This would work on the others, but you should know by now I'm the most dangerous type of opponent. I'm willing to take you with me to accomplish my goal. Mods, isn't this derailment by MeL0 and I? Isn't this beef outside of Hamsterdam? In conjunction with the Randle mention infraction as stated by rule number 32 in the Hamerstdam code & ethics agreement, I think we should both be banned for the entire season, I accept those terms as long as they fall on MeL0 as well.

The answer Towns gave to a simple question was weird though. I liked last year’s squad because they shared the ball, never over-dribbled or pouted, all signs of good habits and chemistry. Now this is not a good start, and I really hope he won’t just turn out to be the next selfish Knicks PF in line, but move the ball.

With that said, this new coach had better use this guy properly. You want to put him in the middle of basically all the action not just run and use him for spacing. This guy can actually make smart decisions with the basketball. Not a single player seems enthusiastic about the offense though…

Shared the ball? We went like 5 months with less than 10 assists from Brunson to KAT and barely any PnR. Offense was cheeks and primarily iso ball and hart/brunson dribble hand off spamming

Brunson was prone to over dribbling all year and all playoffs except the one time he should’ve over dribbled which was the end of game 1 ECF. At that time some Holy Ghost possessed him to pass and we lost the game

Pouting was happening all season. Hart was already pouting in preseason. Mikal was not rocking with his role. Rumblings of OG frustrated. Deuce clearly wasn’t happy with the game plans.

I think you’ve forgot a lot of why we ended up losing and why we HAD to can that coach. He had to go. No question. Now let’s give it a little time for this group to get rolling with the replacement until we pass judgment

The Josh Hart bill was always going to be due, his minutes were always going to catch up to him. Just like Luol Deng's eventually got the best of him.

Mike Brown: "Its going to take time."
JB: "Its going to take time."
Mikal: "Its going to take time."
KAT: "I dont know how I fit in the offense. Its going to take time."

Knicks fans: "We going to the finals!"

Maybe everyone in the organization is trying to temper expectations but I hope they are just under-promising and will over-deliver.
Fire Thibs!

Hart being out for like 3 weeks with back spasms is somewhat suspicious. I’ve never been a pro athlete but my back spasms only lasted a couple days. Maybe he’s got a slipped disk in his back or something?
