The top half teams didn't necessarily get over powering besides select few but the bottom half have improved. Mavs may not be as dominant especially with Kp being out from jump

Ur only hope is Luka missing a lot of games

West is top heavy with a bunch of treadmill teams

Mavs can flat out score the rock even without KP they have depth

Luka hasn't proved to be durable either and with a more condensed season more games will come faster. He seems to have ankle issues he'll be in and out the line up

It’s the right direction tho... wish they woulda used their space to acquire some picks but at least they are playing it patient and thinking long term

knicks team in the past woulda splurged on van fleet or Hayward

Idk part of me wishes they splurged.

Our young guys need to play with talent it helps their development these veteran reclamation projects aren’t it for the youth

Saw it all of last year with Randle-Payton two man game

The lack of spacing and touches made R.J. look worse than he really is

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

Why? He’s the only one who can actually run a team.

He runs well with Randle but creates poor spacing with RJ. I would put another shooter in that spot who isn’t a facilitator like Payton and have the offense run through RJ. I also think he was one of the reasons RJ did poorly his rookie season and didn’t get the touches he needed to succeed.

Both of them froze Rj and the young guys out a lot. Rj showed visible frustration because of it happening constantly these mf have to goRandle more so cause he's a bumbling turnover machine. At least with Payton he can just be in lineups away from RJ

Frank started the first half of the season? You lying son. Payton started most of last season. Do you watch knicks games?

How many games did Frank start?

 

[Peter Popoff]

Y'all pray for Frank's groin this season. You how that nikka is.

Two top 5 picks this year

 

[Peter Popoff]

This is what I was watching the other day. nikkas was capping on me when I said exactly what he said. 25 and 8 year from Toppin.

On paper, they have arguably the worst roster, but I'm pretty confident that this team would exceed 22.5 wins, simply because of Thibs.

His teams always overachieve during the regular season with the tight ship he runs; demanding maximum effort every single game. Especially with the condensed schedule, I can see the Knicks getting wins against teams they typically wouldn't beat (when players are getting rested or teams are looking ahead). Load management is going to a real thing across the league this season.

That’s a point i never thought of. I wonder if that’s why they got so many redundancies at each position. Plan might be to go 10-12 deep every night.

Like, i get it, but Mark Jax was WYLIN in GS behind the scenes. I never understood why Knicks fans wanted him so bad.
