Chanel bomber, thats why we had a nice conversation going. But enjoy your rage if it makes you feel better


Yes it does, especially since we settled the "now vs what Donic might be in X years thing" about 20 posts ago.

Isn't there a general board you can go discuss this mess with?

Knicks might have struck some luck being so bad and being one of the "Delete 8" as they got a chance to get the coach they want, as there sure have been a lot of coach firings, so there is a lot of demand for new coaches.

Obviously, the converse is that there are some more choices now the Knicks won't get a shot at.


Thibs would still have been the best coach out of all of them.


I think so. Maybe Donovan. But it's not like WWW has a crystal ball, for all his "inside info"

This Nuggets team is just different man. Picked this series to go 7 because they’re awfully unpredictable yet weirdly resilient.

With Joker they have that special player to beat the Clippers in game 7. He always shows up. But as does Kawhi.

I hope the Nuggets do beat the Clips and upset the Lakers in the next round because homegrown teams > fabricated superteams with folks forcing trades.


I’ll never understand the AD hatred from you :lol:

That man is finally going to get the respect he deserves. If he wins one, they’ll start talking top 10 big man of all time.

I know I go over the top with my love for AD :lol: but that guy is truly one of the best players I’ve ever seen.

AD plays defense and is already in the WCF. Jokic is the 2nd or third best big in the league and there’s nothing wrong with that.


AD = soft. Jokic = clutch. No discussion here.

Yeah he's soft like these other players on this list.
Read on Twitter


AD in the playoffs: 27.6 PPG 10.9 Rebounds 4.9 assists 1.5 blocks. 1.1 steals with ELITE defense.
Jokic in the playoffs: 25.4 PPG 9.6 rebounds 5.3 assists 0.8 blocks 0.6 steals with piss poor defense.

So the only thing Jokic has on him is assists which is by 0.4. Yeah you're right. This is no discussion. :lol:


LFMAO, swap Joker and AD and Denver are 10th seed where AD usually ends up without LeBron and Lakers are 74-8 and between the best teams in history.

Sad times for the Knicks. Kings are looking to hire someone from the Nuggets FO, so not only will the Knicks be able to dump Resting B*tch Face GM upon them, the Kings will have competent management and will remove one of the few teams from the league with worse management than the Knicks and any advantage that might confer.

I guess there is always Detroit or Charlotte...

Might be a 3 way tie for worst run 3 teams. Is Cleveland of the last few years in the mix?

Obviously Knicks are being judged on past performance. The new management is unknown, ability wise, ultimately. Except Dolan, who everyone knows sucks, but is theoretically "less involved" whatever that means.

When you compare the Knicks to well-run companies like this bus manufacturer you know we have a big mountain to climb

But at least I don't think Rose is going to condone any more of these kinds of office hi-jinks

Imma put Wolves there in the mix as well. Unlike Knicks, Pistons and Hornets they got some talent and honestly, with Jimmy there I thought they could even compete. :crazy:

He's a second-option in LA. He has the biggest security blanket ever sewn by man.

I'll give him the best second-option crown over McHale, Klay and Pippen if he wins the chip. Or second-best second option behind Frobe. Something like that.

You should be thankful, riding LeBron's coattails is better than finishing 10th in the West with NO while Jokic carries a damn hospital to the 2nd or 3rd seed.

Yeah, I think AD is the better fit next to LeBron, but Jokic is the better player to build an offense around

You still could build a really good team around AD though. The couple years him and Jrue were fully healthy and they had a third guy, they did make the playoffs and played well.

Maybe Porter is actually a genius and his comments the other day got the team to fall in line.
