“This cannot be”
- Bill Walton

The ball needs unselfish energy.

Ntilikina, because he will only get better
Trier, because he reminds me of a subtle mix between Dick Barnett and The Pearl
Knox, because this yute just got here and will only get better
Vonleh, because he plays with passion
Robinson, because he hasn’t even learned how to play and he can play

Everyone else can take a nap.
Yeah, I said it.

The past years cannot be accumulated frustration. It does not matter. We had a bad game. Its to happen. It will again.
Frank, Trier, Timmy......all will happen.
Frank will break thru or he will be postscript. When does that be determined? Year three. Not even half way thru.

In the G League. He needs to be given a "to do" list. If he performs, fine. If not, to the G League for seasoning.

We are hosting G-league team in NBA.
Why not to learn from real competition rather that from bunch of equal or worth scrubs?

I believe drop off defensively is direct result of Kanter/Tim shot selection and shot volume on other end

Hardaway is so frustrating when he isn't making shots. He's such a shameless chucker at times. The weird thing about this season so far compared to last year is that he's been much better at 3 pointers (35.5% vs 31.7%) but much worse on 2 pointers (46.9% vs 51.6%). As a person who constantly bitches at the TV that Tim's taking too many 3s and that he should be driving to the basket more, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around these stats.

It's simple - he has no clue what a good shot is and the more he is going to chuck the more difficult shots will be. The 3 point % will likely drop to mean and the 2 move higher.

Added problem with his chucking is less energy on the other end.

Also we have some youngsters playing with Timmy that could use an occasional set-up for an easy lob dunk or kick out to an open easy 3 point shot. Sure he does this once in a blue moon but not enough and he is the epitome of a player where you have to keep reminding him over and over again. If he were just a smart/unselfish player he would be an all-star but so much of his game is forced it brings everything down around it.

Wake up Timmy.

Player skills can be refined and expanded but players brain is formed in teens like for all other people.
If your IQ is low it will not get better with time.Especially if you entitled to think you are a genius which all law IQ people tend to do.
High IQ people always question their decision making and striving to improve.
So Timmy is what he is. He is not the 1st or 2nd option on good team.
More of 6th man on contender.
MY concern with him on the Knicks is only taking attempts from our prospects which impend their development and our audition effort to see if they belong.

Embiid and simmons Vs Mitch and Knox...now that's a joke

We are nothing like the sixers,

the sixers made wise trades to open up cap space in their process, we waived noah and ate his contract, traded gomez, for nothing, couldn't get a 2nd rounder for KOQ.

Like what was the sense of keeping beasly when you had no intentions of reigning him

I meant back at the beginning of the Process....

how do we attract FA when the young guys look light years away from being good, which means we will spend all of our CAP money on second tier players like PHIL did.

We can't sign another slew of 1 yr players

this is called rebuilding my friend. We know you hate it but it’s reality. Free agents like have seemed to be impressed with the kids. Plus we are missing our best player who is also attractive to free agents. Look I understand you want to win right now but that’s not reality when dealing with the youngest team in the league who is missing their best player. The knicks are finally doing the right thing as far as building a team. I think starting next year no matter who we get we are looking at a long term winning team

Do you realize you have said that every year for the last 5 yrs..You have damn near said it in almost every thread at least once, for the last 5 yrs.
