I care more about playing hard, developing players, getting some chemistry and system in place.
Not sure i get this statement when your coach will be gone and many on this team too next year.
You'll have no continuity or system when its back to the drawing board...Did you not see that the idiots in suits running this org think this team would be competitive this year? Winning matters, not moral victories.

No but you need a pg that can dish assists and hit wide open jumpers...

It needs a PG and they'll lose this one too by the looks of it.

Seriously? Saw this one coming from a mile away.....
Fizzy done IMO when Knix are 15 under .500
Sending Fitzperrymills packing before X-mas will be the best gift a knick fan can hope for this year.
I can only hope....for the last year or two I promised myself I wouldn't come back until Mills was dismissed... for a while I did really good but like a crackhead I came back to the poison.... and now I feel like a miserable fuck starting all over again

Basketball / Re: I guess he just needs to muff a few passes off the backboard to himself..
« on: November 25, 2019, 08:38:39 PM »He is rapidly moving into the elite, on one side of the court.
On the other side, he is slowly, but certainly improving in what is yet a handful of consecutive starts with a bozo the clown of a coach.
I'll take that over anyone on the team not named Mitch or RJ.
"Bright spots and highlights are too few and far between with him.."
This is this fucking week, lol, ya...

The kid is clearly smart..high bbIQ, and in just a few games has already cut down on those weakass passes, has already cut down on those stupidassfouls (wish Mitch could learn the same), shows a bit more on the O each time out. You can moan, groan, do what ya like, call for DJ, call for Elfrid, call for whothehellever is next up on Perry's list, but for me, watching the slow steady up trajec is one of the very few pleasures of this season. I want to see where he is at at START 50, START 70 & START 90.
If ya don't, ya don't. But Elfrid & DJ.s 30.9 & 31.7 lifetime 3pt% in mucho mas minutes don't have me fearing we're missing too many game winners if they're not in.
Fair enough...and can appreciate your desire to watch your seedling grow...but DS jr was in the same draft so I'll see your 2 and raise you 1

I know I'm in the minority on this one.
I like Frank. Seems like a good kid and he has talent but he's a role player that lacks the killer instinct, confidence or bravado that gets players to the next level.
So are we trying to put the best players on the floor to win games and build something concrete to attract FAs and others....or is this about some AAU team trying to develop talent that may or may not ever materialize? Cite his age all you want but the bright spots and highlights are too few and far between with him.
FAs have spoken. They dont want to come to the Knicks given the lack of progress and talent on the team.

Missing my point. Its not that DSjr makes it. Its that he's far more active than Frankie and can make something happen, drive and kick anyone?
Frankie is a statue in closing minutes on offense. Generally at the top of the key or perimeter. DS jr far more dangerous for the defense to check and can get the ball to the right guys.
You think it's an accident Frankie is all alone shooting bricks down the stretch of close games???

Of course you would..until you saw the 4 turnovers or the 6 Dinwiddie breeze-bys or 2 passes sailing into the stands. Next to him would have been fine, but Fiz went with Ellington, which was a much better idea than Knox at least.
Not implying that those happened. They didn't. DJr...as I noted previously, had a reasonable stint. And I would have liked to have seen him & Frank share more floor.
Rather, that's what likely would have happened and what Merciless would have complained about had he seen him during the period in which he requested to see him.
C'Mon Les... you know that being an armchair Monday Morning Quarterback is the best thing that I do.
However I only call it as I see it. As kid mentioned, that jumper he missed was not only pivotal in his development but also pivotal to a fucking win for us. Need him to produce on the offensive side or sit in the 4th. He's become a bit of a statue in closing minutes and the opponent knows it.

« on: November 25, 2019, 08:31:32 AM »Any idea why Trier doesnt get any minutes. Kid can score which we lack at times. I can't fucking watch Frankie shoot open jumpers and miss any longer. The kid is now a liability down the stretch.
Personally, I love watching him shoot and miss, cause missing means he's shooting them. More than 10 FG attempts for second time all season. Excellent. They will fall. The stroke is good. Satisfactory 37th career start.
Understand the thought process but this ain't travel basketball for 8th graders. Mofo needs to produce in the 4th or sit. His defense wasnt great either...Would have rather seen DS jr in that spot attacking and kicking.

I would hate to play for this motherfucker -- players can't get into a rhythm and probably have no idea what he's thinking, this team lacks leadership from the top too. When he's 15 games under .500 he'll be another Knick stat in the history books cashing a check he doesn't deserve.
This is as much on Mills and Perry...this is their guy, this is their team.

Sad to say, their tier 2 players just much better than ours.
No moral victories...just another team that comes into our house and beats us.....and without their best player no less.
