'SHARPSHOOTER Duncan Robinson on NYK's radar during Free Agency'

[NYK-Mentality85]

just because i know he hasn't figured out how the forum works yet:

viewtopic.php?t=2095391

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2101850

Who cares you? The board patrol or something? If a Mod wants to merge they can freely do so (idc).

And yes. I know how the forum works. It's a message board where Knicks fans can create threads and discuss our thoughts and opinions together especially during a boring offseason.

And maybe I wanted to focus and discuss Duncan Robinson and Duncan Robinson only?

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2096636

Similar thread to this one. 50+ pages since the rumor reports came out but yet I don't see you trolling that thread as a forum patrol officer, now do I?

As of two days ago or yesterday there have been over 20-30 articles of Duncan Robinson becoming a Knicks target come Free Agency in a couple of days so imo this thread is just as worthy as the Sexton rumors thread.

And in closing you're a grown man who can control your urges, right? Is anyone forcing you into opening this thread? Is anyone forcing you to read this thread? Is anyone forcing you to waste your own time posting within this thread? Is anyone forcing you to waste your own time on telling everyone how you "don't approve"?

If not feel free to leave my Duncan Robinson thread (who's one of my favorite potential Knicks free agents) and never return again. Deal?

Thnx you kindly, sir.

I don't think you do know how the forum works, as you continue to make brand new threads that should be placed in the aforementioned links, or threads already made.

Are you not a full grown man who can control your urge to go against our forum norm, and create new threads when they should be placed in the other ones like the rest of us do? We are all head to the same standard.

The Sexton one is different, because you are notorious for feeling the need to create new threads when you shouldn't be. Knixnsix is bad, but you've taken the crown, my man.


You have yet to learn. Hopefully you will soon. It's great that you're active. But there's a reason the vast majority think you're a joke - it's not just the mods.

I was criticized harshly when I did the same thing as you, in my early years. But I learned how the forum works. You have not. Hopefully you will one day.

I'm pulling for you.

I've asked two mods to lock this thread already. I don't even want to talk about Duncan Robinson anymore.

Take care.

Lol, and I actually wouldnt mind Duncan Robinson

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Who does Duncan guard if we play the Celtics, Nets, Pacers, Hornets or Hawks in a series? Any team with more than 1 perimeter scoring threat would immediately become a threat to have 1 of their secondary scorers go nuts. The Heat play zone to hide Duncan, Thibs only plays man to man, explain how we get away with having him on the court against those teams, because the Nets, Celtics and Hawks would hunt him without mercy every time down the floor.

I dunno how I feel about him but I’d ask who he guarded when the heat made it to the finals beating the pacers 4-0 the bucks 4-1 and celtics 4-2 with him in the starting lineup

[robillionaire]

I implore the mods to keep this thread open we are having a serious Duncan Robinson discourse in here and he’s better than Sexton

If we playing the sixers we can hide him on simmons

How did you miss that?

Watch on YouTube

And when they got to the finals their zone was broken because AD in the middle of a 2-3 zone is a disaster waiting to happen, they went to man to man and LeBron hunted Robinson and Herro pretty much for the rest of the series.


We don't play zone.

How do the Heat play zone "to hide Duncan Robinson" when the Miami Heat played zone even before he became a starter in 2019-2020?

Heat 2019 = Top 10 Defense.
Heat 2010 = Top 5 Defense.

Let's not make up stories about Heat playing zone "to hide Duncan Robinson" when they ALREADY played zone defense before his arrival.

"The Miami Heat have deployed the zone defense regularly over the last few seasons or so. It could turn out to be a major weapon in the Orlando NBA [b]bubble." [/b]

Let's stop with the fake news man.

[robillionaire]

I mean I googled “Duncan Robinson defense” and the first 3 articles are all praising his improvement and work ethic on that end, so yeah. I don’t care. This is an offense oriented 3 point oriented league so bring him on

Let's stop with the fake news man.

Teams play zone to hide their weakest defenders in the corners of the 2-3, or to snuff out the offense of a team that can't shoot, how do you not know this? They ran the zone almost every time Herro and Robinson were on the court together, once their zone defense got broken they were done.


There's no way you watched Robinson play, all you do is spam his shooting stats from last year without even realizing he had a down year this year.

You could just say "I like to argue, and didn't watch the Heat"


The Heat play zone more than any other team in the league, it doesn't take googling to put two and two together as to why they do it. You want to get a player from a team that runs a lot of zone, and bring him to a man to man system where we play defense on a string? Yeah, that has no chance of going badly.

He doesn't realize that Robinson only became a starter in 2019 and Miami had already utilized a lot of Zone Defense before Robinson even ever became a starter

2019: Top 10 Defense.
2020: Top 5 Defense.

The same Knicks fans making fun of his "Defense" are the same fans who fail to realize how NY only ranked 21st in 3s made and 26th in points scored per game

This kid is one of the top 15 3PT shooters of All-Time and has great size and length @ SF (6'7).

He helped lead Miami to the playoffs last year and to the NBA finals the year before but now he's not "good enough" for our Knicks?

Um.

You do know that Miami utilized a zone defense before Duncan Robinson's arrival, right?

I don’t even care to argue about it, Duncan will be a highly coveted player, good luck waiting for the perfect flawless player with no weakness in their game to come around that’s finally worthy of your praise

[robillionaire]

Apparently he became the fastest player to reach 500 3-pointers in NBA history, yeah why would we want a player like that let’s just keep our concerns on antiquated 1990s defensive strategies

It has nothing to do with flawless, I'd take Doug McDermott for a fraction of the cost, he does almost the same exact thing while being a better individual scorer and has the ability to play the smallball 4.

Last year you guys wanted to max out Joe Harris and Davis Bertans, every year I can count on someone saying we should go after some shooting specialist who does absolutely nothing else. How do you guys look at winning teams, see the multi-faceted players and then come back and covet guys who are just shooters?

We may as well trade everything for Buddy Hield then, he's the fastest to 1000 threes.

I forgot about Doug

Not as pure a shooter as Duncan, but I remember him being a really good cutter, and like you say, could likely be had for a fraction of the cost.
