“Managing your teammates, you have to know every sequence, where everybody is supposed to be, follow instructions of the coach, who’s hot, who’s not, who needs a shot, what sequence to run. All those decisions have to be made in a split second. He just needs some maturing and growing. The last couple of practices, he’s turned his jets back on. That’s what we really need him to do.’’

That Grant has looked rejuvenated in scrimmages the past two days out of the All-Star break could be a sign Rambis will give him a shot Friday against the Nets in Brooklyn as the Knicks return from their hiatus.

“His aggressiveness and ability to attack the basket, those are things we like in him,’’ Rambis said. “He’s got good length to play defense and speed to play pressure defense. We got to encourage him to do that more. But you need experience. … You can watch tape all you want. You need multiple seasons.’’

Am I bugging or did Rambis' comments sound like Grant's about to get burn and say exactly what he wants from Grant? I'm actually optimistic...but then it's Rambis...so he probably said more than they quoted and really does plan to bench the kid.

It’s tough to change those minds,” he said. “So I’m pretty good with the way I am, the way I do stuff, the way I work. Like I said, if we go position by position, or player by player, I lost every battle in that situation. I’m not going to score more points than other point guards in this league. I’m a different kind of player. It’s not fun when you want to win for the Knicks and people want you out of the Knicks.” - Jose Calderon

Welp, there goes our coke dreams. :mjcry:


Of course brehs..... Of fukking course:francis:

Bring up Jimmer on a 10 day. Even if he sticks and somebody interesting gets waived they could always waive Early for another spot. Lance isn't even nice but it's indicative of the last month or so of the season.

Rambis and the Knicks need to get serious and gut out some wins. A common theme all season has been Fisher fukking up. Hopefully at the end of the day he and his discreet fukkery and complete misunderstanding of the concept of rotation was holding the team back.

Let Grant cook with the pick and roll smh and pick and pop. Him being aggressive doesn't help if he has to be hindered by the triangle so damn much .

fukk the Wolves Breh, Khan was a joke GM.

The ref injuring Melo took them out the playoffs but they got no reason to give up on the season. They need to try to win to show FA's and possible head coaches they are a legit destination and to bury that raptors pick at the end of the lottery.

God, you can't really be this fatuous, breh. Can you??? :dead:
Besides, why isn't the re-signing of Melo to that 5 year max contract by Phil on your list of egregious mistakes instead of trading Anthony to the Bulls for assets when he was at his peak value as a Knick coming off arguably his best season ever??? :mjpls:

Because Melo's deal won't look as bad as some people are complaining once the cap goes up

Re signing melo was the right move

And besides my last comment ( which is probably true just can't be proven :mjpls:)
What did I say that was incorrect
