And so it begins. The Knicks are at home tonight to tip off '08/'09 against the Miami Heat. Michael Beasley will be making his NBA debut for the Heat, while we all wonder whether Danilo Gallinari will make his for the Knicks. The biggest question, though, is whether Mike D'Antoni has anybody to stop Dwyane Wade version 2.0 (Guess: No.)
Either way, it's bound to be a season fraught with glee, heartache, surprise, and more of the same. The ride begins tonight. This game thread is for your game-related comments, whether you're watching along or not. The more comments the merrier. Get them W's!
For the opposing viewpoint, check out the brand new Peninsula is Mightier.

in class..
..and some how i don’t feel i’m missing anything.
no excuse
i watched most of the opening night games on mute during my journalism class last night. nobody seemed to notice.
Wow...
Leaguepass Broadband is already worth it, hearing Q-Tip leading what sounds like six guys in the stands in “New York”.

And what the hell
is Marbury doing? Clearing out his earwax?
by twincitiesknick on Oct 29, 2008 7:44 PM EDT reply actions
wow.
we definitely are going to lead the league in missed defensive assignments this year. i counted 13 on the heat’s last possession.
guys
keep missing david lee under the basket. this was a problem in the preseason too.
Posting and Toasting: Yes sir!
by the way
if i was shaun livingston i totally would’ve reconsidered my comeback after having malik rose steal the ball from me. also, i’d regrow my braids.
"the omnipotence of marcus banks"
if there’s one thing i love about clyde frazier, it’s that he never hyperbolizes things.
Boding badly for the NYK defense

marcus banks
“looks a little like stephon, but not as elusive”- clyde
“looks a little like todd from zoolander, but not as gay”- seth
Posting and Toasting: Yes sir!
hey!
have you forgotten that marcus banks is omnipotent so quickly? he’ll, like, turn you into an insect or some shit like that for speaking ill of him.
WILSON
gus johnson’s first primal scream of the regular season. nate with the steal!

Nate and Wil
That’s what energy off the bench means.

Malik Rose
Exact opposite of energy off the bench. Lethargy off the bench.
Posting and Toasting: Yes sir!
Marbury
I like that Roberson is ahead of him. While in a suit.

i get one dollar for each.
but really, clyde should get a dollar for every time i post.

Q Rich
That last sequence where Q worked to get a tip-in (even though he missed), drew a charge, then knocked down the open three must be why he’s starting. Too bad he won’t do that every game.

when Q is healthy
he can be a really important player.

How can
a team with Shawn Marion, Dwyane Wade, Mario Chalmers, and Michael Beasley be expected to be as bad as the Heat are expected to be? (Not to mention Marcus “Ominpotent” Banks.)
Is Mark Blount that debilitating?
by twincitiesknick on Oct 29, 2008 8:50 PM EDT reply actions
Marcus Banks = Tracey Morgan
Look it up. They’re never in the same place at the same time.
Mmmmm ... Guinness
yo yo yo
I’m in for the rest of the game. Couple of points:
1. Clyde said posting and toasting.
2. I still get nightmares whenever Zbo pulls up for a jumper.
3. I don’t like Mardy Collins.
You all did love him once. - The New York Knicks.
4. what does Malik Rose get paid for?
Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

I'm guessing
If Jefferies had two legs that worked he’d be sapping some of the time Malik has seen tonight.

yeah!
if the comments roll in fast enough, it updates like a damn chat room. so nice.

Clyde
OMG Clyde’s outfit is exceptionally ridiculous tonight.

i've been waiting for this moment
since they said phil collins would be interviewed in jill martin’s “give me a minute” about halfway through the second quarter.
very early front-runner
for the “Barnesy” award for comment of the year. Yes, you’re the namesake of the award too.
Posting and Toasting: Yes sir!
that's gonna be the theme this year.
mediocre 90’s players all season longggggg
Posting and Toasting: Yes sir!
you know how I know you're healthy Q?
You can dunk.

