Right guys right? Do the little belt thing. The little championship belt thing like your above .500 but your not.

Are the knicks above .500?

Did that post sound better in your head?

And how many raw as fuck bigs actually devevelop that NBA ready offense? Shump isn't a point but he can play it in spots like he did tonight. He's better at the 2 or 3 and he has above average handle and play making ability at both those positions. Plus he has good form and can shoot ft's, he's gonna be a decent shooter eventually. He's already shown improvement during the season. Biyombo is a good young player but so is Shump and I'd take him at this point.

To anyone watching (admittedly very few), Biyombo has shown more improvement over the course of the season than any other rookie, guard or big, in the league. Shump is a more active Chris Singleton - that just happens to play in NY.

And project bigs? You make it sound like the 90s wasn't full of them. Good ones too. But sure. whynot

Its not like project wings and guards are more likely to succeed/stay in the league... oh wai

Boston are just stylin now.

Cole Train can't even get off HeatBench™ anymore.......

He better got accustomed to those seats.

He's a skilled PG.

He's just a fucking clown. It was only a matter of time before his shit stopped cute...

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

People thought he could play PG for the same reason they thought Reddick could play PG.

They didn't know what the hell they were talking about.

People really have a weird fascination for projecting players to positions that they have no ability to play. Not sure what that's really about.

Put Kemba at the 3. He's too fast for anyone at that position to guard! Unlimited scoring opportunities!

Because players being able to play other positions to a mediocre level means if you have a team full of them you will win a lot of games.


right?



fuck

 

[Syphon Filter]

dy shump was brought for defensive purposes.

 

[Emwitus]

you see lakers, you see how avery never goes under the bloody screen and boston aren't switching? That's how you're supposed to freaking play.

 

[DY_nasty]

dy shump was brought for defensive purposes.

Duh

But lets all pretend that SHUMPSDAGOD was borne from a stellar defensive performance in the preseason. That works.

Avery is really athletic
The Lakers guards are really old

This is a problem mostly with sessions and weird phil..uh mike brown....uh lakers defense.

But Shump isn't a project he just has room for improvement. He already consistently gets baskets in NBA games. Biyombo has 'shown more improvement over the course of the season than any other rookie' but he still averages 4.8 ppg...


edit: Yes he's not a pg but guess what? He's 6'5! He doesn't have to be a pg!

 

[Red Blaster]

Isaiah Thomas is already a better player than Sherbert will ever be

 

[masud]

Isaiah Thomas is a better player than Sherbert

True but Isaiah Thomas is the actual 2nd best player from the draft.

 

[ph33nix]

James Jones is filthy

 

[Emwitus]

Man, how fast does ray allen shoot his 3? wow.

4.8 ppg?

like i gives a fuck

he wasn't even supposed to be here, or ready to play, but he's already proven that he's capable of being one of the top man up defenders of his position in the league and he's not even 20. we already won with biyombo. it was established - then we resumed our regularly scheduled tank job

shump? still not definitively better than chris singleton - which i've never seen anyone even try to dispute because a) knicks fans rival lakers-age when it comes to talking up anyone with even a hint of potential b) no one looks for singleton, or washington games in particular c) shump jumps higher.

edit: Yes he's not a pg but guess what? He's 6'5! He doesn't have to be a pg!

Duh

That misses the point of all the post-draft talk of Shump somehow being able to run the point when he can't even put the ball on the floor 3 times in a row without looking dumb as shit. Him playing in one of the most spaced out offenses really helps him out.

Shut up with your bitching. Singleton sucks. He brings nothing to the table. Average defender and gives nothing on offense.

Stop this nonsense dy because I'm tired of reading this shit. Next topic please.

 

[diehard]

Im watching this Jazz Spurs game but i dontreally know why

end yourself chars

Shump - brings nothing to the offense other than being able to jump high. and shoot the prettiest broken ass jumper since john wall.

end yourself slow

Oh I'm sorry I thought we were comparing players. You can't just not give a fuck about the fact that your boy averages 2 baskets a game when we're comparing him to someone that can actualy play on both sides of the court.

And the fact that you compare Singleton to Shump shows you haven't watched Shump play much. He had 6 assists tonight, Singleton is not doing that.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Shump is like the least efficient guard in the NBA.

Not sure that's really playing both sides of the court.

 

[Omzz]

i got my money on toronto

chyeah

6 assists from Shump is like 6 assists from Kemba. They mean almost less than nothing.

And I'm not comparing Biyombo, god center, to Shump - one of the most inefficient guards in the league. Redux called him a bust and Shump the 2nd best rookie in the league.

Short term memory is a good thing to have I guess.

 

[pilonv1]

What a terrible bunch of games today

 

[diehard]

Shump is like the least efficient guard in the NBA.

during the course of the game, he is literally playing on both sides of the court.

 

[masud]

Biyombo shoots less than 50% from the field? How is that possible? Shouldn't he only be dunking?

 

[AgentChris]

Next season Shump won't even have to worry about running the point; if Lin can stay healthy.

Not before I go green and bitch slap your head off your shoulders. Jelly like motherfucker is what you are. You know you had the cookie monster face going after melo hit that shot. Hell, your eyes are probably still facing in different directions.

 

[jordan0386]

There is no argument to win by knocking Iman.

Fun to watch, and his having a decent rookie year. Knicks are 12-3 under Woodson, so his plusminus should be decen

10ppg 3rpg 3apg 2stl. Who mad?

 

[DY_nasty]

Biyombo shoots less than 50% from the field? How is that possible? Souldn't he only be dunking?

you make it sound like the bobcats don't run the exact same 3 plays over and over for 48 minutes

its why we score in the 1st quarter, then never shoot above 45% for the rest of the game.

why would i watch a knicks game if clyde ain't calling it?

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Yo, I'm watching this soccer match on telemundo. There is more flopping going on than a Clippers/Heat game.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Holy shit Tony just undressed Harris.

 

[pilonv1]

Parker just destroyed Harris

 

[diehard]

ahh yes the "sorry you missed that dunk" foul call.

 

[Knux-Future]

We are so fucking dead.

 

[Emwitus]

What team is this, and what have they done with the old timer boston celtics?

 

[Mothman91]

Guys, stop talking about my manz Singleton.

 

[Alrix]

Haven't seen a lot of Biyombo or Singleton. Shumpert does shoot inefficiently but he has come up big in some big games this year. He needs to work on his jump shot (it's gotten better) and he has had some great drives but screws up finishes. Dude has great potential. No question he's one of the top rookies to come out of the last draft.

 

[pilonv1]

No question he's one of the top rookies to come out of the last draft.

How high is "top". There's probably at least 10 better you could name without thinking.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Glad Pop decided to give Blair rest today.

Hes the only Spur to play all 50 games so he deserves it. Besides, I'd like to see how Diaw handles the Jazz's bigs.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Pretty depressing that the Jazz might have been able to trade Josh Howard for Daniel Green...

 

[DY_nasty]

I can only think of 15 rookies worth talking about... No, Kemba isn't one of them either.
