Tuesday Big-Headed Turtles

Boston to win the Atlantic Division? The GMs realize what year this is right? And how Boston is 4-8 and playing with the utmost mediocrity.

Rose is not the best PG in the NBA, I don’t care how many points he inefficiently scores. But I can understand this agrument.

Kevin Durant is the 5th best POWER FORWARD? And no votes for A’mare either?

Kobe Bryant is the 3rd best perimeter defender? Again I wonder if the GMs know what year this is or were just too lazy to put any thought into it.

Tyson Chandler should’ve gotten votes for Best Interior Defender.

Boston tied for 2nd best defense? ITS NOT 2008 ANYMORE! They are currently 18th in defense efficiency.

Mike “Please give the ball to Lebron” Brown does not run the 5th best offense.

Durant the 2nd best at getting his own shot? Yeah, no. That is probably his biggest weakness and why they lost to Dallas last year in the playoffs.

Other than that, the GMs were pretty much spot on.

I hope I am wrong.

Fools gold is only if you expect Baron to come in and average 20 and 10 asst while being the best player on the floor. That is probably not the Baron we have nor necessarily the Baron we need. We need Davis to basically do what he did when he got to Cleveland last year, bring some focus and organization to the offense. Davis at his worst has enough experience and court vision to run an offense and distribute the basketball. The very things the Knicks lack in their offense right now.

I do disagree slightly with Cavan’s take on Bibby. A say slightly because he is correct that Bibby’s days as a starting point guard are over. But if the Knicks can get the starting PG situation straight Bibby is not a bad back up. He doesn’t turn the ball over a lot, moves the ball and is still a decent spot up shooter. He is just not a number one guy anymore. Nor when the Knicks signed him did they expect him to be. D’Antoni was clear that Bibby could be effective in spot duty off the bench, and He has tried to keep him in that role. If Davis can restore order to the starting PG mess then Bibby’s value as a veteran off the bench who can come in and keep things from going to hell while Davis rests will increase. But without a number one guy at the point Bibby looks like a worthless signing.

Those are A’mare’s hipster children.

Also I want Chandler and Jefferies to sing at my wedding.

does that mean we have two more roster spots for more players?

super well written, just a pleasure to read

“Seth: Yeah, I’m well aware of Knicks fans’ impatience and sense of entitlement, and I suppose that plays into my own fetishization of cartoonish deep-bench players.”
