A solid move for the Knicks imo. As much as we clown them they aren't that bad.

I’m very bothered by any notion that the entire regular season is essentially just a warm up practice for the postseason. Sure, there are teams that are built for the playoffs, but things we struggle with (I.e. defense, turnovers) have to be addressed during the regular season. You cannot simply expect to flip a switch and go from a undisciplined, terrible defending team to a defensive juggernaut. Those things are built over a season.

I’ve been waiting to see genuine progress on certain issues. Our talent is a curse and a blessing, because the Nets can always believe that they’re a KD-Kyrie-Harden explosion away from scoring 10-12 points in 2 minutes. While it’s true that that can be done, they need to work towards making it a regular thing than just assume it’ll come whenever they need it.


We have to develop better habits defensively if we can ever hope to win a title. That means at some point we have to get some consistency in the regular season. I don't believe in flipping switches.

Agreed. I never cared about where we started. As long as I see continued improvement, I can trust things will be alright.

But the problem is rebounding has been an issue since Day 1 and the Harden trade made us worse by giving up Allen, who wasn’t even that great of a rebounder but just the best we had.

I’m going to give Marks the benefit of the doubt, since he just pulled off one of the biggest in-season trades in history. And with much fewer assets, he needs to make sure that whomever he surrounds the Big 3 with via the buyout market is the best piece possible. If it takes time for him to find the right deal and/or right player, so be it. But if the buyout window and trade deadline comes and goes without further changes, I’ll be upset.

Remember, right after the trade, Marks was asked if the roster was final, and he (almost defiantly) said absolutely not. I think he was alluding to the belief that we’re still missing some pieces and any potential buyout suitors watching should make themselves available when buyout season comes.

I truly hope I’m reading the tea leaves with this.


If we don't come out of the deadline and buyout season substantially improved i will be livid.

Two poor turnovers by Joe back to back.

Damn. I love that.

Harden calls Joe over to let TLC know that he messed up on the hand off in the corner right there. That’s leadership.

Seth Curry is an excellent role player. Plays both sides of the ball, obviously a great shooter, but pretty good off the dribble too.

So can the refs do the same thing for Trae Young who jumps into every defender on his foul baiting jump shots?
