The 2012 New York Knicks: The Filler Year?

Re: The 2012 New York Knicks: The Filler Year?

This...32 is way too many. It's like a catch 22, of course I want us to win but if we do the chances Pringles stays increases.

Part of me hopes the Knicks tank so Dolan will have no choice but to fire Pringles and hire Phil Jackson. Maybe I'm too old school, but I like basketball to be played inside-out. It's painful watching these fools on offense. And I've had enough of Toney Douglas.

Why was Jeremy Lin awful? I at least saw him penetrate and make some nice passes while he was in. He barely played.

In that game (Sacto) Dude came in and played like he never played basketball before. He played 4 minutes, went 0/1, had 2 turnovers, and committed 4 fouls. He drove into traffic and looked like he had no clue what to do with the basketball.

Honestly, I rather have signed Arenas for the Vet's min, he would have to be better than Bibby and Lin. We could make him stay in the visitor's locker room and sit alone in front of the scorer's table all game so he doesn't bring any voodoo upon our players.

I didnt realize he commited turnovers. I just figure dudes gotta be a better PG than douglas and bibby.

Did anyone pick up Arenas???

This is embarrassing. At least this will officially start the Pringles watch I'd think.

I didn't start watching until late in the third, what did Amar'e have on the night?

He had 25-12. Played alright offensively, pretty poor on defense. Got embarrassed by Diaw, Mullens, and DJ White.

Toney Douglas has to go.

Not less minutes. Not permanently benched.

Gone. Forever. Go. Like Nate Robinson. I don't want that man on the Garden court anymore.

He's terrible.

Re: The 2012 New York Knicks: The Filler Year?

This team has soo many problems i dont know where to start. Terrible defense and a freestyle offense. wtf is up with that?

every team we play, gets easy baskets off of cuts and picks and halfcourt sets. Why can't the Knicks do that?!

I swear it seems like i've never seen the Knicks run a succesfull play.

They're getting outrebounded too. Chandler NEEDS to average at least 10 boards a game. Dude averages 6.8 rebounds a game. wtf!

The Bobcats? C'mon man.

EDIT: What's the PG class in 2012 looking like? I mean maybe Shumpert at 1 and Fields at 2?

[bigfnjoe96]

They are not communicating on defense. Too much double teaming once penetration happens, which leads to open men on the wings for open J's.

Offensively not enough moving, picks which create easy baskets. We have no fast break @ all because TD is terrible as a PG.

@ least Imán looked good last night.
On to the next 1

PG class this year is weak. We don't even have a first round pick this year I don't think.

Shump only had cramps last night. I thought he tweaked his knee, thank God he didn't. He's gonna be a star for us, though.

@Vast, we actually ran good plays out of timeouts last night. We just seem horrible at getting any consistent, fluid offense though. A lot of that is on Toney Douglas's inability to effectively run the P&R because that's what D'Antoni's offense has always been based off of.

An out-of-shape Boris Diaw torched the Knicks. And the Mullins kid goes 6-for-8 - WTH????

From what I've seen of Fields, his confidence is totally shot.

Shump is definitely gonna be a baller. He's already my favorite Knick.

I don't know if we can place all the blame on TD. I remember last year when we had Felton, we were complaining of a lack of Pick and rolls.

1 thing I noticed about Amar'e is that he never sets a good pick. He pretends to pick and then just rolls. WHich defeats the purpose of the PnR imo.

[CMH]

But wasn't Amar'e good at PnR when he was in Phoenix?

Felton didn't run the pick and roll enough I think was our complaint. He had a lot of high assists nights finding Stoudemire inside off it.

I've noticed with Felton gone, STAT is finding himself outside a lot more or being a back-to-basket offensive player which he is not.

He needs to move around. I'm not sure why having Melo would keep STAT from running unless it's because the team is being taught to stand away from the paint when Melo isos.

Even if Douglas is incapable of running the play, Melo should be looking forward to running it himself with Stoudemire.

Just really confusing to watch this team not take advantage of their strengths.

Amare also had Nash as his PG.
