Game Thread: Knicks vs. Jazz- 11/9/09

Utah Jazz at New York Knicks, Nov 9, 2009 7:30 PM EST


Honey_bee_medium

Good evening, all. Tonight's game against the Utah Jazz is important for all sorts of reasons. One is simply that the Knicks have lost three straight since beating the Hornets and desperately need to get back in the win column. Another is the perpetual headache that is the Knicks' 2010 lottery pick, which is headed to Utah. Every loss brings the Jazzes closer to John Wall and Derrick Favors. A loss to Utah would be the absolute worst.

Meanwhile, tonight's game will be preceded by a special feature called "Dinner with Danilo" in which Tina Cervasio eats dinner with Danilo Gallinari and a gathering of his friends and family. You probably shouldn't miss that.

This here thread is for all of you watching the game and, of course, the meal. Stop by throughout the night to comment and head on over to SLC Dunk for all things jazzy.

Dinner with Danilo

made me crack open a bottle of vino. I believe this will be the highlight of the evening. Getting buzzed before the game starts…this may be the key to surviving 2009!

I'd just like to go on record before this game starts...

and say that knowing the Knicks, they will probably win this one in a close, hard-fought battle. Simply because they played some of the worst basketball ever to grace FSN Wisconsin, or whatever the fuck their channel is called. This is simply the way the Knicks play. There is no real explanation.

Or maybe they will just lose again. Yeah, probably. Either way, it’s depressing.

I'd rather be him called a rookie than a flop last year

because I’ve heard that. apparently his inability to dominate with a bad back means he must be another worthless soft euro

seems like the knicks block a lot of shots these days

defense is still a little porous, but at least they’re getting better.
duhon is a liability no matter where he is on the court…i could see him as a knicks backup next year if he’s cheap, but otherwise, forget about him. he’s rubbing his head on his own ceiling.

Why is Gallo constantly being subbed in and out?

That play was nice even if it didn’t go in, but how is he supposed to get involved with the flow of the game if he gets subbed in and out every 2 minutes?

0% from the 3

I’ve gotten used to first half blowouts already, I’m sure we will make a 4th quarter run so our loss will look more respectable than it was.

by Nolan B on Nov 9, 2009 8:41 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

but like

compared to a 25 or 30 point deficit, 17 ain’t shit! i feel like it’s tied!

Many years ago

I moved to Atlanta. But I maintained my NY sports allegiance, and my 11 y.o. son, being the great guy that he is, hangs with my teams as well. This year he has finally said “Dad, I think I’m going to be a Hawks fan. I don’t really like the Hawks but the kids at school are making fun”. Poor kid. I told him to go for it. As for me, having grown up with the greatest Knicks teams in the 70’s (I was at the Willis Reed game against the Lakers and the triple OT playoff win against the Celtics) have no choice but to stick with them.

ive been to a game and all i remember seeing him do is stand around waiting for a rebound

he rly doesnt put in much effort. they dont show it on the screen but in real life you can see how lackadaisical they all are on d

fuck you al.

didnt the first ten bricks make it obvious youre not having a good game. if he makes another pass we get another open shot.

Coincidence. Few nights ago there was a MSG show about great Knick comebacks

and the one they showed was from, I think 1973 against these Bucks when they made a huge 4th Q charge and came back from like 13 or something.

by Shivling on Nov 9, 2009 9:19 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

i remember another game against the bucks i think

we were down by 30 something. final score was in our favor. biggest comeback in team history. i recall this was during tim thomas’s first tenure here wit us

as brainless as Al can be I’d trust him to keep a lead over Dave “The Doorman” Lee, who only cares about the rebound

by Nolan B on Nov 9, 2009 9:21 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

seriously go to a game and look at lee on defense

all he cares about is the ball. nothing else matters not even the man hes “guarding”

how about the way hughes and douglas really penetrate off the pick and roll play… duhon is just not the athlete those guys are.

by Knicks Fan in OZ on Nov 9, 2009 9:27 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

hate to keep bashing duhon but...

… he just doesnt get it done on either end. we havent had solid d in the back court since sprewell.

hughes and douglas need to get the bulk of the minutes… even when n8 comes back.

holy smokes

still needs less duhon though

The team need to practice more

Play 3 quarter of 5 on 5 prior to tip off, then let the team go out to play 4 quarters

Larry Hughes

TO too much and miss too many in the last 5

by a hay on Nov 9, 2009 9:56 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

he plays well with Toney too

Since they can handle point duties. Toney has great handles and a high iq but he’s not a great passer. You can see why Douglas grew up idolizing Joe Dumars, he’s basically a tough undersized SG who can handle point duties but would be best used if he can split them with Hughes or Nate.

Plus Hughes and Toney make an outstanding defensive back court

Quick Question

Name the Knick who most often evokes your most vitriol screams at the TV

Al Harrington is mine by a clean mile, its not even close

by sean8686 on Nov 9, 2009 10:00 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

yeah no doubt

look… he competes but its all ego. 4 – 14 with half of those shot coming off plays where he killed the ball movement by facing up and going one on one.

Al is a smart guy who says all the right things to the media types and he might be a really chill guy off the court. But what he does ON the court is what matters to me. Whether or not he realizes it he is a chemistry killer because he goes out to get his… AL is all ego on the court and it makes me sick.

notice how people stopped putting AL and Larry Hughes in the same group of players. Larry might think he is better than he is but you can tell in his mind he respects the players around him. He not only sets up other guys off his dribble drives… he is looking to do it before the ball hits the floor. Its a mindset AL just doesn’t have.

I scream at AL’s poor decisions most of the game.

needless to say this is a big fat cosign. I know AL can ball and I never thought you could refer to a guy who drops the occasional 40pt game a problem for his team. but thats what AL is and hopefully he gets moved to a team that can use his offensive explosiveness.

by Knicks Fan in OZ on Nov 9, 2009 10:11 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I think his heart is in the right place, but he only knows how to serve himself when he’s playing. He thinks he’s better than he is and feels like forcing everything himself is the best option. Like Crawford he’d be great on a team that could ride him when he’s hot [no homo] off the bench, but we can’t afford to be killing the flow with him.

It wasn’t right that he got to stay in and kill offense when Gallo was frozen out after making two great plays in a row.

by Nolan B on Nov 9, 2009 10:14 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Toney Douglas = Joe Dumars 2.0

As long as he can share point duties with Hughes, Nate or Gallo he should definitely be starting

gallo allstar potential
lee allstar potential
toney douglas too early to establish a ceiling
