[GAMETHREAD] KNICKS @ ROCKETS 12/31/16 8:00PM EST

[matchman]

The only head scratching move by Hornacek is the benching of Kuz.

[Oscirus]

**** you anderson you flopping piece of ****

[Im Coming Home]

KNICKS COVERED THE SPREAD

[SuperflyKnick]

We move the ball wen welo is out

[iAdoreeKnicks]

NBA 2K Line by harden.

[Phish Tank]

hey, Harden scored 53/16/17 for my fantasy team while Noah got me 15/16.... i'll take that

[X-Man Cometh]

Just fitting for Harden.

Is Curry's career high still 54?

[SuperflyKnick]

Of course we give up the highest points ever for triple double

[Adelheid]

We can't be playing Kuz, we need Lance and his defensive intensity.

Theories and generalizations can sometimes blur people from realizing what their eyes are seeing

[Oscirus]

Is it better to let harden shoot 3s or risk being called for a foul for ding up on his 3s?

[Greenie]

We move the ball wen welo is out

And KP...

[NoLayupRule]

thats not what I take from it

system isn't the hoy grail

the rockets are winning because the league has moved to an all offense game and Harden is having a career year
their team is built on analytics and its just a bunch of 3 point shooters
we wil see how they do in the playoffs

the knciks are struggling because we have limited talent, limited chemistry and limited cohesion between the roster
but were also not doing that badly

people act like were the worst in the league because we lost a few road games and lost to the celts who are killing it

were not
were a solid home team which is a solid start
were gonna get creamed by the rockets just like every other team is right now


just because one thing is so doesn't make it so for all things

just because the rockets are winning and have a new system doesn't mean a system is why the rockets are winning
or a lack of a system is why we lost
we had a system for years and it didn't work. in fact we had the same system as the rockets for a while. As did the lakers. with equal success

Limited talent?!?! I respectfully disagree.

The Knicks have WAY MORE talent than the Houston Rockets. Starting with one the greatest pure scoring weapon of Mass Destruction in Carmelo Anthony who STILL ranks 16 in scoring despite cutting his # shots by 6 more more per game. You got 2 Former MVPS, 1 of the most dynamic 21 year olds, a back up PG that starts on 1/2 the teams in the NBA.

Is Patrick Beverly more talented than Derrick Rose?

I love Ariza but he's no Carmelo Anthony.

Is Capela's career going to be more storied than Noah? Doubtful.

Is Ryan Anderson better than Porzingis? Pffft...not even going to fathom that thought.

Fact is, the Knicks have ZERO chemistry and Melo should have referred to the Knicks went he paid to print, "The System is broken."

Tonight, we get to see the talents of Lance Thomas aka Mr. TriBeCa.

in general I agree that our individual talent is superior
However their talent works better together, as of now
They have guys who make shots from three so that's all they do and then they have harden who is destroying eveyone

Rose, melo, lee, KP and Noah are still learning each other and their roles

I wouldn't say we have zero chemistry
I see a lot of chemistry out there
Just not enough and certainly not enough on defense
