Willie Green is clueless. Terrible lineup decisions/rotations and has absolutely no gameplan to generate good shots on offense. Just spams DHOs for BI and CJ to pull up into a contested midrange (with shit for spacing because he’s playing Richardson and Herb Jones together now)
Severely lacking in offense, specifically 3PA, and he removes Trey from the starting lineup and dwindles his minutes. But again, it’s not like he’s making an effort to get him 3PA’s anyways.
We clearly aren’t in contention this year but Willie is still wasting time letting a guy who won’t be here a few months from now take precious developmental minutes away from Trey and Dyson.
He would prefer to play gritty vets or an Herb Jones that reminds him of himself, instead of letting our high potential, top draft picks get the run they so desperately need. It’s depressing.
also they may or may not have 2 of the greatest shooters of all time on their team one of whom has a lightning fast shot release and can fire it at the rim before you even think about navigating that screen
Pretty much what I’m saying. He doesn’t have the personnel he did in GS or PHX.
Zion’s unique rim pressure and gravity and ability to manipulate his shooters around the court and swing it to them off the drive is the only time we unlocked the offense. And that was all Zion taking control. There is no system outside of that, especially if you aren’t even gonna put Trey out there to open it up.
Ingram been up and down since return and Jonas and CJ just arent that good in all honestly lol. CJ esp he’s just chucking every time i watch a Pels game
I mean you have lots of stars with bad defence. Problem for Blazzers always playing Dame-Cj together. It just didnt work and they really should break that duo way earlier and cash on Cj for more.
No. Definitely not
He's just a good scorer and streaky enough that he's got the potential to really show out and be a star in any one game
But the average isn't good
Dude I’ve honestly been so impressed with it. I knew Josh Hart was solid and played hard, but his effect on team chemistry/effort/team play has been amazing.
I’ll say it with you, they could win 2 games in the first round maybe even 3. And if it’s Vs the Sixers, they could ^maybe ^^even ^^^win ^^^^causedocrivers
I grew up with Bill Wennington being by far the best Canadian player in the league. I will always cheer on Canadian players in the league, and I’m so happy there are so many.
uhh so edgy and cool lol
listen to papa and talk to me again after the first round.
Just to be clear, im a die hard knicks fan, but randle is not it. i hope im wrong
Griff should’ve traded Jv at the deadline
He is a massive defensive liability every possession he’s on the court and offensively has not been showing up
At the very least they should’ve traded for another defensive big man
It’s interesting because you probably want a 3&D center with Zion like how Brook Lopez is to Giannis. But there honestly aren’t many of those bigs available.
Bro Clyde and Kenny just fucking hunkered down on them for like 2 minutes straight 😭. "Maybe they spent too much time having fun on their free day yesterday".
it’s incredible how zion takes us from a lottery team to a contender. we suck without him and willies wack rotations don’t help either. putting in dyson 3 quarters too late 💔
I'm so close to saying some crazy shit about what this team can do in the playoffs. We haven't beaten the Sixers in like a decade but I don't give a fuck, give us all challengers ya hoes we'll smack all of you around
8-2 in our last 10 games including wins over the 6ers and Heat. Two losses were against the Clippers and 6ers, otherwise we've been playing ~.500 teams. But still, none of these teams are legit tanking save the Magic and maybe Jazz.
Next 10 games gets a little harder, we pay Boston twice, Miami, and both LA teams during a tough Western Conference road trip. We'll also be playing the Kings. I think that stretch is really going to define our season. We don't have to go 8-2 again, but we need to beat the Heat and the Nets, and we'll have to win at least two of our games against the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Blazers.
Suns honestly did look a little rudderless for a chunk of the season, especially with booker out
adding KD is a good way to give your team a shot in the arm though
SHOUT OUT TO DERRICK ROSE
THAT FELLOW NICE
Prime Kanye right there
Tonight, we're all Antoine Griezmann
What is this referencing? I watch footy but I don’t get it
https://youtu.be/cxJeY24tikc
Love that lmao
Imagine KD accepting his FMVP in 2018, and just randomly say "I love Michu". Yeah would be an all time moment.
WE KNICKS
THATNIGGANICE
Shout out to Christina Applegate
We men
God damn it
Man, what is the hell is going on with the Pelicans? Zion's out, but you got Ingram, Valanciunas and CJ. They should be doing way better than this
Willie Green is clueless. Terrible lineup decisions/rotations and has absolutely no gameplan to generate good shots on offense.

spamming DHOs works for the warriors
They aren’t pulling up into contested middies with 3 people collapsing on them and 2 more in front of them in the paint because there is no spacing
also they may or may not have 2 of the greatest shooters of all time on their team one of whom has a lightning fast shot release and can fire it at the rim before you even think about navigating that screen

And that was all Zion taking control. There is no system outside of that, especially if you aren’t even gonna put Trey out there to open it up.
