Hey man

Not everybody can beat the Kings!

 

[reilo]

In more pressing news, the Rockets are eighth in Hollinger's power rankings :lol

Eventhough they're in the bottom 10 in SOS AND their SOS over the past ten games is at .398? Coolios.

Well, IIRC they were in the top 15 before the soft schedule. That we're blowing out bad teams and beating average teams like the Lakers shows we're not as much of a pretender as the Losing-Streak Knicks.

I love this TrueHoop headline:

If no Melo, Knicks have potential Plan Bs

Somebody should let him know that we are past the letters thing.

Also...

The Knicks' other scenario would potentially bring Cleveland's proven role players Anderson Varejao and Daniel "Boobie" Gibson to Madison Square Garden. The Knicks are aware of their need for more toughness inside and Varejao would provide that.

:lol

 

[K.Jack]

Gibson is the one guy who the organization will not trade, let alone he and Andy at once.

 

[giri]

Eventhough they're in the bottom 10 in SOS AND their SOS over the past ten games is at .398? Coolios.

And sub .500

Their victory margin over the last 10 is +7.5 or so, which would be amongst the top in the league, and is the only thing i see that would explain it.

Such an odd system.

Oh man.

Donnie: "We want Gibson and Varejao, or nothing at all!"

 

[Blackace]

Not much better.

Well nun and bum rhyme

:lol

See, varejao's not horrible, he's a great role player, and as a defender and rebounder next to STAT would go ok. But for his contract, he's terrible. That contract is Joe Johnson bad.

I laughed more at the fact that they want to get a "tough interior presence" and their target is Andersen Varejao. Only under D'Antoni.

They won their Superbowl over the Lakers.

How is he not that? He's a goon.

Eh, he's tougher down there than LMA is.

So was Sideshow Bob on the Simpsons. And Sideshow Bob was taken down by Bart Simpson.

Their other current options are Amar'e and a guy named Timoféy. He's Mr. T by comparison.

Which makes it all that more hilarious, no?

Which reminds me, what happened to all the mozGOD all over the knicks face stuff that they were going on about in the off season? is he even getting off the bench?

You mean 2.4PPG/2.1RPG on 36FG% is not the stuff of legends?

Outside of the MSG thats like averaging 10 and 10

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Excited to watch DAL/ORL tonight. C-Webb just had an excellent piece breaking down Hedo's game from last night.

Hedo causes a lot of problems for opposing teams. Thats not just a token phrase people say all the time; its true...he works marvelously in ORL's system. Its all about effort now.

edit: oh shit, Nelson/J-Rich/Redick/Hedo/Dwight starting lineup!

So was Sideshow Bob on the Simpsons. And Sideshow Bob was taken down by Bart Simpson.

:lol

pretty good

 

[TylerD]

Thunder need to take care of the Bobkittens early so the guys can rest up for the Knicks tomorrow night.

 

[reilo]

Redick at SF? He's like Steve Blake size, no?

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Redick at SF? He's like Steve Blake size, no?

Its a ploy to bait Carlisle into Caron iso :lol

 

[pilonv1]

Redick at SF? He's like Steve Blake size, no?

I presume he's playing the 2 and Richardson the 3.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Oh god this starting lineup isn't working at all :lol

 

[Spooks]

Gibson is the one guy who the organization will not trade, let alone he and Andy at once.

I don't believe the Knicks have anything the Cavs would want.

 

[giri]

Jameer should be banned from shooting for 10 games.

 

[giri]

I don't believe the Knicks have anything the Cavs would want.

2020 first rounder?

 

[reilo]

2020 first rounder?

I don't think the Knicks have that first rounder available.

 

[Spooks]

wow, dat call on redick :lol

2020 first rounder?

:lol

 

[Justin Timberlake]

omg Redick didnt even touch him

phantom foul :lol

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Mavs making bad shots right now, they'll cool off, but this Magic team sucks anyway.

 

[K.Jack]

I don't believe the Knicks have anything the Cavs would want.

And plus, you'd likely have to take Jamison or Mo to get either one of them.

Our contract situations are SICK. $15M to Jamison next year? Fuuuuuuuuu.

 

[Spooks]

Surely we can trick someone into taking him, right?

 

[Sharp]

Leaving for Belize tonight, but I might as well pop in and point out that Orlando still looks like shit.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Did I hear that right? Haywood is a 26% FT shooter this season?

omg hack him every time...

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I thought I was prepared for the worst free throw shooter in the NBA.


I was not prepared.

 

[K.Jack]

Surely we can trick someone into taking him, right?

After the Lakers blow them out on Christmas, the Heat will panic and throw us a Wade deal. Straight up.

 

[reilo]

Bobcats: 53.3FG%, 1FTA
Thunder: 25FG%, 8FTA

Haywood reminds me of an assy created player in 2k11.

I'll take it.

And Mark Cuban is paying him $52mil.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Kevin McHale likes those Orlando trades. I mean, of course he does.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

BJ Mullens beat out Cole Aldrich for the backup center of the center. Not too depressed that the Jazz couldn't grab him now.

 

[Red Blaster]

Yay another game where we come out of the gate with no energy and have to play catch up the rest of the way. *sigh* Guess I should start getting used to this.

 

[Branduil]

Another quarter closed out crappily. Typical.

And Mark Cuban is paying him $52mil.

$42 million. It's bad enough without you adding millions of dollars.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Magic have missed some layups but honestly, thats par for the course for this personnel. None of the guys they acquired are great finishers.

Expect them to miss layups.

 

[reilo]

$42 million. It's bad enough without you adding millions of dollars.

Psht, like Dallas isn't picking up that $10mil option on his last year.

 

[reilo]

OKC has 15FTA in the first quarter while shooting 25FG%.

"It's all part of their gameplan!" etc etc.

 

[Branduil]

This team is such a sick joke. :lol Can't even hold onto a lead for 5 minutes.
