its Jalen's turn now to turn his corner

Josh in preseason when he couldnt buy a basket... Rodman without even the usual hustle
Bridges to start the season being a Landry Fields on offense and a Jose Calderon on defense
Towns through the way not being aggressive on Off and being a phantom on Def (a morph of Monroe on O and Amare on D)
OG Anunoby with the shooting slump and moving like a drunk Boris Diaw from either his elbow flare ups or/and Thibs playing him marathon minutes

Now its on our captain to work on his mental more than the tactical issues of the game and how to be an orchestrator and the first violin in the same time (both a commander and the best sniper)... Better decision making, faster pace, more off the ball movement and shots off that and more focused on the flow of the game and be able to dictate the tempo and see the weaknesses of the opp faster than they would be able to readjust
Strength and Honour!

Well, sorry to burst you bubble, but you know what is the difference to a non-French international fan between Wemby or any rando American player? Nothing, they are equally as foreign.


Yeah it’s not like Russian and Australian and Portuguese fans are more likely to watch the league more now that a Frenchman is here.


And even then how many in France will stay up until 4am to watch basketball to help their ratings. I’m sure some really dedicated wemby fans do it but it can’t be that many

I’m a die hard nba fan and I wouldn’t do this, if I move abroad I’ll probably skip watching the nba maybe catch highlights or nba finals replays on occasion


A good option would be for you to move to Australia where the 7.30pm tip off is 11.30am here. Perfect for a bit of work / basketball to get you through to 5pm 8-)

Couldn't watch, but got the phone call from my brother at 2:30.

He only calls after wins, because he knows I'm too annoyed to speak after losses.

Seems like Mikal had a good game or something!

NBA got their Wemby show, Knicks got the W. Nice.

God bless us, everyone!

Mikal up to 4 pick value.

Going to need to see that 50 point game for 5 pick value

The biggest takeaway for me is nothing went right in this game except for Mikal and we still won against a quality opponent.

he just nearly had 40 pts and carried us in New Orleans when everyone else was dead.

But he hasn't had much consistency this year.

Even though the numbers are good...its a bit choppy right now.

I do that a bit with European soccer since the games start in the mornings and afternoons here in the US

Mikal last 11 games

22.7 ppg
57.7% fg's (15.9 fga/g)
46.9% 3pt fg's (7.4 3pa/g)

Can he squeeze into the allstar game as our 3rd allstar?

He needs to sign the sorry for fcking with you great loyal passionate knicks fans form. Sorry I was shooting like I was throwing in a soccer ball right after the knciks traded 5 unprotected picks for me. I'm sure that caused a lot of unnecessary stress in your already hard lives.

Man was shooting 30% from 3 and was statistically one of the worst defenders in the league to start the season :lol: foh trying to force us to apologize. Mikal himself said he needed to be better on both ends too.

just have fun with it dawg

And still hit 6 3s on top of all that as well :lol:


Exactly, but the fact that he was hitting from 3 didn’t mean that he stopped penetrating and making them pay from the paint. Just goes to show there are many ways to build an elite offense.


I agree, seeing a midrange clinic being put on was great. It's a lot more exciting than spamming threes
