[#1 pick]

Honestly, if the Atlantic wasn't so bad I would say ya'll out of it but the Atlantic is bad and Chandler hasn't played yet.

Fans Of This Team Always Looking For A Scapegoat, Whether It Be Melo, Shump, JR, Whoever

This TEAM Is Flawed

As Far As The Game On The Floor, It Starts With Woody First And Foremost

Stays With Players Who Are Cold, Goes Away From Players Not Named JR Or Melo Who Are Hot

shytty Offensive Schemes, No Kind Of Adjustments

It Doesn't Even Feel Like We Game Plan For The Team We're Playing (I Even Said This Last Season)

He Puts EVERYONE Of Our Guys In A Position To Fail With The Way He Plays With Substitutions And Mins

Not To Put This ALL On Woody But Like I Said Thats Where It Starts, Everyone On This Team Is Accountable For The Atrocious Basketball Being Played

A Coaching Change Or A Minor Trade Is Not Gonna Turn Anything Around

I Noticed 2 Of The Most Frustrated Players This Season Have Been Pablo and Shump, Partly Because They're Covering Other Peoples Ass Defensively And The Way They're Being Subbed Has Been Weirdly Inconsistent

 

[The War Report]

Knicks were successful when:

1. Felton is playing good and is working the pnr with Chandler.

2. They were attempting/making a bunch of 3pters

3. Melo is shooting well and making quick decisions with the ball.

4. Ball movement/low turnovers

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

This team was rebuilt with

1. A coach that doesn't coach defense (D'Antoni)
2. An empty promise of being rewarded with after tanking for two season but in the end he ended up pulling a and the fans ended up

3. A fukked up subsequent free agent signing (Amare and his struggle knees) and a meh signing (Felton)

4. A panic trade that blew up your team and gave away picks () trying to carbon copy and the Heat.

5. free agent signings to supplement lack of cap space

6. Bad draft picks

7. Another dumb free agent signing (Knicks were self duped into believing Tyson Chandler was the final piece to the puzzle after what he did in Dallas even though Dallas had way better pieces)

8. More struggle signings (JR Smith, Ron Artest)

9. More struggle trades to jettison struggle role players


This team is no closer to a title than when the roster looked like

I'm not putting him on a pedestal . If your part of the untradeable bandwagon you are . People saying he can't be traded for even rondo and shyt . I'm holding him accountable for his consistently poor decision making on the perimeter and with his fouls

I keep hearing this thing about "untradeable..." can someone point out who actually says Shump is untradeable?

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

I watched the Shump foul. He barely touched him, but the refs are going to call that 9/10 times, especially with a budding "superstar". Shump has to be smarter than that, but it's not his entire fault for that loss.

Sidenote, I'm really starting to dislike Paul George. He's nice, but I think people are really overrating dude. Especially here on the coli.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

And as far as saying Shump is untradeable, I think people are getting confused. I know for myself, I don't want to trade dude just for some spare parts or a recovering star who just had ACL surgery & will be a fa this summer or next.

I'm also reluctant to make moves, because I know how good this team can be. We saw it last year. I think the main reason we're bad this year is we don't have that veteran leadership in the locker room with Kidd. And Woody HAS to get back to holding ALL the guys accountable. That's another main reason we were so successful last year.

You're being extremely generous with that 9/10 times and I don't know why. Maybe to seem impartial. It was barely a touch foul in the closing moments of a game that wasn't whistled until the shot missed

Knicks need to trade Shump for Faried and this idiot Woodson needs to play World Peace more

This goes to show when I said Chandler was your most vital player not Melo, I was right the whole time. Your whole offense and defense is built around one player. Chandler. His screens, PnR's, defensive anchoring skills, his rebounding bad chucking shots from whoever on your team. This isn't a surprise but like I said, once he comes back and the Atlantic is so bad, you are still in it oddly enough.

Nah, he's def not the most vital but almost equally as vital as Melo.

Doesn't matter how slight or hard it was. You tap a shooter on the elbow in the act of shooting, they're calling it. Next time you play pickup, let someone tap your elbow when you're trying to shoot a three. Fucks up your shot more than you think.
