Knicks - Cavs PG

[Nazrmohamed]

I’m not following why John Calipari comments on our team every other day lol.

He's going to do that until all 15 players on the roster are from UK. That's when Thibs is supposed to step aside

Yall too much. I would scold you guys for your conspiracy theories but for yrs I said the same thing about the CAA connection and look now. They're back again and yes there's definitely a Kentucky connecting but the real question you shutoff be asking yourself is whether that is so bad. They are the best college recruiters making they get the best players. If this connecting means a pipeline of the best players then I'm not gonna knock it.

It'll be very interesting to see what, if any, adjustments Thibs will make to the rotations in the next game. Maybe we need to see our young warriors go up against the Cavs starters? If little Julie''s feelings gonna get hurt? I don't give a fck!

Let those one-year players come off the bench.

The D with Quick was a whole other thing because on ball he's good but he was also doing some advanced stuff hedging off his man and not wasting energy chasing random stuff which leads to the inevitable 3 point breakdown.

I learned to hedge at Lutheran High School basketball camp the summer before 10th grade. One week day camp. Maybe Dolan can send the other Knicks there over the summer.

Hope we can see some of this with Quickley and Obi.

everything about that combo is perfect "on offense." love quickley... tall, tall order to be the kind of passer or shooter steve nash was. all-time great at both. and an underrated element of stoudemire's game was brilliant picks and slips. you were dead to rights whichever one he executed. i never thought i'd see a better p/r game than stockton and malone... but there it is.

It's the timing too. Sometimes Nash waits to initiate off the pick, and sometimes there's a quick move. Keeps the defense guessing. That ability to mix things up and keep the defense off balance is rare, and you see that from both Nash and Amar'e. Beautful.

Yes well for us it's advanced. And the NBA in general is about at the 9th grade level of D.

Yalll was saying we beat nobodies. I jus watched it again. We made Okoro get benched.

Seriously. It's this AAU ball bullshyt. They don't teach these kids the fundamentals of the game anymore. Part of it is that these kids can make up for so many mistakes with their shear athleticism which seems to reach higher levels each year. The down side is that they are not being taught slowly.

Think about what it's like to learn something complicated whether it be learning to play a song, learning a dance move, or learning how to execute a move on the basketball court, it all comes from practicing it slowly in order to develop the required muscle memory. I think that's severely lacking in many of these kids and their shooting forms are horrible.

Okora's, surprisingly, looked pretty good last night. The kid looks like he's gonna be a player.

He didn't look that good to me. I would take Doumbouya though -- he can play!

It depends... if the pipeline gets us the best Kentucky players.. great. But if this sh.it is to give middle-of-the-road players more money than what they are advertised, then is it really a good thing?

Things that are inflated, which is much of capitalism at the top, tend to start moving in the direction of quick fixes and corruption (which are sort of the same thing in some ways). The NBA is definitely hurting the game with too much money and too much ego.

I used to hate DSJ, but now that he's actually trying on defense my outlook on him has completely changed.

I no longer get angry when I watch him...now I just feel sad.

Thought it was pipeline

Finally found time to watch the game. My early impressions of DSJ - he played quite a game. He played some terrific defense and nailed some bombs from deep. I look forward to his redemption tour.

The Knicks can field some really athletic lineups. Mitch, Toppin, Knox, make for terrific lob targets. Guys like Randle and RJ have the girth to make it to the basket and hit the boards. There's speed on the wings with pretty much everyone.

Quickley looked quite good didn't he? He looked solid out there. He had some great lobs, highlighting that maybe he's more than he looked in college. IMO he's what we wish Frank was. A hard nosed defender that can hit some shots, handle the ball, and make the pass. His shooting threat opens the court and it makes the rest of the PG rotation redundant.

Knox looked great as well. Does he start? He might have to if his shooting keeps up.

Toppin needs to hit the weight room. Also defensive technique isnt there yet. Probably key coaching points that they'll work on during the season. He only got drafted a few weeks ago. He's got great energy though doesn't he? I'm impressed by his willingness to set picks and move the ball. Some of his passes live up to his self-comparison to Lebron.

Give him time.... give him time... give him time... give him time... give him time... give him time...
