KP burning up them nets at 5-13.

KP burning up them nets at 5-13.

Just watched half a quarter. He has a limited repertoire of moves. Plus he's bricking like crazy. He doesn't look like a star in this game.

Very notably, Carlisle staggered him and Luka much more. KP’s slot went to Kleber including to end the game.

I know you guys like to troll. But this is boring.

KP went out of the game with 5 minutes left because it's an easy win against a OKC-team without CP when they are up 13 and there's a back to back tomorrow. (He played to there, Luka came in at the same(ish) time.) Luka had *yet another* poor Q4. He doesn't know how to play down the stretch yet. That's fine. He just needs reps. Same as KP.

Where are you guys going with this? Are you trying to "believe" in the Pills FO? Or just want to hate on KP specifically because (FO spin) "he wanted out"? Or You just have focused on a tiny obsession and can enjoy compensating for the sad state of the Knicks by making dumb comments on a player on another team? I genuinely don't get what you are doing. It seems beyond stupid.

Otoh, if it really turns you on to do it, then feel free to express yourselves this way.

Derozan choked. Shouldn't have had the chance to begin with though.

Wolves need new coaching. That was some horrible transition defense in crunch time.

Ha. Mr. Tables & Data ignoring that Carlisle shifted the rotations and minutes to split up KP and Luka. You accuse of trolling but you’re ignoring reality my fiend, which is totally antithetical to the idea of an empirical approach.

Luka finished the first half with Kleber too, not KP, Mr. T&D. Had NOTHING to do with the lead.

Ridiculous! But maybe once tables are activated your computer will reboot.

The whole day on the Knicks forum has been pretty discouraging. IMO (ldo). Again, KG, you never addressed why you keep posting about KP. I'm close to done on this site, tbh. So gg, wp.

KP played 26

Luka 35

They only shared 14 minutes together. 53% of KP’s time and only 40% of Luka’s time shared.

Two guys who were supposed to be their 1 and 2 and Carlisle likes Kleber with him instead, which is a good move.

But had nothing to do with the score and yeah, says something about the indicators on KP so far. They ain’t stellar.

Why wouldn’t you sit him when you’re up double digits and have a game tmrw?

I just want to know the logic against doing that. Kleber and Luka are great together so I get that part.

Btw the numbers with KP are solid so that’s not it.

Maybe there could possibly be a strategy where you have your two best players not playing together most of the time ... so that the team always has one "star" on the floor at least. Is that even possible?.gif

And you still don't answer as to why you are obsessed with KP.

I'd be here like this if Courtney was getting playing time and you remorsely-posted negatively about him.

What is your problem?

Could you not say same about Luka?

He subbed Luka for KP twice.

Has he given up on KP and Luka? No.

Is he bowing to reality at the moment? Yes.

Was it an intentional attempt to see how KP does without Luka and because Kleber is doing well with Luka? Yes.

Not hard to understand or explain. Simple. Yet some people are naysayers and want to carp.

If KP breaks out, I’ll be honest. He did some good stuff tonight but removing him from court time with Luka is a sort of, possibly temporary, demotion.

Simple.

it's natural that are a certain percentage of knicks fans will be invested in kp doing bad because it reinforces the belief that the organization made the right decision by trading him, and another group, who got very attached to him, will defend him at all costs and take out their frustration instead on the knicks front office who traded him away. as long as you're self aware about where you land and why, it's fine. some of you aren't.

the reality is that most impartial nba analysts don't think he's living up to his max deal currently. he might yet but he's not right now. some will say you need an extra year after you recover from that injury to get back to form. but kp took the extra year off the court. this is 2 years later. he's still a good player, but he might not ever be great.
