I totally disagree with the Jefferson not caring thing, that dude looks like he is going to commit suicide after every loss.

Then why doesn't he do what it takes to win? He shoots us out of so many games it's not even funny. Never mind the fact that he only gets those 12 boards because he's tall. He forgets to box out way, way too much. He just doesn't get a lot of effort plays.
 
If the Knicks win tonight and Lin is able to outscore Bosh, Wade and Lebron tomorrow surely he has to be talked about as one of the greats of the game. His humility, talent and piety is unmatched in this sports game and should be adulated by every ethnicity. Glory to God for his success!
I woke up from my slumber to reply that this is a fantastic post.
Would read again.
Someone highlight this man's words after the game

i still disagree, he might be our only consistent offensive player. He'll usually shoot close to 50% on 15 shots, this isn't some Brandon Jennings situation of shoot out of games-ness. I love Millsap but he is too short too be a truely effective post player.
 
But when Jefferson is cold, he never stop shooting. He needs to know when to defer to other players. He's old enough to understand how that works.

I'd also like to see Favors and Kanter getting more than 20 combined minutes, especially on nights when Al is garbage bombing.

Harris is BY FAR the bigger issue though, so let's put the Al talk on the back burner. Hearing that Harris is just blatantly running the wrong plays is ridiculous. Last night Corbin had no choice but to play with because of the foul and availability issues, but if he's doing that, it needs to be taken care of.
 
Harris sucks and we won't be a good team until we get a good PG. I like Kanter so far but im thinking the kid that went to Detroit might have been a better pick.
 
If Lin wins tonight, and plays well, I am 100% certain the MVP talk will start. And you know what? I don't know that I necessarily disagree with it.

Idk about that. He needs to keep the turnovers down to under 4 on average.

He is a difference maker for sure. We win if Melo plays decent and Stat becomes the 6'10" stats not the near 7 ft one :/

To be honest. the key will be the shooting of JR Smith and Novamatic.

Kanter just needs to toughen up a bit. He's never played with anybody close to NBA level talent or size. He's gone from completely embarrassing to productive, but he has a lot to learn. Obviously the two years off hurt too. He may prove to be the better pick over time, and I think it's worth gambling on a big who has shown a potential for skillful play.

The hell did you do to that image?
The new Bill Simmons article is so bad.
I liked:
He'd be the best low-post guy you've had since Kevin McHale — "

Heinsohn [in background]: "Or Dino Radja!"
But then I enjoy any mention of Dino Radja.

I thought you wanted a good point guard.

I wouldnt be mad at TInsley getting more mins if it meant Harris not getting any.
 

Surely you understand that his talents are derived from the constitution of both his faith and his ethnicity. As an asian, Jeremy Lin is able to survey the landscape of the court holistically, taking in more of the background and court than would one with a traditional Western culture and genetics. It is what allows him to throw passing balls to his team mates to make goals so easily. In this he has already shown superior to numerous other players, even those earning millions more than him!

Additionally, his faith has provided him the fortitude to continue in spite of all the adversity thrown in his way by those jealous of his abilities.

It is a belief of mine that he will prove to be one of the greatest to play this sports game. He has already broken records that have stood the test of time, and will continue so long as he maintains focused with one eye to the Heavens and one to his lineage.

Bosh, Wade and Lebron are nothing but athletes. They are not as complete and thus can't compete with Jeremy.

The Knicks will win by many points tonight.

My least favorite simmons'ism is the

*cut to "x" nodding*
*cut to "x" nodding emphatically*

Thats just bad writing, and he overuses it. Its the equivalent of a character in a comic book going "IM SO COOL" in order to make the audience think that character is actually cool.

Ok, you got me the first time. Oops.

compared to Harris, he looks fantastic.
If we flipped the number of Jazz games and number of Pistons games you've watched I think the sentiment would change.

Wait, what am I saying. I'll offer him, Prince, Stuckey and Charlie V for Harris, Raja Bell, C.J. Miles (who I'll cut and you can sign back like Lindsey Hunter) and the Okur Exception.

I know people who started adding this to their own writing. It was non-sports topics and during Simmons one hiatus (for a book or 30 for 30) though so I went "where do I hate this from?" for a bit. Then he did a new mailbag or something.
 
I love when Colin Cowherd purposely takes callers with opposing viewpoints solely to hear them talk for 5 seconds then blast and make fun of them then hang up on them

Why would you listen to him? And how are you hearing him now if you're in Dallas? Listening to it online?

I, acting on behalf of Knicks-age, completely distance ourselves from any of the sentiments expressed in the above post.
 
Holy shit at Cowherd shitting on Chicago. One caller said a package set around Noah and Boozer for Howard, and he just goes on about how Chicago fans are idiots for wanting to trade Deng for Howard. He then goes on a rant about how Chicago fans are idiots for loving Deng, and that the Lakers would be idiots for wanting Gasol for Deng. No one even brought that up. He just went on a rant about Deng. He then goes on to list RON ARTEST as an actual asset of the Lakers. Clearly, this man doesn't watch any basketball games except ones involving Lakers and Heat. Ron Artest people. Shits on Deng, loves Artest. He said the Lakers already have a good SF who can score.

I can't stand Cowherd.

He's the reason I don't have Kellerman on 1050AM anymore. Kellerman was fantastic. He was the NY-biased, Wu-Tang quoting, sabermetric talking host that NY deserved.

eww cowherd. I don't think there is a single host on radio that comes across as fake as he does.
 
Has Knight encountered a jumpshot he didn't love yet? I don't think he can dribble well at all either.
He seems like one of those guys who is a good dribbler, but generally only knows how to dribble to create a shot like say a Steve Francis. Not like a Nash or Kidd or Brevin Knight who can dribble all over the court looking for the play to make.

He also appears to have the talent to get a lot better as a point guard but right now he has a bit of a one track mind in terms of "I'm going to setup Greg" (which he is generally one of the better Pistons at doing so) or "I'm going to make a move on this guy and if I have it take the shot" to the point that Stuckey has been the better point guard recently. I like the two together which Frank has found out he is apparently allowed to do. But that still winds up in a bunch of plays where Stuckey is just putting it on the floor and driving because he decided he's going to and Knight pulling up for a jumper because well, everyone else has gotten to shoot so it's his turn.

Yet Will Bynum and Walker D still find their way onto the court. (And Vernon Macklin can't, but Damien Wilkins is also always good for a few minutes.)

Man, I fucking miss Kellerman. What do I have to do to have Jim Rome and Cowherd lose their shows and Kellerman get his back?

Kellerman is in LA now, Sperro for Kellerman.....you guys won that trade.

Here's the real kicker. Kellerman has a show. In Los Angeles. :(

Kills me that he can't talk daily about the Yanks and Knicks. Would have loved to have Kellerman & Kenney on after the Pineda deal and currently with Lin. He would have been complaining about Amare from day one of this season.

eww kellerman having to do disgusting LA radio.

Are you looking for a date or something?

I dunno whats it like in Portlandia, but here in texas a man can make an objective observation about another man without seeking intimacy. The man looked lonely, he prolly could use a compliment.

See? Jeff even knows he's solid.
