Outside the Triangle Offense which GUARDs even on bad NBA teams the Knicks PGs going to intimidate or Scare ?
Help me/us this Knick fan this pre-season. Dont expect the world maybe playoffs? I was more confident in summer but
Team put together this preseason is missing something other than getting TRIANGLE offense down pat.
Can Derek Fisher(coach) suit up ? for PG teachings.
But I dont get this roster for the life of me! 1st Quincy Acy ? yes he showed some energy which is all he's brought here for.
Then why we got Travis 'old' Outlaw? wasnt Outlaw claim to NBA fame energy? What's he done in league recent 4-7 years.
Now Big guys Illunga-Mbenga ? You mean to tell me that Mbenga is better than Jeremy Tyler(i.e. now lakers)
Travis Outlaw? better than Shannon Brown?
And furthermore Mbenga? what's he here for ?
As far as Quincy Acy You mean NY Knicks could not have signed ..Acy lookalike Reggie Evans ?
At least Regging Evans aint getting in game & when Reggie is in game he's good for 8-10 boards & some Defense stated in my post.
Acy isn't going to do a damn thing for Knickerbockers. He will block shot vs. guys whom cant play.oh god.
I didnt even know this chap Acy was in NBA! before. Oh What the hell!
You look at all current NBA bad teams and playoffs teams. Each got point guards plural/many. Knicks got what 3-4 PGs here?
Don't take much to please Melo Anthony outside new $$$$$$$ contract.
Whom we got? J.Calderone I like Jose and he's seasoned VET but Shane Larkin backup? Paublo Priggly?
You mean to tell me that Rodney Stuckey (2 way guard) wasn't available and better coming here to NY than Stuckey ending in Indiana.
What's this PG NY setup here Larkin/Jose and Paublo? Which NBA PGs this going to scare this NBA 2014/15 season eh?
You mean to tell me PART2, that Mr. Darren Collision(PG/SG) now on KINGs, wasnt available ? another 2way guard better than FELTON
and available/cheap. What about Ramon Sessions(PG) now also on Sacra-tomatoe Kings.
You mean to tell me PART3, that teams rather have Travis 'Bo' Outlaw on team vs. Carl Landry?(available scorer, sometimes defender)
You mean to tell me PART4 Mr. Dhante Jones isnt better than few of these bench Knick invites..to be cut?
You mean to tell me that Chris Douglass Roberts ..here in summer wasnt' seasoned or tender invite back in fall, since Torre Murray
wasn't in plans, At least Chris Douglass Roberts was no worse than Torrey Murray, play a little point, plays a lil' D & yes has
scored some points in NBA before.
experienced D.Roberts more compatible here to do something off the bench? as swing guard.
Outside this NBA 'RICH & FAMOUS' Spurs, Cavs, Bulls, Clips, Warriors, Wiz, Mavs, Blazers, Heat & even George-less Pacemakers,
But lets see how many teams our squad is BETTER than? out the gate. OR simpler whom is BETTER easiest than 2014/15 our Knicks boyz.
Throw in obvious elite Cavs, Bulls, Heat, Spurs, Okc, Rockets, Clippers, Griz, Blazers & Warriors.
LEMME' see now That is 10 automatic nba teams elite to whip as_s.
Throw is rest of NBA 2014/15 playoff contender teams predicted success, ... Let's count with DJ please,
Pacers?, Wizards, Raptors, Nets, Suns, Hawks, Hornets & Nuggets.
LEMME' part2 that is 8 NBA teams not elite but good teams & yes made NBA playoffs 2013/2014.. many in playoffs several yrs.
Now we have 30 NBA teams,
which LEMME' see part3 now (10 + 8) = 18 NBA teams.
SO I am either off OR crazy probably both you mean to tell me these 2014/2015 NBA Knicks of Derek Fisher has 18 teams BETTER Than Knick current edition and our Knicks boyz are only better than 11 has-been NBA teams ?
NOW I'm gonna list them Also-ran rosters.
You all know whom they are!
Lakers,Celtics,Pelicans,Bucks,76ers,Wolves,Pistons,Magic,Jazz & Sacratomato Kings
I can argue Celtics, Lakers on above team rosters are also BETTER than Knicks.
I'll prove it by taking away each #1 lead player from teams,
You take away KOBE from Lakers,
You take away Rondo from Celtics,
& yes finally take away Melo from Knicks.
Compare rosters then and see what I'm talking bout'!
LA Lakers roster

Bos Celts roster
http://www.nba.com/celtics/roster
Also Throw in the Available PFs like Ed Davis & Carl Landry. Neither old NBA players. Both Ed Davis and Landry were nba playoffs
experienced past few yrs on good teams.
I dont like THIS KNICK roster outside J.Calderon & rookie Cleveanthony, T.Hardway JR. & Yes MELO of course.
Heaven help Melo's health and season!
My complaint is This KNICKS roster Guardwise is worst as far as Point guard play than most of the 30 NBA teams.
Torre Murry wasnt much but played D' a little and had been working on his PG game as a backup, if NY wanted to go cheap $$$$$.
Knicks guards will get KILLED on offensive end when they are force to create.
JUST as KNICKS PGs Got Killed always since S.Marbury, Derek Harper & Charlie Ward, Mark Jackson and Rod Strickland days
ended 2 decades ago!
20 years and we've yet to establish Point guards in this town of NYC Knickerbocker basketball.
amazing!
