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

[ProlificLurker]

If you allow Tobias Harris to hang 31pts on you, your squad doesn't deserve to win




Terrible loss

Well, blowing a double digit lead to the pistons sure does sting.

We knew it was gonna be a rough season, but we’re getting exactly what we wanted. KP clearly showing he’s a franchise player, we should get a top 3 pick and possibly pair him with a PG like doncic and KP’s production will be better with less effort.

I don’t like that we’re not playing Willy in favor for kyle and kanter, but I’m optimistic the reason is because we’re getting their trade value up.

Games like that are why the Knicks need someone to play next to Porzingis in a smallball lineup, he's just not quick enough to check these tweener SFs that are playing at PF. I know dude wants to play PF, but as good as he is defensively he has no business trying to check 6'8-6'9 guys that can go off the dribble.

You think someone like Deandre Ayton can be that guy? It's early but if the Knicks get the #1 pick who would you choose?

You think someone like Deandre Ayton can be that guy?

Nope, but if Ayton is on the board they have to take him because his talent level is extremely high. That said, I think the Knicks will be looking at Donic or Porter even if Ayton is there because they have a gang of centers, and there's a hole at the 3 for them.

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

The Knicks are like the Giants when it comes to addressing known flaws in their lineup. We needed pg help for years and this is the best they can get. I like Ron Baker as a player but please don't have him run an offense. It's beyond ugly and his handle is broken. He can't handle pressure or run the pick and roll.

This team feels like the Anthony Davis Pelicans teams, there's just not much else other than KP. Hopefully the Knicks show better progress than New Orleans.

Which is crazy because he fukked up the tank a few years ago

1st step get signed to a major deal
2nd step fight to become tank commander
3rd step get hot at the last second and fukk up the tank

easy 3 step process brehs

Not to nitpick because he had a really great game but I definitely need KP to grab more than 5 rebs in a game.

I dont expect him to ever be the type of player to consistently grab 10 rebs a night but at 7'3 I definitely want to see him get more than 5 boards.

He had 12 last game. Let’s just calm down a bit, he has been “the guy” for 8 quarters.

He might still be shocked at how fast it is all coming to him considering the drastic change so quickly.

 

[GunRanger]

I just dont understand not playing willy. Save his trade value? Build up kanters? None of this makes sense



And kp needs to play the 5

 

[ThaBronxBully]

Would Sure Be Nice To See KP, Willy & Frank All Play Together

 

[Derek Lee]

The only explanation I have as why Quinn playing more than Willy because you’re they’re to get his trade value up.

Because Jeff can’t be that stupid right?

Nah, O'Quinn and Kanter are both known commodities in their respective careers by every NBA front office at this point in their career. Can't fetch any decent assets for either of these dudes anyway. It's gotta be based on what Hernangomez is doing in practice and preseason games.

 

[The War Report]

Embrace the tank.

 

[Monsanto]

I'd prefer we use Doug and use him like KorverWhy hasn't there been a KP pick and roll or pick and pop?? Bruh one of the oldest plays in history doesn't get utilized??

The same thing I ask every season. Pick and roll is deadly. When we had Melo, a great mid-range and finisher and now KP.

Offense doesn't make any sense.

Why is Kanter standing at the 3-point line?

I don't know if I can spend money to see this team play this year. Might have to be on the balcony.

 

[Monsanto]

Oh yeah, signature New York 3rd quarter breakdown.

This team man.
