The only true big that ever deserved the dunk contest was Dwight. Mitch doesn’t have any creativity. Plus he’d probably hurt himself. If anyone on the Knicks should be in the dunk contest it’s Barrett. He’s had some nasty dunks and has the athleticism and creativity to do something big.

Adam Silver rigged the dunk contest, sigh

Gary Payton was awful, JB Smoove was good and Jay Pharoe nailed it. Shouldve given each of the TNT crew a chance to get the mic and roast everyone.

Those are the rules.

Yep... and now the Knicks need to unclog the paint by throwing Randle, Frank and Gibson into exile... just look at the three names I typed... why are they in anyones starting lineup?

Put a shooter at the 2, 3 and 4, Mitch at the 5... and run RJ at the 1. He is no less of a PG than Ja, Dame, Steph, Derrick Rose, Kemba, Russ, etc. There's very few Chris Pauls in this world. The kid has a good head on his shoulders and will figure it out. More importantly, he thrives when he has a physical advantage.. so why not make guards, guard him? It's might just work.

All in all, our current roster makes zero sense and has zero chance of over-performing... this is a big reason why we are near dead-last in team TS%, eFG% and many other offensive categories. We have a completely flawed strategic gameplan that is hurting RJ, DSJs and Knoxs value (although I think Knix is hopeless anyways). We need to spread the defense out (which we can see is not a current priority), add as many 3DC (3, D and create) guys as possible and make all personnel decisions based on RJ and Mitch.

Conversely, if personnel decisions are being made based on fit around Randle (which there's a good amount of evidence that they are)... instead of making personnel decisions based on the fit around RJ, they should be shot.... and RJ should leave as soon as he possibly can.

Yes. We need to unlock the awesomeness that is Dennis Smith jr.

I'd like for us to finish in the bottom three and get a 14% chance instead of 10.5% as of now.

However, I want you to know that I think we will be rewarded the #1 pick this year- regardless...just as NO and the Grizz got #1 and #2 last year...and the lakers with their 11 spot miracle of course...

the quality of the dunk contest was incredible. I'm feeling for aaron. he had maybe 2 of the 5 best dunk perfomances ever and no title to show for.
