PG: Lethal Weapon

[MrDollarBills]

Case in point.

Spoiler:

Imagine being 40 years old and picking up your girlfriend from school.

That's called being a sexual predator. Seinfeld has always been a lame ass dude to me anyway and he probably owes Larry David more for his success than anything else.

Who has been training OG and teaching him these new moves? Crossing over guys with ease now.

Burner hits another clutch 3 but don't be surprised when he doesn't win Clutch player of the year

KAT gets fouled every **** time he drives and never gets called! Hope Thibs is sending those tapes to Silver

I like this 9 rotation but Shammy needs to hit his shots or else I'd go with Wright but I do think Thibs will go 8 deep in the playoffs

50 wins second straight season is something to be really proud about. Haven't done that since FrozenEnvelope was talking **** to bangwagon Bulls fans in middle school Sad that some of you will be unhappy cause Kolek didn't play smh funny how some who admitted to rooting for losses now wanna act happy

Booker has the most aesthetically pleasing game to watch in the league. No fail baiting, all pure skill. OG is the best defender in the league and Booker was giving him the business. Just a great player! **** KD! Can we get Booker instead?

No we can't. He said he wanted to firmly remain with the Suns and the Suns promised to try to rebuild on the fly with him as their core piece. I'm also feeling that with JB here we will need 4 strong defenders in the line-up. If we were to do a major trade I would trade KAT for a 2-way PF, start Mitch and bring Hart off the bench.

I would trade KAT for Giannis absolutely but I do not feel comfortable with Mitch as the starting C. We'd need to also grab Brook Lopez in the process

That's some elite coaching by Thibs!

(I'm trusting Spree2Houston's numbers, I was too lazy to do them myself.)

Quite interesting that even setting aside the 0-8 against the top 3 teams, the Knicks are still just 8-14 against the rest of the over .500 teams.

Stat is a bit misleading, who counts as above .500? The Magic are currently 38-40, yet they were 15-8, 17-11 and 19-14 during 3 of those wins.

Thibs doesn't run the most inventive half court offense. People might think the offense looked good with Wright, but I saw a LOT of stagnation in half court sets. They were fine when they got out and had the defense off balance. Thibs needs a PG who can create/score a bit more, so Wright isn't going to play over Cam, because Cam hits 3s but can also pressure the rim, which Wright doesn't really do.

Thibs also likes PG's with size and that can defend......which Can doesn't really have/do. Wright can score ...without droughts and bad shot selection.. Team Wright 100%!

I don't think Cam's defense is that bad. I just like what I saw from Wright and it sucks he couldn't get more of an opportunity

It's not, but Delon's is significantly better.

[MrDollarBills]

Leonardo DiCaprio approves.

I don't understand guys in their 30s and 40s wanting to mess with girls in their early 20s. Like physical attraction aside, what on earth do you have in common? It's like talking to a child. It's weird. And I'm not saying that disparage young women of that age, it's just the truth. A college age woman and a grown man have nothing in common.

Lee is a pretty young woman for sure, but she looks like a little girl to me. Gives me the ick

You talking about smashing or dating? Cuz you know if she came on to you, you ain’t turning that shyt down lol. Don’t even try bro.

But dating? Yeah, while I agree that it’d be weird for me personally, I can’t judge others for their personal preferences. Guess there’s still a lot people can bond over despite growing up in different eras.

I'm dead serious. She'd be off limits to me.

Like I'm not gonna lie, she's an attractive young woman, and i hope OG got her number yesterday because baddies give him super powers, clearly.

But for me, again, i'm old enough to be literally her father. At my age, she still looks like a kid and that's not something I'd entertain at this point in my life. I gotta code Nah. She looks like she graduated high school 4 years ago. She's for the young boys like OG. I like women in their 30s and 40s.

For perspective, my god daughter is a year younger than her and she's the same age as two of my friends' daughters who are in college right now. If a man my age was trying to f*ck them, it would be a serious issue.

Right. I'd use Delon in situational match ups, like say versus Boston I'd have him on Pritchard.

