how is BD bad? Hes doing good considering here has not played in a long time.

you ever find it strange that New York has all these guys BEASTIN and most clutch player evar yet still having a losing record?

I agree. And I feel dirty for it.

BD knows how to play with assholes like Melo.

Lin, Shump/JR, (should be landry), Dragonborn, and whogivesafuck off the bench is fucking great.

 

[commish]

how is BD bad? Hes doing good considering here has not played in a long time.

He's shooting under 30% from the field and has almost as many TOs per game as points. This is "good"? Even considering his layoff, he's been making some absolutely stupid decisions and seems half a step slower than everyone else. He'll improve and he has moments of adequacy, but Knicks fans standards have to be pretty low to think he'd be an improvement on Lin.

Injuries, bad coach, and suckage.

Basically, Knicks culture.

 

[SephCast]

An extremely overrated one. Combine the fact that Carlisle had his team primed to defend Jesus instead of a point guard (Putting your best help defender on Lin? That's your answer? Spo got outcoached by this guy?) and sure why not. Nazr put up 20/20 games on solid teams. Doesn't mean too much.

I too thought the Mavs were an overrated Defense, but I looked it up and they're 3rd in DRtg.

The most common disease of GH excess is a pituitary tumor composed of somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary. These somatotroph adenomas are benign and grow slowly, gradually producing more and more GH. For years, the principal clinical problems are those of GH excess. Eventually, the adenoma may become large enough to cause headaches, impair vision by pressure on the optic nerves, or cause deficiency of other pituitary hormones by displacement.

Prolonged GH excess thickens the bones of the jaw, fingers and toes. Resulting heaviness of the jaw and increased size of digits is referred to as acromegaly. Accompanying problems can include sweating, pressure on nerves (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome), muscle weakness, excess sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), insulin resistance or even a rare form of type 2 diabetes, and reduced sexual function.

I'll just leave this here.

The best part about that game was Knicks-age saying "He doesn't play well against good defense"

Hahahaha oh man, i can hardly breathe. They say that as casually as "his ankle is sprained he's having a bad game", "guys he doesn't play well against good defense it's cool".

Anyone else think that Tyson/Melo for Howard trade is good? I just think the knicks at this point just have a hard time with so much talent. Lin/Howard pick and roll would be amazing with, novak sniping from 3. If they can somehow trick Otis into taking a Stat/Tyson trade (yeah it won't happen) they could have Melo coming off the bench as just a pure scoring unit.

You're such an idiot. Nobody said those things. And you talk about Melo coming off the bench like it's Team USA. Please, tell us more about basketball, I get a feel you'll be a real teacher.

Shit, mentioning Howard playing the pick and roll like he does it a lot? You never watch the Magic. He's good at it but that's not the way he plays.

[darkside31337]

Man I can't believe you guys are accusing Wade of something.

The Magic don't have a PG. In New York, Dwight would have Baron.

Jameer Nelson has been thoroughly outplaying Baron Davis since BD's return. He's been good the past month or so.

Shit, mentioning Howard playing the pick and roll like he does it a lot? You never watch the Magic. He's good at it but that's not the way he plays.

The Magic used to run it all the time not too long ago.

You'll have to forgive me, i know no knicks fan's would actually use that as an excuse, and nobody actually said it, it's just so funny to me.

For me i would rather have Melo coming off the bench as a pure scorer since he hardly plays defense anyways (and he's a ball stopper).

Of course Mike's the head coach so this will never happen but i think it would be better to have all your starters be good defensively and share the ball and have it be a multi dimensional attack. Melo can be like a super O.J mayo or james harden and do whatever the hell he wants and i think he would thrive on that freedom. Maybe it's a dumb idea but i think it could work.

tyson/amare

howard/ryan anderson/hedo

THIS TRADE IS SUCCESSFUL

great trade

otis should take it, but maybe hed throw in a pick to not rob us too much

canuck you do know that, excluding the final game, carmelo was by a fair bit best player during that 2008 gold medal run yeah

did none of you watch the olympics because of timezone stuff or something

the man is designed to play fiba ball

Get this garbage out of here. Ryan Anderson is a better player than Stat. And he's making about 50 billion dollars less.

