@god shamgod lurking Must be a new season cause our thread is getting invaded again

 

[ISO]

This team will be mediocre for a while. I don't expect them to make it past the second round if this dude is the best player on the team over the next 5 years. And I'm willing to make a ban bet on that prediction.

I’d be shocked to make it out Round 1 without an extremely favorable matchup with Randle leading.

 

[AVXL]

You looking real foolish here

why would a team that went from 4th seed suddenly drop down to the 9th/10th seed even though they’re bringing the same players and got back even better players in Fournier, Kemba, Mitch

Boston has made zero moves and are bringing back what is essentially the same roster without a pg

Chicago couldn’t do shyt with Zach and Vuc and it’ll take some time to gel with demar

Charlotte they’re gonna be fun but they’re one Hayward injury away from the lottery and we know he’s made of glass

and honestly even Miami ain’t scary like that

you guys are also not going to be the second seed. I’d wager 4th seed for y’all and we’ll be around 5-6

Bro y’all are a team full of try hard guys. Kemba’s knees are shot. Fournier is mediocre to decent. Who gives a fukk about a Mitchell Robinson outside of Knicks fans? DRose ain’t got much more left and Randle showed you who he was in the playoffs. I thought Toppin was supposed to take the next step or IQ? Now you gettin overpriced vets who aren’t gonna move the needle to take playing time from them

Y’all off-season been mid asf but fukk it I guess I’m hating according to you

 

[AVXL]

Chicago and Charlotte won’t be good defensive teams.

I agree with you but I’d bet on Lavine or Ball doing more damage in the playoffs than anyone currently on your roster

tobias harris out here making 180 over 5 years.
it's a good contract.
rudy gobert got 200+ mill and literally was exploited explicitly on defense (his best skill) in the playoffs.
where his contract is in relation to his production last year...its a good deal and gives way for the knicks to have flexibility down the line
clearly julius needs to improve but this is the price of doing business.
Im not tryna hear nothing about a john collins in comparison to julius...cause that man would be dog shyt as a 1 option trying to carry a team at the bottom of the league in salary cap.
they paid that man based on how good trae young makes him.
we need more talent down the line in order to go anywhere.....but I'm just looking forward to more progression this year.
progression isnt linear either.

 

[nyknick]

The deal pretty much established the Knicks aren’t winning shyt this decade.

What would you prefer we do, give him $40 million a year next year or let him leave as expiring next year?

Bulls just gave the same money to DeMar Derozan, we should consider ourselves lucky.

Correct, progression to a 6 game first round series loss from 5 games is still progress

to you for being the first to admit it

[#1 pick]

You giving these guys too much credit. This is a play in level team next season. I’d take the

MIL
ATL
BK
PHI
MIA
BOS
CHA
CHI

Indy/NYK gonna be battling for that vaunted 9/10 play in positioning if all goes well for them

I think you underestimating the Knicks too much like some people underestimate us. They got a very good team and many players who fit the system. They won't be as good defensively as they were last year but they will be better on offense and the overall balance should help them more than hurt them. We gotta remember, their bench is generally how they beat teams. Especially since the Rose trade. I would say the east is a 6 team race. The same 6 teams from last year but everybody is much better outside of the champs and Philly.

Boston still got a couple of moves which can bring them into the convo and Chicago has to prove it first as we did and the Knicks did last year.

 

[Kirk Thuglass]

hawks fans come in here talking like defending champions

At the end of the day it’s a Thibs team. Which means the team will defend and grind regular season victories. Our offense on paper is much better. So I don’t see those teams seeding above us.

Wouldn’t bank on Ball showing out in the playoffs off rip his offense is predicated on threes and he’s never been in the playoffs.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Atlanta fans now want to talk acting like they didn’t hit their ceiling already and truth be told if it wasn’t Ben Simmons folding the second round would be their ceiling.

If this isn't sarcasm I'll rep....

 

[Wargames]

Knicks been eating off that Porzingis trade for a minute and they still eating

 

[seemorecizzy]

It isn't like he's played without a crowd for years it was just last season He'll be fine

the problem is, his first season with us he played in front of a crowd and was terrible.

i know yall blame that on the coach, but when da fans came back during his mvp like season he went right back to playin like trash

its alarming to say the least, but i trust he will get over this
