The idea is: Evaluating talent is evaluating talent. The rest was basically playing around with the idea of "going in the club and settling for 5's" as a misguided metaphor by some geek behind a screen.

Most of it is jokes... people on messageboards routinely mistake lots of words - for - lots of feelings.



As far as the Knicks go? I still don't think they have enough guys who can pass to consistently run the triangle successfully... and they will likely start 3-4 MINUS defenders, depending on who they start at SF and PF. Every guard on the team is an AWFUL defender, save Shumpert. And he has been average for two seasons... hopefully a full recovery gets him back to being able to hound guys. And in the front court, unless Acy is going to get 20-30 minutes a game, you don't have a single front court player rangy enough to defend a screen... any kind of screen.

They won't be awful, they'll play harder than last season... but there are very real limitations out there, and they are going to HAVE to pour it in from 3 to beat teams.

you buggin the f*ck out

JR and Amare in the second unit is cool, they can get away with more triangle fukkery playing against other team's B squad. Also like I said superior/great guards will eat anytime they play the knicks..... nothing can be done about that due to personnel. However, the defense in general is already superior to last season.
