Game Thread: Knicks at Hawks- 12/4/09

New York Knicks at Atlanta Hawks, Dec 4, 2009 7:30 PM EST


800px-atlanta_roundhouse_ruin3_medium
Good evening, you rascals. In the midst of some tantalizing trade rumors, the Knicks are in Atlanta tonight to face the high-flying Hawks. New York played half a solid game (the first half, oddly) against ATL last time, but crumbled in the latter quarters en route to a double-digit loss. Unless they can sharpen the poor perimeter defense and abysmal shot selection they showed in Orlando, we're in for another rough night.

I've got some obligations to take care of, so I'll likely be missing about half this game. Nonetheless, come on by to discuss the action with your fellow rascals, and one of you could even try your hand at a recap if you're feeling brave. Spend your night here, and stop by Peachtree Hoops to taste what it's like to win, then come back and remember what it's like to suffer. Peace.

whoa

that guy threw the ball and the other guy caught it and dunked it in one motion

what was that?

by Seth on Dec 4, 2009 8:02 PM EST reply actions  

that was the best shooting ive seen

and we are only up 1. thats how bad our defense is.

by jayvb on Dec 4, 2009 8:04 PM EST reply actions  

Can we keep this up?

Or are they gonna have to go to the hospital after 4 hours?

"It ain't over till its over"---

by FreeBradshaw on Dec 4, 2009 8:04 PM EST reply actions  

so does this mean

we shouldn’t trade harrington? or is this his knick swan song? Or, can we get more than tyrus thomas for him?

by Ray Smuckles on Dec 4, 2009 8:10 PM EST reply actions  

i guess id go with #3 ideally

you know, if i was donnie walsh..which i am not

from shooting extra jump shots?

by Seth on Dec 4, 2009 8:31 PM EST reply actions  

shooting %

i think it’s becoming clear that some bad luck had a lot to do with our early struggles this year. not to suggest we’ll keep anything close to this up, but the Suns game and this game show that when we hit shots, we can beat teams. A bit of bad luck makes a lot more sense than some kind of bizarre regression.

so lets end the game now.

uncanny

and your right riise, just a slow start combined with bloated expectations. knicks have the right attitude though, this is what the young guns should be learning.

teeny tiny complaint though – cant jeffries 11 minutes go to jordan hill? no one wants to seem jj play, especially teams that might trade for him

by Ray Smuckles on Dec 4, 2009 8:38 PM EST reply actions  

More Duhon.

He’s even dishing and swishing.

the nate benching is cool, bad attitude

and i guess gallo is hurt. but hill? give him a chance: he runs, he defends, he shoots jumpers. and let TD breath as well, this is his type of game

robinson and curry

to portland for andre miller. just saying

by Ray Smuckles on Dec 4, 2009 9:14 PM EST reply actions  

yeah your right.

and he’s too old to be a knick. robinson, harrington, and curry for mcgrady, if AL isnt sent to the midwest

by Ray Smuckles on Dec 4, 2009 9:21 PM EST up reply actions  

If they don't trade Al for Tyrus..

I’d rather keep him than throw him in for McGrady (if they do that trade too…)

Or, instead at least throw in Larry Hughes.

i thought it was gonna be a blowout. lets see if harrington’s career night results in a knick win.

The Knicks are shooting 56% and 48% from three

Atlanta’s shooting 44% and 19% from three

And we’re up by only 7… uh oh.

by fuhry on Dec 4, 2009 9:37 PM EST reply actions  

Wow, two DNPs for Nate? I smell a trade.

by Stargazey on Dec 4, 2009 9:38 PM EST reply actions  

I hope something bigger than that, Tyrus ain’t the answer. McGrady at least.

by Stargazey on Dec 4, 2009 9:42 PM EST up reply actions  

there are definitely teams thin at SG that could use him off the bench

especially for a playoff push. Chicago, OKC, even milwaukee with redd hurt indefinitely

by Ray Smuckles on Dec 4, 2009 9:44 PM EST up reply actions  

If we trade Al and Nate though, our offense will actually be nothing but pick and rolls. And Gallo.

by Stargazey on Dec 4, 2009 9:48 PM EST up reply actions  

Wow

First layup ive seen duhon hit all year

by mercy on Dec 4, 2009 9:41 PM EST reply actions  

duuuuuuuuhon!

when he actually ATTEMPTS his layups, he looks good

by jayvb on Dec 4, 2009 9:41 PM EST reply actions  

that's why i've been so grumpy this year

if he sucked, it’d be one thing. he doesn’t. he just hasn’t been assertive at all. this is refreshing, but we knew he had it in him all along.

by Seth on Dec 4, 2009 9:42 PM EST up reply actions  

After this game

I dont think Al’s stock is gonna be any higher, TRADE HIM.

by mercy on Dec 4, 2009 9:42 PM EST reply actions  

chandler

is good. i am against practically any trade ideas that involve him

by Ray Smuckles on Dec 4, 2009 9:47 PM EST reply actions  

but we have so many forwards

id trade him if we got a good long term PG or C

by jayvb on Dec 4, 2009 9:48 PM EST up reply actions  

i admit that in the grand scheme

my opinion is not worth much, but i still hold out that will can play the 2 guard. Gallo potentially could as well. Chandler fits hear if he continues to improve. Its true though, that the most important hing for this team is a true, long term, pg.

Joe Johnson

I dont really like his game. He reminds me of al harrington, except he hits more of his shots.

by mercy on Dec 4, 2009 9:49 PM EST reply actions  

yup.

and we’d have to pay him a max deal.

STAY AWAY.

thanks for commenting, everybody.

recap might be up later tonight, more likely in the morning.

have a great night

i dont not see that coming

this month of full of winnable games. if we play like this for the rest of the month we can get back to not-embarrassingly-bad

winnable games

are apparently the ones against contenders

by Seth on Dec 4, 2009 9:54 PM EST up reply actions  

yea

i could see us losing to the nets sunday

by jayvb on Dec 4, 2009 9:55 PM EST up reply actions  

we are only 3.5 games out of the 8th seed

the season is not over if duhon stays aggressive and danilo continues to improve

for real?

WOW the East sucks.

"It ain't over till its over"---

by FreeBradshaw on Dec 4, 2009 9:57 PM EST up reply actions  

if they don't make any of these trades

to break up this """chemistry""…Could they go .500 the rest of the way?

I mean even in their recent loses, they’ve played pretty well, even in the Orlando losses where if Dwight Howard actually was a good player, they’d beat the Knicks by 50.

"It ain't over till its over"---

it seems like

we dont have random awful quarters as much anymore. you can see the teamwork is improving, if we can keep it together mentally, stay aggressive, we got a shot at the 8th seed.

by jayvb on Dec 4, 2009 10:03 PM EST up reply actions  

if the playoffs started today

charlotte would be the 8th seed at 7-10. ha.

if they win tonight, it won’t be as much of a story if and when they beat the knicks on sunday.

i live in jersey

a lot of nets fans. im hoping they go 0-82.

by "a lot"

i meant about as many nets fans as knicks fans. there’s not really a lot of either at this point.
