Put Some Hornacek On Our Game: 2016 New York Knicks Offseason Thread

[JMurder]

KP didn't force Minny to move away from the highest percentage shots in the building. They continued to slash and that's why they got most of their free throw attempts and points in the paint in the 2nd half.

The 1st half was when the majority of KP's defensive prowess occurred. Of course the 2nd half (when KP was out) they would get free throw attempts and pip from slashing

Although Rolo didn't do well on the boards, KP rebounded like a forward when he's taller than most centers and with a much longer wingspan. He did not rebound the ball well. Only 6 boards. You said it was the guards boarding that prevented KP from boarding well, but then you blame Rolo for barely boarding. At least Rolo's box outs for others do hinder his boarding. You seem very biased. And now, you're making excuses for KP not guarding his man.

Rolo is also a larger mass and SHOULD be a more successful rebounder than he is. KP while at times is a good rebounder, still gets pushed around too easily

Rolo's block meant nothing? His 1.1 block average is 43rd in the league.

This part of your post means nothing. There's a difference between meaningful blocks and blocks that help the team win. Being 43rd in the league in blocks as a 7 foot center means little

If anyone should go to the bench, it's KP, not Arron, so he can guard weaker centers and stop taking possessions from Arron. Gallo can assist him.

The 4% decrease that Jose held Rubio to isn't slight. It's good for 82nd in the league. The steals were partly Jose's fault because he turned the ball over a lot. It was also 'Melo's fault for making dumb passes and KP's fault for turning the ball over 3 times. The assists weren't anyone's fault. That team is the 10th best ppg and 13th best fg% team in the league. They got shooters over there.

Again... Hindsight is 20/20...

@Derek Lee @Miles Davis

Not in this case. Offer him a partially guaranteed contract with the third and fourth year as the non guaranteed years. If Galloway's a decent rotation player for this team, somebody's gonna offer him a nice contract next season, but he's RFA so we can match their deal. I'll post Lowe's exact quotes soon.

melo not running the pick and roll with amare, when it was always effective, was stupid, and not doing it with kp is even dumber.


the fukk is melo talking about "personnel" for? the knicks have decent shooters

Transcript from 12/9 Lowe Podcast about Galloway: "Umm, the Knicks had enormous leverage over Langston Galloway, more leverage than the Sixers have had over their second round picks, because Langston is undrafted. He is the definition of a take-what-is-offered-him player, and they signed him to a two-year deal, instead of the four-year Hinkie special that the Sixers have used. And guess what? Langston Galloway is a free agent this year and the "Arenas" rule limits what he can get from he can get from other teams in a way that is helpful to the Knicks, but like, Langston Galloway's gonna become an expensive player. Now, he's slumping right now, but like that's uh... that's an example of a team that didn't use its leverage. And guess what? People in the league are laughing at them for NOT using their leverage."

Saw most of the game but a busy past 2 weeks at work had me nodding in and out. Every time I woke up Sasha was on the court tho. Why? What has this dude done to earn Teflon rotation minutes? What?? And what has Grant done to lose minutes to somebody that doesn't positively impact any area of the game?? And the reason that was a flagrant 1 on Bazz was cuz he didn't make contact. That was a crazy flop by SV and he better get a warning from the league. The refs had to access some kinda flagrant because he did throw a bow. They just didn't wanna reward the flop and throw him out.

 

[Kitsch]

I've been saying we need to sign Galloway...

 

[Playa With Tha Passport]

Galloway
Afallo
Melo
Dwill
Porz


Dfish should really use that lineup

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Well, I'm just glad Galloway is getting paid this off season; he produces no matter how many minutes he gets, and he comes off as a great guy who's really grounded and humble.

He need to start over Calderon though.

 

[K-ZOE]

Ricky Rubio is shooting 34% for the season and has shot under 40% his entire career. Jose didn't "hold" him to anything. Rubio is just garbage.

Damn...

He also said the Knicks looked at it as a good faith deal... Aka, looking out for the player and making the organization look better.

I'd rather have Galloway for two more years of service at around $1 million annually and more cap space.

I hear you... But they can also go to other free agents and say this organization looks out for their players...
