Maybe we should all just relax about next year...
I, for one, am rather amped to see Kornet, Vonleh, Knox, Hardaway, and Ntilikina take the floor. I think Fizz can meld those individuals into a highly effective unit. The success will hinge on getting efficiency from four guys who shot under .420 from the field and a rookie. I think it can be done running the kind of plays Fizz ran in Memphis, especially if fundamentals truly get developed in camp and preseason.
SIGH
Yet again, you have essayed an alternate universe in which Enes Kanter is not a part of this team going forward, let alone as part of the starting five for 2018-2019.
You are my Brother, Facil, Brother Kam, too, but this sniffy, dismissive tonality (by my admittedly lesser lights) has gotten very old. VERY old.
Many have presumed, rather prematurely it seems, that Kanter is out of here.
He is, until further notice, our starting center.
Whether Fizz and Perry (and Enes) choose to move on, or to come to some sort of ongoing commitment moving forward, would seem to me, TO BE PREDICATED ON HOW HE PLAYS AND HOW HE IMPROVES IN 2018-2019.
I will accept the mockery of others, this being a mostly free country, when I state what should seem obvious, which is that Kanter raised his game as a Knick, as did another player universally pissed on, Timmy Hardaway.
They are both only 26. Both have room for significant improvement under Coach Fizdale's watch.
Oh right, old dogs, ergo, no new tricks.
Hey, dogs gonna bark, and doubters going sniff. My opinion has no more legitimacy than anyone else's on this forum.
It's all chin music, and it's all good.
But listening to members of our congregation rooting for the lottery, while others, as is their wont, piss on those players they view as busts or hypes or place holders for cap space (Ntilikina, Hardaway, Kanter) really fries my onions.
Fizdale has proclaimed a clean slate going in for every Knick on the roster starting with training camp.
It's called H-O-P-E, and until proven otherwise, it is nice to have some for a fucking change.
Not hope for the fucking lottery, but hope for progress, commitment, a winning culture going forward.
Would but that the team's fickle fans and amateur GMs felt the same.
All of these newbies and reclamation projects share one thing. They want to prove themselves, to each other, to the coach and to the fans of New York. They want to be part of a team Knicks fans can be proud of. And last time I checked, Enes bled blue and orange. He is a competitor. We need more like him, not less.
I'm a pop pom gurl, right?
My devalued two cents.
We now return to our regularly scheduled pogrom.
