post game - that sucked

[Capn'O]

Frankie Time!

Oh - and Obi at the SF...

Frank will get an opportunity and choke again.
Obi with the rainbow 3 misses by bushel full.

Knicks lose.

Obi will crush it. Foh Knicks lose!

[F N 11]

Good, Rose health is more important. Get him that rest game after having to pick up for the rest of the team so much lately.

[snadler]

Well there goes the 4 seed

I'm going to go counter narrative and suggest that Thibs sticking with Elf is good for the Knicks in the long term.

It's obvious to fans, media and is evidenced by the stats that Elf has a negative influence on the Knicks when he is on the floor but Thibs loyalty in the face of doubting and scrutiny speaks volumes to other players thinking about the Knicks as a new home how he will stick by them if they struggle and the mob comes for them.

We see the missed shots, TOs and advanced stats groaning with every moment having to witness it but the players know about the inside the locker room and behind the scenes dynamic that we may not see outwardly. This speaks to them in a way we will never understand.

Even though it's incredibly frustrating watching the Knicks be handicapped at the start of every half I'm going to be patient with this situation because....well, I have zero input in what happens so effit, why incur angst for essentially something that effects almost nothing in my own life. It's a game.

Yet you spent 10 minutes typing up a post to basically say you don’t care so obliviously it does effect you

[BugginOut]

Well there goes the 4 seed

We have the tie breaker. All we need to do is win out and Miami needs to lose one. I’m not waiving the towel now

Nope, Hawks will not lose their last 2, and even if Knicks win last 2, Miami would need to lose, 3 way tie Hawks get 4 by winning division. Hawks have the easiest schedule

[stuporman]

Thibs sucks
RJ is a bust
Knicks about to lose out and get ousted in the play in

Gotta love this board

People say self love is the best love.....

I said it doesn't cause me angst....but it appears my content with the situation disturbs your peace and you don't have any ability to see how this is even possible.

The real point of the post was to suggest this has long term positive effect with regard to the potential players thinking about the Knicks because players value public support and loyalty.

Of course you probably were so conflicted with my peace that you completely missed this main point of the post.

Elfrid's sub-15 minutes of playtime, despite being the starting pg -- is not what I would call "loyalty". It feels like he is just out there playing token minutes, maybe because of contractual obligation or stipulation.

Heat, Hawks and Knicks are tied. We have 3 games left. If we win out and Hawks win out, Miami has to just lose one to the Bucks or Sixers and we get the 4th seed because we have the tiebreaker over the Hawks. So like I said we just need to win out and hope Miami loses one.

Again, it's not what we as fans think we see or feel about it, my point is about it's how players view it.

[Clyde_Style]

0-3 finish incoming. Better hope Boston loses a game or say hello to the play in

Buzzkillionaire?

just making sure everyone is aware of the worst case scenario at all times!

I now suspect you are the offspring from the unholy union of Buzzardman and Bella Abzug

Spoiler:

bonus round points goes to the first person who knows who that is

You do remember Austin Rivers was buried on the bench just a few months ago right?

[HarthorneWingo]

When he's on the Mavericks?

He will be playing for SIG Strousbourg or Cholet Basket this time next year

i was thinking shanghai sharks

Now you're both on my list.

I saw earlier that Butler might be out against Philly. That could be the one loss we're looking for.

Happy to see the Knicks back in the playoffs, but that’s about it. The NBA is a bad product. Positionless basketball is boring, low iq basketball.

Oh, and Randle is not a star player. He shouldn’t be handling the ball half the time. I don’t want to see him maxed.

Yes, how I long for the days when teams dumped the ball into the post 50 times a game

50 times is better than 0. Playing hot potato with the ball until someone shoots a three is is low iq basketball, only young people seem to think a glorified pickup game is entertaining. You might as well watch the Harlem Globetrotters play.

Very few teams actually run plays... penetrate and kick out for a three, set a million picks for a three, running to the three point line on a fast break because they don't know what to do inside the paint.. no real skill is required. Guys don't know how to shoot in mid range, don't know how to defend or play in the post, they don't cut. There is no strategy to the way they play. Low iq basketball that only a simpleton would enjoy.
