My Posse's On Broadway: Official NY Knicks 2016-2017 Season Thread

[seemorecizzy]

We don't suck. We're average. We have a premier young talent. We have some useful bit pieces and role players, we have a decent coach.

We're just not GOOD. And definitely not GREAT -- which is why you can't lock yourself into this roster by Max'ing rose.

You're probably right

Who on earth would give Rose anything near max money? He's not worth anything near that.

I've scouted on and off my whole life. I always talk draft. Most guys in this thread don't watch a ton of college hoops, and almost nobody watches international ball or fiba juniors, so I like to mix it in to put players on everyone's radar.

I brought this forum Giannis, back in like 2011, bruh. I love this shyt. Has nothing to do with the knicks losing, more to do with impending assets in the form of draft picks.

on a dikk tho?



Yeah. I hope they get back on track - and i'm sure they will - but this team is probably going to finish within a few games of .500, plus or minus, unless something major changes.

I'll pm you. I would like to know your input on this year's St. John's team.

Rose sometimes being doing too much.

It's not even personal, because I like Derrick Rose. I've been rooting for him for years (unless he's a rapist, then fukk 'em) -- I feel for him, having had his prime and potential robbed by injuries, I know he's worked hard to get back, I know he dealt with a lot of the mental/emotional issues that come along with multiple devastating injuries... it is hard to get back from that. I just think he's a hungry ass dude who just loves basketball, and I fukk with that.

But -- I also think he is about as good as he's gonna be. And frankly, that isn't good enough, in my opinion. He is a step above what we've had a point guard. Maybe even a significant step. But our PGs have been trash. At this point, you can't build around him. There's not enough there, there - if you know what I mean. Not quite explosive enough to dominate one-on-one, not a good enough shooter to stretch the court, not quite enough vision to get by as a top level distributor. He's still strong to the hoop, still changes pace really well... he's just not great, and not even "really good" -- so you can't make him part of your long term plan.

But somebody is gonna pony up. So I hope it isn't us.

I'm about to leave work for the night, and I'm skipping out of the country tomorrow... but if you hit me with a PM, I'll holler back with some thoughts for sure.

Has derricke ver really worked on his shooting feels like hes trying to relive what he did back in 2011 with only drives to the rim. If he improved his shooting everything changes for him still see those moments of bursts but it would be nice if he had a legit jumper

 

[mvp_status]

I can't wait till yall give him that 3 year deal this summer and you try to sell yourself on him

May Embiid forego his post game to develop his range further beyond the 3 line

 

[Liquid]

Weak Defense.

But shout out to Justin Holiday who had 4 ASSISTS tonight!

Melo shooting to up his PPG for all star votes has been amusing.
