Nowitzki with defense

Every night he be doing this shyt and every night I am amazed. We finally got it brehs.

This must be what Cleveland stans felt when they got Bron.

why u always going to the extreme? lmao
if thats what he wants the answer is obviously no

That's not the extreme


That is the max offer teams can offer him to get him away from the Rockets, while the Rockets can offer him a 5 year $205 million contract. He's the president of the players union, he's not taking less than max, the best any team can hope for is maybe getting him on a 3 year deal but that would still be $120 million

missed the second half Just watched the condensed game on LP

Mcbuckets and Lance coming off the bench making us look like the warriors

10/11 fg

You ready to give a 6'0" 32 year old PG a 4 year $160 million deal?

You should know by now what comes with the territory whenever the knicks have either momentum or money...people go WILD man.

Remember breh, they want to keep aging stars here for some odd reason so badly. When it was clearly time to move on from Marbury people wanted him to stay as well. Not to mention the dark hole we were in just last year.

I ignore it basically. I just hope Dolan does as well.

 

[Miles Davis]

Brehs...



Is....is our son already in that?

He better not, he’s the first prince and heir to the throne. You don’t remember how bubbly she used to get around Aaron “meat sweats” aaflalo?

I spent half a season hyping the chemistry between Starbury and MICHAEL DOLEAC fam. For two years, Chris Duhon was my starting PG and I didn't bat an eye. When we gave away our draft picks, it was at least we have RANDOLPH MORRIS aka the steal. Wax poetic on Ricky Ledo's stint or Travis Wear's run and I'll school you on rosters with Jackie Butler or Ime Udoka. Jerome James' one playoff series was enough to eat a big Knicks contract and never come close to value, but I sat through it. You thought Melo was unwatchable breh? I was there when Al Harrington was our leading scorer. Jamal Crawford was supposed to be our STARTING POINT GUARD fam. It wasn't easy either, because I grew up while Spree, Houston and Camby gave us an identity after Ewing, Ward and Oakley...we signed Shandon Anderson and Howard Eisley to follow those names. You know what it's like to go from learning about an NYK mentality from John Starks and Anthony Mason winning sixth man awards to watching Lee Nailon be our tone setter while Frank Williams and Lavor Postell are supposed to be the city style ballers? Listen yall, I hope the bandwagon explodes while KP and Frank grow into a tandem we can TRULY be proud of because I think we earned that. But the newcomers just gotta understand that if they can't recognize names like Bruno Sundov and Moochie Norris; then I don't expect them to get it. But I been through a lot fam and if you been riding like I have, I just wanna say...we deserve this, however fleeting the feeling is, we deserve this. I just sat in a bar in South Carolina, SCREAMING as the Knicks closed out the Hornets and when I left the bartender made my victory shot a double. Cats next to me dapped me and congratulated me for KP's success. We been through it fam, almost two decades of struggle...enjoy the damned ride while you can.

We deserve this

 

[BoBurnz]

We deserve this

The darkness of the 2000's is finally lifted. Never again will I have to point to "yeah we had the best home record in the NBA that one year tho" or "Yo but Spree in 99 tho".

lebron is the vice president and has never taken the max

LeBron is on the max, he just keeps player options to keep pressure on teams so they make the moves he wants them to do under the threat of him leaving.


CP3 isn't worth it, you talking about winning rings and him in the same breath is comical, dude hasn't even been to a conference finals

The Knicks aren't close enough to justify either one of those guys, because both are nearing the ends of their careers, or the end of their primes, CP3 looks like he's out of his prime already to begin with. Why is it so hard for you to get that player timelines not matching is a very real thing, how could you not learn anything from the Melo years of bad moves going after vets.

DON'T TRADE O'QUINN!

My crazy post of the week...

I would actually like to see what Jeremy Lin would look like with this squad for shyts and giggles.

shyt, just for the garden fukkery. A veteran Lin and KP on a night in the garden when they are both on it would literally test the roof off the arena.

Don't take this post that serious.
