Time to rest your Starters....It's the Official Week 21 Thread

[Son of Skeletor]

When Eric Gordon leads your team in 'being healthy', you know you're snakebitten.

Ajinca might get himself a decent contract this off season. Haven't really watched him much though, hows his defense?

He fouls like a mofo.

Has really nice touch for a big man though - and when I say 'big', I mean massive.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

... but it seems like everyone likes him more than Reggie.

Kyrie Irving dislikes this.

 

[Oliver King]

Was looking forward to watching us play the Pels (Davis mostly) today Son of Skeletor. Annoying that he didn't play.

Been gifted some luck re: OKC, and you can't get your players on the court either.

So a decent backup centre then. Is only 26 aswell. Wouldnt surprise me to see him get 5 mil a year.

Tell me about it

Lost both Brow and Asik yesterday plus Reke is proppy as hell.

Still no word on when either Ryno or Jrue will be back, in the latter's case probably not until next season.

In Philly Jrue missed 14 games in four years - since he joined us he's missed 80 out of 150. In the same time Ryno's missed 77 games. AD's never had a major injury, but he's still missed nearly 50 games in three seasons. Eric Gordon has missed 136 games in four seasons since he's joined us.

We should trade another first round pick to Phoenix for their medical staff.

So a decent backup centre then. Is only 26 aswell. Wouldnt surprise me to see him get 5 mil a year.

Pretty much yep.

If the cap goes up as expected wouldn't be surprised to see him get something close to $5 mil. He's more Mareese Speights than Mozgov though.

How is Lou Amundson still a thing?

How is Lou Amundson still a thing?

Coz he actually gives a stuff on the court, which gives him a leg up on 33% of the league to begin with.

Averages 10 boards, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal per 36 on the season with a PER of 15, which easily makes him one of the Knicks best players.

By way of comparison, Noel averages 9 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals per 36 with a PER of 13.8.

You can knock off the same per/36 with Furkan Aldemir who probably has the same career trajectory as Amundson which is totally fine, just not particularly interesting.

It can be done with a lot of players, however you were asking how Amundson was still a player in this league - his stats illustrate why.

I could have gone with the old 'hustle and great team mate' line, but that's slightly pejorative as the Knicks are clearly better when he plays. Same applies for Galloway and Shved incidentally.

I just found it ironic that his stats are pretty much identical to Noel's, who not only stuffed him in that gif, but who has been garnering much praise of late.

 

[hamG]

Brutal ... but like its a foul to push off with your other arm. It is subtle but he leads with his forearm, pushes and then hooks in the dunk. But the NBA don't call it or do call it or don't I dunno. Sometimes it must suck really trying to defend the rim.

Nash retired... Officially

 

[fidstar]

Nash retired... Officially

One of my top 10 favorite players of all time. Mainly because I could actually imagine playing like him.

 

[peternorth]

Nash retired... Officially

we should take a moment to thank our stars/god for being blessed to have seen this man in action. revolutionalised the point guard position while demonstrating a penchant for the basics (shooting).

thanks for the memories pear (nashy)

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Thanks for the memories SJ Nash.

A true bucket list item was ticked off when I saw him play in Phoenix. Will never forget it.

Congratulations on a magnificent career 2 time.

 

[stewie griffen]

Time for Niko thibs

 

[Gak Attack]

Don't think I've seen worse D than the first quarter of the rockets/suns game and that includes all star games. So many uncontested layups.

Playing small ball and had 26 points in the paint in the first lol.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Once again our starters are playing poor defense on the road.

Lillard is in some kind of slump right now. Missing matthews 3 point shooting and defense badly

 

[Drumroe]

Dinwiddie!!

 

[djrossie16]
