thats some madden level shit right there

thats what i was aiming for. him or for those college basketball fans, Bob Knight

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Yeah, but I think Blair is at his best against other team's second units or at the end of the other team's first unit rotation (when players are getting a bit gassed, his energy can really cause troubles). And if we can pair him with Tim/Dice/Splitter, even better. I still don't like Bonner/Blair. Especially against a team with bigs that play in the post.

Oh yeah Bonner/Blair is murder. I hate it too.

I like how Blair's energy sets the tone for us early. I think he really keeps the guys focused.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Is there any way to measure just how much better the Knicks are since the trade? They just seem to click so much better now.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Al Harrington just pulled an Antoine Walker and did an little jig on the floor.

lol

 

[Knux-Future]

WTF was Splitter doing?

 

[obijkenobi]

Would be awesome if we would defend the 3 tonight.

 

[jobber]

fuck this game

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Why is Jordan Crawford allowed to play?

 

[Kogepan]

Depends what the cap figure is.

http://hoopshype.com/salaries/new_york.htm

they're at 46 million WITHOUT billups player option. so if dump him they will have about ~8 million to get another starting PG, or they go with douglas as the starter and use it on a decent C.

At this point, this is probably the best option. TWO max contracts really limit what they can do.

 

[obijkenobi]

Pop needed to take that time out a minute ago. We're playing really sloppy on offense and not rotating on defense. We're trying to run with Denver which is dumb.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Our defense without Timmy is comically bad.

 

[Black Mamba]

No Duncan, No Defense.

thanks Lala Vazquez

Come on suns came back from 21 point deficit against the lakers can do a 6 point deficit against the raps.

get em brooks.

 

[giri]

He wouldn't start on several of those. George, Thornton, Harden are all very arguably better and Reddick guarding points is pain. Bass wouldn't start on:

.

Reddick is better than all 3 of those guys, and handily soo.

I wouldn't argue bass or turk, Bass is too under sized, and turk is too ball.

Knicks lost a winnable game because they used a SF on Dwight and went away from Melo for half of the 4th qtr. I still believe they can beat anyone in the East except Boston though.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Manu is amazing.

Lets see if we can hit 130!

 

[obijkenobi]

Our defense without Timmy is comically bad.

Wasn't there someone from Lakers-Age trying to say that Duncan getting hurt could help the Spurs since we weren't really using him anyway? This was the time he first got hurt against the warriors (fuck those assholes btw)

 

[Adam Blade]

Gordon is so awesome.

Granted, it's the Wizards, but...

 

[Red Blaster]

What have the Knicks demonstrated that makes you believe they can beat any of the other 7 playoff teams in the East. They'd lose to the Pacecars at the rate they're going.

 

[jobber]

Frye is clearly MVP

 

[Pkaz01]

If only frye played like this last year .

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Knicks lost a winnable game because they used a SF on Dwight and went away from Melo for half of the 4th qtr. I still believe they can beat anyone in the East except Boston though.

so essentially a sub .500 record makes you the 2nd best team in the East? What the fuck is wrong with you?

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Knicks lost a winnable game because they traded away all their supporting role players for a proven loser.

I know, I still don't know what they were thinking.

 

[Blackface]

Can I just come out and say it?

I told all the NY fans this would happen. Yet I got trolled and called retarded.

FUCKING LAWL.

 

[jobber]

LOL Bayless tried to body Frye

 

[Pkaz01]

No one likes you bayless go sit down.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

That was probably old man jobber. He doesn't appreciate Timmy for some reason.

SI: "There is No Overstating Duncan's Importance":

Duncan is the main (and possibly only) thing standing between the Spurs and defensive mediocrity. He is the team’s sole reliable rim protector, and the Spurs have quietly allowed a whopping six more points per 100 possessions with Duncan on the bench this season, according to Basketball Value. For the 28 minutes Duncan is on the floor every game, the Spurs defend only a smidgen worse than Boston and Chicago — and that difference vanishes once you factor in how much more potent Western Conference offenses are than their counterparts in the East. With Duncan on the bench, San Antonio defends like a league-average team.

Duncan #1 in NBA in BLK/PF and no one else is even close. He has 1.2, McGee, the next best, has .84

 

[Black Mamba]

Cloudy naively believes Melo is a top 5 player in the league.

Knicks have 4 1/2 players total. You can't beat any legit teams with that in a series.

 

[Derwind]

Clearly the Raps are only good at letting there Fanbase down. -_-

At least they have a high ceiling in terms of potential as a team, I mean when you've hit rock bottom, thats usually the case. :shrug

But we've hit rock bottom for like 3 years now....-_-....*sigh*

 

[giri]

If only frye played like this last year in the post season.

Fixed.

 

[Branduil]

Hey NY, I have a starting-quality center right here for you...

 

[Pkaz01]

Fixed.

Well in that case it was mostly the lakers series cause he tore up the spurs.

 

[Cloudy]

so essentially a sub .500 record makes you the 2nd best team in the East? What the fuck is wrong with you?

I'm not saying they're the second best but they have the 2nd or 3rd best "big 3" and depth won't mean much in the playoffs. D'Antoni needs to get a clue and stop playing Williams vs bigs though lol

 

[giri]

so essentially a sub .500 record makes you the 2nd best team in the East? What the fuck is wrong with you?

I CAN see them winning one of games against just about anyone. I can't see it over 7 games.

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Hope Suns win this one after that hell of a game yesterday

 

[Jeff-DSA]

FUCKING LAWL.

I said the same thing, man. We should be GMs.

Highest of fives!

Duncan #1 in NBA in BLK/PF and no one else is even close. He has 1.2, McGee, the next best, has .84

Spurs with Duncan: 101.5 DEff
Spurs w/o Duncan: 107.5 DEff

he's not as quick as he used to be on defense, but he's still better than 95% of the other players. He's the backbone of that defense.

 

[dream]

Holy shit, that dunk...

 

[Derwind]

Based Ed!!!

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Suns are totally wiped out, Raps got this one.

 

[Derwind]

Wow, Phoenix is pretty gassed from playing the Lakers, normally they're ahead by 10 not down by 6....:/

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'm not saying they're the second best but they have the 2nd or 3rd best "big 3" and depth won't mean much in the playoffs. D'Antoni needs to get a clue and stop playing Williams vs bigs though lol

Depth doesn't matter AS much, but you still have to be able to go 5-7 deep. 3 deep and no defense won't do shit come playoff time. And he has to play Williams against bigs because they don't have shit else, and they are already wearing out Amare on offense making him play the best big defensively will kill him (not that he plays any D anyway). You are crazy. They would probably lose a 7 game series to the fucking Hawks, let alone the Heat or Bulls or Magic.

 

[Pkaz01]

Interesting suns are playing nash off ball.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Suns are totally wiped out, Raps got this one.

It doesn't help that they continue to play highspeed bball

 

[overcast]

Suns down against the raptors. They are pretty tired.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Raps got this one.

After several months of watching this team, I don't know what would possess me to write something like this.

 

[Derwind]

*ssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

The Raps playing the worst D ever....smfh
