Yep unfortunately thats what the boards been turned into because mods give out 755 last warnings to the same core of troll posters who would rather be """'"""right""""""" than see the Knicks win and be wrong.

I 1000% agree.

Most people here agree, yet they're still somehow here after posting homophobic images and just overall doing the same stuff they've been doing for 3+ years now. I mean they had to get their own thread created because they couldn't stop mentioning former players. I just don't understand it, they must have some dirt on the mods at this point. Only explanation, especially when more long time standing posters have gotten banned for much much less.

But what do you do with him Sham. We can't trust him to be the full time starter for the season, and idk how well him and KAT work together either. So if KAT got traded we would be relying on him to go back to being the starter and idk if it works because he's injury prone... I love Mitch but can't rely on him.

This season was kinda the perfect scenario for how his season can go. I don't think we get this lucky again.

Nothing is being blown up man, we're one of the last 3 teams left, we talk about roster with holes, every single team has holes in this league outside of prob OKC. You make adjustments not trade your players. With the training staff you keep Mitch at the 5, KAT doesn't get us Jokic or Giannis so he stays, OG is the defensive engine don't kid yourselves and Bridges had an up and down year but what he did in that Boston series was really good, Brunson is obv not going anywhere. Find a way to get Divo, absolutely love Bruce Brown, develop the young guys and take another shot next year w/ a cohesive unit, east isn't going to be really tight next year.

Mitchell would have eclipsed Ben Wallace had we made it to the finals. Mitchell Robinson should be the starting center for the New York Knicks come October.

If he is, we'll need a new starting center by November unfortunately. He's got starter talent, but injuries make him unable to be trusted.

OG never played as many games as this year either, everyone was healthy, the training staff we must trust. Made it to the ECF year 1 of this squad. Will be rite back next season and will be even better with a couple moves

I hate this year's team for how bad they hurt us.

But at the same time, I love what this team gave us. They gave us an Eastern Conference Final. They gave us so many heart attacks with their comebacks and dodged bullets, and fight.

They could only hurt us because what they showed us when they were locked in was so damn good.

Changes are coming. While I don't love this team like last year's, there's no doubt I will always remember them.

May this be the worst year for this nucleus, whatever it morphs into this summer.

It's been the best for the Knicks in 25 years.


There was zero consistency from game to game.

One game we look like we've figured it out on both ends, the next we revert back to everything that got our asses kicked in the loss prior.

It doesn't make sense to me and Leon and company need to evaluate -everything- from the roster to the coaching. Something is seriously wrong.

Yes it was great making the ECF. But if the team wants to take the next step and get over the hump, resting on the laurels of this conference finals appearance would be a huge mistake. Huge.

everything that they are doing is thibs' will. If they reverted, that is still thibs' will.

Look at the way thibs and Josh argued that moment. Josh will never win of course. Everyone was dead silent. Thibs is the alpha of this team

Do you know what the term homophobia means? Seems like some of you like to use big words without knowing what it means. Pipe down because you were already aired out for being in denial on how racist the Giants are when it comes to drafting a black QB.

So unexpected surprise my seats were right in the Knicks tunnel, and my gut feeling from being 5 feet away from Leon/Wes/Gerson as they hugged players is that KAT and Jalen aren’t going anywhere. Those are Leon’s sons.

My money is on Thibs being the odd man out. IDK if it’s this summer or mid-season but I bet they make tweaks to stack the bench with defenders/shooters/fresh legs and if Tom refuses to adjust they just bring in Mike Malone.

This drunk Knick fan in the tunnel yelled “get us Giannis” to Leon and Leon looked disgusted. I don’t see them it blowing up. IMO the weakest link, easiest to replace, and most vulnerable is Thibs. If Malone is in. I wouldn’t be surprised to see an announcement sooner than later to quash Giannis rumors.

I still to this day have no understanding of why he was traded for 2 seconds. Yeah he told Thibs he can't coach but I would have had to figure that one out. We could use a forward like that off the bench.

After sleeping on it, it’s probably best to keep this core together and move Hart for a ball handling G who can shoot. Also move on from Thibs.

Use the MLE on another wing.

Hope Hukporti and Kolek can develop into rotational pieces.

I do know what it means you f*cking ignorant, childish jackass. My cousin's father told him to his face that he hoped he died of AIDS when he came out the closet. 10 years before he died from cancer. I know exactly what it is and why your bullsh*t isn't cute. Grow tf up Melo. You're an ass hole.

And also, the Giants are starting a Black QB this year and the back up is Black. Just because they passed on Shedeur for acting like an idiot during interviews doesn't mean what you think it does.

Go play your derailing troll games with someone else, I'm not the one lil bro. FOH

Karl Anthony Towns is the worst defender in the NBA. That’s not hyperbole.

KAT will never win a title as the second best player in a team playing 35+ minutes per game. His defensive game and his offensive disappearances are simply not the makeup of a guy in the playoffs. He does not have the mentality of a champion. He never did and never will. If we want to waste $60 million on this type of player then be my guest.

If KAT is on the roster next year I’m throwing in the towel on the Knicks until he’s off the team. That’s how strongly I feel about it. I never wanted this player. I’ve been hating on KAT for a decade. I was disgusted with the trade - and I hate Julius Randle. This man made me prefer Randle. KAT is the epitome of a soft loser and he is anti-NY. We will never win a title with him starting as one of the centerpieces of the team. Mark it down. Come back to it. I’m confident in that statement. So if he’s here then I’m out.

PS: Thibs is going nowhere. Guy might be more safe than Brunson. When you hire people because they’re ‘family’ they begin to protect each other instead look out for the best interests of the team.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.
