Yea but at least most of those other PG's are good at other aspects of the game. I don't see a problem with felton, but Pablo and kidd will help out enough easily.

Lin isn't going to set the world on fire at pg, but he's solid enough if his "knee thing" aka, fitness, ever gets back to normal. But he's solid enough, and seems able to run an offense. He's probably not what is holding back any team.

1.Miami
2.Celtics
3.Hawks
4.Nets

6.Knicks
7.Bulls
8.Philly/Bucks
West:
1.OKC

4.Nuggets
5.Grizz
6.Clips
7.Jazz
8.Mavs/GSW/Hornets
Defensive rotations are easier to get better at during the year, than offensive skill.
The nets will have been mainly working on O in training camp, trying to bring together that many new players into a new offense. So i'm not so overly worried. But during the regular season Offense lets you tally up wins. During the post season, it's defense.

Someone who's a better PG than Kemba.
No each way betting Morris. Make a decision! i'll only be taking the first team you put in, in those places. So philly and mavs.

Some 35 year old euro pg who has averaged 6 points and 4 assists in 25 mins
Alright, I'll go with Mavs and Philly.

starters are playing more minutes, and ending the game. even if dwight doesn't play, and there's indications that he might, i think thats enough for a win against sacramento. also, mike brown said in a previous interview he'll push to win the last 3 pre season games.
Who the fuck is Pablo?
omg the knicks are back
hide ya kids

I don't know, most teams that finish in the bottom 10 defensively miss the playoffs and all of their players have had a lot of opportunities to start defending but lack the speed and BBIQ to do it. I don't think Humphries, Lopez, Blatche can be anything more than awful on defense and an awful defensive frontcourt kills your team unless you have a superstar wing defender (which Wallace isn't anymore).

First cuts were made earlier this week, so 24 Hour Fitness pick-up tier guys are getting less minutes.

Hating right now. Pablo can pass really good.
Oh, i don't think they'll make a run in the post season, but i can see them getting a ton of regular season wins just on their O.
And they don't have to be great on D, just serviceable. And they have enough height there to be that, if they at least rebound hard.

lolstats. go see him actually play and come back to me.
could've sworn i was the one that actually told people here that lin was actually decent to begin with

Check out his sweet mix, hope you like Ne-yo and Pitbull.
He'll be alright as a 3rd string PG. Kidd as a back up pg...I don't know, Felton looks better than expected so far in pre-season but he might start free basing cinnabon once teams start playing for real.

I don't know, Humphries and Lopez and Blatche have never played big minutes on teams that were close to serviceable on defense and that's their frontcourt now. Joe also seems too big and slow to be playing SG anymore. In the last five years, only three teams have been bottom 10 in defense and made the playoffs.

What does Wallace do well anymore?
Most of his skill came from his athleticism and he is clearly losing that.

Ain't no void here.

So yeah someone who's a better PG than Kemba
Without going to look it up, I'm going to assume they were suns or warriors teams, that made up the difference on O?
I don't think the nets will get 60 wins, but i can see them getting 50.
I can also see them getting 25.
I just don't think the east is that strong or deep at all.
The case for philly even making the play offs is a healthy bynum. For them making the top 4 is a healthy bynum putting up 30 & 15 for the season.
The same can be said of the knicks, they need melo to average 25-10-5 while shooting over 50% for the season.
lots of big if's, out east.

Mavs over the Clippers? No way.
The icebox is full of my Antonio McDyess jersey and Pat's cast from the '99 finals.
Ain't no denial here. This team is ass.
at least the new uniforms look nice on tv tho.
He said that? He's even stupider than I thought.

Middling team that's constructed to be middling. Nothing wrong with that.
knicks fans do this all the time and then the future happens and your booking becomes irrelevant

man idk but the knicks got to have a plan. I just looked at the 2015 free agency and its not even worth waiting for when Kevin "I should wear Hulk Fist Gloves all the time" Love is the best prospect

also its 3 weeks come on. Also maybe this is the excuse finally needed to make Amare come off the bench as a 6 man scorer.
Gets paid 20M to come off the bench for 25mpg.

no way out for 3 yrs. he is better off the bench too since defense will be worse.
Oh ho ho my God.
None of us want the knicks fanbase to be like this. This crazed sort of unshakeable faith in them. When 1 playoff game is won in the last decade. There is no plan. There hasn't been a plan in a long time. The one roster that may have grown into something was shipped to Denver. You traded success for commercial appeal. You might sell some Melo jerseys.
But geez man. He really can't carry all these 40 year old vets on his back.
And I don't wish this fate on anybody. I'm a voice crying out in the wilderness.
Tear it down. It has to be done. You can't win a chip with this group, much less get to a ECF.
Please. Knick fans have already enough to deal with.

watching the knicks vs heat series last year was so weird. I'm new to basketball but watching it and hearing people talk about the knicks it seemed like all their players had a bunch of hype behind them. Like whenever J.R smith or shumpert scored it was like they thought the game was over, knicks won. but they kept losing.
As is said, I don't know much about the knicks, or basketball in general, maybe they're best players were out?

so you want two primary jump shooters who operate on the perimeter?
even in fantasy you should come up with a better team, man.
Love/Dwight. Harden/Love/Dwight.
Dream big if you franchise is going to fail big anyway!
