I don't know man, I'm getting a Tyson Chandler vibe on him. And I kinda wish Noah will do good on the team but what I see on the court... man

It ain't even Thanksgiving yet, and Noah is getting the flu. You honestly can't make this sh*t up.

that's what this team always does...they get a good win and then embarrass themselves in the very next game

Portland has been playing like trash, if the Knicks are serious then they'll handle business at home

Definitely not a coincidence. When he plays with Noah he stays behind the 3 point line on both sides of the floor. Makes it harder to get boards

Also, if they're both going for a rebound, Porzingis tends to let him have them.

We're the ones causing a divide? Pretty sure we're not ones bashing melo in every thread saying to trade him and make porzingis the #1 option. That's dividing the team. Melo is balling right now and some of y'all just can't accept that. Y'all root for melo to have bad games instead of rooting for wins. Foh with that bs

They rather have Porzingis around a bunch of losers the majority of his early NBA career like Anthony Davis had/has around him, so in a few years Porzingis will be ready to sign elsewhere.

Exactly

That would be a neat trick considering we already lost at home.

KP has to let him have them. Because otherwise the box score looks like Noah did nothing out there.

Melo i see you

Both O'Quinn and Willy were huge. O'Quinn was more disciplined and wasn't doing boneheaded sh*t out there and Willy is becoming more seasoned as time passes.

KOQ has been locked in pretty much all year

Noah had the best game of his Knick career by far.

I don't know if it's that KP is so tall, but on my screen, Willy doesn't look much bigger than a guy like Scola.

willy is a strong dude. He's like 6'11 and 255 pounds with very little fat. He's built like a tank in his upper body and lower body. His calves look bigger now than they were in this picture.

I think when we start using him as a scoring option he will be even more successful. He can straight bully people like Melo and he has those spin moves and change of direction cuts against guys that are just as big as him and want to front him.

They're a completely different squad on the road.

Kyle was key early on, and Willy became a man today.

Anthony brought his A game, and put them over the top - despite a subpar performance by KP on offense. KP's numbers were OK, but he wasn't shooting well certainly in the first half, and from long range.

Hopefully they can keep the run going on Tuesday night, and hit .500 - and start their climb up from there.

There's a lot to build on with this group.

WillieB is showing bit by bit that he can hang against all sorts and types of NBA centers, and be effective against them.

Whats gonna help the Knicks progress as an organization is building a winning culture and drafting well. Players like Willy are a testament to that.

We only think of success in extremes yet teams like the Warriors were built through seasons of playoff performances, good drafting (Klay was 11th overall, and Draymond was 35), and establishing a system.

Pretty much what you said in a nutshell.

They are not rooting for bad games from Melo so we can tank. They are just sincerely hoping for his failure as form of validation for their agenda.

You either die a hero or live long enough to be the villain.

They can dish it but can't take it when they are proven completely wrong.

ctorres · Post #158 » by **ctorres** » Sun Nov 20, 2016 8:32 pm

Another thing worth noting...

This season, Melo's 2pt% and efg% are by far the highest they have ever been in his career. He's well above 50% on both. Melo is not taking the same volume of shots as DeRozan, but Melo is shooting a higher percentage than DeRozan in both categories.

Thank you.
We must stay the course.

We are a .500 team this year. 1st rd playoffs ( if we catch a team like ATL slipping we can get to the 2nd)

You're right and it's mainly because every possession no matter the outcome they post something negative about it

Make or miss it's a bad shot
If he catches and shoots he should do that more often instead of ISO
If he ISOs and scores he held the ball too long
If he ISOs and misses he's washed
If he battles for missed lay ups he's fat and sucks even if he gets fouled
If he plays good defense it goes unnoticed
When he makes the extra pass it goes unnoticed

Just aggravating. Sometimes he should be called out like today he had some possessions I didn't like but not everything needs a reaction.
