RutgersJetFan Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 35 minutes ago, SMC said: I only caught the overtime because I too, had a "spending time together" night with my wife, but for her holiday party. I have to say,it was the best holiday party I've ever went to. My wife works in a children's psychiatric center run by the State. After consolidation with other state-run kid psych hospitals in the city they starting having a joint holiday party in different locations throughout the five boroughs. My wife's boss said F-that and threw her own holiday party for her unit of 8 employees. She held it at this catering hall in Long Island and it was awesome (and a great money making idea for the hall). It was like having the best parts of a wedding reception. Companies rent tables and there is a cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. It's $70 a head and it's unlimited food and alcohol from 7 to 11:30 pm. There were about 10 to 15 companies there last night and it was a blast. As for the game, I'm not too upset. They can get out of this road trip 3-2 I'll be happy. I'm happy with KP. Melo's crappy shooting is again leading to losses. The biggest issue is Rose's health. Jennings is simply not a starting caliber PG anymore because of his decision making. It's fairly clear that the success of the Knicks depends on us watching the games and posting insightful and witty comments on this board. I don't understand why spouses can't grasp that.

I tried explaining that you don't **** with a winning streak (that Cavs game didn't count), but alas, the perils of being wed to a nurse and her schedule. Good job honey.

SMC Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Good news on the new labor deal. I'm glad they finally put in "2 way contracts" with the roster going from 15 to 17 so there won't be a Chasson Randle situation again. Under the new rule, teams have 2 additional slots for "2 way contracts" like there is in NHL--a player will be paid the NBA minimum salary when on the team and the DLeague salary when sent down. That way, under this rule, the Knicks would have been able to shuffle Randle back and forth between NBA and DLeague without having to waive him and hope no one picks him up before sending him down (as they did, but he was injured so no one picked him up). The current rule made no sense and hampers player development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdetroit Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Knicks need Rose back. I said I'd be happy with 2-3 on the west coast trip and I am but Knicks need to get some W's now that they go back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to keep winning at home. Noah's days as a starter are numbered. They also need to sign Chason Randle off D League. They need guard help and N'Dour is useless on the team.

When all are on the floor and 2 of those 3 are hitting shots I think this team can keep up offensively with anyone in the league not named the Cavs or Golden State. Every night is such a roll of the dice with that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about as awful? His rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals are down and his fouls are up from last year's rookie-excuse numbers. He is exactly the same as every other fake-good dipsh*t this franchise has hitched its wagon to for the last twenty years. He scores a lot of points inefficiently and that's pretty much it. But because he does it while being a different shape and size and color than the others he's a precious unicorn. He's still young. He will get better and a quantum leap is obviously a possibility. But right now awful is precisely the word for Porzingis' s current play and the team's long term outlook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
