Baker! See Hornacek play the rookie in a meaningless game like this, not the entire 4th quarter of a close game.
By diehard Go To PostCurry has looked so human this year
That kind of says a lot about how legendary Curry is as a player though when he's averaging 26 PPG on 65% TS% this year.
By IWMTB19 Go To PostThat kind of says a lot about how legendary Curry is as a player though when he's averaging 26 PPG on 65% TS% this year.Well yeah, those are human numbers though.
Don't know how his free throw rate is so much higher this year though
By diehard Go To PostWell yeah, those are human numbers though.Who's close? Durant? lol
Joakim Noah looks like he should have retired two years ago and the Knicks will be paying him $53 million over the next three years after this season.
By reilo Go To PostWho's close? Durant? lolwell he went from by far #1 in PER last year to 12th this year, and his 3 point percentage dropped 5 points. Still incredible numbers but not what they were..
This Knicks roster makes negative sense considering that Porzingis is their best player. All of their other top players are so washed.
Has a team ever had an assist on every fg in a game before?: As a fan of Melo's Knicks I didn't even know it was possible to play this way. What sport is this?
Moral victory achieved
Baker with the career high 13 pts (bakers dozen) on 6-7 shooting, that boy gonna stick.

Oh…
lol
By Koko Go To PostAlmost as good as Mudiay…
how long until yall give him the trey burke treatment?
Lopez has now played nine seasons with the Nets. That’s more than any player in team history … ever.
Not in the ABA, not in the NBA, not in New Jersey, not in Brooklyn. Buck Williams played in eight. Lopez surpassed him this season.
“Ever? Really? That’s surprising. I knew I was up there but I figured there must have been some Net who was here at least 10 years,” Lopez told Kerber Thursday. “That’s crazy.”
Indeed, particularly when considering how many times he’s been in trade rumors. Bobby Marks told Woj on Wednesday’s “The Vertical” podcast that he came closest to being moved during the Dwightmare in 2012 and again in 2015 when the Nets tried to secure Reggie Jackson from the Thunder.
Trade rumors seemed to have slowed this year, or as Lopez joked Thursday, “Haven’t heard anything in like a whole day and a half.”

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostThe fact that wall isn't eligible for this new extension is crazy to melol I was wondering if he had commented on it already
John Wall has frequently been vocal in expressing his opinion of being underpaid on his five-year, $80 million max contract extension he signed in 2013 that runs through 18-19.
Under the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement, teams can sign designed players to contract extensions at 35 percent of the cap but Wall hasn't qualified for the criteria.
In order to sign that type of extension, a player has to have achieved All-NBA status, league MVP or Defensive Player of the Year.
“I feel like it’s amazing and crazy because I had my best year, like, two years ago, my second year [as an] all-star, I averaged 20 and 10 and was a starter but couldn’t make all-NBA team,” Wall said. “So I mean, you want those individual accolades but it’s to the point that [if] you get your recognition, then you get it. You only get those [individual honors] by winning. When I did and had an opportunity to win, I still didn’t make it."
Wall is averaging 24.0 points, 9.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
“We don’t play on TV a lot so a lot of people don’t get to see us play. If you don’t have NBA League Pass and stuff like that, you don’t see the things that I’m doing in the game or what we’re doing trying to win,” Wall said Thursday. “So if you ain’t checking on Twitter and stuff like that, you don’t know. All these other teams get a lot of TV games, that’s why they get these accolades from the media and fan votes. Until we get an opportunity to be on TV more, it would be tough for people to realize and see what I do.”
I think its a bit unfair that a player's ability to get a longer contract depends on the sports press's fickle opinions. Multiple all-star designations should count the same as one All-NBA. I like the rookie contract rule though, as that does help small markets.
All-NBA as the test case for this sort of thing is idiotic. The Warriors have a near all NBA team with just their starting 4 alone. There are only so many spots and tying that to contracts is idiotic.
By domino Go To PostWall never gonna learn to stop complaining about his money is he.
By domino Go To PostWall never gonna learn to stop complaining about his money is he.He shouldn't have to
By blackace Go To PostHe shouldn't have to
He's been one of the top 2 highest paid on his team since his rookie deal ended. It's a bit stupid.
I'm not a huge fan of the All NBA criteria, but it does stop someone like Rubio holding a team hostage. It's meant to stop players in that tier demanding / expecting it and threatening to move, just because his contract renewal came up first, before KAT. And forcing teams to waste their DP contracts on guys who aren't deserving.
I get the intention.
Not sure about the execution, but i get the intention.
By knux-future Go To PostWe play the Lakers on national TV?meh, Lakers haven't been the same since the injuries.
welp…can't wait to be extra salty.
I'm ready for that L and salt.
Yeah the All NBA part of the clause seems like the owners snuck it in there, so they never have to actually use it on anyone.
There's 15 players that are awarded All-NBA every year. Are we saying that more than 15 players should have this super max? I'd argue that not all 15 are worth the super max.
By reilo Go To PostThere's 15 players that are awarded All-NBA every year. Are we saying that more than 15 players should have this super max? I'd argue that not all 15 are worth the super max.They aren't, probably, and most wont' have renewals that coincide.
But if you make it regularly enough that you do it on your renewal year, you probably are one.
The last 3 seasons, here are the guards that Wall lost All NBA out to:
Harden, Curry, Paul, Westbrook, Klay, Kyrie, Damian, Lowry (2015), Parker (2014), Dragic (2014)
Tough competition.
