at this team. Other than David and Nate, this team looks like they don’t fucking care. Fuck. My dad’s talking to me last night about going to a game soon and I say, " Why so we can be excited to see the Knicks only down 13 points? I’m not paying to watch the Knicks lose." And I’m a Knicks fan, I wonder what the nyk haters say……………………….

so I got a chance to watch “up close and personal”. Seeing as I live out here in Cali, I don’t get to watch the Knicks very often. I follow along on the computer, and read everything I can after games, of course, but I don’t see a lot of game action live.
I realize this morning that that’s probably a good thing.
I was so completely embarrassed last night, I can’t even put it into words. I can root for a bad team — hell, Knicks fans are quite used to that, unfortunately — but I can’t abide a team that gives little or no effort on the court. I haven’t dribbled a basketball in about 5 years, and I seriously think I could put double digits up on the Knicks if given the minutes. They just don’t try! I mean, they let anyone who wants drive the lane and score at will. I’ve never seen so many easy buckets by the opposition in my life. It’s disgusting to watch, really.
Some random thoughts as I sat courtside … Gallinari is stiff — seems difficult for him to even bend over to grab a loose ball. I’m afraid that all he’ll ever be is a 3-point specialist you bring in for late-game offense. He shows no inclination to rebound or defend.
Robinson is fun to watch – and he’s an offensive sparkplug, but too interested in scoring to bother to play D as well. I’m glad he’ll be leaving.
I feel sorry for David Lee. He’ll be a good player on a good team next year, and he’ll finally get what he deserves – a playoff spot.
Chris Duhon is horrible. No confidence … completely shot. He’s a waste of a roster spot. I think we ought to start Douglas the rest of the way — hell, at least Douglas acts like he wants to hustle and play D.
Larry Hughes simply wants the game to finish in order to keep cashing checks. His body language, effort — everything – screams “How much time is left?!”
Sorry guys, thanks for letting me rant — just a disgusting, disgusting performance. I’m really discouraged today … oh well, there’s “always next year”.

Jordan Hill had 4 rebounds in 9 minutes!

otherwise you will go crazy. Like someone said above, I don’t mind losing this year, I expected to lose this year, but there is no excuse for a lack of effort on the floor. The only time I have seen much effort was when talk about bringing in AI was around and Duhon started to think that he better do something of anything. Now it all just seems to have fallen back into a depressing lull. Gallo really does worry me, hot and cold, doesn’t particularly look interested in doing anything but shoot, their is no ‘help’ defence anywhere on this team, and the lanes are wider than Paris Hilton’s legs. It’s painful watching this team right now.

when i close my eyes i see harrington dribbling full-speed toward me with his head down.

Nate, TD, gallo, lee, hill, and chandler should play with 25-35 min a night. work curry in when he’s healthy for his trade potential.
 if we win by some divine intervention, terrific. If we lose, we’ll do it it the right way with guys that want to play and/or need to develop. The occasional win doesn’t merit playing these veterans, who all jokes aside, may actually be making the young guns worse players with their attitude and inability to get guys involved.

why dont they just take two buses to the arena, with the guys who should play on bus #1 and those that shouldn’t on bus #2. Bus #2 just drives around the city in circles, and when duhon realizes whats up 3 hours later, the driver turns around revealing himself to be donnie walsh. “it’s for the good of the team chris. Now sit down” he says. Duhon bows his head disgraced, and the wheels of the past roll on into the darkest chapter of Knicks history…
…Meanwhile, Harrington munches on some cookies, while darko and jeffries play scrabble without a dictionary (the longest word is “fow”).

are never good for teams like this. i wish the Knicks would play as hard as the Kings because on paper, that team is complete dogshit yet they actually have a pulse.
