Wilbon complain that Lakers and Knicks getting national tv games lol


Fcuk the Lakers.

Lebron had his chance to become part of the Squadron twelve years ago and passed. His legacy is set, but I’m not paying him no mind..

Sheesh for yearssss I couldn't stand LeBron after that. He was the corniest player in the league to me w that whole decision and passing on becoming a Legend in NY to go to Miami. Not many built like Melo n STAT too let's not forget

But staying on topic Durant snatched the title of corniest player OF ALL TIME n will never live that down. His legacy is a brand warrior for Charmin

this aint the team to go to war with :lol:


Why not?! Two top ten picks? Recent free agent acquisition. Semi recent success.. nah, how bout we win some games against a Memphis or Denver squad that’s supposed to make the playoffs. If we’re not gonna tank, then win something!

I don’t blame players for not wanting the smoke we give our players. Plus, Miami and Oakland are kinda dope places, you been?

Legacy isn’t worth what it used to be.. but best believe, had I made the league, I’d box someone to get to MSG… some of us just built different.

Really hope that the game is also on MSG tonight cuz after seeing Stephen A and Michael Wilpon whine about us being on national tv makes me never want to watch their network ever again.

kinda my point...I hate thibs. I think I could get juiced about this team if we actually invested in our youth. But instead I know what I'm about to see with Randle/Fournier tonight.

Not all of our youth are worth investment though. Obi is actually one of those who needs that.. and I’m not even a Randle hater. But, at some point we’ll have to choose. Maybe not this year, but at some point.

It's not Thibs's fault. These are two of our most talented players.

The FO is responsible for the direction of this franchise.

Randle made All-NBA and they paid him. They thought they could build on the success of 2020-21 and they added Fournier. Thibs is on the ground trying to do the best that he can with what he was given.

Nah I been to Miami not Oakland. Been to parts of cali tho its beautiful. I was always a NY head nowadays that gets less n less every year

I feel like if u feel like u THE best that u are THAT **** and u pass on taking on the challenge of the world's most famous arena to go to Cleveland or some other corny place where the lights ain't as bright.... That's corny to me. Like u said I always wanted ALL the pressure I didn't care what the challenge was. I just never understood how some players lack pride n ego. Like football players dogging it... Go be great every second u out there.

you have to also play a roster that fits together. Of course the FO owns there portion of the blame. But you don't play two bad defenders in the backcourt together...and playing Randle off ball will never provide enough returns.

I'll always hate LeBron for 2010. He had me convinced he was coming here. Having the 'Decision' in our backyard was such a disrespectful thing to do too. But looking back at it 12 years later, he made the right decision for himself. Hard to turn down sunny Miami and getting to play with Wade and for a genius and winner like Pat the Rat. I still think those cHeat rings are kind of weak but that Cleveland ring shines as bright as any ring in NBA history imho.

I don't think history will look too kindly to KD. Like 20-30 years from, this era will be remembered mostly for Curry and Giannis. KD will be an afterthought HOFer who took the easy way out. Now of course it can change if he wins a title this year but I don't see how kookie Kyrie not going crazy an entire season.

But the lesson learned? NYC is not for everyone.

That’s fair.

Not to Lebron for going home to Akron/Cleveland.

KD is from Maryland though, so maybe the smoke he gets is warranted, but honestly, I’d be about my money too and would’ve chosen Golden State. But again, I’m simple like that; I like money.

I don't think there is any way we do not make a major midseason trade. This is not the roster that will finish the season.

you have to also play a roster that fits together. Of course the FO owns there portion of the blame. But you don't play two bad defenders in the backcourt together...and playing Randle off ball will never provide enough returns.

You also need floor spacing and Fournier's the best shooter on the team.

Randle creates some issues because he's not an off-ball player and he puts a ceiling on a team as an on-ball player, but he's still arguably the most talented player on the roster after Derrick Rose. Sorry but any head coach would be invested in the revitalization of one of his best players just a year prior - and there's no doubt that's who Randle was in 2020-21.

The team has some talent but just lacks talent overall to be truly relevant. There's no magical formula within this roster. We just need to accept this.

It all starts at the top.

Besides, Grimes can't earn a starting spot if he's always hurt.