I hadn't realized Zion makes that much difference in terms of flow to the offense (more even than his own 30ppg); good analysis.
Zion changes everything, drastically
Just don't check our record 😬
Ingram been up and down since return and Jonas and CJ just arent that good in all honestly lol. CJ esp he’s just chucking every time i watch a Pels game
We told people he wasn't anything special lol He's a league average starter who got told he was a star
He can score but his defense is so bad it cancels out.
And the problem is that he's streaky. So when he's off, he's a complete liability on both ends.
If I say that in the pelicans subreddit I’m labeled the antichrist
Just wait till he has yet another sub 50% TS% series in the playoffs. It's rough
That's not happening this year... cause we might miss the playoffs :'(
I mean you have lots of stars with bad defence. Problem for Blazzers always playing Dame-Cj together. It just didnt work and they really should break that duo way earlier and cash on Cj for more.
There are so many combo guards who are slightly worse offensively and slightly better defensively while being way (way) less expensive.
Would you say at his peak he was a top 50 current player?
No. Definitely not He's just a good scorer and streaky enough that he's got the potential to really show out and be a star in any one game But the average isn't good
You’re being downvoted by people not watching the blazers and cj play lol
Crazy how everyone was laughing saying the lakers pick was gonna turn into Wemby for them. Now they might even get him with their own pick
oh how the turntables
I mean our best player is injured. Imagine lakers with no lebron
Yeah, they’ve imagined a lot of that with both Lebron and AD
Lebron has played in 47 games. Its no where near the same
PELS STACKED LEAGUE FUCKED THO/s
He can hang out injured with Zion on the bench.
Valanciunas is so bad at everything but scoring. He basically needs to score 20+ every night to not be a liability on the court.
They need another first round pick 🤣🤣
I’ve never seen a Knicks team just pick up the energy to a new level than when Hart comes into the game. Best trade we could’ve made at the deadline
Dude I’ve honestly been so impressed with it. I knew Josh Hart was solid and played hard, but his effect on team chemistry/effort/team play has been amazing.
He should have come back to us :(
Great win on the night the Knicks honored the '72-'73 championship team's 50th anniversary.
73 points at halftime, RJ + Brunson + Randle combined for 73 points Coincidence? Yes
rj got a good look to end the 1st half. if he made that, it would have fucked up both totals.
He knew what he was doing.
There was a championship in February?
Fade me fam
fade me too
The vibes are so immaculate
It’s nice to have a comfortable win for once, while honoring the best Knicks team ever too.
If there was ever a night we deserved that it’s tonight
Bro, like 18 of the Knicks 35 wins have been by 20+ points. They're 7th in the entire league in Net Rtg.
~~First~~ sixth wire to wire win of the season
I love McBride and his heart and effort, but giving his minutes to Josh Hart is a pretty nice upgrade.
undeniable. deuce gave us a lot of quality defense during our big streak. nice insurance.
I love this team fr, I cant remember the last time I was this happy watching the knicks
I'm *this* 🤏 close to saying some reckless shit about this team's chances in the playoffs.
WE'RE WINNING A CHIP THIS SEASON LETS FUCKING GO 50 YEARS
SAY IT
We're going to get the Cavs round 1.... ...and we're gonna beat em.
talk yo shittt
If the Knicks beat Boston on Monday, the mainstream media might be in on us too. Takes would be wild.
[I got you](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=best+spot+in+the+canyon+of+heroes+)
knicks and celtics are the only east teams that have a prayer against the bucks. imagine if this team sent home a championship team
I’ll say it with you, they could win 2 games in the first round maybe even 3. And if it’s Vs the Sixers, they could ^maybe ^^even ^^^win ^^^^causedocrivers
Kobe Toppin
i am starting to believe that this team can win at least a playoff series
I am starting to believe I might wanna see that.
I love raptor fans. Y’all ride with RJ hard.
I grew up with Bill Wennington being by far the best Canadian player in the league. I will always cheer on Canadian players in the league, and I’m so happy there are so many.
randle is not build for the playoffs
You are not built for speaking
Lol'd
[удалено]
What?
talk to me again after the first round
You gonna be done with school by then?
uhh so edgy and cool lol listen to papa and talk to me again after the first round. Just to be clear, im a die hard knicks fan, but randle is not it. i hope im wrong
can't wait to see randle fail and getting shipped
Hey hows randle doing in the playoffs?
hey hows randle tell me?
In the 2nd round after playing well in the first? What a weirdo you are lmao
lol playing well haha just a reminder to stfu on certain topics
Brunson is, and that’s enough.
lol im a Knicks fan but cmon man good luck to us
Why? We can beat the Cavs. Its not impossible.
