Knicks (2-2) at Celtics (5-1) Preseason Game #6 10/19/16

[TrueFan]

Definitely a knicks-centric broadcast.  Talking about how they will be better when they play their starters. Yeah... we will be too bros.

On the pregame show, Billups said that Horford wouldn't move the needle at all for us. 

lol that's dumb

Yeah completely off.

[SHAQATTACK]

If it is Knicks or Lakers this channel can't suck up to the listeners enough.

Is Rozier getting close to unreadable??

Lol meant tradabl

Try not to get too excited until you see him do it for over 11 games in the regular season. That's usually how much time it takes for scouting to catch up to surprising play. I remember when delonte west shot like 65% from three for a full month and I started wondering if he could be the best shooter in the world.  I'll try to stay cautiously optimistic with Rozier.

Dont you think he would have to fall apart from the pressure at this point to not succeed?

The skills he has are smacking us right in the face. I only see him not being the player we see if he lets the pressure get to him or doesn't feel the confidence to carve out a role away from a more established player.

there has been instances of players who flourish in preseason and struggle in the regular season.  Hopefully that doesn't happen with Rozier. The shooting looks outstanding right now.

Zeller is awful

Its possible but hes been doing this with all skill. I can't see the skill just disappearing.

Makes sense, he only averaged 15 and 7.

That's due to context, though. He's already averaging those numbers in the preseason in less than 20 minutes a game.

And it goes beyond the numbers, too. His style of play is absolutely a perfect fit for us, along with added increased focus off of IT, increased shooting, and increased defense.

I think it's silly to think he won't make us any better when virtually everyone has talked about how good of a fit he is here.

(FYI - I wasn't sure if this was sarcasm or not since that's what he ultimately based his argument on, so I just assumed you were being serious.  )

Honestly a bit disappointed you didn't detect the sarcasm lol.

Nice pass, Marcus!

The shooting will obviously come down back to Earth a bit. The real question is going to be is if he can integrate his play with our other main guys and not rely so much on iso ball and penetration to score.

Why can't he carve out a role doing what he's good at?

Celtics fans complaining about a Knicks-centric broadcast  is way more annoying than a Knicks-centric broadcast.

Haha, it was pretty subtle, but at least I acknowledged the possibility that it was sarcasm!

Cut to the basket !

[positivitize]

I feel like they are daring Brown to shoot the three and it's paying off...

Rough game for Jaylen but he continues to show signs of what he might be in a few years if he figures things out and keeps working hard.
