I'm starting to like this Knicks team. They're fun to watch. Guys are ok being role players, or trying to get KP good opportunities. Seems to be a lot of chemistry, these guys just all get along and want to do whatever it take to win.

I'm afraid for when Noah comes back, one of these players playing their ass off is going to lose time.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Also, fuck Phil Jackson. Almost traded KP. Still bugs me.

I doubt Horny fucks up the rotation just to get Joakim minutes.. shit Willy has ride the bench all year cause OQuinn has played so well.. honestly I'd be surprised to see Noah much..

I still think he can really help us though

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I just don't wanna see Kyle lose minutes. I really hope he doesnt.

Though it sounds like Noah is cool with whatever role he has.

Also Willy isn't helping himself when he gets in the game and plays poorly. He's gotta take advantage of whatever opportunities he gets.

Dotson looked good tonight too.

Lonzo is a rebound hunter

But unlike westbrook, not an assist hunter

He was a believer tho and drafted him when all the bums doubted KP

Everybody know this lol

Robin Lopez would be a nice piece on a contending team. Bulls need to try to get something for him.

Cash Considerations hasn't contributed at all so far this season.

LeGM , LeCoach , LeGoat but dont you dare blame him when the Cavs struggle or lose

Bosox is not gonna like this but i gotta put him back to earth

Celtics madly overachieving imo

Sixers
Knicks
Bucks
Heat
Spurs
Kings
Thunder
Magic
Hawks
Lakers
Charlotte

These are the teams they beat

Out of those, i see two good opponents. Bucks and Spurs

One would even argue that Spurs dont have Kawhi, manu/parker didnt play and Rudy was just getting back to form and only played a lil bit

Bucks was a good win, but they started the season 4-6 before Bledsoe and these last few wins so they werent really playing good basketball at that point

Thunder collapsed in the second half after a 20 point lead, one would argue they’re still trash until they figure it out so cant even put them with good teams

Heat are decent but they arent the same Heat that were killing it the second half of last season

Dont get me wrong, Celtics are playing nice ball but the 11-2 record is misleading imo and once the schedule gets tougher they’ll start losing alot more. They’ve had an easy schedule so far imo

 

[Mexi]

Everybody knows that

The main takeaway from the celtics is their defense and young guys playing well

Even if they lose some games, theyre still probably going to finish 1st in the east again

 

[Paulius]

The Boston Stevens

If they do finish 1st, Brad should get COY for sure

Man, Ive been hearing this now for years. Celtics were lucky to make the playoffs, Celtics are a fake 1 seed, etc.

The Celtics know how to win, pure and simple. On Friday we played a team in Charlotte that many expect to be a bottom seeded playoff team in the East, WITHOUT Gordon Hayward, Al Horford, and 46 minutes of Kyrie Irving.

And we won because of the Stevens System. Kemba (while still getting 20/11) shot 5/19 from the field. Monk (while still a kid) shot 1/8. Our defense wins us games and thats what matters (because its certainly not the offense. our three most tenured players combined for 9/42 shooting against the hornets)

I know weve had an easy schedule so far. That doesnt really matter tbh. It was somewhat a lost season when Hayward broke his leg five minutes into the season, that any hope of beating Cleveland probably dissipated from that. But now were a team thats still winning games, and its teaching the young guys how to play. Tatum and Jaylen are averaging 30min per game, and that experience theyre receiving is going to be huge for next season.

Kyrie - Jaylen - Hayward - Tatum - Horford in 2018 is going to be filthy. This season is all about development for next year, so i dont care about being overrated. After a while, if you finish the season with a Top 3 record in the conference for three straight seasons (and potentially again this year too), are you really overrated still, or just underlooked?
