The Knicks Thread....

[Jeffx]

Jeffx, since it is clear the Knicks won't be winning the title this season or anytime soon, what are you hoping to see from them this year?

How about between 45-50 wins and at least a trip to the second round?

Hopefully (if Phil stays) he can build on that and make the Knicks what they were during the 90s - an 11-year playoff run with two trips to the Finals......sustained success.

[Jeffx]

I pretty much feel the same way as Coach Boeheim about Carmelo's chances at an NBA title.

Rose's recent comments about feeling like the Knicks can win every game are being taken out of context, I believe. I think it's poor phrasing: it's sounding like he's saying they can go 82-0, but I get the impression he meant that they'll be competitive and in with a chance to win every game that they play...not that they actually will win every game.

I think Rose was mearly just pointing out that our mindset should be that no team is better than us and we shouldn't be scared to play them, you would think all nba players had that mentally but I've seen plenty over the years that go into games expecting a loss.

So how's the NYK media taking in the recent bits of super team and win every game comments??

It's not even preseason and Rose is almost at full strength with his media savvy.

When the reality kicks in, it will hit them fast and real hard.

Rose being confident is one thing but people buying into his crap that the Knicks are somehow a superteam, is being idiotic. And I am seeing a lot of them these days.

Most of it comes from young Knick fans on social media. It's why I hardly go to the Knicks Facebook fan page. One idiot actually said Carmelo was better than LeBron. How can you argue with someone like that?

[Jeffx]

Things could get hot for Derrick Rose;

It's definitely disturbing. As I said when it all came about last year, I hate to assume the alleged victim isn't telling the truth, because there's too much of that in sexual assault cases. At the same time, I hate to think that Rose is guilty, because he's someone I've cheered for and supported for several years.

[air gordon]

surprised this has flown under the radar so to speak for this long. some of the details such as "contraption" used and Rose not knowing the meaning of the word "consent" is mind boggling.

if this goes to trial as a criminal case, oh boy

[mp3]

That would be just our luck, we get an allstar type point guard and he goes to prison.

Makes you wonder if Phil and the Knicks "braintrust" did their homework on this case.

[Andrew]

Perhaps they felt it was a non-issue when it was only a civil matter, but now that there's apparently enough evidence to file criminal charges, it's a whole other ballgame.

maybe he just figured if ray lewis can get away with murder rose can get away with rape

He grew up in Chicago in the 90's, the Triangle should be in his dna.

[air gordon]

there's joke in there but ill leave it alone

[mp3]

Lol true maybe I should of worded that differently.

[Andrew]

I thought that the Knicks were moving away from the triangle?

[mp3]

I think with Phil it's Triangle or die.

[mp3]

Sooooo happy I decided to get LP for last night's game lol

I know it's preseason but try play a little D hey guys?

I wouldn't worry, it's only pre-season. It's obvious they mailed it in.

Believe me, you KNOW I'll go off if I see this shit after Oct. 25th.

[mp3]

Yeah I know, and it sounds childish but I wanted to Mike D'Antoni so bad!

Even tho it is preseason I'd still like to see Defence because they should start as they mean to go on imo

Yup all it takes is a lot of money and ratting on your homies

[Jeffx]

It's obvious the Knicks strength can be the pick & roll or pick & pop with Rose and either Anthony or Porzingis. So why are they still trying to run the triangle? Get with it, Phil, damn.
