The players are selfish and the coach is clueless

The most interesting thing regarding last night's loss to the Houston Rockets, 118-99, was the fact that both the coach and the "stars" on this team completely ignore Kristaps Porzingis. KP is their only hope of winning every game and I fear its going to take the Knicks to be mathematically eliminated before they learn this lesson.

The duo of Anthony and Rose continue to hog the ball and not play within the offense making sure that KP gets touches in his range while at the same time continuing to develop him for the future.

Anthony and Rose feel as if this is their team and Rose his opportunity to get one more max contract. He doesn't give a damn about playing team basketball.

You'd have thought that layup after dunk by the Rockets that Coach Hornacek would have put the teams best rim protector on the court for the entire 4th quarter. But no, KP sat on the bench until for all intents and purposes the game was over with 3 minutes remaining.

Noah's best and most athletic years are a distant memory. Your best hope at center on defense is KP and Noah needs to be assigned to the apposing team's power forward. Fact is Jackson should never have allowed Brook Lopez to leave this team.

Phil Jackson's presence is not always welcomed by the players and some of the media in this town but I'd like to see Phil have one more meeting with the entire team. In that meeting I want Phil to look directly at Melo and Rose and state "This team ain't about you or you. He (KP) is the future and you better start playing like it."

Unfortunately Knicks fans this will never happen in a million years. You are going to see KP not develop enough on either end of the floor because the players are selfish and the coach is clueless.

If you want to watch a New York team hustle on offense and defense and fight until the last second the show is in Brooklyn. The Nets are the most entertaining team in New York City right now even win they lose.

Knicks lose again, Rockets 118 the Knicks 99

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Are Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose really complaining that the triangle is taking them out of their comfort zones and guys should be allowed to continue to do what's familiar?!?

Hey you dumb fucks maybe doing what's familiar all these years is precisely why you two idiots haven't won shit.

If I were a Knicks fan I'd jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. But I'm not I just get to sit back and laugh while this team does nothing again this season, Phil Jackson opts out at the end of the season and Rose's stubbornness and stupidity keeps him from a new max deal.

A deal that he isn't bright enough to understand only a winning season and deep playoff run would actually bring him.

Good fucking grief.

Is Derrick Rose as dumb as a stump ?

The NBA league pass payment request hit my account this morning and I knew that basketball season was upon us once again.

The past few days I had been reading reports out of Chicago that weren't to favorable towards Derrick Rose. I just assumed that it was old fans disgruntled because Rose hadn't brought them any championships and spent much of his career not on the floor due to injuries. But then an interesting pattern began to appear.

The writers and fans went on to say that greatest frustration with Rose was his low basketball IQ and his inability the learn the offense. So much so that the playbook had to be dumbed down in order for him to manage the games.

I still had a problem with the statements until I read the New York Daily News this morning and all the extremely disturbing pieces began falling into place.

Stefan Bondy reported on Rose's struggle to grasp the triangle offense. Are the folks in Chicago correct? Is  Derrick Rose as dumb as a stump and can't figure out the triangle?

We shall see but one thing that should alarm Knicks fans were Derrick's haunting words. "I think at the end of the game or a game winning shot or something like that I don't think it's going to be in the triangle. Either me or Melo create and take the shot".

So Rose came to this conclusion himself based upon all the winning that he and Melo have done in their careers?

You Knicks fans are going to have a long fucking season and I can't wait.

Watching Dense Derrick is going to be fun.
