Around the NBA - playoff bubble continued

[Montmorencie]

I have never seen such a time as this Boston Celtics with so many floppers around.

mark jackson is the worst...

Just have to say it again. Jackson said EK's full name as Anus Kanter last night.

I'm sorry, but the only person I've given permission to do that is Walt Clyde Frazier

Plenty of time

You idiot. The Heat are cooked.

Bojangles Alert!

I don't see how you can put Zion on any Top 10 list until he shows up for work in shape.

Otherwise, he's just another Porzingis whose career will be hampered by injury. Different package, same scenario

Ones the Unicorn, the other’s the Rhino

Tatum is a superstar

Same level as Luka. Ppl will eventually hop on board

I rather have a team of nobodies, that play sufficating defense than a team defined by just 1 player. Ingram should think hard about resigning if he wants to always play in Zion's shadow.

As FA, an option he should allow himself is an interview with the Knicks. Really ponder making name for himself in a place like New York.
With Thibs and solid developmental coaching staff and with uncertainty with the FO/coaching staff in New Orleans, it's a good time to jump onboard.

We are?

Tell that to the team starting Gibson more than Mitch, who is far and away our best prospect.

Tell that to the team signing bench bums to play over our kids instead of getting assets.

We tried to win now & Mills failed miserably. He destroyed an unbelievable window then hurt the future to cover up for his failure. I’m fine not signing Butler, Kemba, whomever b/c I like the long game. But Mills doesn’t.

If you’re going to destroy what we had left to win now, then you better succeed.

If you didn't see the late 80's Knicks you probably would have enjoyed Rick Pitino's Bomb Squad which was probably the first three point dependent team in the NBA though for some reason that is never acknowledged. They ran full court presses all the time and made more turnovers than Mo's Bakery. For half a quarter at a time, they'd just press the crap out of a team and only occasionally would it backfire by getting burned by a full court outlet pass. When they did that, sometimes the other team couldn't even get the ball over the half court line without a time violation. But usually it ate almost ten seconds off the clock so the other team wouldn't have as much time to run their offensive sets. It was very entertaining.

They weren't nobodies though. Pitino had the first makings of the 80s Knicks with young Ewing and Cartwright in Pitino's first year before he was shipped out for Oakley the next year. With guys like Johnny Newman and Trent Tucker they became the bomb squad and shot a lot of threes and also pressed the chit out of other teams which I found very entertaining. Mark Jackson was also there. I liked him as a player though I loathe him as a broadcaster. Also interesting is Rick Carlisle and Billy Donovan were playing for the Knicks then too.

The second year Pitino had a pretty good roster. Strickland was drafted, Oak came in the trade, they had Patrick, Jackson/Strickland, Newman, Kiki, Tucker, Gerald Wilkins. they won the Atlantic and lost to the Bulls in the 2nd round. Pitino got in a fight with Bianchi over his offensive philosophy who wanted him to run more of a half court offense. So Rick resigned after two seasons which sucked, because he was the original Mike D'Antoni, but way better since he also had a defensive strategy too.

So you saying you wanted us to go hard after Kemba and JB after we struck out with KD and Kyrie? I really don't think there was any chance of JB coming to NY and Kemba was never coming here by himself.

I was at a Knicks-Sixers game in Philly during the peak of that era. At halftime, the score was 81-60, Knicks. The final score ended up in the 140s.

Nah, it was one of those really crappy late 70s teams. I think we played the Bulls and it was an afternoon game. MSG was maybe half full. Pretty much the anti-thesis of what you hope for when you go to a live game

[mpharris36]

i wish malone would have the same energy with yanking milsap for making a sucky play for when MPJ makes a defensive mistake and takes him out.
