Dolan may have fired these fools

More likely Dolan is just playing a new JD & the Straight Shot song for Mills and Perry

 

[ikbm]

if portis comes in the game and miss 4 of his first 5 shots....just bench him. if he aint scoring he offers you nothing else.
how many times has this nikka just been clueless on basic pick and roll???

Another L for @Squirrel The Casual Man

You’re pathetic. Why are you polluting a team thread that you don’t like (nor watch) with your trolling?

making up fake hot takes for attention because you’ve been proven to be an idiot who knows nothing about basketball is old, fam. I’m not even a Julius Randle fan. I just know he’s better than Jabari Parker. You’re an actual Jabari Parker fan.

You know what’s not fake though:

Those are not facts. You are wrong. Porizingis is definitely the most skilled player out of the four of them. (Porzingis, Embiid, Simmons, Giannis)

Along with you saying Jokic is better than Anthony Davis, Trae Young is not good, and the ultimate casual moron take: Draymond can guard Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

Take your casual ass on and stop derailing threads.

What an awful display.

I hate to say I called it...but I called it. Hard to get up to play the Cavs on a Sunday night

Just one more thing...theres one more narrative that is false and needs to be debunked now

Blaming KP on Melo

Carmelo was never a disruptive player. At the end Phil Jackson was throwing shots at Melo, and Carmelo did very little to retaliate other then a few tweets which werent really that bad. He didnt really seek to get revenge with Phil, he just wanted to peacefully be on his way out of NY

You can nitpick what Melo did on the court but off the court he was a great leader by example. Always had a great work ethic and was a positive influence on the younger Knicks

He didnt blame his teammates, he handled the media well. KP quickly became prideful and arrogant, in his 2nd year he thought he deserved superstar treatment. Melo had nothing to do with that, the whole blame Melo narrative has written all over it. The hypocrisy on this site is something else

If Melo were drafted by say the Pistons, his career trajectory and narrative would be much different

In fact he would have been perfect on the Pistons

Main scorer surrounded by defenders

2009 and 2012-2013 proved you can build a winning team around Melo

Sadly the FO's he played for were never able to consistently build good rosters around him

It's a crime we didn't get to see more of Melo in playoff runs past the 1st round in his prime

Such a wasted once in a generation offensive talent

 

[JMurder]

Relatively speaking I guess so. As a PG he’s been horrid tho . Everytime he feeds one of our bigs for a post up or iso instead of FACILITATING the offense, my dislike of him grows.

He needs to grow some balls. ASAP before Elfrid or Dennis takes his minutes and y’all have to complain that Fizz never plays him.

The only thing Elfrid and z Dennis do different is actually drive to the basket. Otherwise the "running of the offense" is the same

@Squirrel The Casual Man goes and makes up fake hot takes and blatant lies for attention

@Squirrel The Casual Man accuses others of making up hot takes for attention



@Squirrel The Casual Man goes and pollutes team threads with trolling

@Squirrel The Casual Man gets mad when he gets a taste of his own medicine



@Squirrel The Casual Man creates entire arguments from box score stats and gets called out for it

@Squirrel The Casual Man gets embarrassed and starts accusing others of box score-whoring



The lack of self-awareness is all too alarming.

Is Steve Mills apologizing for the shytty product he put out there or is he apologizing for how shytty they’ve been playing?

I don’t like Fizdale’s coaching, but forcing him to work with 5 SF/PF who all want/warrant minutes was just stupid general management. Especially when you have Knox who needs to develop.

 

[kej718]

I need to see this team healthy quick.
Gibson or Robinson need to be on the floor at all times with Randle.

RJ needs to have the ball in his hands every once and a while. When Frank was on the bench they should have let him bring the ball up.
Knox needs to get more touches.
Trier needs to get all of Ellingtons minutes.
Randle should sit on the bench after every turnover.

When everyone is healthy there should just be a 10 man rotation. It's hard to be consistent if you don't know how many minutes you are going to be playing.

Mitchell Robinson, Taj Gibson
Julius Randle, Bobby Portis
Marcus Morris, Kevin Knox
RJ Barrett, Allonzo Trier
Frank Ntilikina, Dennis Smith Jr.
