[@solidsnake7167]

Knicks need a wing that can get you a bucket any-time. Even a Paul George type would make allll the difference in the world with the Knicks. They aren't super talented frankly. A team full of scrappers that are super well coached, but they need a blue chipper to make them a title contender. My 2 cents

[@vinnyb3978]

They also dont have Randle. I know people have doubts about him but the guy gets 20 a game and if Hart is the "heart" of the team Randle is our physical presence. And when he drives the defense collapses then he can kick out to our shooters. We're missing him a lot even if some Knick fans won't admit it.

[@JovicaMilutinovic]

I've been watching and following the NBA since the 95/96 season, I still have an album with pictures from the 96/97 season. Although it is difficult to watch games in Serbia due to the unpleasant time difference, I managed to watch the play-off games at the beginning of the Bulls later Kings - because of Divac and Peja Stojakovic. I took a 4 year hiatus from when the Kings got robbed in a game against the Lakers in a year they could have won a ring. I've been following Jokic for 10 years now and not miss a game with Joker 5 season, also big fan of Denver because they built a team in a very unusual way for the NBA these days. The Lakers had an advantage of 20 points in the second game and that's ok.. But it's not the Lakers who play every game like the first half in Denver. Russell doesn't hit 5/5 three-pointers every game, Davis doesn't shoot 92% of his shots in 28 of his 32 points. It's luck, and luck has no role in sports, but consistency and team play (basketball is a team sport)do. On the other hand, New York is also in the phase of building a very good team and they really play hard and have a team spirit like Denver. It is changing a lot and the NBA has already changed, you can't talk about L.James and Cury, Durrant who are 36+ years old (like all the other players with 35+), in addition to so many new young talents, there is constant drama about LJ, KD... .that is the past and we should turn to young players and young teams like Cavs, Magic, OKC, Toronto, Denver, Dallas.

Colin says the Knicks are overachieving? They have been to the playoffs for 3 of the last 4 seasons. Each year no worse than the 5th seed when in the playoffs, they have two all-NBA players, two all-defensive players in Robinson and Anunoby, and one of the best catch-and-shoot guards in the league with Divo. On the bench Hartenstein, McBride, Josh Hart, and Bogie. This is not 2016 please.

@@molder2233 ....Wrong... From '07-'08, '08-'09, '09-'10 Kobe put the Lakers on his back to not only go back-to-back, but to avenge the last Laker Finals loss to their nemesis Boston Celtics. It was Kobe who galvanized Pau, Odom, Metta, Bynum, Fish, Farmar, and Shannon Brown to that greatness.

Im so confused by people saying that Michigan was just flushed with dominant talent. Why is there ZERO 1st rounders outside if JJ? There isnt a single Michigan player projrcted to go in the first round other than him. Even in the 2nd round, there's questions. Theres are multiple players from each of the teams they beat in the final weeks that are rated higher than ever player on UM. JJ succeeded with a roster full of 2, 3 and 4 stars. Michigan had exactly 2 Five ⭐ players, JJ and Will Johnson. Will plays Def. Give JJ, Rome Adunze, MHJr, Malik Nabers, Bowers, etc. He'd probably have a lot better numbers than the rest of these guys. JJ didnt even play in 6 4th quarters. Its crazy that his numbers werent that far off of Maye or Williams considering JJ played 130 less snaps than those guys depsite playing in more games.
