What happened to Kristaps Porzingis ?

[Project Pooch]

dude was putting up outrageous Numbers for a short lil stretch...Like 30 and 40pt games on 50+% shooting looking like a monster

What happned to him?
Dude is at 23ppg /7 rebs (as a pf/C) on 43%

And now he is saying he is too tired to play back to backs

Porzingis: 'I'm tired' after playing back-to-back

SAS thinks he is better suited as a second option

He’s still only 22yrs old. No legit 2nd scoring option since timmy went down. No competent PG to make life easier for him.

Nothing to see here

 

[street heat]

He has to do too much heavy lifting for the knicks. Hasn't hardaway jr been out a long time? They need another scorer to make it easier on him

 

[Bigblackted4]

Should be playing Center so he doesnt have to chase players around and be more active can conserve more energy that way.

I like the unicorn homie, i just expected him to be bit better after the start he had. He has really regressed,

as long as he plays the way he plays it's not gonna make much of a difference.

 

[AB Ziggy]

The team needs a 2nd competent scorer.

 

[BigMan]

Too busy fukking these IG thots and flopping

I think it’ll help him get some more rest on the defensive end

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Like I said in the beginning of the season, Knicks burned him out. He's tired.

“I’m tired, I’m tired, I’m so tired right now,’’ Porzingis said in the visitors’ locker room at Capital One Arena. “I have one day to rest my legs and get back and play better and have more energy and try to bring the team’s energy up. We’re in a tough stretch. The mental part doesn’t help at all. When it’s mentally tough, you don’t have it in you.’’

“They were all focused [on] what I was doing,’’ Porzingis said of the Spurs defeat. “Wherever I went, there was contact, boom, boom, bumping me.”

“Obviously having Tim out doesn’t make it easier,’’ said Porzingis, who shot 5-of-13 with three turnovers. “Hopefully Tim will be back with us soon and take some of that pressure off me and other guys.’’

Plus he's anemic

No one knew then that Porzingis was suffering from anemia, a blood disorder that leads to extreme fatigue and weakness. It went undiagnosed for about six months, and it was killing the young prospect.

7'3 athletic big men get alley oops, put backs and dump downs from competent guards and wings that can break down defenses and run an effective pick and roll while being a threat to get to the rim or shoot
the most explosive guard on the knicks roster hasnt played in a month.
jarret jacket cant beat a big man on a switch or command enough attention to give KP more room to operate in the pick and roll/pop for KP(which is why the nikka shoots like 5 floaters a game cause the defense doesnt respect him)
neither can frank (as of yet)
watching courtney lee run the pick and roll is hilarious.
You need an explosive guard to pair with him...taking contested jumpers isnt gonna work forever.
teams have adjusted to the predictability of the knicks offense....and they just dont have someone that can provide unpredictability. now tim hardway is a flawed player but he's the second leading scorer for a reason and has played well.
I'm not worried too much about it...it's a slump but its not something that is completely unbreakable.
While kp is extremely talented, he's still 7'3 and cant do ALL the things guards do to create offense.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

He’s doing everything right now and it’s wearing on him. He’s our best offensive threat and our best defensive threat. Add the fact He gets double teamed consistently and it’s just too much right now.

This is kinda what i noticed, some of the shots he takes are just plain bad and he settles. Those shots were just going in at the start of the season

Every time I turn around this muthafukka complaining about something got damn if this was any of the other star players like Kawhi or Bron or Curry they would tell them to STFU like they did last year when the little sitting controversy popped off ...but this bean pole ass nikka supposed to get a pass for everything
