NFT: Knicks Chat 2/9: The Kurt Rambis Era begins!

bceagle05 : 2/9/2016 11:28 am
Two of our favorite douchebags are making some headlines: Stephen A. is reporting that Jeanie Buss is cleaning house in LA at the end of the year to pave the way for Phil's return, and Isola is reporting that Phil has an opt out in his contract at the end of this season, so he can leave us high and dry without compensation. Consider the sources, but that is an unsettling thought given that Dolan stooges like Mills and Houston would likely take over.

On a more positive note, Woj is reporting that the Knicks at least have Westbrook's attention, and Hahn always drops Westbrook's name as a future Knick, so hopefully those two have some legit sources on that front. Westbrook's always been the guy I've had my eye on, more so than even Durant.

Otherwise, we'll see if the tailspin continues tonight against Washington, the final game before the long break. Any thoughts on what Rambis might do to change things up? Gallo starting over Calderon? Tighter rotation? More O'Quinn? Less Sasha and Lou?

Phil talks  
Deej : 2/9/2016 8:24 pm : link
- want team work oriented coach (not a comment on Fisher)

- KP was fatigued

- "Very slim chance" Knicks trade before deadline
Oh  
Deej : 2/9/2016 8:26 pm : link
asked about whether the next coach needs to run a triangle. Not clear if he was giving a yes or a no. Says you need a system to get into. Al thought he was saying yes, triangle. Me/Walt not so clear.
KP has been really cold of late.

Clyde says  
B in ALB : 2/9/2016 8:29 pm : link
That a wide open three for KP is not a good shot and it's not a shot they want him taking. Especially since he just shot two free throws (after missed shot and offensive rebound). Huh.

Yeah. I don't know. If KP is open he should shoot the Fucking ball.
Clyde argument made no sense  
Deej : 2/9/2016 8:36 pm : link
it's a bad shot because KP lacks confidence. So isnt any shot from KP therefore bad? Clyde has been really brutal. Like the end of Ralph Kiner's career.
KP should shoot whenever he is open  
Vanzetti : 2/9/2016 8:37 pm : link
The problem with KP right now is that if you pass him the ball and he does not shoot immediately, he fumbles the ball when he tries to dribble or pass. The other team is just swatting at the ball whenever KP has it and generating turnovers or breakdowns on offense.

Also, when he and Lopez are on he court at the same time, the offense is terrible. No movement.

Isn't a good shot because he hesitated and was out of rhythm. It was a good look but not a good shot.
It was almost like Clyde  
B in ALB : 2/9/2016 8:39 pm : link
sort of paused after he said that nonsense like he was trying to figure out how to explain himself. Bizarre statements and claims galore with this guy. Time for him to quit and focus on his lounge or whatever.
Funny  
Deej : 2/9/2016 8:40 pm : link
was just thinking that Seraphin looks like he's in better shape, and Clyde mentions he's lost 20 lbs.

Jackson made the point of saying KP has taken some shots which were bad even though he may have been open. Clyde is Jackson's old roommate and seems like they have remained close friends. I think he felt the need to point point out an example of what Jackson was talking about.
Porzingas is at his best when he is the primary scorer  
Vanzetti : 2/9/2016 8:43 pm : link
He can dominate with his size if he gets he ball in the middle. He can take it to he basket, post up with a hook or short jumper.

None of that happens when he plays with the starters. His offense with the starters is basically long-range jumpers and put backs. He should come off the bench with the second unit and then be on the floor at the end along with Galloway--with whom he plays much better than Calderon.
WTF with these 3s?  
Deej : 2/9/2016 8:57 pm : link
Crazy
These guys are 10/12 from 3  
B in ALB : 2/9/2016 8:58 pm : link
And only lead by 13. Second half will cool them off. Knicks just need to keep it close here.
Haha  
giantsfan44ab : 2/9/2016 9:00 pm : link
I think I'm the only one here who doesn't mind Clyde. Sure, he is aloof, but it's just kind of funny at some point. When I turn on league pass, my roommates (non from the east coast) get a big laugh from some of the shit he says.

Not sure how many of you have league pass, but there are some horrible, horrible announcers on many local broadcasts. It could be much worse. The Warriors stick out most to me, they are just two superfans who were given the reins of the commentary (at least one of them is, anyways). They reference to the team as "we" and argue about every little foul called against them. The Hornets, Pelicans, and Cavs also stick out to me as guys you want to argue with after some of the shit they say. I'd take Breen and Clyde over most of these local guys.

Yeah they can't keep that pace. Just shooting the light out right now but they will hit a lull at some point.
KP

with authority!
Melo's 3 is broken  
Deej : 2/9/2016 9:32 pm : link
not even close, bad on the season. He's gotta stop launching so many.
KP dominating!

