I didn't watch the game I was in class but I followed it on gamecast? Was there ANYTHING good to come from this game? I kept seeing JR and Timmy chucking up threes from all over the place especially JR the idiot brushing off Melo on the last play. I'm so sick of this guy. Does this Negative IQ player carry any trade value? I feel like I say this almost every game, I don't care how but JR Smith has to go ASAP. Any good is grossly outweighed by bad with his stupid play. I absolutely HATE JR Smith with a passion.....
Make the Knicks great again!

These m'fers don't even set solid off-ball screens, they're basically slipping them sh*ts to get themselves into position every time, instead of making a real attempt to get the their teammate the open look coming off of it.

This sh*t is annoying.


Perfect example on that final "play". Melo had PERFECT opportunity to pick Fournier off and give J.R. a great open looking coming to the ball. But since he knows the play is designed for him, he didn't even attempt to brush Fournier off, because he was trying to get himself into position vs Aaron Gordon.

These m'fers we rely on are pretty much playing for themselves at this point.

This sh*t is annoying.

Mike Woodson?

Melo kept us in it, hit the three to put us down 1, and when he was pulled Orlando scored 7 straight he had to make up for. He should've got that last look and JR should've passed it.

They didn't look half bad in the triangle for stretches. It's actually pretty interesting to watch after I learned the different options in the triangle while playing 2K15.

Bottom line is that we just need better all-around players. Acy, Dalembert, Smith, Larkin and Hardaway are bench players. Shumpert is a 5th option on a championship team. We see Amare yam it down and JR hit stepback jumpers, but all it does is trick us into thinking they're good or have potential, when in reality, they're scrubs.

If he hit the free throw a minute earlier, the 3 pointer would have tied it, and we wouldn't have to foul them to put them on the line.

Karl Town's is a versatile big who has some range and looks like a good finisher around the basket and can run the floor. Can't go wrong with either big. Mudiay a 6'6 pg would be nice also.

With Melo, Shump and 2015 draft pick we have 3 starters on a championship team!!

Now lets get the other two via FA and/or Trades and we'll be set for good!!

Since joining the Knicks he's a 83% free throw shooter. He shot 83% from the line today. I think everyone outside of him, Dalembert, and at time Shump and JR being ass is a bigger issue especially when he still gave us a shot to win it on the last possession after his screw up.

Is Calderon gonna change anything? His shooting could open up lanes right? Maybe they can actually attack the rim more and not get destroyed in FT attempts every game. I dunno, I'm just sick of losing for the last 15 years.
Make the Knicks great again!

I would assume that's the plan. 2 major FAs, or 1 major FA plus 2 good role players, and our draft pick.

Karl Towns is a better triangle fit and prospect to me. 7-0, 250, from Jersey. He was ranked as third in the 2014 draft class before reclassifying. Good shooter, great passer, good rebounder, great leaper with a running start. Weak inside on both ends but still gaining weight (went from 235 to 250 in a year and a half). Reminds me of a taller Al Horford.

Muiday is a 6-5 PG. His dad is 6-10 and his older brother is 6-8 so he might not be done. He was close to playing at SMU under Larry Brown (I wanted it to happen) but he went to China instead. Outplayed Stephen in his first game and just posted a 22/11/13 triple double his last game. He's averaging 19/7/7 in 5 games so far this season.
