The new world of screens is just a knick to slow the defender up. They don't really set screens any more. They just want to cause a hesitation and rush to the rim before anybody can react. Blame D'Antoni for that.

but the key there is spacing and speed. knicks have none of that. it's telegraphed and slow.

yeah. you'd first have to tell vonleh to stay in the corner for it to work. he can hit the 3 a little, i'm not sure why they don't ever do it. maybe this is why they wanna start knox now. maybe they're gonna make him play the 4.

As it happens, the first rule of Fight Thread is that you don't talk about Fight Thread. So there is none to speak of.
it really is a good idea. because this has happened so many times where people are locked in a dispute and it just travels from thread to thread. in the end it's not even about what they're arguing about, they're just trying to one up each other. so let them shoot the verbal fair one.

Don’t wanna see him backing down his man for 5-7 secs like Kanter to get a decent shot or turn it over. Mostly focus on his defense and rebounds

Pressure skews things.
Remember when you were 20? I could barely pump my own gas.
I've said my piece
Somebody probably could have taught you how to pump your own gas. I do remember when I was 20 I was putting myself through school, working 37.5 hours a week, studying 20 hours per week and living with my girlfriend whose family threatened me weekly for dating their Italian daughter.
20 used to be an adult.

What the Hell are you talking about? We ... fans ... don't do anything to players except pay their salaries. Coaches and the players do sruff to players. We aren't influential at all.KnicksGod wrote:prophet_of_rage wrote:KnicksGod wrote:Listen, all kidding aside, if Mitch can do it, then he can do it.

Playing in the NBA and playing effectively is a pretty mature thing to do. Let's worry about the rest later.
There is nothing wrong with quietly coaching him. With the other player I am trying not to mention, it feels like somehow his weaknesses became front & center and the thing everybody was trying to change. Meanwhile the kid has a good work ethic, high character, and played defense from Game 1. He also made a couple of slick passes in like his first few games, and that seems to have disappeared.
What am I missing? We screwed this kid up.
Mitch is maybe an even better prospect and maybe he'll be ready to score soon -- I have no idea -- but you accentuate the positive with these kids, not the negative.

And because your boy has been exposed doesn't mean Mitch needs to be limited.

Let me know when fans can vote. You've introduced a very weird take on a discussion about Robinson's development. Civic duty? Curse of the Babe?KnicksGod wrote:prophet_of_rage wrote:What the Hell are you talking about? We ... fans ... don't do anything to players except pay their salaries.

You say that in a time when the person running the world has gotten to that point in large part because of the noise of social & new media. I'm not buying it. Fans are influential. Noise is real ... for better or worse.