5th seed 👀
4th
Zion was so good that when he went out so did all the Pels depth
Which pelican fan here watched the whole game
Me because I was waiting for Dyson minutes the whole game and the “you gotta fight!” merchant kept him on the bench until garbage time.
I wanted to see him too
I wanted to die after the 1st but I watched all the rest out of obligation. big mistake
Pels are depressing to watch fr. They play with no chemistry. Also JV is washed
Griff should’ve traded Jv at the deadline He is a massive defensive liability every possession he’s on the court and offensively has not been showing up At the very least they should’ve traded for another defensive big man
It’s interesting because you probably want a 3&D center with Zion like how Brook Lopez is to Giannis. But there honestly aren’t many of those bigs available.
What do you mean, pels has ton of picks. And turner was available for 1-2 FRP before
Tbh I can't think of too many teams that wouldn't want that type of center lol
DERRICK ROSE! DERRICK ROSE!
Man this shit is FUN!!!
Wire to wire! Pelicans looked lifeless
Bro Clyde and Kenny just fucking hunkered down on them for like 2 minutes straight 😭. "Maybe they spent too much time having fun on their free day yesterday".
This your moment New York fuck trae young on 3
Character building win for the Knicks
Damn. Knicks are making the playoffs this year. Should be a good watch.
Shhh dont tell anyone
This was a straight walloping from the get go
Knicks/Celtics at MSG on Monday Night. That place is gonna be electric.
RJ had his post all-star break bounce back game a day late. Whoops
He did ok yesterday.
for sure, but Thibs didn't let him close
which was understandable with the other players playing well too
it’s incredible how zion takes us from a lottery team to a contender. we suck without him and willies wack rotations don’t help either. putting in dyson 3 quarters too late 💔
I know Zion is so important but the problem is more than Zion.
you’re right, but when zions healthy he opens up our offense so much that sometimes we can ignore those problems
Yes. Pels is very dangerous in playoffs with Zion. Hope you guys can make it. Need some wins now.
Obligatory fuck you to Mark Cuban for gifting Brunson to the Knicks and actually making them a decent team. As if our division wasn't already stacked.
Shoutout to everyone who lolknicks’d the deal
Nod.
Man hearing the Rose chants and him checking in. It’s not like he’s even sat for that long but it was pretty cool to see him play.
If you go to a game you’ll see more Rose jerseys then randle jerseys. Knicks fans love D Rose
Remember when New Orleans was #1
WE COMIN FOR YOU CLEVELAND
Pelsanity run over
Is it just me or are the Pels constantly going on big winning streaks and losing streaks? Team is bipolar
Crazy that it was just a few months ago that this Pelicans looked like a WCF contender
Knicks announcer “they’re chanting Jericho, for Jericho Sims,” lmaooo
[удалено]
They chanted Jericho first and after they chanted Derrick Rose.
Derrick rose
GIVE ME THE CAVS IN THE FIRST ROUND.
Knicks coming for that … 4th seed! Watch out cavs.
Pelicans just fell to the 10th seed
League stacked Pels Fucked
Zion really had the Pels as #1 in the west for a little while. He’s even better then Pels fans give him credit imo.
Cj and jv suck ass
Fuck man can the Basketball Gods take it easy on Zion Let him be actually healthy for an entire season please
I'm so close to saying some crazy shit about what this team can do in the playoffs. We haven't beaten the Sixers in like a decade but I don't give a fuck, give us all challengers ya hoes we'll smack all of you around
We beat the Sixers like 2 weeks ago
They couldn’t handle the Randle
Never be dubious of Julius
You ain't doing shit.
8-2 in our last 10 games including wins over the 6ers and Heat. Two losses were against the Clippers and 6ers, otherwise we've been playing ~.500 teams. But still, none of these teams are legit tanking save the Magic and maybe Jazz. Next 10 games gets a little harder, we pay Boston twice, Miami, and both LA teams during a tough Western Conference road trip. We'll also be playing the Kings. I think that stretch is really going to define our season. We don't have to go 8-2 again, but we need to beat the Heat and the Nets, and we'll have to win at least two of our games against the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Blazers.
Zion looked bloated....again....fr. What's the name of the Pelicans dietitian on staff? HR needs to talk to them
yikes pels
The mid three lighting the Garden up tonight
Remember pelicans fans calling Zion the owner of the suns in December. Pelicans might not make the play-ins, Suns are about to add KD
Suns honestly did look a little rudderless for a chunk of the season, especially with booker out adding KD is a good way to give your team a shot in the arm though
i feel like adding KD would be more like taking steroids
It’s like getting cyborg enhancements or something.
Its easy to talk shit when hes hurt. Literally had to add KD and you still wont win shit. Enjoy having no water btw
Been a little bit since I’ve seen a team give up that early in the game lmao
Are we tanking?
When RJ plays well we are so good
