Wow, they actually ran that Back pick from Calderon for Porzingis that I highlighted yesterday. Nice. Porzingis didn't catch it, but keep doing it.
By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostRambis didn't downsize. Hmmm, I wonder if he's convinced that the big lineup can wear them down if they get back in transition fast enough.It didn't work. Transition killing the Knicks now.

It's fine if it didn't work. Anytime you have an attempt at the rim with your 7'3 guy, your offense did it's job.

Just because DJ didn't catch the lob for the dunk, doesn't mean it was a bad play. Run it a bunch of times, you'll convert a high percentage of those.
Knicks team keeps getting spun around they don't know up from down, left from right. Who's this new coach. What the fuck is PJ selling us. Blah blah.
They still talking about making the playoffs? Fuckin' lol.

Sasha in the pinch post again, WTF
Edit: A big in the pinch post leads to an open dunk. Revolutionary.

I still can't get over talking about the playoffs, as if squeaking in is a priority over team building.
I've seen the Wizards run a Triangle set when Nene scored on the drive. And just now ran a Flex set. Lol fascinating.

Why wouldn't squeaking in be more attractive to FA's then finishing 12th? They don't have a draft pick this year because Phil's predecessors that Gaby didn't complain about gave them all away - so what's the point of not tryin to max out wins?
By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostI still can't get over talking about the playoffs, as if squeaking in is a priority over team building.making the playoffs can definitely help build a winning and non-toxic culture. If you're talking about the Knicks then it would help them with team building as a team making the playoffs would attract FAs more than a team that doesn't.
Making the playoffs after all that's happened is going to attract FAs sure. That toxic culture isn't solved by winning, didn't that streak inform y'all of anything?
Carmelo Anthony has played 15 straight minutes to start the game...
Rambis is trying to kill the dude's knee.

16 straight minutes for Melo. That pre-All Star game push.
You still haven't answered why losing is preferable.
This is dumb, you can't run two 7 footers against this shooting lineup of the Wizards.

Dude, wtf are you arguing? You made it seem that making the playoffs was counterproductive to team building. So state your case

By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostDude, wtf are you arguing? You made it seem that making the playoffs was counterproductive to team building. So state your caseI think it's fairly obvious I find that optimism pretty incredulous given what's already happened so far.
By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostI think it's fairly obvious I find that optimism pretty incredulous given what's already happened so far.
That may be, but what you SAID, was that team building and squeaking in were mutually exclusive. Which made fuck all of sense.
Edit: Knicks are super lucky to only be down around 10 despite giving up an absurd 10 for 12 three point shooting.
I don't see the point of it, what will it accomplish? All that's answered is "winning tho", "attracting FAs", as if that environment hasn't already been established as toxic whether winning is occurring or not by the very same guy who's running the show right now, mister PJ. Or did his little spiel just not actually penetrate with some people.
Let me spell it out: unless a playoff run changes the FO, good luck in being a winning nontoxic culture.

Lol, ok buddy.
Man Washington bombing threes right now. Knicks getting suckered in watching Wall and now guarding the three.
This was a perfect offensive half for the Wizards. 10 made 3's on like 12 attempts but a plethora of fast break buckets. Knicks gotta put a clamp on this shit right away.
Edit: Hey 33MillionDollarMen - go ahead and find some quotes from Phil that suggests that he thinks the culture is toxic. Or are you just projecting nonsense after your 15th moving of the goalpost? Because if there's anything that Phil Jackson is associated with, it's non-winning super toxic cultures.

By unknown Go To Postda knicks are back.they were never there
I'm interested in hearing about this new toxic culture. Because I gotta say I'm loving not hearing Dolan's name because he did something moronic once a month.
You see Frankman, when your franchise loses 4 of their starters, and your best player leaves to take less money elsewhere because he can't stand your second best player. And when your second best player, has shown an inability to be great for an entire season without reacting immaturely to all star snubs - you are the authority on how to not be toxic in NBA FO's.

By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostNo why don't you tell us more about how Phil can do no wrong, clearly the Knicks are doing wonderful under his tutelage.
I can admit to him making mistakes if you can admit that cleaning house on the FO with at least some credibility that also got them the best draft pick in 30 years in one of the the most historically incompetent franchises under one of the most historically incompetent owners is a dumb idea.
Or maybe admit that winning and building a team aren't mutually exclusive. Let's start with the easy stuff.
By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostOh man a draft pick, all is resolved!
It's the Knicks dude. You want a guy fired for doing objectively the best job that's been done in years and years in that franchise because you don't agree with his style personally, and I'm the hack?
Say shit, then claim you didn't say shit. Claim quotes of toxic culture said by team president, then don't produce them. Claim only solution is firing the FO despite the team being more respectable now than most of the last 15 years.
Why am I even debating with a guy with negative understanding of basketball.
I know, let's bring someone else that can't keep Dolan in check so they can give away their next eight 1st and 2nd round picks for the Bargnani's and Eddy Curry's of the world. Knicks were so much better run before Phil came to town.
By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostYes, I'm making up all the stuff he said in the press conference and that tweet. Indeed. lol.
I'm asking for quotes where he said "toxic" Because what he actually said, was that the culture has taken a lot of steps in the right direction, and Derek had a lot to do with the improvement of the culture. Rambis also talked about the improving culture. So, that's why I'm asking for quotes.
And that Tweet wasn't an indictment of Fisher. His comment to go along with the coaching breakdown was about "next". Meaning, what he's looking for in his coaching candidates and why he won't just hire anyone. He even said, pre-game, that Fisher was from his coaching tree and had a lot of the same philosophies.
