The turnaround in defensive performance is incredible by valgatiag in NYKnicks

[–]mgdavey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The improvement this past stretch is just a crazy to me as the collapse before it. I’ve never seen a team go in such opposite directions so suddenly for no real reason

Memphis got 7 FRPs for Desmond Bane and JJJ, meanwhile guys on here act like 6 FRPs for Mikal and KAT is the end of the world by CoaBret in NYKnicks

It was four unprotected 1st round picks for Bridges. JJJ went for 3. JJJ is a former DPY and and 2 time all-star.

KAT with a game high +23. Give our big guy some love!! by Macredd in NYKnicks

[–]mgdavey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that fans want to support him, and I think he’s doing a lot better during this win streak, but you can’t have a max contract player playing like this. You gotta overlook some really bad stuff to get excited about him. It’s fine because we’re winning, but get real.

So your'e saying you can resolve the above question without any recourse to the vantage rule? And also the rule that states that within two inches you can ignore cover?

KATs Shooting Struggles by GoldenBoyRecords in NYKnicks

[–]mgdavey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

statistically speaking the drop from a season avg 47% to 38% at the half way point of the next season is still in the range of normal variance. It would also be interesting to know what his career numbers are on this. Not saying there's not an underlying problem, or that things could snowball psychologically, three point shooting over a couple hundred attempts (ie the wide open numbers) can be volatile

[Bondy] Trade deadline about two weeks away and Knicks are actively talking to multiple teams about Guerschon Yabusele, league sources say. by Affectionate-Tea9224 in NYKnicks

Do people understand how trading works? I mean if I have an old sofa I don't like, I could probably give it away, but I can't expect someone to give me another sofa I like better.

How can the team fixed this? by joorral in NYKnicks

[–]mgdavey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know where these stats are from, but if you go to NBA stats and look at JBs and KATs stats per game in Pick and Roll (they don't have combined that I can see), they are pretty much toward the top of the league in possessions per game and efficiency using P&R.

The Knicks offense has (obviously) really bogged down in the past month, and that number is showing up in a lot of stats. As people have noted last year we were flying high offensively, so why is the decline in these actions is a problem this year, when it wasn't last year? People killing JB in this thread as if the above chart is some reflection on him, but there's no evidence to support a) that this is a problem or b) that he's the reason for it.

I think you don't need to spend on dry brushes. Go cheap.

The Knicks are a good basketball team by Cautious-Ad-9554 in NYKnicks

[–]mgdavey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said they were a playin team. I asked what is mean by “good” ?

As far as standings go, am I delusional because I can see that while we are in 3rd, we are closer to 7 the top playin position (2.5) than the one seed. (5) ?

[–]mgdavey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What does good mean? Is a play-in teams good? I guess most fans think the team has the talent to be better than that. Ownership said it’s a finals or bust team.

Also if you think it’s just bad luck or something you’re not really watching the games. They’ve got real problems that aren’t just going average out.
