Game 30: Knicks vs Spurs; Christmas day@12pm '24'; ABC/ESPN 

Post#1 » by Context » Tue Dec 24, 2024 7:09 pm

Knick family!!!!! 4 in a row!!!! :nod:
Coming off a great win, in the context of-- games we are "suppose" to win- the post game thread let me know-
we're feeling Gooooooooooooooood!!!!
The game started off a little cranky but you could tell the Raptors would be no trouble for us...
Then...
The cam·paign began...what is a "campaign" the dictionary says it's "an organized course of action to achieve a goal."
Cam's goal in a game, is to come in and make sure he keeps the lead or extends it. He's a player on a mission to NEVER
have to go overseas again. He took the little things for grant before...And true to his word as we have seen him do time and time again- he came in and extended the lead....Our Knicks took over and never looked back...
We dropped 139 points with the Captain only putting up 12/7...
Check out the PG thread for more details....

On to the next game...

Game 30:Knicks vs Spurs; Christmas day '24'; ABC/ESPN

It will be christmas when the Knicks suit up to face Wemby, Paul, some solid youth and solid vets...
It will be interesting to see how Kat handles Wemby. I watched Kat handle the Joker in the play-offs playing a significant role
in his former team winning the series. While this game may not matter as much as a play-off game- it will be nationally watched and will be at home on christmas. We know how our Knicks play when the basketball world is watching...
Mr New York aka The Big Bodega will be ready...
Who do you think will shine in this match up? Lets talk about it...

I wonder if we will see OG on Wemby and if so what will the strategy be?
I know Kat will take the assignment...

Most effective way to guard him right now is to put a strong wing defender on him while your C takes Sochan because he can't shoot. It makes Wemby take even more threes and focus less on trying to score in the paint.

Wemby will not be getting 8 blocks camping in the paint with our 45% three-point shooting center out on the perimeter.

The refs will be cheating so KAT has to watch out for foul trouble.

In fact I have OG forcing turnovers guarding Wemby and KAT guarding the terrible three-point shooting Sochan.

If OG can make things difficult for Embiid, I'm confident he can hold his own against Wemby

I don't think people really get his game yet, you put a center on him and your rim protection is outside guarding him. He's only 20 and not physically capable of overpowering strong wings, in the future he will but for the time being putting strong wings on him stops him from dribbling and he can't really post them up yet so he becomes a giant Klay Thompson on offense.

That will go out the window when he's around 23-25 and that kind of cross match won't work, but it does for the time being.

Refs will take center stage. 30 fts for Webanyama or however you spell it Wemby is a dumb nickname it sounds like what you'd call a border collie

:nod:

And defensively OG has silverback strength, lateral speed, quick hands, and a 7'2 wingspan.

At this stage in Wemby's development, he is definitely not looking forward to being guarded by OG.

Just saw another interview with Jamal Crawford, apparently over the offseason Wemby sought him out and he flew out to Seattle to get some training on his handle.

F*ck this kid is scary.

The championship window is right now. We can't waste this opportunity.
