Weird season. We’re bloody awful, of course. But I like a lot of these players. Fun to watch. Many of them are improving before our eyes. But despite that, one doesn’t see much…chemistry. I’m just talking about two or three guys who seem to play quite well together. Or am I missing something?

Enes troubles all stem from his open mouth.


Kanter sitting out ill from practice because he ate too many cheeseburgers.

You guys aren't embarassed by his terrible defense
You aren't embarassed when he stupidly tweets opponents like Devin Booker who comes back roast him
What about when he can't practice because he tweeted himself eating 7 cheeseburgers??!

HOW ARE YOU NOT EMBARRASSED BY THIS FOOL??

HE is a laughingstock.

Starbury level pariah

the funny thing, Kam, is he's not.

but you with your obsession have certainly made yourself the laughingstock of this forum

Yeah... Enes eats himself out of town but i'm the bad guy.

He's right, man.

You've never been a tedious motherfucker, but I have no idea what's going with you now. We get it. You don't like Kanter. Are you going to spend another 10,000 messages telling us that?

Hardaway is rarely a subject of discussion anymore.

Is this because it's just commonly understood that he's a disappointment? And at this point, there's no reason that should change?

It will be much easier to accept his erratic play when he isn't designated as the main scoring option (or even the 2nd or 3rd option).

Turkoglu, now some kind of paid toady for Erdogan, dismisses Kanter's beef as some ongoing "smear campaign."

Maybe that's not quite right. Hardaway has been an impact player at times.

Just not the right times.

By the way, Fuck Noah.

Hardaway is better this year. Plays hard. More consistent scorer.

But I doubt anyone here would argue that he's a star or a high impact ballplayer.

Lot of games like the one in Cleveland, if we had one driven go-to player (let's say there are maybe 2 dozen of those guys in the NBA), the game is ours. But that’s something we obviously don’t have. Timmy was insignificant in the last few minutes.

That's one reason why it's just way more fun to see what the other guys can come up with. I had no idea about Mudiay's grit and aggression. Interesting to see someone developing before your eyes.

starting super Mario and benching frank show how brainless our coach is.


Jesus. Really? Brainless?

I think we got a real coach.

But I would have liked to see Frank's defense in that Celtics game. It gets a little embarrassing when you can't get stops for 4 continuous quarters. So many easy baskets.

Curiously,Thomas came in last night late in the 4th quarter and it was a decisively grim turn of events. Kanter had an unusually bad game. Hardaway Jr. trying to get to that next level — and succeeding — save for the last 5 minutes of the game. Which, you know, is a pretty important 5 minutes. That said, I love watching the surprises with the team this year. Like Trier last night. Confidence and control with the ball. We are genuinely close to winning these games. Who expected that?

The Hardaway love is a mystery. We're all pulling from him. But he was disappointing in his first stint with the Knicks, and he was disappointing last year. The big issue is consistency — it comes up with almost everyone who watched him play game after game. But there's also the question of WHEN he makes points and his capacity for clutch basketball. I haven't seen much of that. Maybe when he was playing for Atlanta?

I think the fact that he doesn't want to be the lead guy tells you everything you need to know about that question.

I’d just say that Hardaway is as close as we have to a locked in starter at this point.

Based on his abilities......or based on his contract?
