ka-chow

[nathanjizzle]

d rose looks good.

[Hey Yo]

Porzingis policing the inside with some nice blocks and boards

[Nilocon165]

Lol at the thought of this team taking the cavs to more than 5 games :roll: :roll:

Cavs will probably lose 3 games or less in the playoffs before the Warriors

[IGOTGAME]

Harden might win MVP this year...he is just gonna put up sick numbers

[Milbuck]

Harden is going to put up some stupid dominant numbers this year. They'll be fun to watch, so many off-ball guys with range and athleticism out there, they're perfectly built for his style and MDA is the perfect coach to run it too. Won't win enough for MVP though.

It's not his fault that LeBron teammates were always better shooters tho.

Makes me sick to see Derrick in a disgusting New York jersey.

Knicks are basically 1 injury from barely making the playoffs . No way someone on that team doesn't get injured. I'm thinking Noah or rose for sure .

[Milbuck]

You know you're trash when the fking Rockets are clowning you :oldlol:

It's preseason.

Ya WB will have more boards but Harden will be way more efficient. Probably the top 2 fantasy guys right now.
It's preseason.They need to cut this half assed triangle shit. It's not working, clunky as hell. Try something more free flowing, need to run more sets for KP.

take out oquinn, hes just messing up the whole offense.

Porzingis
Melo
Lance/Mindy
lee
rose

[bdreason]

They need to get Zinger more shots. If Rose and Melo dominate the ball all season, this team won't go anywhere.

I definitely can't stand O'Quinn. I wish he was traded instead of d.williams. Knicks' bench could of been easily better. I hope he show me something this upcoming season tho.

[Real14]

Porzingis!!!!! 5/7 from 3!!!

[Milbuck]

Knicks legit look better with Melo getting out of the way. KP is so obviously the best player on the team.

I wouldn't go that far.

[Nilocon165]

Gaining a lot of respect for Harden :applause:

Based off one game in the preseason where nobody is playing d and the refs are once again swallowing their whistle everytime melo goes to the hoop. Yeah.

[Milbuck]

No, based on him lacking any explosion at all and being a ball stopper every time he gets it

[Thunderfan86]

D Rose hurt?

[CuterThanRubio]

I shouldn't begin acting like an analytical guru for recognizing a predictable outcome but once again I was able to notice something that wasn't so obvious to everyone else for some reason.

Harden will have a season for the ages, yes, he will probably break the turnover record again but 35 7 7 isn't out of the question with D'Antoni in the mix pushing the tempo and gunning for high scores.

Westbrook doesn't have the craft and tact that Harden possesses, he's shifty and slick, and he can hit threes, the difference between their stat lines will be in the loss column, WB is going to pile up the bricks like no other this year.

Anyone expecting the Knicks to be a dominant force is sadly mistaken, please don't count on Rose and Melo to carry them, those dudes are WASHED!

[MellowYellow]

Melo's game hasn't been predicated on explosion since his nuggets days. He is fine. He showed in olympics he can still be effective.

he is a 1 dimensional ball stopping volume shooter. you cannot argue against that. and most of the time it is a detriment to the team unless hes making his shots with high efficiency.

[MellowYellow]

He showed last year he can be a willing and able passer. Also his defense is very underrated.

The Knicks will not be in the playoffs.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Harden should be fantasy pick #1 this year.

[Smook A.]

Don't give me the "oh it's just preseason" shit, but Harden has looked so good playing PG. He just needs to put a little more effort on the defensive end. His offense on the other hand is fantastic

[Ben Simmons]

Why we acting like he wasnt always point guard?

d fenc was horrendous

[smoovegittar]

Hard-On will flourish with D'Antonio at the helm.

Knicks played no defense, so it's no surprise they got lit up. And will get lit up for a few more games until they get it together. Did not like the coaching lack of effort, either.

For the haters: If NY doesn't happen this year, you'll be waving goodbye to Rose and Melo. That no trade clause is gone after this season.
