Game Thread: Knicks vs. Bucks- 11/2/08
Milwaukee Bucks at New York Knicks, Nov 2, 2008 6:00 PM EST

What up people? If you're wondering why your eyes were just assaulted by a mess of psychedelic colors and ill-fated NBA players, it's because the Knicks are taking on the Milwaukee Bucks tonight in New York. Tommy Dee has the report that Zach Randolph may sit this one out with a sore knee, as well as the news that Stephon Marbury will be deactivated (and possibly waived at some point...more on that during the week). Though they're not as gigantic as the Sixers, the Bucks do have Andrew Bogut, who could very well have a career night against the Knicks' shrimpy frontcourt. Meanwhile, Ramon Sessions is an up-and-comer in the backcourt and Redd and Jefferson have always been Knick-killers. Milwaukee, though, isn't the deepest of teams, so look for the Knicks' potent second unit to change the pace on them and do some damage.
Check out the magnificent Brew Hoop for the Bucks' thread. Tipoff's at 6. Get them W's.

jeez
one of the things i took for granted when nbatv and league pass came around was the possibility of my favorite mediocre 90s players making their way into television.

over the summer. he was by himself and he looked like he was depressed.

that's pretty depressing too.
judging from what we’ve said in the game thread so far i think the theme of this game is “things which are moderately depressing”

what are everybody's feelings on Marbury
option A) Marbury backs-up Duhon and plays 15-20 minutes per game.
option B) Marbury is inactive and Mardy Collins gets all of his minutes.
i understand that D’Antoni wants to make a statement, and i’m cool with that. but it seems like Steph at least accepted his new role in the offseason and if the Knicks are going to pay him, i’d rather have him on the floor. even with all the bullshit, i’m not really sure if Marbury deserves this…

by the way
i am watching this game on a free streaming video site since nba league pass broadband doesn’t carry it and there’s a little chatbox in the side for people watching the game to discuss and i felt i would share with you a sample:
“5:33egreezy:marbury gets all the blame, crawford is worse and should not be knicks sg of the future
5:33zooshizoba:Milwaukee win win win
5:33qbson_nh:NBA IS GOOD FOR GA Y BOYS
5:33gregers842:nudny to spotkanie
5:34rejoli1819:GO KNICKS
5:34fouinyboy:qbson_nh haters
5:34darylthomas:* boys are hot
5:34xxx758:milwaukeee willl losee”

nice.
9 out of 10 gay boys prefer the nba to the nhl. by the way, does this mean that that person bought nba league pass broadband, logged in and turned on this game just to tel everyone how he feels about the nba?
Posting and Toasting: Yes sir!

well
apparantly, games that are on nbatv are not put on nba league pass broadband, which i split with a few friends, so i am watching it at this site (http://www.justin.tv/lasn1)
anyway, suffice it to say, the people there are much more interesting than all of you

this may b the worst knicks team ive seen in years
is it me or is every single player taking on a role wayyy over their head.
I love Lee he’s not starter
crawford is supposed 2 b the star of this team (0-6 thank you very much)
chris duhon played backup his whole career but lets give him the keys to the team
Q rich has been our best perimeter scorer (im not even gonna attempt a joke here)
all these players r playing out of position which only fucks things up on d and its not as if its balancing itself out on the offensive side of the ball.
we need some height, im tired of our small forwards being the number 2 options as far as big guys go. we do not even play a center considering we only have 2 on the team both of which did not wear jerseys tonight.
and this marbury thing is fuckin rediculous. i dont give a shit what kind of point ur trying 2 make but when we finish with 50 losses this season it wont mean anything. steph is our best player. PLAY HIM. wtf y does every1 want to move in a different direction i think its pretty clear that direction involves less talent on the court. i hate this duhon trade more every day they say he can defend yet all 3 pgs he faced lit him up. he does not move the ball or pass better than any other average point guard. and as expected cant score for shit. but no your right sit your best player.
brook lopez seems like a pretty nice draft pick right about now doesnt he. 7 foot center who can block shots and board with a solid offensive game. i think i take that over a 7 foot shooter who’s only time in the paint is when he crosses the line shooting free throws.
i think this sentence sums everything up nicely: Anthony Roberson Malik Rose and Mardy Collins are getting significant mins.

Lee?
Lee seems to have played well enough to be a starter. Why do you think otherwise?
Also, I’m okay with Duhon so far, though not sold. He seems like he may turn into a decent distributor.
I also LOVE what D’Antoni’s doing as far as his justification in not playing Marbury. Our goal is not to win XX games this year. That doesn’t matter. Our goal is to win a championship. Whatever helps us towards this goal, go for it. Whatever doesn’t, doesn’t. Marbury will stunt the growth of others in the NY backcourt and giving him minutes will be minutes taken away from those D’Antoni can be testing, seeing how they fit. I’d rather see Mardy/Nate/Danilo take those minutes and be able to develop them within the system.

team vs. system?
Brook Lopez still looks like a scrub to me.
by BreadCity on Nov 2, 2008 10:07 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
idk
i love lee i just feel that he is better suited as an energy guy off the bench especially when the big your pairing with him is another 6’9 pf who cant play d. And i’m not exactly a brook lopez fan i just see him coming in and helping out the team more then a scoring forward would. considering what our main problems seem 2 have been ( interior D and rebounding) lopez would help that a bit more than a jump shooter would. we have enough of them.
i 100% agree we need 2 plan for the future but at the same time, i mean shit we havent been good in 5 years i dont think its too much 2 ask to put a winning product on the floor. im not even talking championship at this point id settle for competing for an 8th seed.
in the past ive always gone into the season very optimistic and rightfully so considering the talent we tend to have. this year i did not have this feeling at all and in only a short period of time it seems to b coming true. Last year i felt like i got cheated of watching my fave team bcuz we were done b4 we started. i dont need this shit again. its 3 games in and i already see us going down a slippery slope.
