Game Thread: Knicks vs. Heat- 10-29-08

Migdal2_tiny by Seth on in Game Threads

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!

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   0 recs

wow.

we definitely are going to lead the league in missed defensive assignments this year. i counted 13 on the heat’s last possession.

don't worry

i have faith in jerome james’ title defense in that category

Sweet shooting, limited defense. Just what I like to see.

"the omnipotence of marcus banks"

if there’s one thing i love about clyde frazier, it’s that he never hyperbolizes things.

Exact opposite of energy off the bench. Lethargy off the bench.

Marbury

I like that Roberson is ahead of him. While in a suit.

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.

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   0 recs

yeah.

mark blount is like the basketball equivalent of leprosy.

Look it up. They’re never in the same place at the same time.

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.

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

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

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.
