Clueless!

Knox is killing these dudes, I'm excited for him he's got a chance to have a nice soph season. Probably will be our best shooter this year

Speaking of being in midseason form, your negativity is there too.

Bro this is why you shouldn't make fun of injuries my dude

You stayed clowning Irving and Rose and all them dudes you didn't want the Knicks to have at PG but you see how it works? It aint cool man

What are you talking about? You know the main reason I didn't want Kyrie is because of DSJ and his upside. That's not a secret. And I ain't ever clown D-Rose for his injuries. I didn't like Rose on the Knicks because he didn't pass the ball or play D. I've even defended Rose when he bounced back this year...

Cmon man who you kidding melo?

Not negative. I'm hoping they actually play well and compete for a playoff spot but it's hard to see it working out with this unit

Bro the only injury thing related I posted about Kyrie was that pic that showed he had mad injuries, but that wasn't the main reason why I didn't want him. It was one of them though.

And you def have me mixed up with someone else about Rose. I wanted dude to win 6MOY this last season. I don't hate him like how some people here do.

Injuries are a real thing and unpredictable. I don't laugh at someone for getting injured man. When Gordon Hayward broke his leg it was hard watching the rest of the game. And I hate the Celtics. Injuries blow.

It's the same as why harden is so unguardable - it's tough to guard anyone who is OPENLY allowed to take 4-5 steps after they pick up their dribble

Good God, that was ugly and hurt my brain. How bad that travel was

I always try to emphasize this. Whenever somebody brings up a player as being injury prone just because they don't play a full season I look at the very little number of players that are able to do that consistently because for the majority of the league injuries happen quite often. It's all about severity of them but some think all injuries are the same.

As far as DSJ, I think because his addiction to dunking does play a role in the back. He should probably look to tone it down and spend more energy working on his in between game and outside game and stuff that doesn't put as much stress on his back. Hopefully we have guys around him that can kind of help guide him that way so he can at least avoid preventable injuries, which this might be. It might not be but it just feels like it could be.

How is that a travel? His dribble is still live as he takes a step back and then gathers and shoots. It's as clean as it gets. Nowhere near a travel

According to Fiz, DSJ has been dominating the 5 on 5's in training camp

Yeah that’s not a travel at all or even close.

nope it was a gather step see the new rule book you're allowed to do that now

He's had a great camp. He's really had a great camp. He's had a couple of days where he literally took over and dominated 5 on 5. The biggest thing I've been happy with him is the way he's finding people and making other players better and defending.

Sounds like Frank and Payton having a hard time guarding him in practice. AHA...shots fired

I can definitely see DSJ playing very good in camp.

But considering the fact that Fiz is saying it, it's very difficult to believe lol.... Fiz loves to talk

I wasn’t able to watch the live scrimmage but I love how much hostility there is in the thread. Most of y’all are in mid season form and I love it.

Also how’d RJ look? I saw him hit a three and that’s it.

He looked like a certified bust, we should trade him to the wizards for beal

Damn, I don't check in for one day and y'all leave me 21 pages to read.

And me, like a dope, I read all of them. Good thing I didn't have anything important to do.

Stoked for Monday, leggooo.
