-The New York Knicks 2013-2014 Season Thread-

Yep that's what you need to blow it up and trade Melo and Tyson for picks. It won't be early 1st rounders but it will be first rounders.

Maybe trade Beno for a 2nd rounder in this years draft and then if possible, buy one also.

The Bargnani trade really put us in a bind leaving us no assets this year. If we had this year without Bargnani, we would be looking at a 1st round pick to end this year

 

Since you know the basketball side of things stinks for the Knicks, here's a cool article on celebrity row seating

I'm trying to look and see who causes the most switches/lost assignment. Felton isn't looking good right now, but it could be my bias against his play this year

 

The problem is Felton gets lost, then every other Knick has to scramble to help him. It causes a switch immediately in the shot clock creating time for the opposition to take advantage of a mismatch.

 

Yikes Tyson is just playing bad. When Tyson plays bad defensively, all hope is lost

 

Knicks down 7 after 1. Defense was poor, offense not terrible. Placing Bargnani behind the 3 point line and letting him drive is much better than him shooting 3s

The Knicks strategy of leaving people open from 3 has backfired this quarter

 

Woodson desperately staying away from the 2 PG lineup so far.

Beno and Toure have not seen time, but Tyler has

 

Melo 0-5. JR passed up an open 3 on a fast break and passed to Melo for an open 3 and he missed. Get another fast break right after and JR drills the 3.

Knicks down 5. The Knicks are doing a good job pushing off of the 76ers turnovers. Since their half court offense sucks at getting open looks, it's key to find other ways

 

Knicks played zone D and it worked!!

 

JR switch on no screen confuses Shump, gives up a 3

 

Knicks switch twice so Turner is on Chandler, drills jumper

 

Knicks down 61-56 at half. Evan Turner is on fire. Knicks playing to Philly's pace.

 

Felton's alive offensively! Knciks tied the game at 65

 

Lazy turnovers give the lead back to PHI, down 6.

 

Bargnani takes a hard fall onto the court trying to dunk it over some defenders

 

JR smith starts off the 4th with a bang, Bargs chips in, and the THJ with a 3 point play

 

I'm real confused with Pablo out there, why the offense doesn't initiate with him
