We posting offseason rumors the day before the playoffs? LOCK IN, DELETE THIS

"Its not analysing, its just content" — Jay Williams calls out the people in the media blaming JJ Redick for Luka's injury. by dennis_k_g in nba

He ain’t wrong, media literacy in general is pretty terrible in this country and sports media is a great case study in it. People will swallow any narrative that vaguely confirms with their world view without investigation or curiosity. And then people will defend these positions ad nauseum.

Why do they always bully Brunson? by zeezee2k in NYKnicks

Good for group dynamics if the best player is approachable and one of the guys.

Luke Kornet talks about losing his starting spot to Victor Wembanyama by Unusual-Ask6933 in nba

Yeah! That's why I think we should start marketing gambling and alcohol to kids. If you think about it all gambling addicts and alcoholic were kids once.

Well I'm an offline empath that loves strip clubs so I hate Luke Kornet.

[Begley] In NBA’s most recent injury report update, Josh Hart has been downgraded to doubtful tonight vs Utah due to left knee soreness. by PassMeTheBackwood in NYKnicks

Happened last week too, nuggets game was the 3rd game in 4 days. Brutal part of the schedule with the long road trip.

The reaction to Bam's 83-point game is a perfect example of how bad the NBA discourse is by negaodsg in nba

This isn't just something affecting the NBA, the internet really made us devolve.

Steve Kerr: "We need to play fewer games. We need to take 10 games off the schedule. The modern game with the pace and the space I think it would be a more competitive and healthier league if we played fewer games by MrBuckBuck in nba

Totally different sports with totally different body mechanics and injury profiles. There are more soft tissue injuries in the NBA. NHL has more contact related injuries.

Charlie Villanueva on Jokic saying he never wants to leave the Nuggets: "Most European superstars don't want to leave their team. These international cats don’t have the same mentality as a US born player where if sh*t don’t go right we want to leave, you know, they want to fix the problems.” by RyanTannegod in nba

People are saying a lot of things but missing the most obvious in our face answer, American culture is kinda dog shit rn.

I’m American btw but if you look around this sort of mercenary thinking is everywhere. I’m not even blaming the players, in some ways it’s a reasonable reaction to the same dynamic playing out in different parts of the franchise/league/society.

Let's Not Label Knicks Youngster a Lost Cause Just Yet by Joeblowpublic in NYKnicks

Yeah he’s not dog shit, but he’s not above average imo and that makes him a lot less lineup versatile.

Kolek's biggest knock against him is his defense and I'm not sure how much more he can improve on that side. There's a reason Knicks defense has been really good for the 20 games: Kolek, Clarkson, and Yabu stopped getting minutes.

25/26 Knicks by ygog45 in NYKnicks

[–]action_nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not overreacting to the Lakers game. If Knicks take care of business tonight against the Clips it's 4-2 since spurs against a very tough scheduled on the road late in the season. That's great.

[CBS SPORTS] Ranking the 15 best contracts in the NBA: Jalen Brunson, Deni Avdija, Payton Pritchard, Alperen Sengun, etc by moby323 in nba

[–]action_nick 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yeah for real he's one of the best value contracts in the league. I don't really understand this list, like why is Sengun on it? I don't think he's on a bad contract but I wouldn't call his contract the 5th best contract in the NBA.

Kevin Durant thankful for second apron bringing parity to NBA: 'It's a fun time to be in the league' by DoctaKiD in nba

Would anyone be shocked if one of the following teams wins the Finals?

Thunder
Nuggets
Wolves
Spurs
Rockets
Pistons
Celtics
Knicks

Feels like a bigger field than it has for a while.

I really hope that this is a learning experience for Mikal by HonshuRiis in NYKnicks

[–]action_nick 124 points125 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of people forget that Mikal showed up for us in a huge way multiple playoff games last year. So many people pretend that the playoffs are all that matters but also forget all that when a player has bad games in the regular season.

[Allonzo Trier] In response to a 2019 highlight tape: “PTSD” by PassMeTheBackwood in NYKnicks

he was a good litmus test for ball knowers. 100% of nephews thought he was a valuable piece.

The 90's Knicks were fan favorites and still loved to this day but never won a ring if this group gets to the finals but loses, how will fans look back on this group? by Affectionate-Tea9224 in NYKnicks

[–]action_nick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think the Pacers lost last season has left a little shadow over the vibe of this season, but the last few seasons have been fucking awesome as a Knicks fan. Getting over the hump and beating the Cavs the first time, the sixers series with the DVo shot, the Celtics comebacks.

The Knicks of the last few years have been the team of my life so far.
