2015 NY Knicks offseason thread, Los Almighty appreciation thread

in all seriousness, not that Calderon is a lockdown defender, but aside from steals Larkin is a straight up liability imo

Who are the top prospects going into NCAA season?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Jason Smith does everything Bargs could do at a lower cost and with more consistency.

So what's the fascination, with the logic you stated we already have a Bargs or two and we aren't any better off, he isn't going to save/help us, I could be wrong but I don't see it.

another big body with a soft touch never hurts. he's not gonna magically make us better though. maybe once we click as a cohesive unit we'll be ok. this isn't gonna turn around by any one player, eventually these guys need to click like we did with J Kidd that one year.

I hope I never see Bargs on the court, ever.

You and me both, I just don't understand, everyone hates STAT, he gets better at the little things, can score, got better at rebounding, defense is horrid, but he is who he is, but he hasn't even been that gawd awful(kinda) on d, but last I checked Bargs is and has always been just as injury prone if not more so than STAT, and we sought him out. Like wasn't there any other alternatives

bargs was a solid big body last year, better shot blocker than expected. he's just italian.

I'm just frustrated, I don't want to make it seem like dude is trash, but we have enough talent to win now and it just isn't happening

i feel you. i agree. the talent here is enough to be .500. we look like ****. we have mental lapses. it's a lot of dumb stuff they need to grow out of.

Welp. No help from the Commish or refs any time soon.

NEW YORK -- Knicks president Phil Jackson didn't appreciate NBA commissioner Adam Silver sharing his thoughts on the team's new triangle offense.

Silver jokingly said it "clearly" looked like the Knicks were "still learning" the triangle after their loss to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.

Jackson on Monday addressed the commissioner's comments.

"I wasn't so humored by the commissioner actually jumping in on top of that, too," he said. "He doesn't need to get in on that. There's enough focus on [the] triangle. It's not anything. It's a system. It's simple basketball. Just play the game. We're over the triangle; let's get to business and play the right way."

Jackson, unprompted, offered his thoughts on Silver during a session with reporters before the Knicks' 91-85 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Silver was asked about the Knicks' new offense Thursday prior to their loss to the Brooklyn Nets.

"I watched the Knicks' game last night," Silver said with a laugh. "Clearly, they're still learning the triangle. I still don't understand it. But they're learning it. But that's what the game is all about. You have a new coach; you have a new president of basketball operations in Phil Jackson; you have a couple new players on the team."

The Knicks (2-6) struggled on both ends of the floor through the first eight games of the season.

Coach Derek Fisher noted before Monday's game that some players appeared tentative while running the triangle offense.

The Knicks entered play Monday ranked 20th in points per 100 possessions and 19th in field goal percentage.

"They're still quite a ways from their execution capability as a team. And this is going to happen," Jackson said. "It's all part of the process."

I rather watch Bargs play than see Amare play another minute.

There's absolutely nothing he does that benefits the team in any way. We lose every lead, teams go on runs, he blows every cover, etc as soon as Amare is on the floor.

been watching this on replay

 

[Master Zik]

So what's a better watch these Knicks or the Giants? Which team will have a better record by the end of the month? :x

 

[arrjae2]

we are terrible.

how we lose to a team TWICE in a row?
it aint like they did anything different. the usual suspects for both teams showed up.


yea we still got Jose, Bargs coming back. so what?
Jose may settle the offense down a bit, he and Bargs can spread the floor.
but they cant guard their position.

gonna be a long *** season.
ill be amazed if we are still in playoff talks by the break.
we are that terrible, deal with it.


panic mode: initiated.

 

[gregzzy23]

Was at the game and too drunk to realize Acy got zero burn until now. Fisher had a terrible game

Considering how poor we are on defence, Im really surprised we are not using more of Acy, His high energy and hustle are a big help when he is on the court.

Regarding the game. I hate the Hawks. One of the worst franchises in the NBA. They have a trash squad yet are beating us, hurts man

Haven't scored more than 100 yet and we keep acting like defense is the only problem.

Haven't scored more than 100 yet and we keep acting like defense is the only problem.

Well I guess to be fair, we're not getting blown out of these games as well. So, maybe our horrible offense is rubbing off on the other teams too? Or our defense is pretty solid. It's def prevalent that we're struggling on the offensive end.

These guys haven't figured out the Triangle yet, and Melo is struggling with it as well. I'm SHOCKED the media hasn't caught on yet and asked Melo about it more frequently.

Melo has had some poor shooting nights, but there is no reason why he's not playing as aggressively as before. You can def tell he's a bit uncomfortable on the floor sometimes on offense. This guy needs a PG

 

[ballinsam23]

I dont think Melo is struggling with the triangle. These are the same shots he's been taking his whole career. He's just missing them.
