Official 2017-2018 Knicks season thread

Ya'll cry too much.
When the season started i thought we'd be decent
Everyone was saying we have the worst roster in the league.
We're 17-18, KP, Frank & Timmy all missed some games at that.
7 new players.
3 games away from 4th place.

Chill.

Hopefully Frank is staring soon, JJ time is up.

Yeah, it would've been crazy to start him right away cuz he needed to get his feet wet but I say by after the trade deadline he should be starting the rest of the season.

I'm slowly starting to turn on Hornycheck. This is unacceptable.....

 

[floodarea]

We need Hardaway back desparately

 

[you go boy]

It's not like we are efficient with the three pointers anyway. I'm fine with the mid range shots cuz we suck at 3s period

 

[ballinsam23]

Frank, THJ, Lee, KP, McDermott

All capable of hitting multiple 3s a game. Zero reasons why we should be dead last in the league in attempts. As a team we're 18th in the league at (35.8%). If we're looking at percentages, the Pacers are 1st (38.5%) in the league and you can't tell me they have better shooters. The Pelicans take 8 more 3s than us and they have no 3pt shooters.

Say we take 30 3's a game and make 11 of them. That's 33 points on 36% shooting. We'd have to make 16/30 2's to get 32 points (53%). We'd have 1 more point while shooting nearly 20% worse.

The percentages are in your favor if you prioritize 3's over 2's.

 

[Master Zik]

We not making 11 3s a game consistently.. Especially without THJR.

Lauri Markannen might end up being better than KP

 

[ballinsam23]

Maybe. Once teams start keying in on you, thats when you know who has the "it" factor.

If Kris Dunn keeps this up, with Lavine + Lauri + whoever they draft this year, they have a legit future.

Porzingis is a better defender now than Markkanen will ever be

 

[ballinsam23]

Yea that's what separates KP from Towns, Lauri, and all these other new age big men.

I remember when I said that was the guy I wanted at 8 and that him and KP would be a revolutionary 4/5 combo and got laughed at. Heh.

 

[ballinsam23]

We'd be the worst rebounding team in the league and with no actual PG. Just none stop isos between those 2.

You're crazy if you're not taking Frank 10/10 times at this point

 

[nick.]

It's way too early to make definitive statements about who we should/shouldn't have taken.

I really, really want to see Frank & Porzingis in the lineup at the same time for 20+ minutes a night. Frank is the only PG that consistently looks to get the best look for Porzingis.

 

[you go boy]

We needed a PG for the draft. Kinda wish we drafted Mitchell though

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I'm slowly starting to turn on Hornycheck. This is unacceptable.....

Long as our young guys flourish and learn in the system, they could shoot skyhooks all game for all I care.

 

[floodarea]

Gotta good feeling about tonight for some reason

 

[naijaboy]

KP is developing a bad habit not getting back on defense.

 

[floodarea]

I like the way KP is playing offensively so far
