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

[seemorecizzy]

Just thinking too much. Kid is only 19.

mayb
his first step is kinda slow tho
still young

 

[Columbo]

I thought it was gonna be a tough game before I even knew KP was out

I think we win the game easily if Porzingnas played

But i dont mind losing, or winning. My only fear is being a middle of the pack team...low playoff seed or just missing the playoffs

 

[QU Hectic]

Afraid of what? This is a good test to see what needs to be tweaked around the Latvian GAWD

Very true

 

[Ironman]

the willy and kuz disrespect is apparent

might as well trade em both

good effort tho, cant do much without kp

If they both get traded and Ron, Noah, and Sessions are still here

I remember this dude from freakazoid, always in background with his crazy looking ass

frank has no explosiveness breh

He's a Euro, they don't really do strength and conditioning programs like that over there, I'd put money up that the top High school basketball programs have more advanced weight lifting & plyometric programs than Euro squads do. Give Frank 2 summers of NBA strength and conditioning and he'll be a much better athlete than he currently is, he'll be wirey looking and better athletically then.

Kristaps is a much much better athlete today than he was 3 years ago.

mayb

still young

he can make improvements to his general athleticism with a few years of training here
he gets the ball thinking pass,pass, pass so i cant even truly get a great gauge on his first step...cause he drives literally 3 times a game
you can see the wheels turning when the camera pans to him and hes sitting there with a face cause the game is so much faster than the euro game
his vision and defensive instincts are impeccable tho

just look at some of these passes...particularly out the PNR
cant wait til we get this boy to go down hill with a pnr with him and KP

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Some of y'all expecting frank nitty to come out playing great straight out the gate. Let the kid used to the game first. shyt Atleast he is showing flashes. Y'all be too hard on some players.

Atleast Ntilikina > Jack, Sessions and baker

People getting greedy, he was expected to be a project and he's already ahead of schedule getting minutes in close games not even a month into his career.

yep, every scouting report said he was gonna have to live off his defensive prowess for at least two years because of how raw his offensive game was.

dude was out there knocking down big threes in the 4th Q of a tight game only a few nights ago. ahead of schedule is an understatement.

Knicks fans be expecting a 19 year old rookie from France in his first month in the NBA to come out as explosive as kyrie or John wall

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.

I was going to make a reference to what was given up in the Eddy Curry trade, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
