You can keep scouting the lottery. While you are doing that I will be enjoying the Knicks in the conference finals. 100 games you say? Well if that offseason included siging Noah to a big deal I would we are off to a GREAT success! You would have to be the dumbest Knick fan on earth to not sign up for a 100+ games next year! I supposed it might feel tainted if we overpaid for Noah or if Rose's advanced stats show him to be an average player at best... NAAAAAA.. (I just wanted to work 'taint' into this thread)100+ games... right on!
Would Crabbe give us 100+ game seasons? Or is he just an 82 clip guy?
Clearly, he's saying the goal should be to build a team that can last 100 games. He isn't predicting our guys will do that. He's saying he thinks they can reach 41% of that goal.
No I dont think Derek Rose Carmelo Anthony and Noah can last 100 games--Im not sure about 50. They better build it 13 deep.
The better this team is built the less stress will be placed on each of the players. That is how you achieve better health. Neither of our starters will have to overexert themselves playing with this crew. They should all carry just a little less of a load by playing with each other.
The Knicks have what 6 players on their team? Putting 9 more guys together and making it gel is going to take time. There is almost ZERO continuity. I mean lets just look at some facts here
Noah and Rose were on the same team with
Pau Gasol Jimmy Butler Taj Gibson Mike Dunleavy Aaron Brooks and then a bevy of quality young players who helped out--they ended up a LOTTERY team. We DO NOT have a better team than the BULLS. KP is NOT better than Gasol and Carmelo is NOT better than Butler. Then they had a bunch of players in place that had ALREADY played together for years.
Basically were saying we can win with the same model the Bulls had with less talent and continuity. Good luck. Glad we have our lottery pick we are going to need it.
