I only take issue with the first one, because I don't know if you're like most knick fans. The fans I know in real life understand that this is not a very good roster. They've watched games, they follow sports, they know what they're talking about. You certainly aren't like the Knicks fans I know, but I'm an adult. As are my friends.

But on THIS board? Yeah... a lot of the Knick fans are a joke, it's been long since established. And no, they are not my peers. They just root for the same team I root for... there's no kinship there.


So I'm laying waste to stupid bullshyt. Because it's easy, and I have 30 seconds to burn. But this is why I don't watch games in bars, often. People don't know who Jason Smith is. They think Thanasis is a power forward, they're not even consulting google and they're ALREADY on the internet. shyt is cringe worthy... and then you want to play like the fan base is knowledgeable... well, yes, we are. Just not on this board.

You guys love to say Bigs can't play Defense

Al Jefferson couldn't play Defense, Last Year he Anchored a pretty fukking Defense.

Hell even Bargani plays solid Man to man Post defense.

"Pau Gasol can't play Defense" ... yet the fukking Lakers went to 3 straight finals

It's not we're getting Eddy Curry or Amar'e

Monroe as your 2nd or 3rd Option is very conducive to winning

There are some that would argue he's actually best suited for the 4. They'd actually be very good together.

But I'm not sure it's the best allocation of resources to have them both (hypothetically, of course)

Melo is not long for SF any more. Gasol fits perfectly in the triangle and he plays defense.

He didn't anchor shyt, defensive schemes hid his atrocious defense.

Did you just not read what I said?

You can't be the only player on your team to be top 15 in Defensive Rating and Defense Win Shares. MGK, Kemba none of but Al was on those rankings.

The entire league took notice of how much better Jefferson got on Defense in 2013-14 & It wasn't by Scheme. Your acting like the Bobcats where running Syracuse 2-3 Zone to hid Al.

You know who played Atrocious defense the past 2 years it was Tyson Chandler.

I might be getting ahead of myself, but what if Eric Bledsoe takes his qualifying offer and becomes a free agent next year, would you guys wanna go after him? I like his game but he'd probably be looking for alot of money, and I'm not sure you'd wanna blow a max ( or near max )on him:lupe:
