Bring in KP to bail out Luka’s poor play.

Why is LaMelo Ball starting?

He was playing so well off the bench, they should've kept him there

After all, that's how you develop players, I've been told.

Shaedon Sharpe/Cedric Coward

It was obvious. We missed another generational talent. Simple as

“is he better than Luka” conversation coming soon

I hope we are wrong. I’m not enjoying the team Bc of the unfair rotations and prioritizing 1 year vets.

Kenny Atkinson did more w/ D'Lo and lesser players than what Minny has now


Not just that it’s pretty clear they don’t want to lose that pick to the warriors. They suck and they don’t care they suck

Don't worry. Knicks picking in that 10-15 range.

Oh look, looks like the Mavs are about to win again too.

In typical fashion, he’s on one of those hot streaks now. His last 3 games going in were pretty good. The inconsistency always prevented him from being a legit #1. The question we’ll get an answer to is if it’s too sporadic to be a legit #2

forget that, how did they do it ? once roles are defined in training camp they can't be changed. everybody knows that.

Who could have forgotten that Jeremy never started for us during all of Linsanity. Crazy he did all 7 games off the bench.

I'm reporting this straight to Silver

Completely violating league rules. Also obvious tank move, as we all know the only reason to ever start a young guy over a vet is to lose games, no rookie has ever been better than a vet.

The hornets are everything I wanted the Knicks to be.

Lead by the young guys(Lamelo,miles bridges etc) and a nice mixture of vets(rosier,Hayward,seller).

It’s **** infuriating watching other teams continue to build the right way while we just continue to **** up!!!!!!

ITS **** INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep I heard some of their own fans say they think they are tanking the season.

They should...... they have a lot of young pieces it makes sense to add more through the draft.... they can even package some for a better long term piece.

:nonono: I wish I could explain that to more people here in language they understood.