IMO Delon is clearly the better option than Cam. Much better defense and size and nothing erratic. Even if he doesn't hit his shots he could still be very disruptive on defense.

Concerning the thread title: Does anyone have an idea why OG is so much quicker and more explosive lately? It seems like he has gone in the quickness, explosiveness department from 6/10 to like 8/10. Sometimes I seem him slash and am surprised how fluid and quick he is nowadays...

Baddies in the audience has refined his game Anne Hathaway woke something up in him (now there's a woman i wouldn't turn down. Ever.).

Nah. I think it's a combination of being allowed to get the ball and attack instead of watching Brunson and KAT iso, and a clear improvement in his handle and body control, using his strength and size to overpower wings.

He's also a lot more decisive with the ball, and his confidence is through the roof.

Me personally I'd like to see Karl shooting more threes per night and let OG be an attacker inside the arc with Brunson.

[K_ick_God]

Maybe what’s happening is simple — OG grabbing second spot and then stuff falls into place. MB comfortable and Karl sort of plays at same speed no matter but this crowds out the forces from him too. No offense in the NBA that is really, really good will have unclear pecking order.

[LFGK]

Do you think if this season ends with the team getting humiliated in round 2 by Boston, Tom's job is safe? He's been outcoached by Mazzula and Atkinson badly this season. As much as we point out how Mikal has been trash against good competition, we can't ignore the fact that Tom looks completely lost when coaching against teams that play modern ball

in how many of those games was the team whole?

The Knicks have been one of the healthiest teams in the league. Not having Mitch shouldn't result in near 30 point blowouts. This team should never be beaten as badly as we have. They looked unprepared and clueless in the last several meetings with our direct competition

I mean it's easy to just dismiss Mitch not playing but it's pretty obvious to see what he brings when he's playing. These games bs clev and Boston aren't end all do all
For me, come playoff time we will have a healthy squad and a fighters chance. I feel like people would rather us get demolished and lose just to say they're rite rsther the. Find a way to beat whoever we playe in the second round.

Speed seems the same to me. Can chalk it up to better reaction times.

Not challenging your point about modern teams but did the Chauncey Detroit pistons have a clear order? I ask because I think this team can be a suped up version of that team

Yo I got receipts!

Back to back 50 win seasons. 50-28 overall

Here's a breakdown of our record

42-6 vs Teams with losing records
8-22 vs Teams with winning records

84% of our wins have come vs losing teams
16% of our wins have come vs winning teams

Unfortunately in the playoffs we play winning teams

But nonetheless, BEST MID TEAM IN THE NBA!!!

Tom gets exposed literally every time we play someone with above average coaching. I'm still stunned we beat Denver.

Team is 50-20 vs the other 26 teams in the god damn league so he's got 50 wins vs bad coaching and 20
Times he's been out coached? I don't get the coach hate man.....

I think part of it is he's been consistently healthy. He's rarely had a chance to build up to something and sustain it.

I am holding out hope that things click at the right time for this team but I just have lost faith in Tom this season.

With this group, we should always have a punchers chance, which is why the previous blow outs against BOS/CLE are alarming. There is too much talent on the floor to be getting beaten that badly.

8 wins versus winning teams is an alarming stat for a team that has the talent to be a legit contender.

Rip on those mid range jumpers coming off the curl screen was one of their primary weapons, but from what I remember, their attack was pretty balanced. Billups, Prince, Sheed all could step up to hit the deep ball too.

[RHODEY]

Right. I'd use Delon in situational match ups, like say versus Boston I'd have him on Pritchard.

IMO Delon is clearly the better option than Cam. Much better defense and size and nothing erratic. Even if he doesn't hit his shots he could still be very disruptive on defense.

The thing is he is hitting his shots, and I agree Delon is better overall, I think if anything Cam could be used situationally.

They were definitely an outlier squad where everyone had impeccably defined roles and complementary skill sets.

Ben Wallace was one of the best defensive players ever, too.

Maybe we’re more like today’s Celtics in terms of sharing roles / responsibilities / who the hot hand is?
