I'll be the first to admit that Rose is injury prone, or better yet snake bitten. But for you to compare his REAL injuries (torn ACL, torn meniscus - 2x, fractured orbital bone) to Putback-P's aches and pains shows how much of a nut you truly are...nazrmohamed wrote:Injuries aren't a measure of softness or else Dock Rose would be considered soft...
Oh my bad, I thought we were talking about the entire season, to which I thought I gave a decent argument. Not a single game. I once watched Patrick Ewing score a single point in a game he played 36 minutes in. I guess he can't score.but melo and rose didn't even play against the celtics
We tuned in to that game just to watch The Kristaps Porzingis Show. To see what he'd do without Rose crowding the driving lanes and Melo crowding the paint (although statistically, Melo very rarely plays in the paint this year)... And KP played soft. Now, im not going to go quite as far as KFISF and say that KP IS soft... but he certainly played soft
Either way, Porzingis has a goal of getting stronger in his base and becoming more aggressive offensively.
"Getting stronger. That’s going to be a major key for me. And staying low — offensively and defensively. It’s going to be leg strength," Porzingis said. "Driving to the hoop is going to be big for me. I’m going to work so hard this summer. It’s going to be a huge summer for me. It’s going to be a long summer, but I’m excited about it and coming back better."
No need of certain weight IMO..lxn_ wrote:^^ I really hope you're right and he does come back a lot stronger. I just hope he sets some measurable goals like reach a certain weight for example. In my opinion 245 is the ideal weight and see how he does from there, just handle it carefully.
The 7-foot-3, 240-pound Knicks forward’s offseason goal is to get stronger, and he said he will use untraditional methods — he noted boxing among them — in addition to lifting weights.
“I’ll be doing a little bit of something I haven’t done before that’s not attached to basketball maybe that will help my game,’’ Porzingis said. “I’ll experiment a bit over the summer.’’
Of course, lifting weights is the major priority. Porzingis, 21, says his offseason regimen will be “more focused’’ than last season. The Knicks coaching staff felt he wasn’t strong enough to hold deep position on the low post and sometimes, on his drives, he got knocked off his stride.
“No. 1 is hitting the weight room, being there twice a day, living in there 24/7,’’ Porzingis said Wednesday when the Knicks won their season finale over the 76ers. “It’s going to be a huge summer for me, to get better and come into next season stronger.
“Last summer I was still learning what I wanted to do, what I wanted my routine to look like. This year it’ll be clearer — when I want to work out, how long, what I need to work on more, what I need to focus on. It’s a little clearer what I want to do this offseason.’’
Help you?..KnicksFanInSouthFL wrote:It's all background noise until I either see an improvement to his game or his he comes into next season's training camp lookin' like Ivan Drago...
That said, I wanna believe in him but he has to help me.
if he gets injured going Drago, he is indeed too soft to play the type of basketball i've been watching in the playoffs this weekend.NYGM wrote: Help you?..
Nahh.. The kid is legit..
No need to get injured going Drago.. Let's see him grow...
Soft? WTF are you talking about?..H20Knick wrote:

Different players... Embiid is really good IMO..H20Knick wrote:Side note:
Anyone want to comment on Embiid's higher ppg, rpg, bpg, apg, in 7 FEWER mpg with a higher FG% AND 3pt% in his short rookie season compared to KP this year?
People keep talking about bulking up..lxn_ wrote:^^^^
Why keep bringing up Ben Simmons? the dude added 25-30lbs in one summers ofcourse hell get injured. No one here suggests KP do that. Just add 4-7lbs of muscle is reasonable IMO, just anything measurable to know if he actually got stronger. He came in to camp the same weight as his rookie season that is whats disappointing to me.
