Kanterrible

To name a few.


Knicks fanbase will not possibly wait too long before he mocks his own self through supposedly funny videos and find some pretty stupid nickname for himself. He is that kind of a goofball.

No, I would just rather not watch OKC go 2-11 against the Warriors and Rockets this year like they did last season. Not playing Kanter against those two teams was a huge part of the reason they got destroyed. The idea that you're going to compete with the two best offensive teams in the NBA while not playing your 2nd best offensive player was beyond ludicrous and of course it blew up in their face. Of course your boy Roberson had 13 points in 4 games against the Warriors so he was really balling out there though (0-10 on 3 pointers). LMAO. I simply want the coach and this franchise to do what 99.9% of teams throughout the history of basketball has done...to start the best available overall player at each position. Kanter was CLEARLY the best player to start at power forward (ridiculously better than Sabonis or Taj Gibson) and I guarantee that everybody will see what he's capable of with the Knicks since they're going to be playing him those minutes.


Kanter was unplayable against the rockets. Love Kanter but he simply can't defend


That's just absolute hogwash and the actual truth is the only way OKC could have defeated the Rockets in the playoffs was if Kanter started and played 34-36 minutes. The Rockets had absolutely nobody that could have guarded Kanter the entire game and he would have destroyed them down low. Guys like you crack me up talking about his defense. James Harden is one of the worst defenders in the NBA. Is he also "unplayable"? LMAO. Dude if you're an elite scorer and rebounder like Kanter you're almost always going to be a net positive game in and game out. So what if he gives up a few points if he goes out there and scores 26. Same thing with Harden. They live with his defensive deficiencies because he averages 29 points and 11 assists. They certainly couldn't have done much worse as they got beat 4-1. The idea that you're going to try to compete with teams like the Rockets and the Warriors without playing your 2nd best offensive player was beyond ludicrous and like I've said before many times it resulted in a 2-11 record against those 2 teams.

How many games will the Knicks win this year?

It’s exciting to think about how excited the crowd will be at the Peake tomorrow night as the post-Cupcake contenders are announced.

Haha yep. Billy doesn't need to worry about hiding him now. Russ and Adams will do what they do and we will see Kanter in the wrong position every time.
It was so frustrating to watch last year. Kanter seemed like a really good guy and all but he was so hard to watch in an OKC uniform.
Kanter said that Noah has been trying to help him with defense.. pretty sure all of the Okc team did too.. it didn't help much

Hearing Patterson and Felton will likely play.

Just confirmed by Royce. Singler inactive. Bet Huestis gets a little tick especially if it turns into a blow out.

a net positive? is that why the thunder were -17pp100 against the rockets and warriors last season (playoffs included) with kanter in the game?

saying the same thing over and over again doesn't make it true. your statements about kanter run counter to what actually happens on the court when he is playing. and any time anyone tries to confront you with this information you go off on some tangential tirade.

This is bigger than the Melo trade.

Melo obviously doesn't have a d in it.

Refs are a little horny with the whistle on both sides.
