Especially the Mavs.

Onward!

Nassir Little is like Blazer Frank. Every time he has a bit of a breakout he gets hurt.

The clear path question - it might be b/c Joe Harris was ahead of Harden on the defensive end when Harden made the foul

Gary Trent
26pts
3rebs
3asts
2stls

7-9 from three

22 years old, he better be at the top of our list this summer.

yes but PG was ahead of both of them. Isn't the point if the pass is thrown and the guy receiving the pass is in front of the entire defense it is a clear path.

I would understand if the pass wasn't released...but it was.

Myles Turner is early candidate for DPOY. That kid is really good on both ends of the floor

when the foul happened joe harris was in front of it. where pg is doesn't matter because there was a net in front of the ball.

We can make up for it and get him, make it prohibitively expensive for the Blazers to match for a backup.

I'm game. He'd be a perfect fit at the 2

I support Toppin, but I spent 10 minutes watching this

Watch on YouTube

now I deeply understand why the Knicks will never see any kind of championship.

It's bonehead moves passing up on a professional basketball technician who's an underrated athlete, has insane agility and balance and underrated strength. I was going to make a thread about this but, I'll save it here.

Passing up on Ty will haunt us like how we passed up on Donovan Mitchell over Frank.

I think Toppin will be a good player. But I see him having Aaron Gordon level impact. Great dunker, can play the forward position and stretch, but isn't a master of anything. I do hope Toppin can surpass Gordon who has had lackluster FG% and to me isn't physical to the expectation you have for someone who is so athletic. I want Toppin to be a guy who can get to the FT line at will, and at 220lbs, he may need to add mass to compete with the best.

Tyrese isn't brolic by any means, but at his position and his wiry strength, I've seen him absorb contact well and make contested shots. Great defensive awareness, has great feet, timing, stop and go, basically all the tricks you can think of, a lot of flash to his game....it's like Tyrese would was made to steal the show in NY, make the Nets look like has been and give us 15 years of all star basketball. I think LaMelo is rookie of the year but I would not protest at all if Ty wins it. Kings look competitive every game and Ty is emerging as a leader for that team that they needed for years. DeMarcus Cousins was not one, and Fox/Haliburton in the backcourt is one of the best young foundations in the NBA. Fox is a great defender and tbh, I was imaging what the hype would be like if we had both Haliburton and Quickley in the backcourt. The impact would mirror Fox/Haliburton which would answer the Knicks biggest problem, backcourt issues. Thank god we got Quickley and I'm sure people will say "Hey if we drafted Haliburton at 8, we wouldn't have drafted Quickley". I don't know. In this era of the NBA, you need guards. Just fantasy thinking, I'll stop.

TEAM TOPPIN ALL THE WAY.


just hate how good Tyrese is.

The Nets will win the chip.

They will cut through the East like carving a cake.

Only the Lakers and Clippers can hope to match them, and I don't think they'll have the firepower to keep up offensively.

It's fitting that this team of narcissists win the chip in a pandemic year with no fans, but they will be dominant for the next 2-3 years.

Let's hope we can draft an exciting prospect like Cade or Suggs to make up for it. They'll be insufferable.

Let that fake manufactured team enjoy that ring (or rings) . It wont help their respective legacy's at all. Knicks still rule NYC.

Dang the grizzlies need to step it up

The Sixers might be able to give them a challenge, you can't start Jeff Green at center and expect to hold Embiid under 40, think that they can turn it into a rock fight vs the Nets and just kill them with extra possessions.

Imagine a coach who plays guys like Thibs minutes but defends like like D’antoni with rotations of Scott Brooks.

Welcome to Steve Nash.

I’m honestly disappointed in him as a coach and basketball mind. Even before the trade. Kenny had bias towards Dinwiddie vs Russell and it was borderline unprofessional but Nash is something else, tbh. He coaches like a 2K video game.

I’m not going to lie, I do wish we went with Thibs over Nash thus far tbh until further evidence. You guys are onto something with him and IQ.

Thibs woulda been gone after a month

It’s a give and take thing with ya squad.

You were able to get Kyrie & Durant...but at the cost that they have complete input on who they play for and what the vibe is at the organization.

Whatever the culture was with the Nets, died as soon as Kyrie/Durant landed honestly.

I wish I could short Doncic stocks, all these hot takes recycling stuff that has been known for years now.
