Official 2017 Knicks Offseason thread, Phil Jackson gone

[GaBeGRaMz]

Melo played like a top 10 player tonight. He made big defensive plays, had a big rebounding game and hit big shots.

Good feels.

^^^^ agreed, nothing we can do about the money at this point

And he made two passes down the stretch that I didn't think he was capable of lol

Before I go to bed tonight I'm gonna pray for an amnesty clause. That contract kills our potential flexibility in the next few years in free agency

Feels good seeing Melo do it, gettin tired of the bored football and baseball fans clicking their remotes on MSG and wanting to get rid of him cause they have nothing else to talk about ...

KP is a star , I'm convinced

D Rose gettin comfy

 

[you go boy]

i think the knicks signed noah to fill that gap after trading lopez and felt he was easy to sign since thats derrick boy and hes from NY... i thought he would have a bounce back year but nope... its still 2 early to tell... i have faith he will play better later on

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Love that we had to essentially win this game twice and did. Those phantom and ones ruined a good night from the referees

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Yo the Knicks had like 5 clutch blocks man

Crazy

The fact that KP got two huge ones (and high difficulty blocks at that) with 5 flours blow my mind. 'It to mention all the shots he altered downlow by just standing with his arms extended. Blew me away how conscious of the situation he was.

Great game. Glad to have you watching too. I know a couple Bulls fans who are rooting for Rose on NY now. Odd being able to cheer together with a Bulls fan.

I really don't have that faith. Noah been a shell of a shell of himself, even before this season

Great game for us. Melo KP Rose all stepped up big time. Our D picked up in the second half. Love seeing KP get aggressive in the paint man!
That T on Hornacek set it off!

31 year old who's been declining physically every year and doesn't even have the game to compliment those around him.

Don't think he's bouncing back.

Word. Forgot to add the passes to Willy in the clutch.

But nah, Melo is definetly a capable passer. Ive seen some amazing passes from him since he been on the Knicks. Hes an above average passer for sure. Just not consistent enough to be known for it.

 

[you go boy]

^ well just like rose is playing well but not MVP level i expect the same from noah... obviously he wont be his old self but put up decent numbers...i just want him to defend and rebound.... if he can add 10 points to that which i dont expect that would be dope

Yea that's the thing.

Noah just looks like he doesn't have it anymore.

Like a shot boxer.

Every button Hornacek has pushed this season is the right one.

Whether it's staggering the starters, keeping the hot hand in the game, or a tech he's always aware of the situation. Best coach we've had in a long time.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

We really should entertain a Casspi for Pookie trade

 

[goldenchild9]

^ Fact.

Love his temperament on the sidelines too.

we are really good at home which is satisfying for us fans who cheer at home or live at the game win or lose... if you think about it we were suppose to win that jazz game but gave it away so in reality we should of only lost once at home to the rockets... we are finally becoming denominate at home

That's a perfect analogy. Phil really goofed with Noah lol. I was screaming when I heard about the signing.

I think our bench is alright tbh.

Jennings is playing well in his role, Holiday/Kuz are solid wings, Willy is a nice piece, & KOQ can do good things sometimes.

Fat Melo is washed B

 

[gridebounca11]

we need to come down to charlotte north carolina and give these young boys a good old yankee spankin .

FOH with all that razzle dazzle. aint got no stars. plus marvin williams probably doubtful for the game. take advantage !

 

[kingfoamnyc]

I smell 25 & 10 for KP tomorrow

 

[ny mavurs]

Great ******* win!
