This is more like a flat line. No angles.

KP is getting better at shooting off the dribble, pulling up for a jumper. Looks more fluid.

Maybe the story of this season was actually Melo and Rose keeping a terrible team competitive, not Melo and Rose being the reason the team is terrible.

Kansas could beat this Knicks team by 30.

I was thinking the same thing. Draftnet had the Knicks getting Mason in the second round awhile back.

I have a hard time seeing any team in the league outside of the contenders, take 2 of their top 3 scorers out, 2 of them making 50M combined, and also their best defensive big at 18M, start 3 rookies and 1 sophmore and expect win games like this on a 2nd night of a back to back.

The agendas here never stop.

It's a process. You wanted tanking. You want a great pick. This is it. You won't get player development if you don't let players actually play. And you need to spend the money you use on Rose and Melo on better starters. No one ever said Kuz and Baker are our starters. We need to get 2 new starters next year, maybe 3, around KP/Willy and guys that are starting right now with KP/Willy need to be coming off the bench. Guys coming off the bench in this game, need to be the 3rd string, 9th/10th man types.

Too many agendas on this board right now.

I think Mason is playing his way into the first round. With how good Isaiah Thomas is, why not?

Please, man. I have no agenda. Nixluva has been screaming at me how Rose and Melo have been holding back the offense and the defense all week. Where is he now?

I was actually curious to watch tonight to see how the kids looked. It's not been pretty. They need a lot more talent, especially if they're planning to let Rose go for nothing and trade Melo for Austin Rivers. We'll win 15 games next season.

Second night of a back to back
So they can't buy or hit a 3 to save their life
Would be a different game if we made some of our three pointers

Still we have 68 million of our payroll out of the lineup with Noah, Rose and Melo. Which is 3 of the starters.

We have a future with KP and Willy. Keep drafting well.

Back To back three rookies starting in place of Melo and Rose, Who whether we like it or not provide a lot of the scoring punch. What were you all expecting in this game? We need patience

So good to see these guys get burn together. Give them the rest of the season to play together on a regular basis and we'll start seeing team cohesion...this is the right way to do it. And the fourth pick in the draft is within sight!
The new new core: Randle, RJ, IQ. Maybe Mitch. Future pick. Future trade. Future FA.

And we might see three guys get double-doubles tonight: KP, Mindy, and Willy. The future is bright!

Talent wise especially in the backcourt we are so outmatched but real nice effort from the guys

I like this teams frontcourt even without Melo
But we need a guard bad, two guards

Rose has more value than many realize

They showed up in the second half. That first half was brutal. They've put together a respectable effort now.

KOQ with some nice passing. And his defensive effort has completely energized the whole team.
