That's not an absolvence of Perry and Mills. If that's what you're getting out of what I'm saying then I'm sorry to inform you otherwise. Let me ask you a question, do you think we have more or less talent than last year?
Playoffs?
nikka, first round of the draft.
fukk is wrong with you? Can't even troll right

In case there was a question of whether Julius Randle is being used correctly:
We can't be developing our signature signing, starting him, and making him a focal point of our offense while NOT putting him in a position best to succeed. If you think that's a failure of the front office, I have some land in the Caribbean I'd like to sell you.
Randle’s numbers have plummeted following his breakout season with the Pelicans. With the Knicks, he’s averaging 4.9 fewer points on the same amount of shots with significantly worse scoring efficiency. A big reason for his struggles is the way New York head coach David Fizdale is using him.
Off-ball cutting isn’t part of the Knicks offense; they ranked 30th last season and they’re 30th again so far this season. Randle is an excellent cutter, but he has done it 8.2 percent less on half-court possessions with the Knicks. Here are two examples from last season of what he can do when given the opportunity:
Randle isn’t just a bulldozer; he’s intuitive with his timing. Last season, he’d trail drives to the rim to finish players. This season, Fizdale has him stay behind the arc, which often turns into isolations or spot-up attempts; defenses aren’t afraid of a career 29.8 percent 3-point shooter. Randle’s own limitations have been put on display under Fizdale because he’s not being positioned to highlight his greatest strengths.
We can't be developing our signature signing, starting him, and making him a focal point of our offense while NOT putting him in a position best to succeed. If you think that's a failure of the front office, I have some land in the Caribbean I'd like to sell you.

the teams are similar talent wise
but we have a little bit more talent now
so we will win more den 17 games
but talent doesnt mean shyt
look at last years celtics
the team itself is constructed just as badly as it was last year
you talk like its a great team that unfortunately has a bad coach
there's not a coach out there that is making a good team out of this mess.
our best player is a 19 year old who has played 10 games
I've been literally saying this for a month and you've been catching an attitude with me.

i already answered your question
the team from last year is similar in talent to the team this year
even tho i believe this team is a little more talented, it doesnt matter because the way da roster is constructed is just as bad if not worse den last year.,
and basketball is about chemistry, not talent.
and i dont think this team is performing worse den last year. simple eye test will tell you we are competing more and playing better defense.
miss me with dem nerd stats.

No...he's a very low IQ offensive and defensive player. He does have skills though and with a good coach he can thrive. I don't think Fiz is that coach.but you admit he's a good player?

I know this isn't the "Slightly worse but better constructed team" that you're referring to

Injury Report got me thinking I might skip this game and just write about how the Knicks always go halfway to a rebuild and halfway to trying to make the playoffs which is the worst approach possible instead.
