Sloppy 1st quarter.

Seriously, the Knicks will not get away with this schitt in a post season game .

blowin leads nite after nite will catch up to you.

The Suns game, if that game was not a preview of what will happen , I don’t what else to say..

Knicks get in, will be lucky to win a game first round!

thibs is pissed. Already T’d up

Still love watching Westbrook play, he doesn’t take a single play off.

Yep. Him and Dame are my favorite 2 non-Heat players BY FAR Curry is a distant 3rd for me.

 

[bksballer89]

Just love the way they are. All business and don't take a play off.

Hard to not appreciate those 2 approach to the game

 

[bksballer89]

Knicks better enjoy their final easy game vs Houston on Saturday. Challenging game after challenging game in the final 2 weeks.

I'll be stunned if they finished top 5. 6th or 7th is most likely IMO with that schedule but they been proven me wrong all year so we'll see.

AT MEM
AT DEN
AT PHX
AT LAC
AT LAL
VS SAS
VS CHA
VS BOS

All of those teams will be in the playoffs.

4-4 probably get the job done but 3 wins or fewer is going to the land them as a 6th seed at best

Dr J taking Bill Russell and Jerry West over Michael and Lebron lol. Then goes on to talk about how Lebron brought about super teams?

So...what is it Rusell played on? Old timers kill me sometimes.

lol people need to stop this fake narrative that super teams were not around before the Heat big 3.

Within one article it was pointed out Erving's team signed Moses coming off an mvp season. But that didn't count apparently

The Knicks won, easily.

Huh. I thought Embiid was your favorite player.

 

[flyerhawk]

its so odd- i really wonder if people REALLY think this- or are just being insanely hyperbolic.

Curry would of course be high on any top 10-20 list that i would do and has been-

obviously i think he is misplaced in a group with multi-time MVP winners. I hardly think that qualifies him as "washed up"

and i think this year has shown that while he is still a great player - his actual IMPACT - of course almost exclusively on the offensive side- is not on par with other players -as they are 10th in the Western Conference. This despite GSW fans constantly talking up Wiggins and certain (nuts?) compare him to Dennis Rodman. If thats good for 10th in the west....

The only player in the league that can take just about any team to a top 4 seed is Lebron. AD achieved what in New Orleans? There aren't many superstars with no sidekick so it is hard to find comparable situations beyond AD. But, IMO, I don't think there are 3 guys in the league that could carry a poor team to a higher seed than 33 year Steph Curry has done this year.

This Warriors team is not very good. Wiggins is a guy who has about 15 really good games a year and about 30 invisible games a year. Draymond probably won't be in the NBA in 2 years. Wiseman is a rookie. Freaking Kelly Oubre is probably their 2nd best player.

He's still a game changer that is such a wildcard that he could make an average team very good and a good team a title favorite.

Honestly, Curry is the same. He's a pro.

Mostly good post. Draymond isn't going anywhere though. Wiggins is also better than you remember him in Minnesota. But overall this is a pretty mediocre cast around Curry. Wiggy does this.

Wiggins is a decent enough player. But he's wildly overpaid for what his production is. Which is why the Wolves were willing to give up a pick and take back a more consistent but more inherently flawed player in D'Lo.

We'll see about Green. I guess he will be around for one more year after that because he has a player option for 27 million. So they may not buy him out. But there is close to zero chance that he could come close to player up to that salary, or even half that, by that time.

Westbrook is the ultimate tryhard.

I ain't said dick about salary. Both players on the court are better than you give them credit for. We've been over many times why turning KD leaving into Wiggins and the Minny pick was masterful even though he is overpaid

Damn. I missed seeing this the other day but NBA writer/podcaster Jonathan Tjarks has cancer. He does great work. Praying for the best.
