PG: Knicks vs Raps- 12/9/24

[stuporman]

Losing teams have lots of players with a negative plus/minus? Shocked!

[Jalen Bluntson]

It’s really a shame we still have to play these irrelevant bottom feeders 3 more times in the very near future maybe it’s best to avoid the PG after those affairs

Or just ignore the trolling. It's just jokes mostly but, when ignored you can see them for what they are. Bad jokes.

I preface this by saying that he’s been playing much better and I’m really happy about that

“This month” has been 5 games and we are 4-1 in those games so for the plus minus stat itself it’s a lot of team success on a small sample size

But, he’s having a very nice stretch, let’s hope it continues

Thank you, then I will continue to be hypercritical of his play.

Thanks and since you mentioned plus minus here are some stats about the team we just played against to get a general idea about how it is going over there.

IQ -29 in just 3 games? don‘t do your kentucky guys like that homie!!!!

Their top 4 players in +/- dont even have real pictures. What a poverty franchise. We wouldnt know what it feels like to root for a team that sucks that bad seeing how we're constantly in the playoffs and rooting for a winning team. Must suck to be a raptor fan. Their only hope is watching Duke games right now hoping the lottery gods favor them. Sad times.

Also not surprising who is at the bottom of that list. Glad he made it home.

[Guano]

I am so ready for the Hawks game. we better not **** up this …

Priorities!
Where tf is the game thread for the most important game of our lives!?!!?!

[stuporman]

Can someone explain to me why a team with amazing defenders like OG, MB, Hart, Deuce and Terry Johnson are struggling to start the season on defense? Oh that's right...it's the coach. NVM...I figured it out.

It can't possibly be that it takes a little while to jell even with great individual defenders...

[HerSports85]

I no longer trust my judgement of mikal. Cause this sht doesn't seem true at all.

Yeah, let me just be quiet..

[stuporman]

If a team has a 4-1 record for the month of Dec and a player is on the court for every single minute of those games of course they will have a great plus/minus

Could it be both? Again?

The word on the street is that we need an elite rim protector for Thibs system to work. So that's on the HC not being able to adjust. The thing we are seeing is that the players are incrementally improving as well. That's on the players figuring it out.

Losing Precious and not having Mitch definitely hurts the team defensively. We also lost both Payne and Deuce for decent little stretches at the same time. MB/OG/Hart are all learning to play together at the same time. In a system that prioritizes protecting the paint over defending the perimeter.

Seems like a little bit of both to me.

[Deeeez Knicks]

Mikal has been playing much better for awhile now. People are itching to make him the new escapegoat

[Guano]

:lol:
Which one of you heathens is Salvatore?

Figured it out - Salvatore is a thibs burner. Old man is trying new ways to reach the youth.

From before the season even started we had people making Mikal threads. Talking bad about EVERYONE in the starting 5 except for OG after a few games later. The KAT trade had people twisted like a pretzel and the picks we sent for Mikal had the pitchforks out from day one.

The emotional rollercoaster of reacting to every little thing from game to game, quarter to quarter, play to play is funny. 4 "new" players in the starting lineup and injuries to the bench be damned.

OBVIOUSLY! You can't act like Thibs system doesn't hurt the team. We are one of the worst three point defensive teams and that is ENTIRELY on Thibs.

Happy the Knicks won, but why we pumping our chest out on barely beating them after being embarrassed by the Hornets last week?

Look I need something to complain about or I'm forced to look inward which might lead to real contentment and happiness. Cant lose my identity at this point in the game.

Who is pumping out there chest? Seems to me like people are worried we lose the next game to ATL.

Choose 1 to bring back on a good contract.

.

That’s tough, IQ prob need less with Deuce leveling up so much and Cam too, Donte offensively would be great, but not as good defensively and off the bench for some reason… might have to go with Grimes for the 3&D at multiple positions. No GM is perfect, but Leon really wet the bed on that trade…

Can’t believe why anyone would pick RJ

[3toheadmelo]

So good he did all this in the clutch. Never change guys!

That rj pack still hitting!

Yikes! Looks like the toxic stat padding loser is putting up historic negative stats!
