I don’t even think he was much different the first time around. Things are prettier when you’re winning.


Umm, I actually thought he was good the first time around as well.

He has obviously improved to great this time around


His 3 point shooting was pretty terrible in 16-17. But he pretty much improved each year since.

I never wanted to get rid of him. I - MEEEEEEE - saw that he was still valuable to this franchise. But no one listens to me. I'm just old man Wingo who's been following the team since 1968.


You were rooting for Welo Rose.


Probably. But I saw the diamond in the rough. :D Rose was still attacking the basketball well and his BBIQ has always been good. But his 3-point shoot was really bad back then.

But, hey, we're living in the present and future looks bright! 8-) And kudos to Rose for continuing to work hard on his game. I love the way he's playing right now.

Rose can serve as placeholder while we look for permanent PG.
Maybe IQ can grow into one in couple of years.
Don't need to make hasty move such as giving out farm for Dame.

Rose is better now because he doesnt have to be the best player on the team and we dont need him to play 36mpg in order to win.

If he is the starting PG next year he will regress by a lot. His current role is perfect because he isn't the first option when he's on the court.

SAS can wipe his ass with all the money he’s making now but he’s had to come to work all these years and get cooked about the Knicks on national television for years.

Let em prance around for this one.

Can’t take a guy seriously who down played Jeremy Lin’s success, said the Knicks should have drafted Stanley Johnson over KP, disrespected Julius Randle when we acquired him and has fueled the media’s mockery of the Knicks.And no true Knicks fan would openly admit that they’re happy for the success of the Brooklyn Nets.

Now he wants to post videos of himself acting like we won a title so then he can make us look dumb if something goes wrong with the organization.The guy gets paid 16 million dollars by ESPN to have the entire world believe that every die hard Knick fan is irrational and melodramatic.

When you put it that way...

He sounds like a reactionary Knicks fan with terrible takes that you could find on any social media platform. :lol:

Only difference is he gets paid millions. :lol:

Adande is a jealous fool Bulls fan. Whenever someone says 'This thing doesn't matter except outside of XYZ' ... it means the thing definitely matters outside of XYZ.

Exactly. We have to make sure that Rose doesn't have to play a punishing amount of minutes, given his age and injury history. But he has been playing at an all-star level since he came back. He's surprised the hell out of me.

As it stand now, the Clippers play the Lakers in the first round. The pick swap might be in play.

Wow. That would insane. To think that it was literally a "lolpick" asset when we made the deal.

Man....everything is better today. Waking up was better. Breakfast tasted better. The wake and bake feels better. This is what winning feels like as a Knicks fan. So bizarre. Keep it rolling. This team can compete with anyone. Now we need to prove we can beat anyone with the upcoming schedule. I ain't afraid of anyone right now!!

Need to see a little more from Randle but...it may be a good idea to pick up that option next year!! :lol:

Comparing any team to Jordans run in the finals that decade is as pathetic and butt sore as one can get. The Bulls haven't won shyt since! Sit down Adande. No one cares about the Bulls anywhere else since Jordan retired!

All game, I was like "Who does Kyle Anderson remind of".

It was nagging at me. Finally remembered:
