Preseason means NOTHING.

Just be glad nobody important got hurt and we saw some potential from the rooks.

Yup, excited for Tuesday. Crying does absolutely nothing. Almost like people want the team to be bad so they can be right. Getting out of control :lol:

Josh hart basically asking to be benched just shows the current state of this team. You guys can be in denial about it though

Might be a month or so of growing pains with this group but they’ll figure it out. We give it a go for 1-2 seasons and we could always bundle KAT with Mikal or OG and try for Giannis.

I’m confident KAT and Mikal will figure their shooting out sooner rather than later.

This has the makings of the 2013-2014 season when we went all in on Bargs and went away from what made us successful in 2012. Oh boy.

Leon rose was bargs agent also

Went from guys standing in a corner with 2 clear options kicking it to them to a more modern offense that requires really good players to play team ball. Not shocked this is going to take some time. This is normal.

Kat and Towns making it clear 1 and 2 punch. OG is chipping in. Mikal and Josh hasn’t done Anything and we have Deuce one of our better shooters a night off. I’m not worried.

Josh gets frustrated with all new challenges. We know it’s hard rebounding down there with Kat not trying to get in too much foul trouble and he’s no Mitch. We would have had to deal with small ball anyway this year so let’s just get going.

Bridges’ midrange and free throw form good. So there’s hope he’ll unchange whatever the f he did to his 3pointer

Looks the same.

His shot is definitely wonky right now and the form has changed, even his guide hand (left) looks off after he releases it. His set point right now is nearly behind his head, it's like he watched Jokic and said to himself "well he doesn't get blocked, let me try a lil of that".

Set point

The Nova form is much better, the V angle formed between his shoulder and wrist is basically ideal, all he needed to do was load his wrist more to get his hand under the ball

Whoever changed his shot to what we saw last night should be fired

"Kat and Towns making it clear 1 and 2 punch" Are you saying KAT is twice as good as we thought? Or can he subdivide at will to trick the defenses? Perhaps a new Marvel character is born!@ 8-)

Watch on YouTube

Mikals was the only starter last night that was net negative, he was the stinker in the lineup even with Josh passing up shots, Mikal was -8.1.

You'd think someone would have pointed that (changed shot form) out to him by now.

Is this your first season following the Knicks? The Knicks are cursed. Every good player that comes here plays worse or gets injured.

Bridges really risking his Iron Man reputation by coming over to NYC. About to turn into Allan Houston.

I can't wait for the hour long youtube analysis breakdowns about Bridges jumper that will be coming...and you know they are coming.

With the Nets he had a pause when he'd catch the ball but the shot was a lot smoother, now he still has a pause on the catch and a hitch before the release, just nasty how coaches can see that and not address it.
