NFT: Knicks vs Twolves official time to tank

that anyone can guard Lebron but he seems like the kind of kid who would give it a college try.

playing with Harden this summer
Link - ( New Window )

Anyone read the story in the NY Times about the guy who is attending all 82 Knick games this year (yes, that would be home and away)? Lost his position as a lawyer and decided to combine his passions for travels, the Knicks and umm....self torture, I guess.

And you think you'll be having a long Knick winter.....

is that they can take over games on the college level...If they are going to come in and be starters in the NBA i want to see them take over College games...

If they have a bad shooting game fine but i want to see them dominate in other ways...if a player is having a bad game and cant help anywhere else i dont want him no moreone dimensional players...

Thats what turned me off about Parker last year...he would have a bad shooting night and Coach K would have to put him on the bench because he did nothing else...his defense was putrid...

This is actually what I like most about Stanimal. He was a defense/rebounding kid who has gradually added offense.

if it turns out Fisher is a lousy coach.

Gasol has evolved into a decent player but he will be thirty and signing him to a longterm deal will just recreate the same problems that have plagued the Knicks since 2000.

Milsap is a good player but he is a complementary piece, not a second star that you pair with Melo.

Dragic is not even worth talking about. Ditto for Rondo.

But he is not that good. Unlike, say Hibbert, he has no defensive presence and his offense is nothing to write home about. Also, not sure how he would fit in the triangle.

Still, he is a big body with decent shooting touch, so he would probably be the best choice.

Then, if They could get a decent PG, you are looking at maybe a fifty win team. But not a contender IMO

They really have to luck out in the draft to get to the level of a legit contender. Let's hope Phil can look into his crystal ball and find the next Scottie Pippen

of Gasol, a very good rookie, another very good defender, and Shump as a defensive core with Melo driving the offense has a real punchers chance in the East.

16 and 11 guys don't grow on trees. His PER is 19.5. He's good in the post and can shoot from mid-range. He's a very good passer... and he'll be turning 25 in June.

I like Gasol a lot but to me... the play here is Monroe.

either with the Knicks or another team. Tough to understand a pro athlete who has a very short shelf live not going all out, especially when they may be looking for a payday.
