LOL.

It is truth.

Hard work builds skill and confidence.

Players don’t just show up more confident 1 day. You have to earn it.

You laud athletes who work hard right? That is who you want on your team.

WTF is the point of working hard if you don’t get better?

You are arguing utter nonsense.
I am not completely in disagreement with you, but you have to realize, you confuse me with how you use certain words in a sentence. It could be generational?

hard work is hard work , and yes I applaud anyone in any profession for it.

But, I’m sticking to high level of sport!

you said ‘hard work builds skill

hard work , does not give you skill , it enhances ones skill. You can work hard, have little to no skill and still make it to the show with a great work ethic, Jared Jeffries being the perfect example.

and in reference to Randle, to me, you make it sound like he just learned how to shoot within the last year because he decided to do 2000 reps a day? That’s just wrong.

You keep saying ‘you earn confidence ,
confidence is a must, must be in you, has to be instilled in you at a very young age by parents , guardians, t ball coach, etc lol.

if you need to earn confidence at the highest level, you’re in trouble.

Haha.

You just completely contradicted yourself.

How did Randle improve then?

Enhancing skill vs building skill is semantics. either way, the point is that skill level is improving. Which is all I have been saying from the jump.

Same shit , different post.

He did not improve himself. He is more comfortable, more relaxed in an environment that suits him. Randle, is an complete player. He has all the tools!

That was an insanely sick 1st half by Knicks !!! Down 16, come all the way back within 2, goes back and fourth , then TO after TO by both teams , Knicks get ball back 3 .2 seconds after shot clock violation, and rose shoots 3 from 40 ft out to take half time lead.

Knicks 81-78 after 3, and thibs was seen leaving court to get some Tums...

I don’t know how he can stomach this out of control play... does rose ever not leave his feet on a pass play? Will Barret realize he ain’t MJ? Will Burks ever get his shot back? will Noel ever hit a put back from underneath basket?

stay tuned..

Knicks play desperate ball when they are down , and they play same way up.
they just gave up a 9 pt lead in a little over a minutes play.

if and when they decide to get that under control is when you will see this team in PS.
this is insane

I can’t stand the look or play of sabonis. He is dirty! He travels every time he has ball. Stick his head in on defense, cries to ref when he blatantly grabs on to randles jersey...

Ooh, aren't you a feisty one!

Hanging outside all those high schools sure did boost your trash talk!
Sorry ms. I never hung out anywhere . I was either in a gym or on field working towards something.

Saying Julius Randle hasn’t improved his skills is maybe the dumbest opinion I have ever seen on these boards.

Congrats!

So to be clear, your position is that Randle did not enhance his skill at all. He was always a good shooter and the fact that his 3 point percentage is up 14% from last season is due exclusively the a more relaxed environment?

AND to boot, you think Thibs had a more relaxed environment than Fizzdale who you routinely blasted for not holding players accountable?

You can’t actually believe the things you are posting.

Knicks TCOB against Indiana. Now at .500 on the season. (17-17)

That was a fun game to watch. Glad they won.

Hope they don't disappear in Motown tomorrow night in the 2nd game of a B2B.
