PG Thread: Tanks a Make Her Dance

This is what non-tanking tanking looks like--not doing everything to win and not doing everything to lose, just trying to "compete" and fool the stupid fans... "Talent acquisition phase" is a joke too, we lost Doug and a 2nd for a questionable talent...wow, the cupboard is full of talent now!

I know losing Doug McDermott a.k.a. Larry Bird, Jr. was a tough, crushing blow.

We will never learn and excuses are still made for how we approached this season

the league would go bankrupt if every team just played to lose. no team tanks on purpose, and every team approaches the season the same way.

I didn’t ask for examples, but thanks for providing one

NP but i wasnt providing it for you. i was just explaining so other people dont become as uninformed.

We're going to have to watch Jack and other vets start and get 30+ minutes for the rest of the season. It is what it is.

Good thing is Jeff will seal his own fate by doing this, as he has no "developing the youth" excuse as to why he tanked the season. His coaching ineptitude is laid bare.

I know he's young and he's coached by an awful coach but right now Ntilikina is one of the worst players in the entire league. The kid literally has no impact. He almost has no skills on offense, he plays careless and he has no motor. Even defensively he's sucked the last few weeks. We'll only be able to use the age excuse for so long.

Trade lee for space

Sign young players with potential ( hezonja, looney , mccaw, whoever is nice)

Draft best injured prospect(porter?)

Frank/Mudiay/Burke
Hardaway/Baker
Porter/LMFT
Porzingis*/whoever
OQuinn/Noah?

*injured

2018/2019 challenge bobcats for less wins ever and draft #1.

He's taking the 18 Million.

"I know he's young and he's coached by an awful coach" is all you have to say.

The best way to stop other people from becoming so uninformed?

Stop spreading the excuses used by this garbage organization and the fans who defend the Knicks at all costs.

Hardaway should be okay if/once we get the other pieces in place.

Here's the 2-2 that has the basketball world buzzing today:

Reasons not to trust Jeff from jump

1) He kept Rambis
2) He bowed down to the triangle
3) After getting blown out by the Rockets his first game, he said we didnt get a chance to practice defense.

Tim is not that bad. He just needs a system where he knows where his shots are coming from. someone to hold him accountable for dumb shots. AKA a real coach.

Are you f*cking kidding me Jeff!!!! then teach him!! Show him how to guard the off balls screens. How is he going to f*cking learn. Im just baffled how clueless he is and perry/mills are keeping up the charade...Jack who's been one of the worst defender in the entire league gives you a better chance?

The season is over, its about development and about the youth. How about call a timeout sit frank/mudiay/dotson whoever down and say this is how we are going to defend that off ball screen play. See how they execute. You just don't take them out because Jack has seen it before

How the f*ck is frank going to ever learn with that style of coaching? Hey take a seat because you haven't seen that play before....FOH jeff.

He's making the game harder for guys like Hardaway and Beasley; he's definitely not helping the rookies. I rarely stay tuned for the post game but I really wanted to hear him on this one to see if there was some deeper reason. But the guy's logic is trash imo.

I see a fantastic move and finish off the dribble, and a pretty impressive first step that the defense couldn't recover from because of Frank's length.

Looks good to me.

The same thing can be said about literally anybody who is in the league and not 19. You don't gameplan around that.

or, is he tanking on purpose? Even Jeff has to Know that Jarad is no longer the best guard on the team. Frank has surpassed him even IF we aren't fully satisfied with his game. Same with Muiday or however it's spelled.
