Portis cada vez que hace una declaración es el cruce perfecto entre Fizdale y Kanter... vendeburrismo a tope y frases hechas que para esta epoca del año, sin mucha info y con todos de vacaciones, sirve para dorar la pildora al aficionado.

Perry lo quiere tener controlado... que le gusta ese tipo de pivots intenso en defensa y con capacidad para intimidar, poner chapas y cerrar el rebote (aunque en ataque sea bastante limitado)

Julius y Payton, que esta última temporada han sido compañeros, ya quedan para echar un rato y tirar a canasta

[spree_1985]

El que si creo que se juega su crédito de cara al futuro cercano de la franquicia es Fizdale, esta temporada a nivel de resultados se le va a exigir más seguro, no creo que le vayan a permitir una temporada de mierda como la anterior
Si la franquicia quiere tener opciones en futuras agencias libres hay que ser un equipo competitivo y los jóvenes ir progresando y ganándose los minutos. Si vienen mal dadas veo difícil que en NY vayan a tener más paciencia con el, y me parece lo lógico, por eso no creo que vaya a regalar minutos a los jóvenes por que si.
Portis ha dicho que nos podemos meter en play off, que mis ojos lo vean

[Art94]

De momento sigue sin superarse la de hace unas temporadas de "Somos los Warriors del Este"

Portis ha dicho que nos podemos meter en play off, que mis ojos lo vean

En lo personal, no se si para postemporada, pero creo que estaremos al borde de las 30 a 35 victorias, a lo mejor me equivoco de cabo a rabo pero podemos ser la sorpresa positiva y el equipo irá al frente todos los partidos.
¿Por qué no soñar con el octavo puesto?

Dennis Smith y su mejora en el tiro será un tema recurrente de cada verano que Dennis pase con nosotros, como lo eran los kilos perdidos de Eddy Curry, lo finito que se le ve a Carmelo en el gym o como está Ntilikina mejorando el manejo de balón.


Aquí va artículo del trabajo milagroso hecho por Keith Smart. https://nypost.com/2019/07/21/knicks-sh ... -smith-jr/

Keith Smart and Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. have been summer shooting pals for six weeks, in three cities, for countless hours. And it started in a chair.

The Knicks assistant coach warned Smith the process would be “tedious.” It’s been all of that — and the alliance may turn so successful, the shape of the Knicks’ season could change.

Smart is the former Indiana shooting guard best known for hitting the biggest baseline dagger in Syracuse history. Smart authored “The Shot’’ that slayed the Orangemen for the 1987 NCAA championship.

After the 2018-19 season, coach David Fizdale handed Smart his summer assignment: Make Smith’s jump shot dangerous.

In May, Smart flew to Smith’s hometown, Fayetteville, NC, to launch “Project Dennis.” They’ve also worked in New York and Las Vegas during the summer league in early July.

They will resume in August.


In Vegas, Smith was genuinely enthused, saying “a big difference” had already taken place. He projected he would “take my game to the next level and it’s going to put us in the playoffs.” That’s a lot of pressure on Smart, a former Warriors assistant and head coach who also worked with Fizdale in Miami and Memphis. Smart has always been “The Shot Doctor’’ and is nicknamed “Smarty.’’ He was smart enough not to touch Stephen Curry’s pure launch during their two seasons together with Golden State (2009-11).

Smart said he’s been lucky to always have coaches obsessed with shooting fundamentals — middle school, high school, then with junior college Hall-of-Famer Jim Carey at Garden City (Kan.) Community College and Bobby Knight at Indiana. Taking shots off the side of a wall were commonplace drills.

Five years ago, Smart took up golfing and marveled at how pros deconstructed a swing to its finest component.
“So I wanted to use that approach in basketball shooting because those guys do a great job — how they teach it,’’ Smart said.