Clyde can relax now - his confidence is up.

Guessing it's knee-related. Need the legs more on the longer shots.

I love Clyde.
Yeah, I'd probably love listening to Clyde if it was my first time  
PhiPsi125 : 2/9/2016 10:09 pm : link
also, but it's not. He says the same tired sayings every single game, every single year. Plus, he's just not very good. Actually, when I first heard him broadcasting games years ago, I thought there was something wrong with him mentally. I guess you could always do worse. But you can also do better.
What a joke  
nygiants16 : 2/9/2016 10:12 pm : link
Red blew a clean strip now going to lose a 3 point play....game over

I love Clyde.


+1

I enjoy him as well. I like his humor and wit, I enjoy his stories, and I think he often has an interesting perspective on things.

I also loved him as a player so maybe that makes a difference. I doubt there are too many fans that rooted for him as a player and old enough to have appreciated him as such that doesn't like listening to him today.
Wow, you can review a charge??? They rarely ever get them right  
PhiPsi125 : 2/9/2016 10:13 pm : link
anyway!! Basketball is becoming completely unwatchable. First they royally screw KP on that strip and now they will reverse this defensive foul. Holy shit.
Another game where the refs decide the game  
nygiants16 : 2/9/2016 10:14 pm : link
Porting is had a clean strip and Knicks would of had a fast break...
Just awful.  
yatqb : 2/9/2016 10:14 pm : link
.
Either way this team is an embarrassment  
nygiants16 : 2/9/2016 10:16 pm : link
Team has to get down by double digits before they decide to play hard...
Damn shame.  
yatqb : 2/9/2016 10:16 pm : link
We were right there.
So what can't that just be a basket  
B in ALB : 2/9/2016 10:17 pm : link
and no foul? If the refs are looking at his feet in the restricted area are they also looking at whether it was an offensive foul?

Seems odd that they can now decide offensive fouls like that. Just call it a bucket and no foul on Beal.

This is why all these reviews suck. Whether is was or wasn't a charge as a fan you are still asked to accept that being overturned yet accept KP's foul which was a wrong call but not reviewable.

This isn't like football with review on a TD, basketball is a fast pace up and down the court game. Selecting a handful of plays throughout the game to review makes the game worse. Review if a players foot was on the 3-point line fine or if the shot got off before the buzzer but much of this is just bad for the game.

Galloway really has icewater

running though his veins.

Maybe the most clutch shooter for the team at this point
Afflalo  
Vanzetti : 2/9/2016 10:24 pm : link
is a very limited player. When he tries to do too much he is exposed. Get the ball to Carmelo or Porzingas.

But that's the downside of a contract with a player option. Guys looked to pad the stats hoping for the big payday, knowing they have the fallback option.

But what really pisses me off about this guy is his repeated failure to get back on transition D. Hope there is a team stupid enough to offer him a bigger contract than the 8 million he is scheduled to get from the knicks.
Was at the game  
SomeFan : 2/9/2016 10:24 pm : link
not a vibrant crowd. We were all surprised the Knicks got themselves back into the game. This team needs some better talent.

LOL, I know
Same old knicks  
nygiants16 : 2/9/2016 10:30 pm : link
Get down by double digits make a run make you believe and then break your heart at the end...

Same shit different regime, you can change the players but nothing ever changes...
They turned the ball over again and again in the 4th  
Vanzetti : 2/9/2016 10:32 pm : link
and bricked jumper after jumper, instead of taking it to the basket

deserved to lose
At least the plays out of a TO are now better...  
Jim in Hoboken : 2/9/2016 10:33 pm : link
Our guard play is absolutely pathetic. Can't create, can't defend, can barely shoot...
You know what's going to happen  
nygiants16 : 2/9/2016 10:33 pm : link
Knicks will not make the playoffs and then finally win the lottery and the nuggets will get simmons
I'd love for the Knicks/Nuggets to get the first pick. Don't want  
Jim in Hoboken : 2/9/2016 10:35 pm : link
the Lakers or the Sixers to get it.

SethFromAstoria : 2/9/2016 10:38 pm : link
you have to change the starting lineup  
Vanzetti : 2/9/2016 11:00 pm : link
can't keep falling behind like this. Then you expend all this energy catching up and have nothing left for crunch time.

experiment with different combinations. or if you keep the starting lineup you have to be a lot quicker to pull guys.
What can the Knicks realistically get for Lance Thomas?  
Anakim : 2/9/2016 11:19 pm : link
We probably won't be able to afford to keep him next year, so we might as well trade him now.
