Where have I hyped Wiseman? Or any one who didn’t actually deserve some praise?

I’ve never claim star potential in any of these players. This year the only guy I was hyping up was Jordan Poole, who this far has deserved it.
I think you have hyped some draft picks/young guys in the past. Cannot think of names off hand but often were front court players.

Compared to others here, though, I would not call you a homer.

It really is though.

The 2 players are nothing alike.

Early in his career, Nerlens was a defensive ace with a very limited skill set offensively.

Wiseman has obvious offensive skills, the question is whether he can defend, rebound and understand his role well enough to use them in a meaningful way.

If Nerlens had Wiseman’s skills, he would have been a really good player.

I am not sure Wiggy could have picked a worse comparison to be honest.
Can agree not much alike....I meant (and think he did) compared to how good they are overall. Not necessarily in the ways they might be good.

Yeah probably.

Still an odd comparison.

Because there are other examples of offensive minded bigs who haven’t turned out well because they couldn’t defend.

He should have gone with one of those.

RW back to the Rockets for Wall?
If I’m the Lakers I’m doing it.
If I am the Rockets, I’m not but there aren’t many options for Houston and you have Wall sitting on the bench. They could be forced to make a move especially if more pressure comes from Wall’s team
The Rockets need to either play, trade or buyout Wall. It’s absolutely ridiculous what is going on.

Can't recall citysushi ever hyping a player up like you've suggested. He doesn't do the hype thing. Only expresses his hopes for a player.

Bell, Looney and Paschal come to mind. Might have been someone else, though.....or I could be misremembering.

Do you have him mixed up with someone else by chance? I just don't recall seeing him do that.

No.

Simple question;

What is the point behind your suggestion to fire Thibs?

You are going to want the next coach fired too.
Cause the Knicks suck and he is responsible for it. He’d be the first to admit it whether or not he was the problem. That’s the way it is. plain and simple enough? Your hired to be fired.

Obviously the org went against his philosophy of fundamental ball so what is point of him being in NY?

I’m not sure that whoever is responsible for the Knicks is even still alive.

Lol, what worse in NY, the Knicks or Kyrie?
Mark my words, at some point when he is ready to play Kyrie will just show up vaccinated as if nothing ever happened.

What is the point of anyone coaching the Knicks?

Only a couple GS fans here. could have been msg. But I am fairly certain he thought those guys would be better than they have been.