Smart went back to the basics with Smith.
“We started shooting in a chair, taking out all the floor movement and just looking at the shoulders,” Smart said. “The delivery of the hands through the basketball. We worked on that for about a week.”
A week? “I told him it was going to get boring,’’ Smart said. “But don’t get bored with any of it.’’
Eventually, Smith, arguably the 2017 draft’s most athletic player, emerged from the chair and more fine-tuning took place.

[PinHeadKnickJR]

25-30 victorias sería lo normal me parece.

La verdad es que ver a Melo mendigar un puesto en la NBA... da bastante que pensar. Ese ego, esa cabeza, ese no saber reciclarse en un especialista en el tiro....

La verdad es que ver a Melo mendigar un puesto en la NBA... da bastante que pensar. Ese ego, esa cabeza, ese no saber reciclarse en un especialista en el tiro....

Debería venir a Europa, no sabe adaptarse a un rol secundario en la NBA y ya no da para ser líder de ningún equipo.

Da pena verlo así porque si va a otro equipo NBA se la va a volver a pegar.

Barrett no va al mundial.

Barrett no va al mundial.

Aluden molestias fisicas y tal... en fin, lo de siempre. Las presiones de las franquicias, ya tendrá tiempo de ir.

Egoistamente me apetecía verle compitiendo contra jugadores profesionales y hechos pero entiendo que nadie en NY quiera correr el riesgo con la elección más alta que ha llegado desde Ewing hace 34 años.

La misma historia de siempre. Es cierto que las franquicias invierten mucho dinero en los jugadores, pero para nosotros como aficionados es una lastima no poder ver la selecciones a full. Es que lo que consiguen haciendo estas cosas son mundiales descafeinados la verdad, nadie se imagina que algo asi pase en el futbol.

Putas consultorías.

There were probably a dozen other reasons the Knicks struggled that year. But when Hopla talked to SNY about his time with the Knicks and that frustrating 2013-14 season, he pointed to another factor in the Knicks' shortcomings: He said McKinsey & Company, a worldwide management consulting firm hired by Madison Square Garden to work with the Knicks and Rangers, had a negative impact on the coaching staff and was the source of confusion and paranoia among some players. The firm's influence led to decisions like not having coaches watch film with players and filling out seemingly endless amounts of paperwork, according to Hopla.

"We got so fed up with them," Hopla said of McKinsey & Company, which declined comment for this story when asked about their work with the Knicks in 2013-14.

Knicks owner James Dolan said in a Q&A in the New York Post in 2013 that he hired the firm to "reprocess" the Knicks and Rangers. The firm was hired before Dolan decided to fire GM Glen Grunwald, which suggests they may have had at least some influence on the decision. Grunwald was let go days before training camp opened in 2013-14. Current team president Steve Mills replaced him general manager.

The timing of the move stunned Hopla and other coaches: "(The season) just started out in a tailspin."

McKinsey & Company's influence continued throughout the season. Hopla said the consulting agency advised coaches to stop watching film with players at one point during the year.

"The players were like, 'Why aren't we watching film?' (We said), 'the McKinsey group told us,' " Hopla recalled.

Hopla said the consultants also told members of the coaching staff to fill out paperwork documenting how players performed in all workouts, a process Hopla felt was time-consuming (a second source confirms that coaches were asked to fill out the paperwork).

"I told them if we took all that time writing reports and we actually worked the players out, we would have made the playoffs," Hopla said.

Members of the consulting firm attended practices and games at home and on the road, which, according to Hopla, led to concerns from the players.

"The players started asking who they were," Hopla said. "…. They were worried about maybe they were writing reports about them. They were paranoid."

Hopla questioned why a firm without significant experience in pro basketball was allowed to influence how Knicks coaches approached aspects of their jobs.

"If the McKinsey group came in and it was Hubie Brown, Bob Knight and John Thompson, you'd listen to them," he said.

Que Barrett no vaya al mundial a nuestros efectos es beneficioso. ¿A qué representantes tendremos entonces? Julius está con USA, luego no se si Frank está o no...

[Elladan]

Creo haber leido que Randle no va por motivos familiares
