Last 18/19 NY Knicks season transmission: "F*** all the haters from you to SAS" See y'all in '20

[El Bombi]

nikkas coming out the wood work to hate on the youngest team in the league.

Going so far as to give themselves Ls by offering to trade the nikka they said was better than Frank.

Goofies give us Ws even on nights that we lose games.

DSJ is 100X better than Nicotine Patch.

The L's is being hardheaded and keeping Nicotine Patch on your team.

Stop all of the defense talk because Nicotine Patch is trash on defense as well.

Better off sending him down to the G-League to develop.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

frank isnt better den dsj right now breh
wasnt better den him last year either
hopefully he can put it all together some day, the potential is there but most of the time he plays shook

you have to go deep in the nerd stats to even make frank appear to be a decent player. his stats on the surface are trash.

dsj is gonna be an 18 points, 8 assist guy in the next few years he fits perfect with the current nba

i have no idea what frank is gonna be,

Oh...

 

[Ty-Fife]

Here's to hoping Steph don't drop 50 on us next

 

[Tim Dripcan]

Nicotine Patch is not even good on defense tho.

Cool story, bro. Again what is your purpose in this thread?

It's like a lot of haters are in this thread for no reason other than to hate. Then again the GOAT said it best.

I can't wait for Knicks to develop into a great team in the future.

Like i gives a fukk about dennis smith jr

If you wanna bring up Donovan Mitchell thats a different story

Cant change history. Frank is still very young, way too soon for me to write him off. He cant even buy alcohol yet. Seems silly to me. Its obvious a few of Franks haters are trolling. I won't mention them by the name, its best to ignore them and not quote them. They just want attention

you nikkas sit around and have an obsession with scoring guards.
players that alienate the entire offense and only passes it to the roller in the pick and roll...and then wonder why the offense is stagnant and slow as fukk and predictable particularly when we start games. I'm looking at trey burke. when his offense isnt going...which it hasnt outside of one quarter in the 5 games we played so far.
from watching frank, he's hesitant cause his improvisational skills are lacking.....he deciphers what he's going to do and runs the offense based on a play before the possession truly begins...which is pretty cerebral..he's very smart....while that may not be good sometimes.....it's good for the morale of the team....other people get the ball...ball movement occurs.....which can energize a team on the other end.
trey will come down....call a pick and roll with kanter....and if he doesnt shoot and passes it to kanter....them two will be the only ones touching the ball on that possession extremely predictable.....OR, OR...they do the same exact shyt with timmy....except he'll take a contested 3....or pass it away as a last resort cause he cant get his shot off
frank picks and chooses his offense because he's over thinking and looking for ideal circumstances to getting a "good, open" look. it's why he doesnt go to the line...
when things break down and arent the ideal...superstars use improvisational skills to get to the line...or react to what the defense is giving them. frank doesnt have that yet. Just hoping he realizes he has a 6'7 frame and can use that to his benefit...particularly cause his handle is improving...and his finishing at the rim in the few times I've seen him...has improved....finishing with his off hand and all. he's definitely in a process.
I'm convinced its a bunch of box score watchers that get their nut off on basic statistics and are not processing whats actually happening with their eyeballs.

 

[Kitsch]

We're not even 10 games in.
Frank this, Frank that. I don't get it.

your pretty much describing every elite point guard in the nba

Remembers, Chef was a PICK away

 

[ISO]

It's clear that DSJ & Luka can't coexist.

How is it clear it's been like 3-4 games

Their skillsets compliment each other very well actually.

 

[ISO]

This glorified game of horse 3 pointer shyt is just a blasphemous style of basketball.

I hate that the NBA is trending towards this.

 

[storyteller]

My breakdown got deleted after damn near everyone was written up except the throwaways like Kornet. So I'm cuttin' to quick bits:

1. Trey Burke is good for scoring but that's it. He doesn't have the floor awareness to punish a collapsing defense consistently and when his roll man is covered there's an instinct to just shoot.

2. Timmy's decision making was better last night but watching him jaw at Trey Burke and Enes Kanter wasn't cool to me. Either do it calmly or do it during time out but don't make a scene on the court midgame when you're the biggest culprit for going under screens and late help (leading to and-ones).

3. Kanter can either slow down the PnR ball handler or he can stop the roll man from getting the ball. But he can't do both simultaneously which means when guards go over screens, they get punished more often than not.

4. Frank runs the pick and roll really well. If you hone in on those plays, he's productive point blank. The past two games, he's still splitting time between SF who sits in the corner as a decoy and primary ball handler, but the additional opportunities have led to back to back 5 assist games. 5 assists on limited opportunities is pretty damned good. His three pointer is looking much improved too. But he still only takes what the defense gives him right now and could do with improvising more often for sure.

5. Dotson should start. Let Burke be the guy you sub in and keep in when he's hot, but otherwise let Dotson get out there. He has the best motor on the team, a pure form from range, flashes some handling and played better D than even Frank last night. It was a Khris Middleton-lite game for him. Oh yeah...10 boards too, how long have I been on about his rebounding?

6. I actually was ready to applaud Lance since he made three's and grabbed 6 boards...still a 15 mpg guy in an optimal situation but my God are the rest of our wings bad on defense (honestly that might be why the Frank at SF experiment started too)

7. Mario goes Wario and isn't good enough to do that. He needs a shorter leash when he presses.

8. I really like Vonleh but he'll be undersized against bigger C's and it showed last night.

9. Mitch needs minutes. The Frank/Mitch PnR was really effective but they went to giving Baker chances to run the offense.

10. Baker doesn't need to play imo.

your pretty much describing every elite point guard in the nba

false. curry comes up and lets other people initiate the offense literally all game. is he not elite? he just knows when to be aggressive
steve kerr said he could call a curry, kd pnr all game and get a good shot every time...but what is it for the rest of the team. you leave people not engaged on offense...they suffer on defense.
the elite point guards call pick and roll and know how to hit the roll man, score, or make the skip pass that may lead to a hockey assist.....basically what cp3 does, what kyle lowry does, john wall, to a lesser extent kyrie.
you're applying elite point guard logic to a roster without an elite point guard regardless.
trey out here dribbling with his head down and shyt
i'd rather someone initiate a functioning offense than someone dominating the ball thats not elite to begin with.

the problem is, our starting line up consists of 5 players who would come off the bench for any elite nba team. trey thomas kanter tim all were bench players until they came here.

they are being put in roles that dont match their skill set. in other words, the team is trash

its up to fitz to bench players if hes tellin dem to run a offense and they arent listening. doesnt seem like we are running anything tho
