By reilo Go To PostHe had nerve damage in his neck from being hit by Bogut, no?TJ Ford? I think it all started with that dirty foul from Horford. From there he was just grew less able to protect himself from basic stuff. I remember just getting boxed out by Baron Davis damn near ended him too.
By n8 dogg Go To PostWhewkemba got paid he won
If the Knicks didn’t get Fournier they’d be under .500 and out of the play in game currently
Kemba going out sad but $$$$$$$ so :( x $)
That Celtics ECF choke was Haywards and Kembas only chance to make the finals 😬

I fucking hate watching this Lakers team, there is nothing fun about them. I knew this season was going to be rough but I didn't imagine this level of fuckery
By Pac-12 Go To PostRemember when folks gave Charlotte hell for not giving Kemba the max. Those were good times.And even though I'd like him back for the feels, Bouknight needs all white flag minutes he can get.
By reilo Go To PostAh yes, Alec Burks is surely the answerBetter offensively and defensively. Rose is out, who else do we play instead?
Unless you want to trade Lillard for last seasons Most Improved Player.

By reilo Go To PostI knew it was a big, but thought it was Bogut.everyone thinks horford is a typical soft big but he's been a dirty clown since college
Kemba :( I thought they might move him to the bench but him and Rose dont really work together as a unit. We have options though, I imagine Quickley will be the starter eventually if he keeps up his current level of play, he's really taken a step with his play making and defense,

the need for a true PG gonna trip up NY all year though. I understand being excited for IQ but dude is a flowchart PG at best. Its really time to gamble on one of these young project PGs that've been passed around or put in bad situations imo.

Not gonna lie Kemba hasn't been that awful even if its not been effective so far. On D he competes and he's positionally sound but he's not switchable at all and that has thrown a wrench into Thibs schemes. On offence he's just been deferring too much to other guys who haven't had strong starts to the season.
And for the bolded about Quickley, you could say that about him last year but that's really not the case now, he's playing with pace, getting into the lane under control and manipulating defenses. I was never high on his play making but he's really doing it. He's also a solid ass defender. I don't think he's pg1 of the future* but as a stop gap with Rose as safety blanket you could do worse (seems like I've spent all my life looking at worse).
*That would be the 21 year old break out star of the Euroleage that we have on deck.
By DY_nasty Go To Posti still wonder why jeremy lin is dwight howard tier when it comes to most disliked playersIt may be a thing where he didn't have any friends in the league coming in and then Melo saying and doing what he said and did made it even harder on him.

By Trey Go To Postlinsanity pissed off a lot of dudesits gotta be way more than that. even the refs were like fuck off lol
edit: wew this classic is still up.
lin was getting fucked up by everyone, everywhere, and no ref seent anything. i think his run with charlotte is why i still can't be bothered with a lot of the crying i see now tbh.
Wall should start over KPJ, but I don't know why he's all that bothered by it. If he can play only 15 minutes a game with the type of wind and athleticism he has, he should play elite defense and maybe improve on his offensive efficiency, all while having a better chance at staying healthy.

I remember back then you couldn't read or hear about Jeremy Lin without hearing Harvard as well. Probably more of a "see, you can be educated AND play basketball too." When they talk about Chris Paul, no one ever mentions the Wake Forest educated CP3. I'm probably reaching but it's been almost a decade now, I figure someone would have said why no one liked him so it's my most likely scenario.

So not sure it's that. Harvard is a very mediocre basketball school though.
Also, if the Knicks want Payton back they can have him.
There was definitely a lot "he's using his #harvard smarts to outplay these thugs" energy with linsanity
That wouldn't make refs dislike him so who knows.

By s y hulud Go To PostThere was definitely a lot "he's using his #harvard smarts to outplay these thugs" energy with linsanityI remember almost every time Lin did something "high iq" each commentating team would be like "there's Lin using his Harvard education!!" Shit made me roll my eyes every time.

By Red Blaster Go To Postduke is basically as selective as harvard but no one talks about how smart tyus jones iscrazy right
but its just something i've always wondered about. what did jeremy lin actually do lol
Lin didn't really have a particularly cerebral game either. His best skill was his quick first step, that's why he was out the league quick once he lost it to injuries.
Do you have to write an application for any college or how does it work? We have good top unis ranked pretty high and anyone can just go.
By DiPro Go To PostDo you have to write an application for any college or how does it work? We have good top unis ranked pretty high and anyone can just go.Yes you have to apply but Colleges/Universities can rank anywhere from "Send us your GED" to "Send us your 4.0 GPA with a list of extra-curriculars, why you deserve to go here and give us some references. Also, did your parents go here or donate money?"
By masud Go To PostLin didn't really have a particularly cerebral game either. His best skill was his quick first step, that's why he was out the league quick once he lost it to injuries.he was one of the better pnr guards in the league with us. i think his time in houston was what did him in regarding rep more than anything... but playing with harden is cursed. no one wanted to believe that at the time but its always been the case imo

Although, apparently buying your kid an athletic scholarship is somehow not permitted.
The worst part I remember about applying to unis/colleges was having to PAY for the "privilege." 50 bucks a fucking pop. No idea what it is now, probably even more fucking ridiculous.

who thought it would end like this for our pg's breh
Its not all that sad for me since I saw him burn out years ago.
Even this right here? Last Legs Kemba (Timelost). This was his final flash and everyone in Charlotte knew it deep down.

By s y hulud Go To PostRemember Chandler Parsons?Never heard of him
By DY_nasty Go To PostIts not all that sad for me since I saw him burn out years ago.Come on it's not that bad, no need to eulogize the man, he's not completely washed he's more than capable of being a good backup for a lot of teams. He's still shooting 40% from 3 on mostly pull-ups. It's just that with Rose, the Knicks aren't the team to give him that role.
