Official 2017 Knicks Offseason thread, Phil Jackson gone

I'm probably KP's biggest supporter, but holy **** he's been trash. 1 rebound games, missing wide open shots, taking terrible ISO shots, looks lost defensively sometimes. Literally looks like a rookie would. Hope he gets his **** together, seems more of a mental thing to me than a physical one.
 
 
Yo @amel223  how many D. Rose jerseys you buy this year man?

Seriously, how does this dude Rose have so many stans? 
Wade?

Knicks thread peeps,

I am currently looking for two tickets for the Knicks vs Spurs game on February 12th and wanted to see if anyone here has tickets that they would be willing to part with before I venture out to stub hub and seat geek.


Thanks in advance.
 
he prally doesnt get why hes so popular in general... but he was the first pick in the nba, former mvp and was a really good player until injuries and even now hes pretty decent... its not like hes a random player like thad young thats top 10 in jersey sales
 
Over the last 8 games, since his unexcused absence, he's averaging 22 and 5 on 50 percent shooting...and with the exception of the last game he has cut down on turnovers.


I can see he will never win with yall. Maybe it's cuz he played for the Bulls? Maybe it's cuz the Knicks are losing?


Sigh

Idk. But It's whatever at this point.

these knicks fans want blood..... you know he wasnt a traditional pg..... you know he has deficiency in defense lol.... you know he likes to attack the rim............ and thats what he has been in ny


he has been efficient when it comes to his scoring..... gets to the basket at ease....... he doesnt over shoot........




if i was drose i wouldnt play deffense on this team..... i need to be healthy for my next max contract , lol
 
Maybe it's cuz Knicks fans can't get past his name? Maybe it's cuz he's not playing as good as he used to? Idk, I don't get it.

I feel like if he was some random dude that the Knicks drafted this past summer he would be getting a lot of love putting the numbers he's putting up.

But he's literally on the same level as Joakim Noah with the amount of love he's getting in this thread.

I can leave the thread, just don't @ me again

Smh. You are a true fan bro. I'll give u that.

But when i think of a point guard, i think of the VOCAL floor leader, penetrator, distributor, shooter and defensively a guy that keeps his man in front of him.

Rose does some GREAT things on the court. None of the things that he does great are in that list except penetrate.

I want my PG to get the others going early and create confidence in the role players by getting them easy baskets, in turn this will motivate them to play harder in other aspects (which i feel DRose is CAPABLE of but just doesn't). Fees the hot hand. Find mismatches (Rose never seems to be thinking or trying to read anything to find open teammates. If he sees an opening its for him to the lane).

With all that said, rose is still the best lead guard we've had in years and i like his determination to be aggressive and score. Thats why i said bring him off the bench to hunt for that 20+ points. He wont have any other responsibility and EVERYONE would love him for just coming in as instant offense. Hes perfect for it.

Rose has either looked off or just plain didnt see so many open shooters and cutters the whole season. Guys will stop cutting and getting open after a while of being open and not getting the ball. His penetration is just a notch better to watch then the iso Melo, only cause he still has a lot of bounce left and can finish with the best of them. Hes just not the pg we need with this team or going foward. We have guys on this team that would flourish with a guy like John Wall.

Shoot, gimme Rubio out there wit this squad and we are better by atleast 4 games.

I appreciate your post but Derrick literally can't win.

You speak of Derrick needing to be more vocal and when he tried to do that for one defensive possession last game, someone in here posted complaining about it.

You speak of Derrick needing to find someone the ball on the mismatch and that's exactly how Carmelo was able to hit the go ahead shot last game. He found Melo on the switch.

More and more, Derrick is being played off ball with Jennings facilitating the offense. You speak of Derrick being praised if his responsibility was just to score. That's what his responsibility has been, more and more lately but he gets no love.

I like having amel here. If I were a Melo Stan I probably wouldn't just so I can blame D Rose without any counter-points. Son is more committed to watching Knick games than 75% of us and it'll prob be one season.

amel seems like a good dude.

He just has the blinders on OD.

He's a Rose fan first and foremost and it's blinding him from seeing his deficiencies with this team.
