Game Thread: Knicks at Hornets- 12/11/09

New York Knicks at New Orleans Hornets, Dec 11, 2009 8:00 PM EST


Mardigrascanalstreet1890schartresgazebo_medium
Evening, snitches. I'm writing this about 4 p.m. on Friday, but it'll be posted about an hour before gametime in New Orleans. As you read this, I'm headed out of town, likely at the detriment of my ability to watch tonight's contest. If you'd like to recap in the usual format, make yourself heard and I'd be more than happy to oblige.

As for what I'll be missing tonight, the Hornets were the Knicks' first victim of the year once upon a time, and have been through all kinds of tumult since then. Chris Paul got injured and revived, Byron Scott got canned, and the NBA got its first walrus head coach. Paul is deadly as ever, but Emeka Okafor also posed serious problems in the first match-up between these two clubs. Luckily, Eddy Curry should be returning tonight, and he can at least give some fouls, if not actually stop New Orleans' frontcourt.

Anyway, this is your spot to comment throughout the game, as well as volunteer to recap if you're so inclined. I hope everybody has a wonderful night, and especially the Knicks. Come on by to talk to your fellow Knicks bros, and head on over to At The Hive as well.

Hopefully we win

Lets hope these knicks play like they have the last few games and get a win

by Bigmo5246 on Dec 11, 2009 7:56 PM EST reply actions  

More so than winning

I want Eddy Curry to play really well, so that we could trade him ASAP. If he doesn’t string together at least 10 straight decent games there’s no way we’re getting rid of him.

Did any else think

…that MDA’s praise of CP3 in the Post today was a wee bit too effusive?

http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/knicks/rise_and_paul_jKi9sViraSUzHFR4PFCamI

“Chris does what Chris wants to do,” D’Antoni said. “It’s not up to us. He’ll make threes, he’ll make great passes and we just try to eliminate the other guys as much as we can and try to limit what he produces — which will be a lot.”

Damn, son…how ’bout a little gamesmanship.

Rangers, Royals, Raiders, Knicks...the man loves a winner.

There goes our win streak.

So far, all jumpshots, 15 feet or more, and all bad ones. Hornets up 11-0. In comes Gallo.

not game over but the four day break was clearly gonna deflate our momentum.

Gallo

Theyre doing a good job incorporating him into the offense tonight.

Do What Danilo Gallinari Do

He makes one bad shot..and immediately makes up for it on the other end. This kid is a player.

There is a very large man making an appearance for the Knickerbockers.

Curry

2 minutes of playing time, 2 fouls, 1 turnover.

true but he hasn’t played in a few weeks him being out of sync is expected you know

Hey guys I’m new to commenting here but i read the blog frequently thought I’d start commenting… that CP3 foul at the end of the first was clearly after the buzzer he got the call because he;s CP3

by TJF2787 on Dec 11, 2009 8:47 PM EST reply actions  

hopefully there will be a day

when Gallo gets calls because he’s Gallo.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

random thought

i’ve been reading a lot about how the Knicks are going to move Nate once he becomes trade eligible on the 22nd. good thing? bad thing?

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

by Anthony Masons Haircut on Dec 11, 2009 8:55 PM EST reply actions  

I have mixed feelings about it.. I mean it really depends what we get back in the deal which at this point wont be a lot. I like nate and I do think he can mature but trading him now while his value’s down i don’t know.

by TJF2787 on Dec 11, 2009 8:58 PM EST up reply actions  

i don't think there's any reason to let him go

unless they can package Curry or Jeffries with him, which is doubtful.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

Why is gallo sitting on phil jacksons thrown lol he looks like he’s 7 foot sitting down… is it because of his back?

clearly has a bad back

that’s the only thing keeping him from kobe numbers, haha

Give Credit!

I’m chalking this streak extending win up to Stingy D’s inspiring post today. Who’s got love Chris Paul now? Knicks pushing for the playoffs is all I’m interested these days.

by StarksMiddleFinger on Dec 11, 2009 10:23 PM EST reply actions  

Duhon

Needs him mom to send him more of that gumbo

by ibnyc on Dec 11, 2009 10:23 PM EST reply actions  

a few days ago

I asked if this new aggressive Duhon should be expected all the time. Looks like he delivered the answer tonight.

by StarksMiddleFinger on Dec 11, 2009 10:25 PM EST up reply actions  

22 and 9 with 0 turnovers.

by ibnyc on Dec 11, 2009 10:26 PM EST up reply actions  

To his credit

He hasn’t been turning the ball over all season. But 6-8 from three indicates the end is indeed nigh.

by fuhry on Dec 11, 2009 10:47 PM EST up reply actions  

Dudes

The Knicks shot 52% from three

by fuhry on Dec 11, 2009 10:23 PM EST reply actions  

unreal

i’m no Hollinger, but i have to assume the Knicks’ win predictor has to jump 5872% when Duhon shoots 6-of-8 from three.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

by Anthony Masons Haircut on Dec 11, 2009 10:24 PM EST up reply actions  

Great win. Bank shot 3s just became the new layup.

Gallo's Defense

was a big “shut your mouth” to all those writers who look at him and say he’s a liability on defense because he’s skinny and white. He had very good, and very clutch defense tonight.

So

Hornets shot ice cold in 2nd half – Knicks defense or luck?

by fuhry on Dec 11, 2009 10:31 PM EST reply actions  

Give credit to the defense!

And I’m not just saying that with hometown bias. Besides Peja, the Hornets don’t really have any other great shooters. Posey and Paul are okay, but not amazing, and West has the mid-range, but he was usually looking at a hand in his face. The Knicks did a good job of buttoning up Peja in the second half, and contested everything else.

by StarksMiddleFinger on Dec 11, 2009 10:35 PM EST up reply actions  

I know...

It feels really weird to say, “give credit to the Knicks defense.” Boy! That hasn’t rolled off my tongue since the 90’s.

it was like they was everywhere at one time, the second a hornet took a shot there was like six knicks jerseys up in the air contesting them even tho only five are allowed on court

Think it was Du that said in the postgame that all they did to make adjustments during halftime was lock in on Peja. Makes sense, as he killed the Knicks at the end fo the first half.

That was pretty sweet, but even as Du was nailing those threes, I was saying “err, this is not how we want to be winning games.” If he’s feeling it, though, it’s pretty awesome to watch.

Rangers, Royals, Raiders, Knicks...the man loves a winner.

Yeah

They scored the games last 18 points. Down by one, POW! Up by 17, game over.
