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

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Blame the only guy on the squad who can/has been putting the ball in the hoop.

Last night, Iman Shumpert became the first Knick in over 30 years to log 20+ minutes, yet fail to record a single point, rebound, or assist.

Stop scapegoating Shump brehs

Stop scapegoating Shump brehs

He's mailed it in and I dont blame him at all.

When asked to elaborate on why this is an issue for the Knicks, Amar'e grinned. "My job is to play the game, your guys' job is to analyze the game. You guys know how it works and why it's not moving. I think you can figure it out.

Disgusting. This guy is turning into a fukking cancer.

Amar'e Must Be Drunk, Someone Tell Him To Shut Up

 

[DeathStar_LF]

Amare has some nerve to talk about ball movement. Lmfao

Here are some stats Chris Herring pulled and he made some great points on his twitter account:

@HerringWSJ: According to Synergy Sports, Amar'e has posted up a total of 35 times this season. He's passed the ball out of a post-up play 3x all year.

@HerringWSJ: 5 turnovers out of 35 possessions. RT @russellcasado: @HerringWSJ how many end in turn overs from those post-ups?

@HerringWSJ: @Jerseyhaas Shumpert and Stoudemire are both blaming ball movement. But 63% of their baskets were assisted tonight. Wasn't the problem.

@HerringWSJ: @Jerseyhaas And my tweet abt STAT was more to suggest that he shouldn't be pointing the finger abt ppl not passing the ball.

Be a fan of a New York sports team in 2013, brehs.

There are so many reasons why this crippled fool should've kept his mouth closed.

But then it wouldn't be the season of fukkery

 

[Carter G. Hoodson]

Amar'e threw Melo under the bus

how do you figure?

 

[Carter G. Hoodson]

Yeah but he's right though. I wouldnt blame the messenger in this instance. Granted- not the guy who should be complaining, but he's not wrong either. The Knicks play a terrible brand of basketball.

That's more on the coach more than anything. The players roles are not defined so their won't be any confusion.

 

[Illuminatos]

Lmaoooo

 

[Brief Keef]

that melo & ryan could be a smiley

 

[Cory MBA]

We suck right now...

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

It's obvious this year that this team, excuse me, collection of players don't like each other. Maybe a few wins will help smooth some issues out, but there are bigger issues at play. Shump wants to leave, Amare hates his role, bargnani is just used to losing and JR playing every bit like the weed head he is. We food to opposing point guards, get pick and rolled to death and switch more than kid and play on a house party dance floor. And yet with all of that I still watch
