I dont know how Perry goes from loving Payton to trading for Mudiay,while Payton goes for a second rounder..

Im starting to think Perry overplayed his hand,and not the other way around

Don,this is a gut job..Its a total rebuild....

No doubt a Tank is in order,but we are an absolute mess,and the only guy i wouldnt move is having ACL surgery.

FAIL

Can't really talk about the Knicks after that game. Yea, you want a tank but you also want hope. That game brought none. The only thing worth watching was Jack and Beas...that says it all right there. Jack doesn't come out hot in the third, they would have lost by 30 and Beas kept them breathing all night.

Onto other stuff....wow, whenever I see Philly I just marvel at the amount of talent they have everywhere but there is something about them....not sure if it is just a mismatch of players but do you feel like Philly should be a better squad with all of the talent they have? Is it coaching?

They totally miss on a first pick (for now anyway) and still are dripping with talent.

Dude needs to go back to the Atlanta developmental league..

Is it so hard to bring it in and attack like you say??
Yes, Hardaway is so bad he needs to play in the G League. There's a logical conclusion.

I can't explain 5 for 44. Like Breen was saying its just incomprehensible. I still hold its an aberration.

yes, we want Ls... but its not good to see your recent lottery pick point guard do 0 points and 0 assists in 21 minutes. its demoralizing from a "we need to get a high draft pick" perspective when the knicks are just going to waste them

Its a joke you knucklehead .....I call the Atlanta hawks the developmental league as that is where Hardaway was on a much shorter leash...

And i owe you an apology..When you supported Hardaways small sample size,he was 2-26 from downtown

He is currently on a tear,making 2 of 18,which brings him to 5-44...

Aberration?? and you know this with all certainty?

He did shoot 14 percent from 3 in the 2015-2016 post season

He also had a stretch where he went 7-39 in the same season,6-30 the year before

Its only incomprehensible if you are too lazy to look at boxscores :happy:

When he returns I’m sure you’ll return to criticizing him every chance you get.

Tao hates TANKS guys..........even if the Knicks were heading for a Top 3 lottery pick PROPERLY, Tao will forever bash the tanking process because he hates TANKS.

Just let Tao have his say, fellas lol

That being said.........a tank is one thing, BUT letting a backup PG drop a triple double against your entire guard rotation (starters and backups) is just damn embarrassing no matter how you view it

This year was challenging on the psyche..

There was no question,an all out tank was in the best interest of the franchise.I am not as high on our players as others are..

But we overachieved,and I can't fault Jeff and Perry for putting W's on the board.

I think it's clear,we are back to square 1..

Relax fellas, there's still time for our annual "let's save face with this 3 game meaningless win streak which drops us 4 slots in draft order"

Every year. Just lose.
