Put Some Hornacek On Our Game: 2016 New York Knicks Offseason Thread

[Shogun]

Debate @ZemaPromos, brehs.

 

[Victim of Racism]

why the fukk is he playing

Same reason 'Melo still is. To get rid of the rust from missing so many games.

 

[DPresidential]

Okay... @ZemaPromos

What would have to happen...or not happen for you to believe Calderon is a big piece of the problem?

How long before his shot doesn't come back? How long before doesn't increase his APG?

Have you felt that Calderon has been doign an okay job defending guys?

 

[Harleminthe80s]

Surprise surprise a line up of Galloway, Grant, Melo, KP and Rolo is a good Defensive line up

Jose's 20 mins and 5.8 fga's are killing no one. 'Melo is the problem. NY needs a few more points to win games and he is missing the most shots because he is taking the most. Not his fault he's hurt. Doesn't change the fact that he's the one costing NY games. If the man of the team doesn't perform, expect to lose. It's not for D-Will or Kris to save NY. They can do no such thing. NY desperately needs 'Melo's offense, especially against elite teams. Jose's assists and 10 efficient ppg that he was traded to NY to bring is supposed to be a bonus, not some cover for 'Melo struggle buckets. Hopefully Arron can help change things until 'Melo gets his lift back.

So are some of the ones with Jose. The lineup you're referring to has a 92.8 offensive rating. No team is that bad offensively this year. The worst team is 93 (Philly). NY needs buckets, especially against elite teams. Ask Memphis, who is only 1 game better than NY (for now, that could change tonight). NY defended well last game and lost.

ya'll still arguing with @ZemaPromos after her andrea bargnani slurping from last year?

 

[onelastdeath]

We're we wrong to sign Melo long term? We're we supposed to let him walk and rebuild long term after drafting Kristaps?

Trade him while the value is high

The Knicks are not winning a title with him anytime soon, so what exactly is the point of having him when you can restock the cabinet. Look at how the Blazers are playing without Aldridge, get what you can for him before it's too late.

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

@ZemaPromos i ain't about to argue with u when u was caping for bargnani last year

Doing it for calderholmes this year


And get into constant discussions with coli cats claiming Melo is better than Bron.

 

[MostReal]

Not gonna front, the Knicks thread was like 90% of the reason I joined The Coli.

Good discussions and live reactions when the game is on.

nah you trade him.... for what I don't know but thats the smart move. Unfortunately he got a no trade clause so we got to hope he makes it through this contract. Cause he is here long term.

On the bright side Phil might of got 2 top 10 players from this draft (so far) for our suffering and Hardaway. He's building the team around Melo and if Melo's shooting improves and Afflalo comes back healthy I think we can get into the playoffs. We got no pick so getting thos squad some playoff experience should be the only foreseeable goal.

That's because Sasha is playing with Jose. Everyone knows that drtg and ortg are like plus/minus stats in that they're dependent on who is on the floor with them:











Now, do you have any stats or anything else to disprove what Ian Begley posted about Kris's fouls or have you give up that narrative? You just posted some unrelated stats as a rebuttal to that.

Begley's stat didn't refute my statement which directly correlated to the Cavs game. I didn't blame Calderon for KP's foul trouble throughout the first 5 games, only the singular Cavs game. There's no need to rebuttal it because it didn't disprove my statement.

Calderon is a veteran guard that is giving us absolutely nothing on both ends. Comparing his production so far to Melo's is the dumbest shyt I've heard on here in a minute.

I agree Calderon was getting the whole team in foul trouble off of losing his defender in PnR.... not to mentioning giving up 3's.

I also agree no one is no saying the knicks got 5-0 with him on the bench but it has to be on scouting reports to attack him in PnR and transition. Calderon is Felton status