i dont know man, otis has said he wants to keep the team from bottoming out and still stay in the playoffs

knowing otis, a top east centre and a top east power forward gonna look mighty tasty

knicks should as a part of the deal offer to pay 50% of amares contract

that way no knees is only costing you 9 million per

who wouldnt take a flier on amare at 9 million

do it otis, for your loyal fans whove stuck with you

I don't man. Otis has made some dumb trades and signed bad contracts. This is...... this is in another galaxy

Joe Lacob on the Warrior's first half of the season

Clearly, we would like to have a better won-loss record. Injuries to Kwamme Brown and Steph Curry have hurt to some extent. We knew we needed more rebounding and defense in the middle and thought we had somewhat addressed that with our offseason signing of Kwamme Brown. And the Steph Curry ankle situation has unfortunately lingered.

“BUT , there is also some good news!! Mark Jackson has been exactly what we envisioned. He is a leader, has clearly changed the culture for the better and has our team playing hard almost every night.

“David Lee has had a very good season and outplays his opposite number virtually every game. Monta Ellis tops the league’s 2 guards in assists and continues to score at a league top 10 level. Steph Curry has been very good when able. Ekpe Udoh has worked hard and been a game changer on defense.

“Our revamped bench has performed well. New additions including Brandon Rush, Nate Robinson, and Dominic McGuire have played well and our draft of Klay Thompson, Charles Jenkins and Jeremy Tyler is promising (and Chris Wright).

“We have been in most games and lost 9 games where we were up 1, tied or down 1 point in the last 90 seconds. They are still losses but we think indicates we are not far away.

“The buck stops here! Our basketball ops staff and ultimately ownership needs to give Mark and this coaching staff more key pieces. We and I take this responsibility. We have three opportunities to improve –the draft, free agency and trades. We will keep working on all fronts until we get it done, though we will not make moves just to make moves. We will be thoughtful and strike when it is to our advantage.

“One final point. There has been a lot of talk in the media regarding intentional losing in order to advantage future draft positioning. That will NEVER happen. Never. We are working very hard every day to change the culture of this organization. This Warriors team works very hard and we are proud of their efforts. We will continue to try to win not only every game, but every single quarter and every single possession. Teaching a team to lose is just NOT an option.”

I'm really starting to hate this new ownership..Hand down man down is a shit coach and at our current pace, we're set to improve by 1 win (% wise- the team plays essentially like how they did last year with Smart as coach)...yes David Lee is getting numbers but if you actually watched your team play, you'd know that he isn't exactly dominating his matchup.

lol Lebron mad he missed the lay up, tries to get tough with Troy Murphy, Ron gets in the middle and he calms down quick

edit: check it, I think Lebron actually got backed down by PAU of all people lol

Haha Wade, go back to your herpes girlfriend.

Wade dun goofed.

lol RIP Wade


who will lebron pass to now :O

so lebron trying to get out of the game so he would not have to take the last shot?

I don't see how Bron hurt himself. Ankles weren't twisted.

LeBron puling a Babe Ruth, calling his shot, pointing to where he's going to pass the ball to in the closing seconds

Kobe's hairline is worse than Brons

Kobe is 34(?), Bron is 26(?)... and even though Kobe's hairline is way further back, it still looks better than Bron's. Weird.

lol Wade staring down Bron while he shook hands with the lakers bench.

Skimmed thru yesterday's posts. OMG.

That's actually pretty cool though, i love me some Lecrae. Hope New York doesn't change him, the kid's bound to make mistakes on and off the court, but hopefully he just keeps that perspective of looking at it from God's point of view and not worrying about the media or any distractions.

Actually, Dwayne Fyade might not have to worry about contracting any of his whore girlfriend's STDs afterall:

Knicks are top 10 in defensive efficiency.

I buy this partially because Melo/Amar'e missed a lot of games and their backups are pretty much just defenders (walker, jeffries) and then you throw in Tyson.

It will steadily climb up now, though. They'd also had the league's easiest SOS so far at .450. lol

canuck you do know that, excluding the final game, carmelo was by a fair bit best player during that 2008 gold medal run yeah

duki, your memory is bad, duki

you're confusing 2008 olympics with the 2007 qualifiers.

Melo scored 15 a game on 52% and 25% from 3 shooting in the olympics duki.

Wade scored more on 72% shooting.

Lebron about the same on 67% shooting.

Kobe also had a higher eFG%

He only shot better than tayshaun and boozer duki!
