Game Thread: Knicks vs. Hornets- 11/2/09

New Orleans Hornets at New York Knicks, Nov 2, 2009 7:30 PM EST


P44533_medium
Fresh off a pair of ill-fated comebacks, the Knicks are back in action tonight against Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets. The Knicks will look to start the game with a little more vigor. Their primary downfall to date has been poor offensive execution and lackadaisical defense in the opening quarters of games. A number of bros have spoken up about attacking first and avoiding the early deficit, but it's a matter of doing, not saying. Nawlins is a potent squad at both ends of the floor, so tonight will be a test of the Knicks 'commitment to their words.

Paul, in particular, is a tough cover, and the absence of Nate Robinson means that Larry Hughes and/or Toney Douglas will have to spell Chris Duhon in defending the All-Star. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mike D'Antoni to pull one of his tricks and stick Jeffries on the point guard as well.

Come join in with comments of all shapes and sizes if you're watching the game. I have a thing that goes until a little after 8, so I'll probably show up in the mid-second quarter. Keep things lively and tasteless in my absence. Get them W's, Knicks.

Check out At The Hive for all things vespine.

Update, via Berman: No early boos for Jeffries. He's out of lineup; Hughes in.

Wow.

Nice Gallo

Hughes and Gallo starting word up. Gives us a little more size in the backcourt and I think Willie C will play mo betta with this squad

lineup changes

paying off already. hughes looks like he’s 22 again, and gallo making plays off the dribble.
i kinda hope nate never returns. dudes got vibes…bad vibes.

Gallo is looking good

Attacking the basket an finding the open man. at least 3 nice assists.

Also, Larry Hughes is good. And playing some good defense.

by Frederic Weis on Nov 2, 2009 8:22 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Surprisingly good

Toney still got them jitters tho

Guys

Frye did that his rookie year with the Knicks too. Let’s see more than 3 or 4 games.

way to go larry

get over the screen and you’ll get that call.

by Seth on Nov 2, 2009 8:26 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

yeah

i think thats the closest comparison to him. maybe a little ginobli in the passing too

by Ray Smuckles on Nov 2, 2009 8:31 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

he has potential to be a better playmaker

keyword potential, dirk is a good passer but he doesn’t shift his game up as much as gallo already has shown the ability to

every year there's one league pass broadband ad that haunts my nightmares

this year it’s an ad for some fitness system called the dosho which features a dude wearing a skin-tight thing about half the size of my boxers benching shit.
they have the same ads all year long.

i find darko to be such an interesting player…you would think that as a “draft bust” he would show incredible flashes of talent but be missing all the attention to detail that makes an excellent pro. yet, he does all of the little things well (great passer, smart defensive player, sets good screens, never plays outside of himself) – which is usually the mark of a draft sleeper that earns his keep in the league.

by tz88 on Nov 2, 2009 9:31 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

i like darko

hes the typa player tht needs the right situation to thrive

Why doesn't Duhon pass to Gallo?

All he had to do was give the ball to Gallo for an easy layup. Has anyone else noticed that Duhon never seems to notice the Cock

I dunno...

I think Hughes is using performance enhancers…there’s no other way to explain it…..not that I’d mind, for this outcome I’d piss in the cup for him
