@michaelknowball @will_nba_hater The Cavs are just as good as the Pistons and the Spurs are a juggernaut just like OKC. Knicks only lucked out avoiding Boston, but if they swept the team that beat Boston, I'm not sure how much resistance the Celtics would've put up.

@CanadianCatCP If you're talking about elite offensively minded coaches, Russ had Sean Payton. The reason he didn't accomplish anything is because he was done by that point.

Pretty obviously Russ in Seattle is better than Stafford in DET, but Seattle Russ vs LAR Stafford is a fair convo.

@MidBallKnower @nickercolano Always better to have positive camp reports than not, but wouldn't put too much stock into them. Bryan Edwards and Marquez Callaway once got WR1 talks for the Raiders and Saints. Don't think anybody knows them anymore.

Hopefully MHJ and BTJ can bounce back this year though.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@MidBallKnower @nickercolano Not saying that he won't exceed 675, just saying that the reasoning is a bit off. Certainly, I could see him in the 450-650 range or the 1200+. Definitely has potential to get back on track but still, I would take say an MHJ over him right now.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@MidBallKnower @nickercolano Yes, but he was forcefed the ball as the supposed #1 option most of the year. It's like saying that a disappointing first round WR who puts up 700 yards in Year 1 will put up more as they grow. Often, they regress as their role declines.

@BreidenFehoko Brunson arguably passed Melo in Year 2, and ended all debates by reaching the ECF last year.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@BreidenFehoko Brunson has 7 playoff series wins with the Knicks as the #1 option. Melo had one. Brunson also has 3 second team all NBA's and a top 5 MVP finish as arguably the biggest playoff riser in the league.

@npparikh Fair, I just saw "hundreds of pages", which on the surface, would be a lot. With context, it's reasonable.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@npparikh Of course, not to question your judgment. It's just that sometimes professors assign mountains of work not realizing that it's not feasible. If your students can/have been able to handle it, all power to them.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@npparikh Even without it being strictly STEM, I found 120 pages of qualitatively & history focused architecture, 150 pages of dense econ, 40 pages of philosophy, and 25 hours on problem sets and labs to be my absolute limit last term, and that was without non-academic cares.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@npparikh Still, *hundreds* for a single course seems excessive-the most I'd assign as a professor would be 200 in a heavy week. Just too many classes and other academic priorities for students to handle more, let alone any consideration of recreational freedom.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@r0ckstep @vjoshuaadams He's saying that no matter the moment in time, we look upon the next generation with disdain for not meeting the academic standards we hold them to.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@NooneLovesNunz @TheDunkCentral @NBA__Courtside Trae Young's the low level employee, not the manager.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@statmuse Wemby has a tendency for high block games so maybe the 9.0 in a single game but the others (30 in 7 game is 4.3 a game) are well above his averages, so I don't think he'll hit either of those this year.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@OB______1 @Charlottean28 Technically 9-11 cuz you'd need to win a play-in game to make it.

When is Game 5 in the analytical Eastern Conference Finals?

[nick wright @getnickwright]

I am so incredibly happy for Knicks fans.

1994 was one of the most gut-wrenching Finals losses in NBA history.

Not getting back again until 1999, when Ewing had a torn Achilles and they were close to drawing dead to the Duncan-Robinson Spurs was a different type of cruelty.

And somehow never truly coming close in any season since then should have just been unfathomable. Instead, it was entirely predictable and at various times they were a national punch line.

To turn this season around from what it seemed like it was going to be (another promising but inevitably disappointing season), into what it became (the single most dominant month of playoff basketball from a margin of victory standpoint in the history of the NBA), is truly remarkable.

I am picking the Knicks in the Finals but more importantly I’ll be rooting for the Knicks in the Finals.

The NYC hoops fans deserve this moment.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@KING_TUFRESH @RMartial4 @FDSportsbook Nobody is doing it now either to be fair. Just Brunson.

[Rebuild Proponent @TimetoRebuildit]

@PranavSriraman @Sonicadvanced2 I think the most interesting one is Randle. Is he top 10? Is he above Melo? Is he above KAT? This era of Knicks basketball started with him-he took the franchise out of the depths of hell before Brunson elevated them to being a contender.
