The Knicks Thread....

[Andrew]

Well, that would still be a slight improvement.

If the effort is there from start to finish, and they're healthy, I could see them doing a little better than that.

[Brave Sir Rubin]

Worst team in modern Knicks history? Arguably so.

[stereoxide]

Worse than the all the Knicks team in the Isiah Thomas years?

Jose Calderon will be back soon. There is Bargnani as well though he isn't much.

[Andrew]

I'd still take the current squad over any team that Isiah put together.

Will it good to have Bargnani back? I don't think so...

[Stress Fracture]

To be fair, Bargnani can put up points on the board.

[shadowgrin]

Yeah but he gives up more points to the opponents' board.

[Jeffx]

It never fails....every player seems to have his career night against the Knicks. Evan Fournier??? Are you kidding me??????

Fitting that Michael Ray "the ship be sinking" Richardson was at last night's game. 2-7....yeesh........

[NovU]

Jose Calderon desperately is needed back. He's a very good point guard. Perhaps Bargnani can help too because he at least has range. Perhaps they can fit in nicely in triangle offense.

I've read that JR Smith was adjusting to triangle offense and called it quite different and hard to learn. There definitely is steep learning curve so perhaps they will get better as season matures.

Yeah, he said it it would take months for him to learn it.

Then again Dennis Rodman apparently learned the basics of the triangle in a day or two.

Then there's Karl Malone. Let's just say there's a reason why the Jazz used the pick and roll a lot instead of running complex plays.

[Stress Fracture]

The triangle has to be the most complex system in basketball.

[NovU]

It seems so. Even Fisher can't still figure out his rotation.

Perhaps Kerr made a right choice, going to PHX and modelling closer to Greg Pop's coaching style than Phil's. That undersized PG trio taking turns and thriving, and sometimes all together on the court working beautifully. Kinda surprising.

[Andrew]

You know what they say, we white guys all look alike.

[shadowgrin]

Sometimes I wonder if NovU just copy-pastes his replies using various sources.

[NovU]

Warriors and Suns. My bad.

[Jeffx]

Forget the triangle, the biggest problem is these cats are f-n soft and clueless on defense. Carmelo's getting no scoring help. Losing to the Jazz at home?

I bet Philly gets their first win against NY. I can feel it.

[NovU]

This blowout loss against greatly shorthanded Wolves is truly disheartening.

The Wolves started:
Shabazz Muhammad
Andrew Wiggins
Gorgui Dieng
Mo Williams
Kevin Martin



There is still possibility Jose Calderon making a healthy change of scenery before it's too late. Point guard rotation with Shane Larkin/stretch-Iman looks like the weakest link. And Jose when healthy was a pretty good ball distributor and shooter.

[Jeffx]

Another losing season for the Knicks - what else is new? At least we'll be in the lottery.

[Doobie]

I was actually rooting for them to tank this year This team is not built to win this season or for the foreseeable future. I'd like to see if the Knicks can actually draft a franchise cornerstone this offseason and build a strong core with youth and some FA's. I am tired of this team trading away all their picks, it is painful to see as a fan.

It's also painful knowing the season's over and it's only friggin' December. Worst start in franchise history......oy vay............

[Jeffx]

Knicks should stop fooling around and just shut Carmelo down the rest of this sorry season.

[NovU]

Agreed. In fact, I think it's best to go young and possibly feature starting line up:

Shane Larkin
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Cleanthony Early
Travis Wear
Cole Aldrich

And they probably could do just as well.
