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

[Rev]

I didn’t like taking that last timeout with 24 seconds left and only down 1 anyway.

Lol @ Lee on those last two possessions. KP is a fukkin fool for that off-balance 3 attempt and not killing more clock on that possession. Knew the lead was doomed after that one.

 

[ikbm]

kp ddoes iso plays the majority of the time he has the ball and i havent heard one complaint yet
beastly does iso and everyone is cool lol

melo doesnt like pick and roll?

alright breh

you know why no one bytches about their isos? their isos dont take up the majority of the shot clock. they get the ball and go into their move......and if they dont got it they pass it back out
we literally pass the ball more than any year melo has been on the knicks....this is statistics. more assists as a unit too.
let your bias go bruh

 

[Stop_It_5]

that was a good play out of the break, C.Lee had a good look, just better defense to get that block


final possession was trash though

 

[ProlificLurker]

Stupid shot by KP plus bizarre substitution & playcalling by coach Hornacek down the stretch costs us this game

This is one we should have been able to pull out......damn

Actually we have been complaining about KP last few games. Too many dribbles and ISOs which is one of the reasons his game has suffered lately, catching the ball too far outside and try to cross people and stopping the ball movement.

How would offense look with both Porzingis and Melo stopping the ball trying to get their shot?

How would defense look with unathletic Melo and Willy/Noah on the floor?

How many Melo/Porzingis pick n rolls did Knicks run? How many Melo/Amare pick n rolls were ever run?

If you don't think Knicks play is exciting watch Thunder and tell me that's better.

They better get it together on the road before January hell start

Melo picks and pops, he barely rolls he’s not an efficient finisher at the rim or a smart passer off the bounce. He didn’t run as much P&R as a ball handler as he should have either. Beasley is a much better P&R option.

I’m cool with Beasley’s isos because he is highly efficient and good at getting to his spots, he dominates mismatches on cross switches.

both kp and beaslely hold the ball for too much at times and do stupid things during isolation
especially beasley
why can't we just call how it is lol?
iso basketball is iso basketball

i agree with you that melo didnt roll that much tho

i already said the knicks are more fun to watch this year
you're so caught up in this melo vs the knicks stuff that you are being emotional and not reading lol
im cool with melo not being on the team
it was time under the circustances
yall just be re-writing history and giving passes to players because of favourtism
i see every player the same

 

[K-ZOE]

441 pages and there has to be at least 1 Melo reference on 80% of em. Y'all never gonna forgive him for not being Lebron? Let it go y'all.

Courtney Lee must be tryna get his post game interview numbers up. I don't know what the fukk that shyt was

But KP coulda worked a lil harder to get himself open

We went from 3rd in isolations per game with Melo/Rose to 14th this year

KP and B-EZ are scorers I can live with their isos. My biggest complaint is KP settling for jump shots too much.

 

[ProlificLurker]

These refs letting Detroit back in the game

They was on some other shyt tonight. We shot 6 total FT's all game and they had 25

I mean I get it refs tend to be partial to the home team when it comes to foul calling but thats fkin ridiculous

 

[ikbm]

melo stans bring up melo then get mad when nikkas bring up stats thats are not in favor of melo

i cant with these nikkas
@ISO atleast i see you have some objectivity

True you did say they're more fun to watch but you also said team is not better off without Melo

I'm not a Melo hater and never have been, so I'm not emotional, I'm just being objective. He's shooting 40% in OKC and looks past it.

Now put him on Knicks team with no Kanter, where Melo doesn't want to play 4 and Porzingis doesn't want to play 5. You get a wonderful Jack, Lee, Melo, KP, Willy line up.

Spoiler

I'm mostly talking Melo because I don't want to discuss this game Baker substitution, Jack defense, KP 3, down 1 with last possession, rushing the shot and getting blocked, getting ball back down by 3 and having Lee force it again
