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 :mjcry:
Yall mustve forgot young Dirk




Kp never was that smooth or quick. KP shpuld be lookin


Kp needs to be the 5. No more bullshyttin about it. He's too slow for modern PFs

Dirk couldn't play defense even close to KP.

Dirk couldn't drive to the basket as well as KP.

KP is a special talent and hope he will be able to comeback.

We got 27 games left to play this season. To say we shouldn’t win more than 5 of them is an understatement. Especially considering all the bottom seed teams are on a losing streak as well.

Nets, grizziles, suns and bulls are all locked in tank mode and we’re still 4 games ahead of them.

Knicks got the worst record since Christmas, they've been playing catch up slowly and that was WITH KP. This injury really sucks especially during a season most of us had already checked out on. But hopefully the strengthening exercises for his lower body (really the muscles around the knee) helps him come back with some more weight to hold down. The only saving grace would be getting into that top five, then KP would be coming back to some real help.

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.
It's unbelievable.

I've been calling for the move to 5 all season long. It was painfully obvious that he can't keep up with 4s. Only small forward he could stay in front of was 33 year old Melo.

How can we in this thread see it but the coach, assistant coaches, Mills, Perry and everyone else be so oblivious or careless?
