I just want us to play 10 games so I can overact to an area of need on the team and dream of trade scenarios to fix us.

LOL sorry but had to laugh, he damn near near maine. To me upstate ain't NY especially that far up haha


Albany is not near Maine. :lol: Albany is about a 2 hour 20 minute drive from NYC. Huerter's from NY. You can't say, "He's not from NY." HE'S FROM NEW YORK!


I'm getting the sense that the Knicks were not his favorite team growing up. Based on past interviews it sounds like he was a Miami Heat fan. His favorite player is Lebron James and he wears no.3 because of DWade and Iverson (see below). I even remember him talking about the Heat a lot in some interviews early on. I went to school upstate and a lot of folks up there have surprisingly odd views of NYC and anything related to it almost to the point where they see NYC as another state onto itself. It's not uncommon to find upstate NY'ers liking teams from Pennsylvania (Sixers, Phillies, Steelers) or across the border in Canada and not be endeared with the popular NYC area teams. The one set of NY team that most upstate NY'ers seem to mostly be fans are are oddly the teams that rarely ever gets considered NY teams if you think about it (talking obviously about the Buffalo Bills and Sabres). And that kinda is representative of the microcosm of NY'ers far outside of the NYC area. If you ask most NYC folk to name the NY sports teams in football they'd say the Jets and Giants and in hockey they'd say the Rangers and Islanders. Very rarely would you hear the Bills or Sabres mentioned (even though the Bills and Sabres have been around since the 1960's and 70's respectively). In fact you're probably more likely to get them to say the Devils (a NJ team) if pressed for the 3rd hockey team from NY than the Sabres. That feeling about being the forgotten stepchild is pretty prevalent and it spawns the lack of allegiance to the popular NYC area teams.

You're joking, but sadly this is basically a microcosm of the Dolan style of ownership. Our new backcourt might take a minute to adjust this season. The tabloid sky will certainly be falling if we come out sluggish. Leon hasn't been tested like that yet.

The area of need for the Knicks is SF...they don't have anyone over 6-7 to play it so the big, long and versatile SFs will eat the Knicks up.

...and no, Knox is not the solution unless he take a huuuUUUUUuuuge leap which he hasn't shown any indication he was on the verge of.

For the one game series marathon the regular season is I suspect that the starting 2-3 wing duo of RJ and EF will be competitive defensively every game, especially under Thibs.

There are some teams that will be too big for them tho there aren't alot of them in the league but the Knicks will see many of them in the playoffs for a long series of games.

The Knicks could use one 6-9 SF impact two way playmaker off the bench, that player they will say 'the player they wanted Knox to be' about.

Thibs could really use a guy like that.

Ideally, we would develop the youth to a point where Grimes can effectively back up the two guard position and allow us to move Burks for a backup defensive focused small forward. Burks for Kyle Anderson or Dorian Finney-Smith at the deadline?

Right here, yeah!

We need dat long one. I hear lots O guys talking about passing on Jalen in da draft but I didn't follow da guy.
Hope dad shiz don't come back and bit us.

Knox, he just don't got the lateral movement. But he is big and long, so there B some hope.

We B more a regular season team but we sure did get a hells of a lot betta, but still missing that piece you mention for da playoffs.

Between me being a minority, from NYC and a bit Yankees and Knicks fan I'm surprised I made it out of upstate NY alive. Where I went to school as within a short driving distance of one of the main hubs of the KKK. :D

Only a small part of Long Island is north of the Bronx. In any event, do yourself a favor a stay away.

LOL, having been raised in Queens and having moved to San Diego in HS I offer the following observation.

Upstate New Yorkers = CA Central Valley - Kevin McCarthy represents Fresno
NYC residents = Coastal Elites (San Diego, LA, SF, Carmel)

To me I love the duality in both states. Some of my best memories of New York were on drives upstate and into PA. It was so lush, green, rolling, so completely different from Queens/Long Island.

Same thing in CA, 40miles west of San Diego/LA you're into the mountains of San Bernadino on the 395 and you start rolling by "big"towns like Lone Pine/Bishop. That's beautiful country but culturally and sceanically its a different world from, say San Clemente.

Pro Tip - U.S. 395 is the most underrated road in California.

Return to New York Knicks
