:lolbron: glad this wasn’t as bad as the headline made it seem at first glance. They’re right.

STOP PLAYIN LIKE A PUS$Y, KP! -coach Horn

Yeah, he was terrible last night, total 180 from the last game he played. A game like that from him is an anomaly though, it doesn't really concern me.

Edit: I think Kristaps himself said he doesn't want to bulk up too much, he said he doesn't want to lose mobility.

Better get that bag ready for Kristaps, Embiid just set the market.

You know the handful of emotional idiots will ignore this, and somehow delude themselves into believing that he'll demand a trade or decline his max extension and eventually accept a qualifying offer to escape from New York. :mjlol:

This tank is gonna become unbearable for some of yall... The team right now is running experimental line-ups like a Larry Brown season coaching the Knicks; there's no continuity and not enough healthy defenders on the roster to make a difference.
Fu*kery that was Larry Brown season :mjlol: Malik Rose you're from Philly you start tonight, Jerome your dad is from Dallas? You'll start against Mavs. Q Rich you once had a threesome in Milwaukee? Suit up tonight :heh:


I know it's preseason but Hornacek is fukking up with these lineups. Under no circumstance should Sessions, Dotson, McDermott, Thomas and O'Quinn be out on the floor at the same time. If he was pulling names out of a hat that wouldn't happen. Terrible defensively, offensively, no speed or athleticism outside of Dotson. Just embarrassing, what do you gain by doing that?

I've been saying all off-season and if you didn't see it last night I don't know what to tell you.

The Knicks offense doesn't look any different than when Melo was here. Bunch of mid-range shots, terrible pick and rolls. Hernangomez is the only one that understands how to play at this point in a team setting.

So many possessions with 4 guys around the three point line with NO MOVEMENT!

Meanwhile, the Nets, a team with near playoff talent is about pace and passing. Everyone understands their role. Never giving up on D or the offensive board.

Lin on Porzingis

Starters:
Ntilikina
Hardaway
Thomas
Porzingis
Hernangomez

Bench:
Baker
Dotson
Lee
Beasley
Kanter
11th man is McDermott.
Lance ain't no starter. I'd rather see Courtney starting at the 3. Lance guards 4's decently enough so him at the 4 off the bench allows McDermott a shot at the bench 3 spot. I like Dotson...I think he needs to do more offensively to get more minutes although I think he does need rotation minutes. He's not a PG though and he shouldn't get SG minutes over Lee and they won't play him over THJR.