I would pay
around $100 for Stephon Marbury to wear Harry Potter glasses to the next game. Any other contributors to this worthy cause?

maybe he can get the lightning bolt
tatooed on his head.
shit, i’m so pissed that i know about that…

take pride in it my brother.
We’re knicks fans, we can judge each other.
You all did love him once. - The New York Knicks.
can't judge that is
damn we need edit buttons in this house

whenever shawn marion shoots i laugh, that adds to the enjoyability.

it's ok
i don’t pride myself on my fantasy teams. i draft for cool points.
Posting and Toasting: Yes sir!
sorry again
but we only get 9 cats… my tenth point was the cool point. making it 10-0
You all did love him once. - The New York Knicks.
Shawn Marion
I can’t believe they can’t find a way to get him the ball. Six points on 7 shots while being defended by Z-Bo.

marion
could really use a d’antoni offense to get him points. not that i want him in new york.

did they take away the triangle
in the Knicks logo in the middle of the floor?

the team as a whole..
Is doing ok, only 10 TO and the FG% isn’t terrible. Are we just better than them?.. oh my.

i love how Gus keeps talking about
how “free and open” this new Knicks’ regime is while broadcasting on James Dolan’s Al-Jazeera network.

yeah..
i can’t say i get it. maybe he’ll grab some meaningful fourth quarter minutes?
Posting and Toasting: Yes sir!
Personally,
I’d rather see Gallo get the garbage minutes this game.

by Seven Seconds or Mess on Oct 29, 2008 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions
i think he should rest his back.
i would say anthony roberson, but he’s in street clothes. eddy curry shouldn’t get to dress until he’s in shape, which he isn’t.
Anybody Else Think
To not allow Steph at least the opportunity to be a good soldier off the bench is the wrong way to go? I mean come on, he’s at least better than Mardy Collins.
Collins
Is Mardy supposed to be D’Antoni’s new Raja Bell? Cause it’s not even close.

do you know that after tonight
it’ll be only the 3rd time since January 4, 2005 that the Knicks have been over .500?
they were 16-13 on December 29, 2004 before going 2-13 in January of ’05.
they were 2-1 after their win over Denver last season.
they were 1-0 after a triple OT opening night win over Memphis in 2006.

i was just thinking about that
didn’t have the stats like you, but i was thinking about how pumped i was after our win against denver last year. i was telling everyone i know how we were going to the playoffs and its generally depressing to look back on.
remember how pumped the Garden was?
i think we were all excited after that win.

I hate that MSG kept messing up with those random replays. I wanted to see how sloppy that possession was.

This 4th Quarter
Is why I have no faith in Jamal Crawford. No points this quarter after scoring 23 through three.
Of course he hit a three while I typed this.

such a gunner.
he’s the ultimate “i love him” / “i fucking hate him” player.

Chalmers
17 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 TO. We really couldn’t get a second round pick?

1-0 and a lot of promise.
that 4th quarter execution needs a look though.
Posting and Toasting: Yes sir!
Definitely
It felt like once the Heat started making their run, as will happen, the Knicks tightened up, didn’t keep the passing open, got more tentative. Could’ve been that they didn’t trust the earlier offense enough and resorted to old, “safer” habits as the run continued, thinking on some level that a 7-seconds-or-less offense means more points for Miami if NYK shooting ran cold.
I could’ve just spewed a chunky stream of crap with that paragraph, but if there’s truth in it, I think that will get better as they get more comfortable in the system.
by twincitiesknick on Oct 29, 2008 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions
well
i don’t know that jamal crawford’s heaving in the late fourth qualifies as “safe”, but i would agree that the ball movement dropped off considerably.
Posting and Toasting: Yes sir!
Sorry i missed the posting party
schoolwork is a bitch. Didnt get to see the game, just the box, will read the comments later. All i see is knicks hauling ass through 4 on O, and got violated in the 4th by mario chalmers and udonis haslem….whatever. Go KNICKS

ill say it cuz no1 else will
we’re gonna have to tie q-tip up and make him perform b4 every game.
this includes away games
Never turn off the game
Never. Ever. Whether the Knicks are up or the Knicks are down.
A word of warning: Any fans that are pregnant, have a heart condition or are under 48 inches should not get on the ride.
The Knicks will make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference this year. I said it here first.
