SMC Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Here we are for the new season of our New York Knickerbockers!!! Opening Night is 2 days way. Post to this new thread for the upcoming season. I'm most exited for KP's and Ntilikina's development. Prediction wise, I thought the Knicks could get the 4th seed. Man, was I wrong. This year, I think they're a lottery team between the 3rd and 8th worst records. Their defense is so bad that even if they put up a lot of points, they'll give up a ton more.

SMC Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 BTW, someone broke ESPN's NBA Trade Machine with a Bucks-Knicks trade. Look at the projected win improvement. Try it yourself, it comes up the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hornacek is not long for this coaching job if it's a lottery team giving big minutes to Thomas and O'Quin.

Knicks had a clear edge on the boards anytime O’Quinn was subbing for Kanter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 KP looks strong late in games, which is a good sign for him for the rest of the season. They just need to get Ntilikina healthy and in the gym to build up his body. BTW, did you guys see that Dennis Smith Jr. has missed the last 2 games because his ACL knee swelled up after only playing 1 game. That's a major red flag for a 19 yr old. Healthy, he'd have been the pick for Knicks IMO, but his agent did't let the Knicks get the medical records on his knee. The irony here is that while Ntilikina has missed time, so has Smith and Mitchell and Monk have had poor outings thus far. Another reason why we can't pass early judgments on guards. BTW, OKC is 1-2 with Melo leading the team in shots and scoring. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Bledsoe is meh, but the PG situation is a mess. Knicks have a logjam of bigs. WHG in the doghouse is weird. Hardaway was such a silly signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Suns in a pickle over Bledsoe. Multiple reports about teams that called Suns saying the Suns asking price is crazy. Willy isn't in dog house. Kanter and O'Quinn are simply outplaying him. The 3 top PERs on the team (all over 24 PER) are KP, Kanter and O'Quinn. This raises O'Quinn's value and he'll be traded to make room for Willy, but Willy has to up his D. Kanter isn't good at D, but he is currently a better version of Willy.

Unlike the nfl where players are 21-23 when they are rookies these nba rookies are only 19.
