Game Thread: Knicks at Bobcats- 10/30/09
New York Knicks at Charlotte Bobcats, Oct 30, 2009 7:00 PM EDT
It's that time of year, friends. Every once in a while, the Charlotte Bobcats and their evil, bat-breathing demon-coach are matched up with our Knicks. Mike D'Antoni will trot out the same lineup we saw against Miami, though it remains to be seen how long this starting five lasts.
Tipoff's at 7. Come on by if you're watching and leave comments aplenty. Stop by Rufus On Fire to talk Bobcatz.

first win coming
I have to say I am pretty pumped for this. I live in London so if anyone knows a good free stream would they be able to send the link?
P.S. DWTDD
free darko
I really think we should start Darko and bench JJ as well. Although TC isn’t exactly a dominant centre, I still think it’s for the best.
has lee been working on his handles?
he looks markedly less goofy
Why is our best shooter and best defender on the bench?
And are we seriously letting the worst offense in the league jack 3’s while we brick it every time we get the ball?
i just feel sad
all the time

i was that same
combo for a while after going to school in buffalo. Had to drop the bills… literally because I could not take 3 really bad teams.
yeesh
I dont get to watch more than 5-10 games a season because of where I live. I dont know how you guys cope with 82.
Are we really letting the Bobcats do this for us?
There’s nothing good about this team right now.
So the way it looks right now, the Bobcats were horribly outclasses by Boston and right now we are getting outclassed by them. I don’t want to see what will happen when we start playing upper class teams.
i'm selling my balls

I'm hanging on but not by much
Yankee vs Philly World Series have already almost sent me off the edge, if the Superbowl has the Eagles vs Pats/Jets then that might finish me off.
Al Harrington is showing great leadership
By chucking like there’s no tomorrow.
That's it Nate..
your learning.
SCREAM! and they call it every time..
DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
vlad radmanovic just took us off the dribble
if anybody’s in the market for pairs of eyes, me and seth are selling
what i don't get
the dudes chucking up brick after brick on wide open shots are the same dudes who hit lots of em last year, and who i genuinely consider to be average or above shooters.
and they’re not just rimming out. they’re clanking. it’s ugly.
Well something has to give…if we are just going to test things out we might as well only play those who will be here next year. Gallo had a poor first quarter but he’s a basically arookie playing with a trainwreck of a team, we can’t pull him every time he makes a mistake especially when the alternatives are no better
you're right
i’d rather struggle with Gallo, Toney, Hill, etc. on the floor than struggle with Jeffires, Al, and Duhon on the floor – guys that have no future with this team.

watching the D’Antonio offense is a lot more fun when the players trying to run it can actually shoot the basketball.

I could live without ever hearing the name "Jennings" again
We might have made a mistake, but what happened happened. He was horrible in the Italian league, when Gallo was younger than him he played better than Jennings. We weren’t the only team to pass on him, like Blair he has something to prove, let’s move on with our lives.
on the bright side
we’ll probably get to watch jamal crawford hucking up ill-advised 3s in the playoffs
did he ever throw up a floater
that went in?

I hate this team more and more every day
I’m not looking for a title contender. I just can’t remember the last time someone on the Knicks played with any intelligence.
I've always hated this team
And it’s not like a Mets hate, where I really love the team but can’t stand Minaya/Manuel. It’s the kind where I’m thisclose to rooting against the team, pulling for a loss every single night.

Can we just let Gallo take a 3 every play?
He won’t get it every time but if we are just going to mindlessly shoot anyway let’s at least let Gallo practice his shot. We probably would keep it closer this way.
Chandler should lay off the sauce on 3's
He’s actually a good player with a much wider skill set. Willie C doesn’t need that shot and is the only guy showing willingness to take someone off the dribble. Even if Willie shot 50% from 3 we’d have enough other crap shooting to cancel it out and lose anyhow

gallo refuses to dribble
nate should take over. duhon should be benched. free darko.

