Knicks · Playoff time! (page 1)

Happy the Hornets won and Lamelo finally has something to show for besides turning his skin into a adolescent comic book!
Im conflicted given his idiocy over the years (on the court) and off court that is MIles Bridges. Yes, he was suspended a year and had to wait out the judicial process. Btw, I think the league got it right with that one. Funny,, when its a positive opinion "league did it right". When wrong its "Silver sucks".
As for Miami? Yeah that uni still gives me anger and outside of Riley I have no reason to hate on them anymore. Spo is not a problem and if anything Herro has grown into a respecful very good player.
I want to root for Hornets but just not quite there. Can't say I was pulling for Heat. It was a hell of a game!
Did not think Lamelo had it in him to lead/win. He proved me wrong!

Suns/Portland, Advidja!!!!! Wow........This kid really stepped up this year and 41 pts, 12 dimes and 7 rebs!
Good bench. Suns kind of suck. Im guessing they don't have their pick so they did not tank?

Predictions?

Knicks in 5 vs. Hawks. Sometimes suprises are to the upside. Hawks think Clev is better? Okey-dokey! Maybe they just think knicks are a better match up for them? I can respect that, but talk shit before? Well its on knicks to shut them up!
Hawks have nice back court going now and are fast, but knicks size could give them problems.
I do respect what Clev has done and a tandem of Harden/Donovan is some HOF shit right there. Up fron Allen/Mobley compares well to Mitch/KAT. Then they throw out shooters who get good looks becuase of it. After a rough start Clev might be better than its record? Same for us is suppose. Hope Raptors take them out! I don't see it though.

Off subject, why does Anthony Davis have a tv show? instead of whining about being disrsepcted in NOLA, LA, and Dallas, how about stay on the court or just retire with dignity if the body can't hold up!

BTW, his injuries are why a Giannis to knicks trade kind of worries me. This shit happens to very athletic players and when it does it gets ugly. I don't know if the last season was an anomoly or preview of things to come. At the same time KAT been wonderful and reliable as a knick. I think Mike Brown has dialed back his aggresive drives to the rim and he not falling as much. That has to help!

If true the regular season was the tune up/experiment for the playoffs well then let the games begin!!!!

Always great to see the cHeat get sent home!

Avdija is a stud!

KP in 28 min had a hell of a game! Can't count on him but the unicorn looked good last night.
If he is over his POTS Warriors could disrupt.

This is gonna hurt if Pablo doesn't turn it around

East 4-5 seeds have the same April 18th-26th to get 4 games in.

But if we must, perhaps NBA for ratings purposes will skew the schedule. Money talks.
These networks ponied up big money for ratings.
THink Knicks are a bigger draw then Detroit?
The Pistons-CLT/Orlando series also has 4 games in 8 day spread. They start on the 19th.
I'll watch PIstons-what ever only it goes 7 games. Or if Pistons on brink of elimination by the underdog!
Personally I do want to see a healthy Luka/Lebron vs. Durant match up.

Im thinking stuff like this raises fan expectations to higher levels. We see this "Evidence to support a belief" digested by gulible fans and if knicks don't succeed they get angry as if "it was ours to lose and they did". No credence to the opponents play. Its like "We should win" type stuff based on the tweets Martin reposts! LOL!!!!
Start on the blame thing and we go round and round again with it. So if we lose and it hurts? Blame Martin!
Lakers win, blame Silver.

Those stats that indicate knicks had a good season? They include Mikal right? Kat whining about? KAT getting offensive fouls? Brunsons over Isolations? Kolek on the bench? All the good and the bad. Yet we lose we go right to the blame game.

So lets do this as a litmus test. Give Deni a Khardasian after his wonderful season and I assume candidate for most improved.
Then see what happens?
Poor Lamar Odom and Kris Humphries! never knew what hit them.

At those numbers, he's a damn bust. What a disaster to pay someone that much when they haven't done squat

When you draft the # 1 and they are not great you need to trade them and cut your losses

Sunk Cost Theory says they should've moved on from him a while ago

He was terrible. That entire team was terrible except for Bane.

He was so terrible I started to feel bad for him.

I do not understand the role of the GM in a situation where most everyone can see a disaster in the making or a disaster situation in the making.

Giannias. Ja. JJJ traded a couple years too late. Trae. Embiid. Harden.

I really do not understand holding onto Ja, Giannis, Trae, MVP Embiid as long as their teams did. Makes zero sense. Especially in hindsight but these were readable situations.
