Game Thread: Knicks at Sixers- 1/24/09

Hello, all. Following their win against the Grizzlies last night, the Knicks make a quick visit to Philadelphia to face the Sixers. Philly's handled the Knicks pretty easily this season, but maybe the Knick's current head of steam can encourage them to keep the win streak alive. The bad news is that Danilo Gallinari won't play tonight, as the Knicks training staff have opted to rest him in the business end of back-to-backs. That may be the kiss of death against a team that's held the Knicks under 100 points in both their meetings, but it remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Elton Brand hopes to make his return to action for Philly tonight, and word is that he'll get some burn off the bench. Who knows how that'll go. Tipoff's at 7, because impatient Philadelphians just can't wait until 7:30 when I've fully digested my dinner. Stick around for comments, and make sure to stop by Liberty Ballers for a Sixerific take on tonight's game.

maybe
the second unit can pick things up like last night?

Is anyone else not happy with how the SSOL scheme has been working?
I’d like to see more high percentage shots and less strings of just chucking up threes.
meh
we don’t have the type of line up the suns of recent years have had. imagine the guy in jeffries position could bang 3’s. or imagine Q could shoot like he did when he played in phoenix. the suns of yore had great games and drought games. so do we. so far so good to me.
yeah
i’d mostly love to see the D pick up, but i wouldn’t mind a little more pushing the ball for easy buckets on offense.
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
ssol
yeah, i expected to see more fast breaking than just heaving threes. at least it’s working tonight.

I also don't really understand the choice of Duhon as the premier guard
I mean I like him and he’s playing a lot better than in the beginning of the season, but I think Nate works better into our scheme and it just all around better. I don’t think he shoots as well as Duhon, but he def has a sense of urgency when he’s bringing the ball up the court
but
i don’t think nate’s nearly a good enough floor leader to dominate the ball like that.

By the way
I’m new here. Sorry for just posting without introductions. What’s the scene like here? Is there a lot of interaction during games?
welcome
We do what we can as far as in-game discussion. Saturday nights are often pretty quiet. We keep the meaningful analysis light here, and concentrate mostly on dick jokes. The more the merrier.
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
nahh
it’s mostly playing off the gallinari→gallo→rooster→cock phenomenon. we’re adults here.
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
so what's your story?
big knicks fan? think you’ll be back for more games?
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
also
a/s/l? what’s your sign?
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
Yeah
I grew up in New York and always liked the Knicks but was a little too young to really . I’m a HUUUGE Florida State fan, so I really got into it when Charlie Ward showed up.
from jersey
loved the knicks since i was about 4. in college now and still going strong.

I wish we could get good again.
I’ve been in Ohio for about 7 years now so haven’t been able to watch a lot since the downturn after the 2000 season. This is the first year I’ve had enough money to splurge on the NBA package.

lifelong knick aficianado. i come from the class of mason. and i play like it too.

Also from Jersey
Knicks fan since I was 9 or so. That goes back to the Ewing/Oakley/Strickland/Trent Tucker/Gerald Wilkins teams.
In Chicago now. People sometimes ask – “are you a Bulls fan now?” I ask them “how is that even possible?” And then, “go f yourself, Bulls.”

look for me at the united center when the knicks stop by.
i’ll be the dude in the shirt with a picture of john starks dunking on michael jordan.

Definitely going to that game.
I’ll probably wear my new “Oakley Car Wash” t-shirt (thanks for that link Seth!)

just turned in.
turning out in about 10 minutes. looks like some serious d’antoni ball going on, especially on those last few possessions, and good to see nate is back.
dunno, what?

niiiiice.

Does Walt bring a thesaurus with him to work?
So far I’ve heard lethargic, conventional, egregious, and overzealous
there's actually a story
that he tells when asked, that back when he did radio someone told him he needed to vary his speech to sound interesting, so he just pounded the thesaurus and memorized them big words cold.
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
i can actually say
having met him in person that he’s an avid giggler

Nice to see Nate back
Very, very nice.

Now let's get Chandler back, too
His game seems a little tentative this last week or two.

i dunno
what we should expect from his offensive production. i wonder if he was sorta being over-fed while thomas and gallinari were out.

quick migraine right there.

word!
in saying that, you’ve cemented a welcome spot at P&T.

I'd be shocked....
if any Knick fan wanted him gone.
You’d have to think that player like Lebron, Wade etc would like having Lee on their team as well.
Only for a monster deal...
Like, if the Warriors said, “Lee for Ellis” I could live with that. Not that the Warriors would, but if they did…

i'd say no
yeah, i’m CRAZY!

also lee would never ride a fucking moped.
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
True.
But Duhon and Monte in a D’Antoni backcourt would be sick.
And no one would ride a moped in NYC, unless they wanted to be smacked by a pedestrian.

come to think of it
doesn’t ellis dip his hands in wax so they are extra soft?? let’s get this – shall we say – straight. ellis, wants super-soft hands and rides mopeds. hmmmmmm
nah
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
Absolutely not
Camby is a curse. They traded Oakley for him. Unforgivable!

nice half... all in all
is it true – that if we win tonight and the nets lose – we will have a better record than the nets??
equal
19-25. but we beat them, so yeah.
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
actually we'll be 19-24
i stupid.

i was thinking about it
before the game. that callimari reminds me of andre miller, except he’s 6’10" and has a dirty dirty jumper.
and isn't completely boring.
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
yea miller makes the whole world want to sleep
but imagine if miller was 10 inches taller and had a mean outside stroke.

Why isn't it a priority to show the dance team at halftime?
Do I have to insert two dollar bills into my tv to get a peek?
They need to get League Pass in HD
They keep saying “MSG HD” and I’m not watching in HD.

i threw up a kidney
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
i'm not even watching anymore.
but just reading about jared jeffries shooting a three caused my gallbladder to implode.
i couldn't pick a gallbladder out of a lineup.
what does that even do?

Wilson Chandler has a bruised hip?

NO one is trying to rebound
We have 5 guys standing behind the 3 point line. For cryin out loud put Lee back in
john madden would've loved that roll.

Watching the feed..
and I’m pretty jealous that you guys get to listen to Walt announce every one of your games.
You're missing quite a bit on the visual side
He’s essentially missing a fur hat to complete the pimp costume he’s got on tonight
he's amazing.
i have league pass broadband and am hearing the sixers folks. and its no contest. not to mention that whenever the knicks backup announcer, kelly tripucka, subs for clyde, the knicks lose. it’s not even a joke. they’re like 2-23 when he announces.
This is a winnable game
If they actually execute down the stretch.
Not like what they’ve been doing the last two minutes.

I know it's gonna take a while for him to get his legs back and blah blah blah,
but Elton Brand has looked really, really lost in ‘new’ sixers offense.. The pace comes to a screeching halt when he’s on the floor..
Even though he has been decently efficient numbers-wise tonight, hes a -10.
That was the problem before he got hurt
They need to figure it out. Soon.
