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

[Wargames]

I know dudes been talking about Fizdale..... but is he a good coach? or just a motivator?

Also I don't want the knicks to fire Hornecek for the losing, I came in day 1 expecting them too. I want the knick fire him cause he's riding the Vets and they are still losing. At least get player development from this roster.

I can't see them winning any of these road games to be honest.

You can't fire him for using guys he thinks can help win games especially since those guys were brought in by this regime primarily Jack. I think Perry was the one who said the team might look good with Timmy and Lee together. Idk much about Fizdale other than LeBron and Wade vouching for him.

You're ignoring my point to make your own. If you have Jack in the game to win the game but he's committing the same mistakes Ntilikina makes at the end of games, it doesn't make a difference.

you're not making sense
id rather the play the guy who has 22 points and 8 assists whos making mistakes, over a guy who has 0 points and 4 assists who is also making mistakes, if i'm trying to win a game.
take the names out of it.
it does make a difference since jack has been contributing the entire game.

now if we are trying to lose or tank then, by all means, throw him out there

Excellent loss tonight, we need to keep losing and drop down a few spots in the standings. We got some talent but its obvious we need a good draft pick

 

[pimpineasy]

the suitors aren't gonna be out there like that.

Beasley /Jack for Stanley Johnson from Detroit maybe?

Beasley for Rashad Vaughn from Milwaukee

Beasley for Brice Johnson from LA

Lance Thomas for Willie Reed and Wes Johnson from the Clippers

maybe Lee for Wilson Chandler

the pickings are slim because I don't see teams out on the market

Yeah and unfortunately the league has channged. Young players are more suited to this era of basketball. Why trade a young player or pick for kanter ? In this picture k n roll environment.
Not sure what our pieces would command. Oquinn maybe

 

[Stop_It_5]

CLee, KOQ, & Kanter could only derail that tank for so long


let that shyt roll in motion

Yes I understand that. But when that guy who's been playing well has a habit of fading out at the end of games and shows signs of doing it again...I mean when is enough enough? Put the kid in so at least you're having some productive minutes at the point guard spot even if it doesn't appear productive

 

[GunRanger]

I why is thj coming off the bench

 

[storyteller]

So today's the 15th (I said this is when I'd take the kid gloves off on Hornacek and Perry) and I'ma skip game breakdowns for yesterday's debacle and today's ensuing disaster (seriously, the starters played massive minutes in a big letdown so someone's gonna have to step up and Idk who even seems to be trending up...Doug and Kyle are the only guys playing limited minutes recently that have shown some upticks in performance imo. Instead I'll follow up the games with a bit of where we're at with guys and why I have so many damned complaints about the lack of play for young guys. I'd like to explain my philosophy on it and with these games being so hard to watch anyway, it gives me an angle to approach the recent trash play in a way that isn't purely talking about how much everyone is playing like garbage.

I don't care.

I don't care.

Pretty much.

The team has essentially overachieved, but now will trend towards where they should be. really bad.

I disagree, I like the talent on this team. A lot of our losses have come from poor coaching.
