how do you know who the coach will be (which is the reason were 8 games out of the 8th spot)

what about FA and system change?

He's not serious. The way you know is his use of "I just feel it in my gut". This is just entertainment for this guy. Don't feed the TROLLS.

come on man, it's just a prediction

Martin, i'm telling you this guy is not serious. You really think with his history that he's being totally serious with this, out of nowhere and contradictory to his entire belief system thread? He doesn't believe in making any analysis based on very little statistical information and has said so over and over. Why should we take him seriously with such a thread when it's the antithesis of what he says he stands for?

This dude is captain Metric! It's all about Analytics, Percentage and chances of success! Now he wants a low information gut prediction on what the team can do next year before we even get to Free Agency? I mean come on! He's gone on record as being against any kind of "Gut" predictions or decision making and I can grab the many posts to prove it.

Why blame Phil? You seem to have a problem differentiating Poor Execution from what System is being run. You act like Phil's teams have sucked offensively running this offense.

this is phils team and phils coach that he put together with his gut.

What I mean is that the way they were playing isn't what Phil wants. Don't confuse the 2 things. When the team is executing isn't that more indicative of what he wants?

I am sure that phil wants them to play better but he should have thought about that before he used his gut to build this woefully sh1tty team.

What are you gonna say when Wroten is leading breaks, dunking and throwing alleyoops to DWILL, Early and KP? You think it's really gonna be that hard for a fast and athletic guard to find some success if he pushes the ball the way he always has? What exactly is so hard about Wroten getting more easy buckets by simply using his great handles and quickness? As blkexec wrote none of what will make Wroten successful is really about the Triangle. It's just simple instinctual basketball.

the same thing that I would say to someone who goes all in for 1 years salary going for a gut shot while getting even odds, and hits on the river. "what a lucky idiot".

It reminds me of the famous shelly long episode on cheers where she was out picking everyone in the football pools and they were just so pissed cause they are the jocks.

I also tried to do a lot of research and find and understand stats that fit my biased pro stats agenda.

you really crack me up nix

you can always make a prediction and of course having less data factors into the prediction. You seem to not get this whole idea of logical/analytical vs hope/pray.

and of course, the more data that comes out about what the knicks will do the more it may move the over under. I bet you can already bet on this over under in vegas. Are they a bunch of idiots?

Why does this anger you so much ... wierd.

I understand it all just fine. I just know you're being disingenuous with this thread. It goes against everything you say you stand for. It's just your sick and twisted sense of humor. You hoped to see some unsuspecting fan post something overly optimistic so you can have a laugh at their expense.

Final decision on the head coach, the draft, free agency and summer league will be far too important factors and you know this. So I have to call BS on this thread. You don't even like this team or Phil. Now you want us to believe your just innocently curious what everyone thinks the team will do next year???

Oh my! This sounds crazy and paranoid, Nix. It doesn't even make sense since he's predicting a significant improvement for next year.

Also I for a fact do not spend most of my posting attacking other people! Arguing is something everyone gets involved in from time to time. My stance is consistent but this thread is a massive departure from mreinman's stated principles and its coming out of left field. This is so out of character that it's simply not credible!

Sure you do, and you're proving it by doing it now. You would have gladly offer your opinion on the topic of the thread had it been a different poster. Your posting is governed by your love/hate for poster within in it, and in this case the thread starter, not the topic itself.

You could have easily taken the higher ground and avoided the thread or even better...post a simple comment on the topic.

You cant though, because that's what you do.

I've created tons of threads and made many posts, the majority of which are not attacks and you know this but you just want to exaggerate the truth to make your point. What I've written in this thread is based on mreinman's own history.

What? The moderators and everyone else here are saying the thread is fine. You're coming across as a wannabe moderator. Why not just let them do their job?

To be honest, the mods shouldn't be neutering opinions. if mreinman doesn't want to fellate the Knicks, he doesn't have to as long as he respects other posters.

Nix goes on this tirade in nearly any thread if he sees a post he doesn't like. He mentions time and time again how old he is, but acts like a baby. He could just avoid the thread, like he avoided the game thread last nite while the Knicks were getting a train ran on them.

All these years and you think I'm running from a game thread? LOL. Went to the movies. This is laughable. Mreinman's own words are what damns him in creating this thread. He at no point has had an about face regarding this team. There was no turning point where he expressed an epiphany that he suddenly had a positive view of Phil, The Triangle or the Roster. So now all of a sudden he just decides that now is the perfect time to ask people about the next season?

Now is the time? Not after the season, draft and free agency? Dude barely posts anything except for negative jokes on the team in threads. Dude is trolling this board for his own amusement. I expected guys like you to come to his defense if I posted because there is a group of you guys that loves to rip me. That's fine but none of you are making a valid case in his defense. The facts are all on my side of the argument. There's a wealth of his posts for me to prove how he really feels about the team and how disingenuous this thread really is. I didn't even need my GUT to figure this out.
