Knicks Face A Tough Ending To Another Tough Season

New York currently have 9 games left on the calender before the playoffs, the bottom line is that they aren't going to make the playoffs this year. But what has been a short-term goal for the team now seems even harder. There goal, to get there record back to .500, the same amount of wins and losses. For the team to do that they have got to win every single one of there last 9 games, its possible but doesn't look like its going to happen for the Knicks. New York have got to take each game as it comes though and maybe, just maybe they can get onto some kind of winning streak.

Nice write up Mike. Tough loss to the Heat. This chise is really good.

Thanks, Heat were tough that game but i face them in the next 3-4 games i think so hopefully i can get a win back. thanks, glad you like it

 

[mike3]

Only 9 gms left?

Yep, now 8, will post my game vs Raptors tomorrow

wanna see what u do in the offseason

no idea what i will do, when i started this season i thought my team was looking pretty good. Each position looked alright

PG: Sessions starting, House has been a good backup
SG: Nate has been pretty solid, if he struggles Hughes is there to backup
SF: Chandler, Posey, Gallinari can all play well
PF: Harrington has been average, but a good defensive backup in Turiaf is there aswell as Landry. Also players like Chandler and Gallinari can play PF against smaller lineups.
C: Lee has been consistant all year, he plays usually the whole game but if he gets tired O'Bryant will play some minutes

so im not sure what i need to do, ive noticed sometimes we struggle with height against taller teams. Lee plays C while my tallest at PF is probably Turiaf so maybe i could try and make a change there.. cause doesnt Lee play start at PF in real life?

 

[mike3]

landry at center? thats something i havent tried. I might give it a shot but otherwise im thinking of trading Harrington for a solid Center after i finish off this season, i have a few in mind but some of them are around Lee's height and there profile says Forward/Center so the way i see it, if i get a Forward/Center thats taller than Lee ill play him at C and Lee at PF

that way i still have some decent height in my team

update now, another bad result

Mike D'Antoni Speaks Out "There will be a big move this offseason"

Knicks Coach Mike D'Antoni has let it be known that The New York Knicks will be going after a PF/C this offseason, whether it be a signing of a free agent or a trade, something will occur. With only 8 games left Knicks management know that they've got to make a change, a big problem that New York had was height. Playing David Lee at center worked against smaller teams, but when Knicks come up against a taller team they struggle on D.

But its not just on D that has caused this issue, on offence only having one big man causes a problem, there biggest Power Forward is Ronny Turiaf at 6-10 which is pretty good but the talks are that Al Harrington might be on his way out. Harrington hasn't made his usual impact this season, especially on the Offensive end.

Some say that New York would be better with a better defensive threat at Center while moving David Lee to Power Forward which might make Lee even more threatning. Harrington isn't small but hes not very tall compared to other Power Forwards that he'll come up against.

So the question is, who should the Knicks go after? whether it be a young athletic Center in 7 foot Javale McGee from Washington who is a physical presence on both ends of the floor. Or should they go for some experience for a guy that everybody knows is passed his best, but back in his best days was a huge defensive presence. His height isnt all that impressive but if he could find some old form could be a great pickup, Ben Wallace.



Players That New York Have Shown Interest In:

Joakim Noah - JaVale McGee - Kevin Love - Ben Wallace

Drew Gooden - Roy Hibbert - Andrea Bargnani - Kendrick Perkins


Players That Could Be On The Out:

Al Harrington - Larry Hughes - Patrick O'Bryant

​

 

[Big C-Dub]

McGee FTW!

 

[mike3]

anyone but noah please

what dont you like about Noah? =P

McGee FTW!

Hes probably in the top 2 that i want

You're not getting KP. lol, and why do you want to lose Al Harrington? He's a monster.

Harrington was good my first season, he was my best scorer but we still had a terrible record. 2nd season he was pretty bad, not scoring a whole lot and Turiaf and Landry were good backups so when Harrington struggled he didnt get much court time.

The way i see it, its time for a change

get McGee, he is a monster

he is, ill have to see. Im wondering whether i want a more defensive or offensive minded guy

 

[mike3]

yeh i was liking that about McGee, hes good at offence and defence. I was looking at Roy Hibbert and JaVale McGee's stats and there very similiar

 

[Big C-Dub]

McGee has a 99 standing dunk. nuff said

I'm getting him on my chize in the off-season

Man, looks like your better off just going for a higher lottery pick from here on out.

I could yeh, but i didnt tick the edit draft prospects when i started this chise so the draft picks are all fake. so i probably wont use them.

try to shoot some more treys!
and its frustratin, aint it?

it is frustrating =P but ah well. Yeh i know thats one of my problems, its just seems like nobody else apart from house n nate can hit them. Even if there wide open, Posey, Chandler, Gallinari. it always seems like the miss there wide open 3's. ill try to shoot more treys next game though

 

[mike3]

yeh i might have to do that, even though i thought i new all there releases pretty well
