This Knicks team can win a ring very easily.
You already are bro
This comment is even funnier because she's a fiend now.
And no, Wendy's girl isn't new to me.
Didn't see a foul there.

Game still doesn't matter.
It's nice if the Knicks win to continue the streak and do it against a fully-healthy Western Conference team while shorthanded themselves...but for me, this game is about Melo staying hot and getting that scoring title for bragging purposes. Considering the personnel available versus OKC, we should be down by 80 by now.

Don't worry about us, worry about the refs

It does matter the Knicks are trying to secure the second seed. Nobody wants to play Indiana with homecourt advantage in the playoffs.

I love Melo.
I would make a thread about this if I didn't think I would get banned for it.
Am I now? I really don't care about this game, division is locked up essentially and Indy gave us a freebie last night. I just want Melo to put up a lot of points for the scoring title. But if they fuck around and try to win I might catch feels...

Indy is looking very uneven down the stretch. You want to be playing your best so you can roll into the playoffs.

Knicks wasting hot shooting on the regular season.
If Melo of the past few games was in the playoff NY would at least make it to the second round.

We're not going to secure that second seed based on a win or loss versus a potential 60-win OKC team. We already trolled everyone this streak - I remember posting here about us winning 50 and having the usual suspects laugh at me/call me crazy in this thread - so I'm not going to push it. This remains a nice win if we can get it, but we can do more to lock #2 down with the games after this one.

You know what I love? You can tell when a team is on a streak.

Did you even read my post? More times than not you don't suddenly shoot well in the playoffs, you carry that over. You can't just turn it on.
Marcus Camby carried over an insane hot streak into the 1999 playoffs, dominated and got a shitty video game out of it.

That game had really good graphics for the time. (Idk about that one in particular but the series did)

Marcus Camby was actually on the cover of something...is that the most "marginal" cover player of a sports game all-time?

No one reads your posts.
I don't think I made the argument you're attacking in your first and second sentences. New York Vahagn.

the game sucked.
You want to be playing well/shooting well going into the playoffs, so no Carmelo isn't wasting his shooting in the regular season. Easier to carry it over into the playoffs and if you have a streak of bad shooting. Enjoy your pony avatar.
No no no.
Ouch, Moris getting testy because of that avatar bet he's about to lose.
Naw we gon innovate son.
lol damn

I wonder if Melo will get a FT in the second half lol.

Insults or save face in that he was wrong? He chose predictably.
Giving him a pony avi is too good for him. We should ask Branduil to dig up something from the anime thread.
Something truly terrifying...

You want to play well in the playoffs and that's that. Playing well before them means nothing, if anything it makes Melo more likely to have some stinkers to return to his average like he did earlier this year.
Go paint your face.

Even if it's a placebo, would you want to be playing well going into the playoffs or playing like shit (non-tanking and with your starters playing legit minutes)?
Because most NBA teams/coaches stress they want to be playing well.
I'm waiting for your opinion though.
The Knicks aren't a streaky team now?

Knicks looking to weather the OKC counterpunch for as long as possible, if possible.
Why is this relevant to his question, though?

2 consecutive turnovers. Not good Prigs.
This is relevant how now? Did I not outline most teams/coaches?

NYVahagn stahp.
You'd want to do what Miami is doing. Resting your stars and avoid injuries.
It's what Pop wishes he could do right now if his stars were all healthy and he wasn't still fighting for seeding.
In New York's case, Melo has shown when he has hot streaks he follows them up with cold streaks, I'd rather Melo play well and at about his averages than for him to set himself up for a cold streak just before or during the first round.
