We get it.

There's posters with opinions on RJ and there's posters with opinions on Randle, Frank, the pope, Santa Claus, etc...

It has nothing to do with how the Knicks just walked down the Bucks.

Take it to the fight thread.

I was 100 with you until you started complementing meLo, but it hits on the point of that we all have bad takes from time to time.

Me 10 years ago... i don't even know that guy.
And now I have to answer for the dumb sht he said about past knicks players? Pls, someone come get your man. I shouldn't suffer the consequences of his dumb brash takes.

And game/postgame thread takes should be completely off limits. Riding on the highs and lows of Knicks games is bad for anyone's brains. Have some damn mercy. We deserve a lil grace in life.


i do. he was somewhere gathered around a bong with white women with armpit hair trying to hacky a sack.


Rude, but fair.

But yet you’re posting sht about Obi. So you should take that to the fight thread too, no?

I honestly don’t see the appeal of that fight thread. Those players aren’t in orange n blue anymore so idgaf about any of them. Plenty of hate and fight to be had with the current team n coaching staff :D

He's right though, fans have been complaining about minutes since Ron Baker was on the bench with Hornacek, and Ramon Sessions over Frank. Morris over Knox with Fizdale... I guess all coaches do this


It's always been like this and not uncommon among most fan bases. But the fans who complain about minutes or the rookie or 10th-12th guy not playing are usually the fans who troll and we see and read them here every day unfortunately.

Facts. You and a couple others I fw even tho we disagree on sht cause you’re respectful and always keep it at hoops. Some of them take it mad personal when we diss they favorites like Frank and RJ and start going crazy with insults. Then they play victim :lol:

Little did he know, OG and Mikal have also been the Knicks best offensive players lately, not just KAT

So it's very much a "pick your poison" scenario with these guys

I know for a fact i have some bullcht post floating around here saying I'm glad we drafted rj over ja and its haunts me :lol:

I knew a few months later that that I was dead wrong about that one.

To the point though, people just have a hard time admitting they're wrong. Me, I'm built different. I dont even know when I'm right I'm wrong so much.

Yep. I missed badly on DSJ/wiseman and i laugh about it. Other people get real mad when you bring up they misses tho. Weird af

:lol: Damn you’re a genius. You go back 10 years when I was barely 30 picking between two former players who’ve never coached a day in their life before. Even Kerr co-signed that prediction saying recently he would’ve been fired within 2 years, just like Fisher. I went with Fisher because he at least had something on his resume relevant to the job (managing personalities) as president of the players union back then. All we knew about Kerr was that he was a failed GM. It was a losing situation for anyone really with Phil n the triangle. You should know that the way you went to bat for Hornacek back then….

[url=https://[/img]https://[/img[/url]




You even called 2017 a tank season :lol:



Regarding Ron Baker tho, weren’t you on that wagon too? See the above quote of you wanting to watch Baker play ahead of Rose and Jennings :lol:

[url=https://[/img]https://[/img[/url]


If you wanna dig for receipts, everyone has a dirty past…I mean look at these other takes…

[url=h[/img]h[/img[/url]
[[/img][/url]


Glass houses bra….

Also, KAT, Hart, and OG are playing well sure, but if you’ve ever played the game you know injuries like these have lingering effects… they don’t just magically disappear just because they don’t complain or show it day in and out.

And idgaf if Derrick Rose said that. He’s a player and his words in this context don’t carry much weight. Nobody on the outside looking in thought that. Except you I guess

You had to dig up jokes in game threads- ok. Hornacek almost got us to the playoffs with KP and some mid/washed/bad players. not sure what else he was supposed to do; scheme Kanter and Jarret Jack to a championship?

The point is a team that starts Rose, Melo, Lee and Noah is not tanking. We will complain about the minutes with next coach after Thibs as we have always done.



Then why did you proceed to call 2016-2017 a tank season in the first pic/quote?

The Knicks were 20-27 at that point and looked terrible. It was over by then its safe to vent at a time like that. Its baffling to me that we went through all those dark sports days and we finally get a good coach and fans want to risk going back to those times again because the 5th string pg only got 17 minutes in a win. People are saying to literally get any coach. wild

Those were trash tanking teams that’s why. How do you not know the difference? This is a playoff team where the coach is running the starters into the dirt causing injuries before the playoffs… again. This is a false equivalency. Par for the course for Thibs stans


I will admit the trolls do make me laugh at times! Already read the same trolls now saying Giannis sucks. : :roll:

Funny that you complain about minutes yet have a Spree avatar. :lol: :lol:

This season has been one of the most boring seasons in recent knick history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s hard for me to even finish watching games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can’t beat any good/healthy teams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are the Grizzlies east!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I respect the Grizzlies for doing what needed to be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We would never do what they did because we are soooooooooo deeply rooted in nepotism that it’s too far gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which makes this situation even more disheartening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive missed on both sides. I was so confident that Hali was going to be trash with his ugly @ss shot and weak handle. Pisses me off that I was wrong about that one. That boy is nice and plays for a team I hate. And nodope an Chanel are right which makes it even worse. Sucks when people I like are right and I'm wrong.

You know people don’t want him gone solely because he didn’t start Kolek. I didn’t mind Delon starting, I like him, but people complaining about it were just venting. There’s a laundry list of reasons people really want him fired for.

I think people just want a coach who’s at least going to be willing to try to experiment to see what works and give the starters rest while simultaneously seeing what the rookies got to offer since the bench is already weak. That’s really not a lot to ask. It seems like most coaches in the league try different things throughout the season… Thibs doesn’t and it’s frustrating.
