NFT: Knick Chat

Pete44 : 6/11/2021 10:57 am
It is being reported by Empire Sports Media that the Knicks are one of the teams interested in Pacers C Myles Turner.

This would make some sense as Turner is a rim protector and an offensive threat. The lack of Gibson/Noel being an offensive threat was definitely a detriment in the Hawks series. Of course, the cost could be prohibitive as Indiana is tough to deal with.

For not coming up with a "game plan" to stop Trae. Doc and all his brilliance and having one of the best defenders in the league has gotten his ass handed to him by Trae just Like we did.

4 out of 14 from the line. Geez man you could put one of us at the line 14 times in an NBA playoff game I bet we hit 5.

That’s what is so crazy about “The Process” - if they break it up now people will mock them and say it didn’t work, but it did. Butler-Embiid-Simmons probably wins a title last year or this year. They could’ve won it the one postseason they were together if not for Kawhi’s three that bounced on the rim 100 times. Crazy to let him get away, and supposedly it was because he was “high maintenance.”

P.S. I know Butler wasn’t drafted, but they traded young pieces and picks to get him.

I don’t understand how no one has at least told Simmons you’re not going to make many free throws if you’re firing line drives at the rim. Even if putting arc on the ball doesn’t feel natural to him it at least gives the ball a chance to go the fuck in.

Yeah I feel like Simmons is the type of player that could be a 3rd all star on a perennial championship contender, but he needs 2 all stars flanking him who can both get buckets in half-court offense when needed. Embiid is one, but you need a guy like Butler too. They thought Harris could be that guy but he clearly was not ready for the moment in the playoffs here. Butker damn sure would’ve gotten buckets when they most needed it in the 4th quarter both Monday night and tonight. Even just replace Harris with Butler and the Sixers have this series won in 5. I mean it took Embiid going 0/12 in the 2nd half on Monday and then Embiid not scoring a single point in the final 8 minutes of the game tonight to blow those games this badly. If you think Jimmy Butler doesn’t close both those games out for you you’re crazy.

He's not a good shooter, he's a great shooter.

Watching him, I think he's playing through a lower-body injury of some kind. He's mostly missing short and he's not moving well.

And if he does that then it would be impossible for you to root for him and the Knicks. It would definitely make any success less fun and exciting as a fan. Based on that, I think you would want them to avoid Zion, right?

toppin has no value--- you have to play or be a prospect to get value--- he didn't play and is older then jaret allen.

Mitch you have to pay and he cant stay on the court. there is a reason you are ok to offer those guys---

yup, you need to offer a haul to get a star. Like Boston did for Kyrie. Oh wait...
