Knicks · OT-NBA Season Thread-Around the NBA HORN (page 10)

Kemet @ 11/9/2018 3:11 PM
Bucks DESTROYS Warriors 134 111 .. I wanted to see a Giannis vs Green bout but Green was DNP to injury. The Warriors without Green had no defense in the paint to stop the Bucks from scoring 80 pts inside the paint last night.
The Bucks had 33 Dimes shooting 51% fga, and GS had 31 Dimes .. Both teams same-page offensive chemistry was working.
And
OKC PG Schroder win-win perfomance over the Houston Rockets 98-80 prove he's the Top Backup PG in the NBA, says Kenny Smith. Ex-Knick Carmelo Anthony shot 1-11 for 2 pts tonight .. the Rockets rotation really misses Trevor Ariza.

Can't believe we lost to the Bulls and WIZ, we're better than that

Why would you think that?

This is half a 29-win team missing its best player and best vet getting major minutes a 2nd rounder who hasn't played basketball for a year, a 2nd rounder who didn't get much PT this rookie year, a non-drafted guy, and two cast-offs.

Where does one find even moderate expectations in that?

Do you hate passive players just on the offensive end?

Knicks got a lot of passive players on the defensive end.

You hate them too?

knickd1248 likes the show not the basketball.
Frank is no-showmen. He is all business... and this is boring.

He is a true blue Knicks fan, just has strange opinion of what the team should do, given how often it hasn't worked.

Yeah, I don't get why people thought we were going to be even middling--the sense of entitlement is bizarre among some fans. We should be great! Why? Because we should be! Hopefully ends with a high pick

Some fans expect front office to magically add some great players without having any assets and cap space.
They expect all players who were bad to awful suddenly turn it around and bench players became starters.
They expect players who never play defense suddenly became good at it, stupid became smart, passive became active, bad shooters became snipers, and black holes became willing passes.
Curb your expectations!!! Expectations produce misery.

A high pick....smh....some other 18 yr old that need 5 yrs to develop, you think that's what KP and his camp wants to hear, you think that what KD wants to hear, or Kawhi, or Irving..

Josh Jackson was my #1 guy in 2017 draft and damn he is barely getting off the bench in PHX.

Doesn't appear to be able to shoot from anywhere and his position could be in ? --- still intrigued by him but new PHX coach does not appear impressed.

I thought he was going to be great, I was desperately hoping we could somehow draft him. Suns are really bad at developing players, maybe that’s played a part

Yeah - I don’t know because at same time Suns have had gu6s like Booker, Ayton even TJ Warren look fine....Jackson’s shot and b-ball IQ May be issue. Would still like to give him a shot.

Man...unless I am missing something Celtics have 4 1st rounders this year though it appears based on current records none are above # 17 which would be Celtics own pick.

The also have Kings, Memphis and Clipper picks —- right now 20, 21 and 25 because those 3 teams are playing well early.

If the othe4 3 teams keep it up Ainge loses some significant leverage with those picks that were all considered very high or lottery picks in summer

The Kings are currently on their fifth coach in six years, and Joerger is under contract through the 2019-20 season.
