Stunts, Blunts & Basketball: The 2013-14 New York Knicks Season Thread

Okay...so who do we want to join Melo?

Well IF Melo Is On This Team, What You Think About Rondo And LeMarcus Aldridge?

Rondo is questionable at the moment due to his health status but he is also notorious for being difficult to coach and coexist with team mates. If healthy, he can ball, no doubt.

As for LeMarcus, I only see highlights of Portland. I can't honestly speak intelligently about his game. Didn't I hear that he wanted out of Portland?

He's Had His Up And Downs With The Blazers, That Being Said I Doubt He Cares Enough About That Situation To Stay There

I Dont Wanna Get Too Heavy Into These BS Fantasy Scenarios Though, Just Saying

I hear you...I am not about to drown in misery though. I am thinking beyond this situation.

When things turn around, I will pay more attention to reality.

No shots for Bargs in the 4th is a joke. And that's on the guy who always says it's on him. Relying on Melo to be hot in the 4th qtr to have a chance to win won't win many if any ball games.

JR Smith is a dummy. This dude shooting under 25% from the field and took 2 beyond halfcourt heaves last night, 1 of which he shoulda gave up to THjr who was ahead of the pack. Most players wont even take that shot with under a certain amount of time left so as NOT to fukk their fg%. Not Lil Earl tho!

Why have Pablo on the floor if JR is gonna initiate the offense? Why is JR ever initiating the offense?

Ray shoulda been sat his ass down if he was hurt. Got me looking stupid for tryna defend him. PG play still was shytty because of my previous sentence...

If you give anyone in da league 5 mins a half to prove himself (especially someone with so much to prove) da results won't be good

He played very well in his role last year

I'm not sayin he still got it, but we atleast gotta give him a proper chance

We didn't allow him to train all summer

Didn't allow him in training camp

Barely played in pre season

Than the minutes restrictions

Pretty much settin him up to fail

I agree with almost this whole post.

The only thing I disagree with is the notion that we're giving him 5 mins a half to prove himself. That's not what's happening at all. He's getting 5 minutes because that's all he's cleared for. The problem is he's HURTING the team in the limited amount of minutes he's out there. That's completely different from being out there and not making an impact at all (which I would personally prefer at this point).

Anyway, it sounds like he turned a corner last night

I can't believe how this Organization has ruined Shumpert.

I'm sick of Melo's non-commitment ... fukker should flat out say he's staying or the Knicks should ship his as out.

• Fire Woodson and look for a Taker for JR (OKC?)
• Trade Melo and STAT to Dallas for Marion, Larkin and a 1st Rounder.
• Bargs is playing well enough were he'll opt out
• Knicks should put all there marbles in trying to land a top FA in 14, 15 or 16.
• Build up the young players you have, Knicks should have kept the young players that they had and than use the big FA as the final piece.

I still feel this team has a +.500 record with better coaching by Woody. The first 5 games his lineups had a nikka like

Bruh I feel you on most of these but you have to understand the Garden and the owner...

Their no. 1 concern is filling seats in MSG TODAY... there is no such thing as rebuilding for this Organization.

Could you see Dolan making the right choice one day to plan a full rebuild when his accountant & accomplice is screaming in his ear about how it would effect sales of tickets? Especially w/ the Barclay's Center in our backyard?

This team needs LUCK to get a good team honestly, that or perfect timing. It is sad really because a New York Basketball should not have a 40 year hiatus(and counting...) in championships...

I really do like Melo...he is very talented and I think him staying in NY is a good thing but he needs to really buy in and he needs to be stronger willed. The amount of times I see NY Knickerbockers giving up during a game is fukking disgusting.

I'm watching with my 3 year old son(Who loves basketball because it's all I play, watch and video game) and I dead ass point out when a Knick throws his hands up (Melo & Felton) and say... "Son, keep trying, do not get upset when something doesn't go your way, keep playing hard)

'Scust

Ni99as mad at melo but this is all because of Stat tying up 100 mil dollars. Lets be real. Hate Melo all you want but bc of stat the only players we can sign are washed up vet minimum nikkas like MWP and Kmart.

 

[The War Report]

Get ready for another L and potentially a firing(probably the assistant coaches).

according to yall tho melo is a superstar capable of leading a contender team

while scoring 25 a game on 22 shots

Why do we have so many trolls coming in here. I never understood why people care about a trash team . Do these same trolls make appearances in Wizard, Bucks, Bobcats, etc team threads?

What can be done about that tho? Melo can stop playing hero ball in the 4th tho. He's gonna burn himself out by all star break trying to play the way he's playing.
