Good call on Tyreke Evans
All signs point to him ripping us up tonight

…curry cant play 4 straight games. hopefully dantoni will let hill play real minutes tonight.

sigh
How much ya wanna bet Duhon plays 30+ minutes again, Toney plays 10, Hill plays less than 10, and the Knicks lose a close one after Harrington’s 20th and last shot of the night rolls out while Gallo sits on the bench?
I need to see something. Toney 20+ minutes, Gallo 20+ shots, Gimme something here.

yeah
really apprehensive. he had two nice drives, both of which he ruined with unnecessary passes.
by Seth on Nov 25, 2009 10:20 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
how come he seems less confident than he was at the beginning of the season? thats a bizarre reaction to playing well.
by ibnyc on Nov 25, 2009 10:22 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
playing stupid is contagious, when you are expected to learn from Chris Duhon and Al Harrington it’s easy to get confused.

Is D'antoni ever going to change the starting line up?
by Nolan B on Nov 25, 2009 10:18 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
we gotta stop playing wil at the 4. its ridiculous.

knicks play a zone and draw a 5-second count
weird.

the way clyde and breen are talking about duhon
you’d think they read the comments and posts you guys write.

maybe they’ll start referring to gallo as cock.

what the Knicks do is like the opposite of player development
by Nolan B on Nov 25, 2009 10:27 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
lets be honest, dantoni is not a great coach for young guys. he doesnt seem to trust them very much at all. hes also too singularly focused on winning individual games without much big picture focus. e.g. those crazy short rotations he played with the suns which would always leave nash burnt out by the end of the season.
by ibnyc on Nov 25, 2009 10:29 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I feel the same way, what I don’t get though is trusting the “veterans” isn’t helping us in the short term either and these short rotations are killing the rookie’s confidence. Even Gallo who gets decent burn isn’t trusted as anything more than a spot up shooter even though we have seen him do more.

Does Al ever hit both free throws?
For a guy who loves to shoot as often as possible he always seems to miss one.
by Nolan B on Nov 25, 2009 10:32 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Lineup I'd like to see right now:
Nate-Chandler-Gallo-Lee-Hill
by ibnyc on Nov 25, 2009 10:45 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Maybe it's time this blog changes its name to "Chucking and ducking"
Because I don’t see no posting in the actual game, at least on the Knick’s end.
by Nolan B on Nov 25, 2009 10:45 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Al is worse than Wilson last night
1 for 10 so far..

Donnie Walsh
Has done nothing good since he traded away Crawford and Z-Bo.
by ibnyc on Nov 25, 2009 10:51 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
whats the difference he was gonna expire this year anyway.
by ibnyc on Nov 25, 2009 10:52 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
him and Curry on the same bench takes up too much room
Plus Tim Thomas was useful but we needed a shooting guard and Hughes is hardly the problem this year
by Nolan B on Nov 25, 2009 10:54 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Just know
That Gus Johnson’s fired up right now- The Knicks need to feed off of Gus
by gwl on Nov 25, 2009 10:55 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
both guards who would at least try to guard him are on the bench

Gallo
is really playing pitiful period today. He looks like he doesn’t want to be there.
by Nolan B on Nov 25, 2009 10:56 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
running
everyone makes this argument that we’ve slowed it down this year because we dont have the personnel to run the SSOL offense. but what is the difference between our team makeup this year vs. last year when we were running more? i dont understand this argument at all.
by ibnyc on Nov 25, 2009 11:02 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
to me
this year and last year are very similar, except some of these jumpers went in last year
by Seth on Nov 25, 2009 11:03 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
They seemed marginally less stupid last year, but that might have just been luck
by Nolan B on Nov 25, 2009 11:05 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe youre right seth. i do feel like we pushed the pace more often last year. maybe i made that up in my head though.
by ibnyc on Nov 25, 2009 11:07 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
its possible
especially since duhon spent part of the year playing well. i just don’t think the difference between this year and last is that dramatic in terms of pace.

looks bad.
cant watch. going back to houston doin tge hot dog dance. goin back to houston. gotta get me some pants.

"if you don't use it, you lose it"
as soon as westphal called that timeout, i knew it was coming. said it before clyde did.

What's amazing is we are only 10 points back
by Nolan B on Nov 25, 2009 11:09 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
yeah
given the comeback that’s about to happen, we’re practically winning
by Seth on Nov 25, 2009 11:10 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
did i jinx them?
probably. doesn’t really make a difference.

Chris Duhon is so bad its actually turned fascinating
Was at the Laker game last night, first time at Staples this year, the contrast between teams is unimaginably stark
by sean8686 on Nov 25, 2009 11:10 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
The biggest disappointment so far has been Gallo
He looks like he quit on the team already. I wouldn’t blame him but damn, we are holding the poor guy back.
by Nolan B on Nov 25, 2009 11:12 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
It seems like no one on the team actually likes each other. This would probably be particularly tough for a 20 year old kid from abroad. I’m just making shit up at this point.
by ibnyc on Nov 25, 2009 11:14 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
i saw two problems in the first half
1. too deferential on offense. he needs to look for his own shot off the dribble (not just threes). we’ve all been saying that all year.
2. too willing to help on defense. he’s like the opposite of david lee. gallo’s been helping off his man far too much, which is why nocioni kept getting open for threes. he might as well stick outside and let the other knicks get embarrassed.
by Seth on Nov 25, 2009 11:14 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I def agree with both of those points. I’ve also realized that he seems to get his hands up very late. He doesn’t challenge shots until they’ve almost been released.
by ibnyc on Nov 25, 2009 11:17 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
i wish d'antoni
would get that mad at david lee
by Seth on Nov 25, 2009 11:26 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He got pissed at Lee a lot last year, I think he just gave up and accepted that he won’t play any D
by Nolan B on Nov 25, 2009 11:27 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
AL
did he not learn as a kid that you dont dribble with your head down? how does he consistently do this?

hughes
is very blatantly not trying. not even close.

Greene didnt even put on a move, he just turned around and dribbled straight towards the basket.

on the bright side..
our four most promising young guys are sitting on the bench.

don’t want them to interupt this great defensive display, D’antoni is playing to win!
by Nolan B on Nov 25, 2009 11:36 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Based on this I think I can forgive Gallo
He was merely trying to fit in

dont know if you guys knew this...
but dontae (sp?) greene is a superstar.

I know you could break him out every night
with this bunch. But I think Francis the vomiting man is needed considering our opponent and general not giving a fuck a defense.

the way things are going

This definitely looks like a Francis the vomiting man night to me

We're playing the Kings
and weren’t even trying on defense.

That last drive by Harrington
was just a thing of beauty. Drive on a double team with Gallo wide open on the wing right there on your left. Instead take the offensive foul. How pathetic
