We need to use this for Grimes.

Nets have talent but it’s mostly old talent

I remember it very well. The Knick haters in the media giggling non stop for months

You guys still don’t think the draft isn’t rigged eh? We had the second worst record in 2014, No top 3 pick. Worst record in 2017 and barely got the 3 pick meanwhile the pelicans have won the draft lottery twice in ten years, the lakers pretty much get top 3 picks at will

I am still leaning on the side that it is not rigged but there are a lot of strange draft lotteries. Cleveland won the Lebron draft. The Bull won the Rose draft. The Lakers moving up in the draft when they needed assets to trade for AD. The Pels winning the draft after trading AD. Cleveland winning multiple drafts after Lebron left. Wolves constantly winning drafts. The Grizz huge jump to get Ja. All these events seem a little fishy. In the end I just think our luck is the worst.

Amazing how quickly time passes by- 3 seasons of failure since they signed with the Nets! Everyone thought they’d have 2 chips by now.
Watching the Heat beat them, has been very entertaining- I’d forgotten how annoying Blake Griffin is, but even in his few minutes he reminded me quickly with some shameless flopping.
Watched the Jazz vs mavs game too and still don’t understand how the Mavs lost- the refs gave the jazz 42 FT’s to try and help them but they shot terribly at the line. The Jazz fans and players just seem like they have no oomf whatsoever these playoffs- was hoping the Mavs would put them out of their misery asap, so they can blow that s*** up.
Still think if the Jazz deal D-Mitch, he goes to the Heat for a deal around Herro and Robinson.

I was sceptical too until last year when I jokingly started that thread where I predicted the lottery results if the draft was rigged, and was mainly right😂 I said the raptors would get a top 4 pick as reward for agreeing to play in Tampa last season.
Still, until we know for sure, I agree, if you have a bad record with 20 or 15 games to go, I’d rather tank then, rather than try to win those meaningless games, only to then have to tank the entire next season to give yourself the best shot of getting a top 4 pick, because you couldn’t sufficiently upgrade the roster with top pick talent in the offseason (because you ended up picking late lottery).

I’m still scratching my head the audacity of David Stern rigging the 1993 draft 1 year after the Magic got Shaq
If people are dumb enough to still think the nba draft is and was never rigged. No wonder these corporations and bankers think they can get away with anything

What happened during that draft? I was too young back then so I have no idea what was fishy about it.
clean -- he must be going with orl missed the playoffs after getting shaq 1-1, and then with the worst odds, got 1-1 again.

Stern dropped the ping pong ball, and then pulled one out of his mouth. The slight of hand was pretty convincing.
This first round of the playoffs has had some very enjoyable games. I know he’s flawed, but I am rooting for Towns after what he went through with his mom and family with covid, plus can’t help but like Edwards- don’t trust the Twolves not to mess this up, but they’re punching above their weight and are unpredictable but fun

The thing about Grizz is they are so young and athletic. They can run most teams out of the gym. The worst team they could have faced was another talented young and athletic team like Minny. They cancel out a lot of each others positives. Minny's problem is they are pretty low IQ. They make a ton of dumb mistakes. If they had cut down on those mistakes they could have had a commanding lead in this series.
It's crazy how many young players are playing a huge part of winning this season. The Pels rookies look like vets in the playoffs.
He is destroying 3's like a rookie Mitch.
So far what I love in NBA lost season for knicks
Is:
Celtics - 3
Nets. - 0
NBA I LOVE this game
