3/13/2018 Can We Take a Second to Remember the Knicks Drafted Frank Ntilikina Over Dennis Smith Jr.Read NowBy DjackTonight, Dennis Smith Jr. played his first ever game in Madison Square Garden. It should've been one of many games played in MSG this season since the Knicks had the opportunity to draft him. Instead, the Knicks choose some bum from France named Frank Ntilikina, forcing themselves back into the continuous spiral of misery that surrounds this franchise. Dennis Smith Jr. was the only hope for this franchise, anyone with a brain knew the Knicks should draft him if by some miracle he were availiable at #9. Then, when he was availiable and the Knicks had a chance to finally pull themselves out of irrelevancy for good, they did what the Knicks do best, and butchered the fucking shit out of the pick. I remember Knick fans trying to rationalize the decision to take Frank over Dennis Smith Jr., which I simply responded with how it will be the biggest mistake in recent franchise history. Actually, I believe I even have the tweet to prove it: While Frank Ntilikina had 4 points, 6 assists, and 2 rebounds, Dennis Smith was busy putting up a real stat line of 17 points, 2 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block on the way to an easy win over the Knicks. That could've been Dennis Smith Jr. lighting it up for the Knicks tonight giving the fans hope for the future. Instead, Knick fans watched the trio of Trey Burke, Emmanuel Muddiay, and Frank Ntilikina run the point guard carousel in New York.

By DjackJR Smith was suspended one game for conduct detrimental to the team. Turns out that the detrimental conduct to the team was him throwing soup at assistant coach Damon Jones. Damon Jones, is a former player for the Cavs back when Lebron had his first stint in Cleveland. He's there now as a shooting coach. My guess as to what happened is that Damon Jones was telling JR to stop sucking ass and JR threw his soup at him. Was it hot soup or was it like a gazpacho. The difference in the temperature of the soup makes all the difference in this situation. JR Smith has been terrible this season. His offense is declining, he's shooting under 40% from the field, and his 3pt % is 36%. As if that isn't bad enough, his defense is actually so bad that he's a detriment to the team when he's playing. Maybe, Ty Lue asked Jones to piss off Smith so he could suspend him, although it would've been for more than one game if that was the case. Anyways, this is a hilarious story. JR Smith out here throwing soup at coaches is peak JR, which we haven't seen for quite sometime. All I know is JR Smith won't be allowed to have soup on his person anymore. No soup for you JR. The perfect transition into showing you an all time Seinfeld scene that is totally relatable to what is going on in the Cavs cafeteria at this moment. By DjackWhy did you have to do it to me IT. I had accepted the fate of the Lakers once again not making the playoffs. I will admit, I began to dabble with the thought last night after smoking the Heat by 20 points. Then, I looked at the current standing, and realized there's no possible way the Lakers make the playoffs. I wake up this morning and see IT talking that shit that he's trying to make the playoffs. He brought me back in and now all I can think about is the unlikely miracle it would take for the Lakers to reach the playoffs. Currently, the Lakers sit 7 games out of the 8 seed with 3 teams ahead of them, and 21 games to go in the regular season. The odds are stacked extremely high against the Lakers.
The Lakers are 4-0 since the all star break or as others might put it, since Lonzo Ball's return. If we can turn that into 25-0 after the all star break, I can almost guarantee we make the playoffs. Obviously, that won't happen. Looking at it practically, there's nothing that'd sway anyone to think the Lakers can possibly make this run. Not even the most delusional of fans could possibly think 7 games behind in the loss column could be made up in just 21 games. The Lakers young talent is good and each game they're improving, which is all that really matters. The presence on IT as a scorer and established vet is most definitley going to help improve this team in terms of winning and losing. I was the first one to say that the Lakers were going to be an above .500 team post all star break. Nevertheless, don't get your hopes up that we make the playoffs, just pray we keep playing basketball the way we are right now because this team has been fun as fuck to watch. With all that being said, I'm the same guy that thinks St.Johns is about to run the table and win the BIg East tournament. Crazier things have happened. That's why I'm fully aboard the Lakers sneaking in as the 8th seed train. Why not us. The Jazz stink, the Clippers are even worse, and the Nuggets are notorious for finding a way to ruin their chances at making the playoffs. Lakers need to go full throttle the rest of the way. No bad games, as a matter of, fact no more bad quarters. That's what it's going to take to pull off this miracle. IT wants to prove something to the league now is the time to do it by resurrecting this Lakers franchise and carry them to the playoffs. Let's fucking go, LakeShow 2.0 boutta run it. |
