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

[Guile]

Giannis needs to give guys space to land next time.

Christ almighty, not KP

The kid aint deserve this. Knicks fans dont deserve this

Now we gotta fukking watch a starting line up with Beasley and Jarrett Jack in it

Blow it up, this team needs Bagley more than ever now

Gotta get him playing the 5, yeah he could have gotten hurt dunking and driving on a C, but chasing around guys on the perimeter at his size can't possibly be good for the ligaments and adds to the wear and tear.

keeping it 100....he got hurt solely cause his matchup was giannis(which is a product of him being at the 4). no other 7 footer player is even thinking of contesting that beyond KD
him matching up against 4s was a nightmare. That will be dead.
While this is bad....whenever kristaps comes back...however limited in his agility...he'll slowly be turning into a taller dirk. Players with a few exceptions comeback with better jumpshots...cause thats all they can do after a certain point. Put up jumpers...in the gym from a standstill.
he was shooting 40 percent from 3 this year. in a few years from now if he stays healthy...he'll be a lights out shooter at worst.
I'm just thinking several years in the future already....cause I dont wanna think about the present

He needs to gain some weight and make the transition to C now, they should be shopping Kanter immediately, same with Hernangomez, give Frank the starting job to sink or swim and treat next year as the RJ Barrett sweepstakes, it's already a lost season.

They cannot allow him to play PF anymore, just not acceptable.

Porzingis at 270 doesn't even seem fathomable.

There's hope

It's not the same. We're gonna see Porzingis again. It's just a matter of making sure he isn't susceptible to further injuries by playing the way he plays.

Porzingis at 270 doesn't even seem fathomable.

He doesn't need to get up to 270, he'd be fine playing C if he worked on his body more, Gobert is a little shorter and 5lbs heavier but looks a lot stronger than Kristaps. He'd be fine at 255lbs if he gains more strength, the point though is to stop allowing him to play PF. Draft Marvin Bagley, anything to force Kristaps into playing C, he's not going to last at the 4 with so many teams using wings at that position now.

Back to the pit of misery, dilly dilly!
