Knicks still...

[BallUpAllStar8]

If the Knicks want to start contending, they have to be smart in free agency and in the draft, for example not signing 5 power forwards during free agency when you need a quality point guard!

Well, a few years back, the Suns seemed like they wanted to go with a 5 point guard lineup.

Apparently the Knicks decided that the reason it didn't work was because they didn't have enough size. So they fixed that. lol

Not unless they add a lot of veteran talent in the off season.

 

[Pastafazul]

Lol, here we go again...

They been adding veterans every year like foreva!!!!

what they haven’t had was a coach who held their players accountable!

Really? That's interesting.

Looking at their roster they have Taj Gibson and Wayne Ellington who have been in the league 10 years. They've only been playing about 16 minutes per game each.

Mo Harkless (who only played in 12 games) has 7 years and Julius Randle has 5.

The entire rest of the roster is rookies (4 of them) and a bunch of guys who have in the league less than 4 years.

That's not adding a lot of veterans.

Their problem is the same one they've had for years. They just don't have a ton of talent.

Thibs should help. If nothing else, their defense should improve and that will keep them in games. They'll still lose most of them though.

In short, I think they'll win enough and play well enough to convince a better player or 2 to join them and maybe get them to the playoffs the following season.

No man.

What I mean is that they need to add a difference maker. A star. Maybe 2.

Not just a random vet who would be somewhere between 4th and 8th man on a good team.

That is what they have been doing.

Problem is vets don't always seem too enthused coming to play for such a coach. Never mind could be argued they don't have anyone who could even be a contending team's #3.

. So now we want to argue the fact that the Knicks, who Haven’t had a coach who held his players accountable since Jeff van goofy, won’t get to post season unless we pick up a few bums.

No. They already have bums. We're saying they need to get guys who can actually play.

I don’t want to know how the NBA works, because the players call the shots, no pun intended. If the league does not take it back. You will have less and less interest in it.

Did I not tell you NBA ratings would be down???

 

[Pastafazul]

All that coaches are today are just cool baby sitters, who let kids do what they want! Major sports on a very short leash

How much of that is because of afternoon games and few late Pacific time zone games? Or racists upset with the slogans?

I stick to my opinion as to why I no longer watch. Yes, basketball players are the best athletes in the world. The coach cannot roll a ball on the court and be a spectator.

It is hilarious that you believe that is what happens today.

Just because coaches have found a better, more effective way to relate to players doesn’t mean they are “rolling the ball out”.

lol

And you claim to be a coach.

How good a team is, is directly proportional to the number of clipboards the coach has broken. How do you not know this?

As soon as your Wizards hire a coach who's strong enough to break a clipboard...you guys will win a title.

 

[Pastafazul]

lol all you want, my posts sooner or later come to fruition!

all major sports except hockey are in trouble! NHL was already in trouble, is coming back.

 

[Pastafazul]

How do coaches today relate to players today? Lol , let them act out? Not show up? Have green hair?

 

[Pastafazul]

Lol, partially banned for having a different opinion on subject. Gets attacked by usual suspects. Then threatened for answering personal attacks initiated by usual suspects.

How childish for the moderator to disallow to further post while his cowhorts continue to attack posts that they can respond to that I can no longer.

“cyber bullying” at its best . Oh, so that I stay on subject in case of further punishment.

where are all of the coaches hired after isiah in the game today? let start with Fizdale

if this post even lasts long enough. It may self destruct in 3... 2...1


have an f’ed up day!

No star wants to play for the Knicks.....as we saw during the last free agent frenzy.
