Good. Why in the world would you want to give a team a potential scouting report on the plays you are working on?


LMAO, that's overkill. You think they are never going to run the actual plays in preseason either? Teams are going to get material to scout regardless.

So if we only use 10% of our brain and to realize we only use 10% of our brain means someone has to use 11% of their brain, that means if we realize that someone realizes we use only 10% of our brain but uses 11% to realize it we have to use 12% of our brain to realize that.... and then 13% to realize that...... then 14% to realize that..... then 15% to realize that.....all the way up to infinite enlightenment....I think I blew Beasley's mind just by me realizing this....no, not my mind....his mind!

And I hope he gets it. For a late first after someone on a contender gets injured.

I like Lee, if we weren't rebuilding no way I want to see him go.

So let those teams get the material to scout at the appropriate time then. Not now. Please don't tell me you think teams should show entire practices.

love hearing courtney lee in this. this is the leadership the knicks needed. i hope he truly does. he and noah need to step the **** up and help keep this young core in line. no more disrespecting the coach's decisions. no more laziness on defense. no more defying the plays being called. time to play some **** defense.

for the first time in years, i see the knicks sneaking into the PO this year.


we retained kurt rambis, signed michael beasley, traded for kanter and mcdermott, yet you believe we have the chance to be better defensively? sneak into the playoffs?

Image

:crazy:


Yup. Team basketball > last 7 years. Only playoff year for knicks was when they played team basketball.

Very weak east. Weaker than past.

Got rid of two worst defenders in rose and melo.

So yes. Do you have venmo? I'll put down $20 that they will at least do better than last year, record wise. And $10 that they make playoffs.

Easiest **** $30 I'd ever make against a dolt.

It’s like I’ve been saying for a year. Don’t be surprised if we’re a better team after we trade Carmelo.

Could be better, doesn't mean the defense will be.

I could see the Knicks being somewhere in that race for 8th

Cleveland
Washington
Toronto
Boston

Those are the only real locks for the playoffs

Atlanta got worse
Indiana got worse
Chicago got worse

Which leaves

Milwaukee
Miami
Detroit
Charlotte
New York
Orlando
Philly
Brooklyn

The most likely scenario is that the Knicks win about 35 games and finish 9th


34 to get in. Knicks have a chance finally

You’re right it doesn’t. But I wouldn’t rule it out automatically. Everything changes now. Better offensive flow. Everyone gets involved. And there’s no longer that single person everyone, including the coach, feels they’re below in clout. So I feel there’s going to be more willingness on the defense. They may not be naturals. But I suspect they’re going to try much harder. At this point I’ll take that.

I have the Bucks, Miami, and Charlotte as definite locks with Detroit as a likely lock. I think Philly is going to be around 35-40 wins (If Embiid plays 40-50 games) and I think Orlando will be better because of continuity with Vogel / being defensive first. I have us definitely below the Bucks, Miami, Charlotte and Philly (barring another health problem) and likely below Orlando.

Chicago is trash and might win 10 games, I think the Nets will actually be around 30-33 wins as well (played better with Lin, so he just needs to stay healthy), and Indiana is also trash (20 wins?). As for Atlanta, honestly, no idea. Not much talent on that team, but I trust in Budenholzer.

Winning season? No. But better than last year. I think, with how weak east is, they'll make the playoffs somehow. Barring injuries to the main guys.

Babadook is the best I've seen in years