No one seems to have the guts
to take over. Or the ability. Truly rudderless play on offense. You know, this team would be a lot better with Jason Kidd. They need a leader out there.
no guts is right
fuck kidd tho. for real.

chandler: 4-14
stop shooting jumpers, you shithead
In his defense
The ref’s have it out for him. I’m not saying it’s the only thing wrong, but every time he does everything but throw a 3 he either is called for a foul or a foul on him is ignored.
So is Gallo a second half player?
This is the second game in a row that he tries to singlehandedly save the team after looking lost in the first half of the game.
that is not the highlight of the game
gotta give it to gallo’s finger roll
so confused

I think This Game Ruined My Night
I was supposed to write a paper, but I had to start drinking by half time, and I already cancelled my plans to be responsible. Thanks Knicks for ruining everything!
i'm going to be optimistic
and say it’s a precaution; even if his back doesn’t have damage it’s very possible that after everything he needs to work on his back muscles
I REALLY wanted Augustin last year
I’m not sayin, I’m just sayin’

Imagine if we had
Anthony Randolph. That guy’s a monster.

Gallo is back!
I told you it was a precaution!
We suck, but so do the refs
Seriously, they hate Gallo!
No exucse, Gallo
MAKE IT A THREE

No timeouts
Gallo from halfcourt?

That was clean
come on refs, this is a contact sport

And of course the game is decided on a horrible call
At least it’s over.
This game just destroyed our season.

Lost by 2
Harrington fouled Augustin with 2 seconds left. Augustin hit them both. Gallo missed a halfcourt heave.

Nice comeback, Terrible ending
but just glad we didn’t lose by 20 plus, like it was looking like early on.
the worst part about this season
there isn’t a silver-lining. even if they tank, they don’t have a first rounder anyway.

Meanwhile
Brandon Jennings was one rebound and one assist away from a triple double… but he also had 5 turnovers and the Bucks lost.
I really wanted Jennings.
He’s gonna be a star.
by johnmac7512 on Oct 30, 2009 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions
17 points...on 16 shots
He’d fit right in here with Al (7 on 20), Lee (15) and Nate (16)
Meanwhile Gallo gets 16 on 11
can't make any definitive statements
after two games. Hill seemed to be the safe pick. i guess we’ll see.

Yeah but they could have had
Jennings and Blair (who might even be better than Hill).
by johnmac7512 on Oct 30, 2009 10:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Come on, it's too early to say
Blair is looking good but was a health risk, notice how every team passed on him in the first round? Jennings is as much a project as Hill, he was horrible in Italy and could turn out to be Marbury 2.0 even if he puts up stats
Ty Lawson is tearing it up. He would have helped the Knicks win 5 more games this year.
Has anyone else realized that Wilson Chandler is not very good? He wasn’t good last year or the year before. He just isn’t very skilled and probably never will be. Plus, he has bad shot selection.
Isiah
would have drafted Lawson.
It’s the smart move but it was against the conventional wisdom. Isiah didn’t care if he looked foolish if he thought he was right.

I agree with that.
Lawson is really good too. I think both Jennings and Lawson will end up better than Flynn and Curry.

co-sign
on both points. chandler is really overrated, unfortunately. he’s an above-average defender, pretty terrible offensively. but he dunks on people…which is like…cool and stuff.
lawson>>>hill, he’s the perfect PG for this system. strong, fast, good passer, and a winning mentality.
Hmmmm . . .
My DVR stopped recording the game just as Felton tied it at the end of the first OT, so help me out here.
Which is worse, our offense or our defense?

Harrington, Duhon, and Chandler left their shot at home (I hope). For a team that can’t shoot, they settled for a ton of difficult shots. I suppose they left their dribbling hands at home too. They foul too much and can’t get to the line. They are overall bad. David Lee is probably pissed the Knicks screwed him into staying here.
please remind me how the knicks screwed him into staying here?
he had every chance to get an offer sheet signed. its his agent bartelstien’s fault he isnt in portland right now
