"Death to the Pessimistic State of Mind" - Nas Voice: NYK '23 Pre-Season Thread

[Th3G3ntleman]

The Kemba + Fournier duo is too much for even a Thibs coached defense to support.

 

[ikbm]

We generate no easy looks in the starting lineup. absolutely none. no fast breaks, no lobs to mitch, just julius isos and 3 pointers from cold shooters.
As soon as the bench comes in obi is running out on the break, everyone plays faster, all the ball handlers attempt to get in the paint.

Every game they struggle at the beginning of the 3rd and it translates to the rest of the game . Unbelievable

Thibs needs to start Burks at this point

Fournier and kemba combo don't work starting

It barely worked in Boston

Randle seems to be better with burks

Also thibs gotta run some hybrid triangle plays like in chicago

 

[ikbm]

Terrence Ross +16

Nothing else to say at this point.

terrance ross is literally the 2nd worst player in the league when it comes to plus minus. lol

And that’s what makes it even more excruciating that these fukks continue to let this man ball well against them.

Nah... Nobody remembers.

But...










I'd understand if the only magic fan remembers something like that.

Something has to change in the starting lineup. Barrett going 0-8 from three (and losing his touch) Kemba being atrocious on defense, Fournier (I don’t know what he’s doing anymore) and Randle looking absolutely lost without Reggie bullock is a serious issue.

The drop off from Bullock to Fournier is way worse than I could have imagined. Tibs don’t even play him in the fourth anymore. The Knicks allowed Atlanta to bully them into making a very very dumb off-season move

Rj is needed for defense and is one of the only starters who can get in transition .
Fournier is shocking how bad he is on offense wow

 

[Raquinotj]

Can’t believe Knicks are paying Fournier $17M+ to sit on the bench most of the 4Q every game.

And when he’s in he’s hardly shooting…and the team sucks at shooting still. Should’ve just kept Bullock for that.

He had one good game on opening night. That’s all for this deal. His defense is atrocious. Him and Kemba are Basura.

im SHOCKED it’s not working out

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Rj had better chemistry with Reggie bullock. We spent 98 million on the backcourt and it’s been a waste. Bullock ability to run around the court with that quick release made RJ life easier when he attacked the defense

 

[TOAD99]

Something has to change ASAP

I knew 50 wins was a pipe dream but I was thinking around 44-45

 

[Illuminatos]

So the starter’s can’t even hang with the worst team in the league huh?
