Thank you!

"We traded a thousand picks for shandon Anderson2.0 " is for sure getting dropped in the first post-game thread he has an off game.

Premeditated trolling! Brilliant!

Thank you glad my talents aren't being wasted here.

Never. I see the work you put in.

See i dont agree with this.

We have differing opinions that we express different.

I dont know why some posters have such a hard time allowing everyone to coexist without stressing out the mods.

Do expect everyone to share my same beliefs about OG and 3pac no.

Do I think the kolek krew is absurd yes. Do I think the death to thibs crew was a lil much yes. But I can tolerate them and even find the differing opinions and even antagonism enjoyable.

A hive mind without spice seems boring af.

And there are posters I genuinely fundamentally do not like. I ignore them even when they prod. Cause even though I do fck with them others here do and if theyre knicks fans and deserve a place to kick it even if I dont like them.

Then what don’t you agree with?

That this place is beyond repair and that differing opinions are "trolling"

That if someone doesnt share my opinion or view they are wrong.

That we need mods to overextend and dictate how the forum is run. That we as adults should be able to police ourselves and ignore people that we dont fck with. That its okay to be slightly uncomfortable around others. That we can share spaces with people we dont agree with. Especially when it comes to a knicks forum.

That its easy to find common ground and get along even if mp cauddles mikal he is still a knicks fan at the end of the day.

Spot-on. And no crows have ever been harmed either. What’s really frustrating is when posters fail to accept their serving, but 1) over years and years on realgm we’ve all improved in that regard and 2) we should be able d to deal with it if we don’t like someone. It’s never even personal, is it?

I appreciate the modding very much and I’ll accept if I took it too far here or there, but the report-buttons should mostly be no-gos in our community. These guys have better things to do.

I feel like even when it gets personal its not personal. I mean I know some, or a lot might not fck with me, but when someone lashes out or hell even when I do it, its not the personal. Its a lack of self regulation and consider how fcking hard it is out here to function that this is a place to come for fun and distraction and bonding.

So no its never personal, even when it seems personal, its the bestq knicks forum to enjoy knicks hoops with other knick fans(sickos).

Youre missing the Forrest for the trees. You need to stepback and look at the whole picture.

Og freed us from the tyranny of rj's putrid play. He replaced a delusional no defensive unathletic plodding wing with a a demon on defense and a MLB on offense with a nice outside shot.

Mikal on the other hand killed has a horrible looking 3 is afraid of contact like he suffers from a horrendous case of eczema all while nuking our flexibility.

So while they might be similar stats context matters.

Plus og isnt a coach killer. He just does his job and collects scarves.

Mikal helped get Thibs fired he is doing gods work. Oh and BTW reading through the tea leaves...OG wanted Thibs gone as well...only Brunson/Hart were ok with keeping Thibs.

Mikal was 50/35/81 splits with good defense - he was 2nd on the team in +/- throughout the season.

Mikal had his hands on some of our most memorable wins in the playoffs.

And you out her campaigning like he's Shandon Anderson!

Yes I would like him to get to the FT more...hopefully a new coach gets him confidence then basically used as a floor spacer with the 1st team. And yes I need him to get back to hitting more ATB 3's...that should unlock more offense. But there are incremental improvements here...not a total upheaval of his game.

Thank you!

"We traded a thousand picks for shandon Anderson2.0 " is for sure getting dropped in the first post-game thread he has an off game.

Dork that I am, I started thinking about that comp and was like "didn't Shandon get to the line a lot for somebody who sucked that much" and even bigger dork I went and looked it up and it was true. He had a pretty high free throw rate for somebody that bad. 0.319, which is not that much less than Michael Jordan at 0.358 and Jordan went to the line a LOT. Anderson was awful but, lord bless him, he did attack. And I got to comparing it with Mikal's career FTr, which turned out to be not super high but a little higher than I expected... but with one little blip. Can you spot it?

Give it another season. If they disappoint, fine, change something, but now is not the time for big changes, imo.

I think you misunderstood me. There is no way that a guys FTr slicing by 2/3 is on the player. Thibs was using Rip Hamilton like Kyle Korver.

yeah idk, some of it's on him. i saw a lot of opportunities for him to attack the basket and get a layup or draw a foul and he opted for a mid-range fadeaway instead. i didn't watch him much on the nets or anything but he definitely has his own problems aside from how he was used

[Jeff Van Gully]

Soooo for charities sake if someone was to quote a poster from a different thread into here and slander the poster is that fair game?

wait, so now you're asking about that?

Sure

Why is it okay for you to drop your top ten predator list in a thread and someone else gets a warning for calling the same guy a creep.

And would that poster get a pass if he quoted then into here calling him a creep.

Shts messy af.


So yeah im aking for some clarity on how messy we can be in here.

to be fair, i only included one person in that statement.

but you been opened that door. so i was surprised you wanted to ask about it.

See this is where I cant abide by blaming thibs solely for mikals lack of aggression cause we literally saw him take the ball out from under the hoop to take fades. It was bizarre. And I doubt it was thibs who advised him to fck up his form.
