Knicks vs Hornets Midlights

Listen, I’ve been saying this for the longest:

Porzingis is not the answer. He’s a nice piece but he’s not Batman material and he’d ask for a contract like one. He’d never live up to that contract. Add to that the fact that he’s 7’3 and just has a fucked up ACL, maxing him out would be a terrible mistake.

So you get rid of a potential albatross, while dumping the two you had already in Lee and Timmy. You just freed up 71 mil in cap space. That’s HUGE when you consider this FA class.

And you get a nice young piece like Dennis AND two first rounders?

Dennis is 20 years old and just got you a triple-double at MSG. He can be your PG of the future. So fuck drafting Ja. We gotta draft one of the Dukies now.

DeAndre has some value. You can get a 2nd rounder or so out of him. Do it.
Matthews is a nobody nowadays. He’s beyond washed. Just buy him out.

Unfortunately both videos need to be watched on Youtube but its worth it. Enjoy.

Highlights:

If you can lose while the young guys show progress, that’s a long term win.

This win streak is good and bad.  Good because it can potentially show free agents that the team isn’t as bad as their record. Bad because it FUCKS us in the race to the bottom.  Last thing we want is a pick outside the top 5.

This should be a pretty painless L.

One thing I want to say about the Thunder game:

Why in the world would Fiz have Tim Jr guard Paul George?  There’s no way that makes sense……..if you’re actually trying to win game…hmmmmm.  Is Fiz being a good tank driver by making bad coaching decisions or is he just being a bad coach?

On another note, I need answers:

We really need to talk about this Dallas squad.  On paper, Dallas should have won that game.  Luca Doncic and Dennis Smith Jr should have been enough combined with Barnes, Matthews. and Jordan.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH WANTING MORE FROM THIS SQUAD!!  Think on how Mitchell Robinson is progressing.  Think on how Dotson and Trier are playing.  If these guys get better through the year, and Knox comes back and progresses at the same pace as these guys, we will win games we need to lose.  I know it seems far fetched but these kids are young and soaking up everything.  I don’t want a team that just misses the lottery.  That’s not a successful year to me.

Still……I did enjoy the game.  *shrugs*

Quick Reminder:

1. We will get destroyed tonight.
2. We WANT to get destroyed.
3. We are OK with the young guys trying hard the entire game to show KD they have fight but that’s it.

Things To Look Forward To:

1. Improved pick and roll defense.  Tim Jr and Kanter jawing at each other should be a sign to Fizz that they need more work there.
2. Watching Frank guard KD.  This should be more funny than anything.  My guess is he’ll have 2 quick fouls in the first and sit most of the game.  Kid is too aggressive sometimes.
3. We finally get to see Mudiay this season.  I read somewhere he practiced this week.
4. What will Fizz do with the rotation now that Mudiay is available?
5. Since GS will force the Knicks to run, will Robinson get more playing time.

It should be a terrible game but we need to wrack up these Ls.  Don’t stress too much.
