Game Thread: Knicks vs. Blazers- 12/7/09

Portland Trail Blazers at New York Knicks, Dec 7, 2009 7:30 PM EST


Portlandoregon1890_medium

Evenin', piglets. The Knicks play the second of a back-to-back tonight, following yesterday's win over the Nets with an evening affair against the Portland Trailblazers. Portland's fallen on some hard luck lately, with Greg Oden's knee explosion punching holes in the Blazer depth chart and the hearts of fans everywhere. Even without Oden, though, Portland's a tough opponent for our Knicks. This match-up has blown a few of my fuses before, and the Blazers' abundance of competent scorers should pose problems for New York's notoriously permissive defense.

Because my professor feels he should punish us when he misses class, I will miss the entirety of tonight's game. If one of y'all (preferably someone literate) wants to pen a recap of the action, that would be marvelous. Otherwise, stop by this thread for comments, and check out Blazersedge to see the absolute height of sports blogging. There might not be a better team site on the internet.

Tipoff's at 7:30. Comment away.

Good luck Knickerbocker fans

Trail Blazer fan here trying to keep my chin up after the devastating loss of Greg Oden. Not sure what to make of the Knicks team, but David Lee is a guy I’d really like to see in red & black. I’ll be watching him close. The up and downery of the PTBs this year makes this anybodies ball game. Unless Roy decides of course it’s time to really take the reigns once again. Not sure if the Knicks have a Brandon stopper or not. Like I said, good luck oh and thanks for the props to Blazers Edge. You got that right!

Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.

He will confuse and upset Roy with the mighty lazy eye.

Al

This is the Al that I hate. Putting up awful shots and not taking it to the rim, like the Al of the last few games that’s been so great.

in light of this jersey shore madness that ive been hearing about all weekend, i think gallinari should start tanning, wax his eyebrows, and get some cross tattoos, maybe even going as far as getting a blowout

Anyone else think that if Gallo had been able to play last year he’d be pretty high up in the ROY conversation?

Is the cock managing a block per game yet?

Not a fan of his offense yet today, but he’s as active defensively as ever.

ive noticed that gallo is a good weakside rebounder as well – is it just me or do all of his boards come from that side

by tz88 on Dec 7, 2009 8:21 PM EST reply actions  

a lot of our boards in general are

this lineup isn’t big enough to legit outrebound people. but i like that i’m seeing a lot of tap-outs and just board-crashing in general.

are you talking about 5 min ago when he grabbed nate on the sideline and started showing him/doing this awkard limping walk?

I will continue to torture you all with my complaints about this god damn fucking SpongeBob commercial.

Until they stop playing it once a quarter on the radio broadcast. Help me, people of P&T. Write in to 1050 and tell them to get bent.

not game specific but a general note…ive notice d’antoni has been sticking gallo on “weaker” point guards as a way of masking him (makes sense IMO)…this also reaffirms the fact that in order to be great in this league, danilo is gonna have to bulk up be able to guard the 4 position

by tz88 on Dec 7, 2009 8:25 PM EST reply actions  

He needs more strength definitely but his help defense is excellent, he plays smart and knows how to use his length.

the blazers are switching on every screen

it’s a weird defensive strategy against a team like us who hopes that you play into our mismatches. we’re killing them on it.

by Rodger Sherman on Dec 7, 2009 8:30 PM EST reply actions  

Jeff would be a great player if his contract was proportional to his skills. He’s a maybe 3-5m per year at the highest guy, not 11.

Gallo gets fouled with :02 left in the half, before the ball is even inbounded. Has to drive a coach absolutely insane.

lee is always a great mid game post game interview…you can tell he has a great basketball IQ and studies the game too

by tz88 on Dec 7, 2009 8:42 PM EST reply actions  

Don’t know why your comment just made me think of this, but I was at a Ranger game once, waiting in the breezeway to get back to the seats. There was this really tall dude in front of me in a “LEE 42” Ranger jersey. Just when I thought “what kind of tool would get a Ranger jersey with David Lee’s name on it,” I realized that it was the man himself. With the hottest piece of ass anyone here could possibly imagine, of course.

Johnny Hoops says the Knicks have 22 points off of 12 turnovers…that is very good indeed. Blazers shooting 41% so far. Lots of energy for a back-to-back.

dont think i wanna do something shady

i’m at work. is it possible they blocked it? seems unlikely cause i can get to the site and everything, it just won’t load the game.

What is interesting is how well we are playing a relatively slow, defense orientated game

Tons of credit to Mike, he’s really found some chemistry and is playing the opponent well.

yeah this is nasty

dont hear any “we want nate” chants either

Gallo deserves some 4th quarter stat padding

His defense has been nasty.

Great game all around today, I’m loving the effort

or the fact tehy haven’t blown it yet?

David Lee blocked a shot. By another basketball player. Knicks almost blew a 23 point lead.

it’s almost nice to see gallo miss his first three shots, cause i know he’ll pick it up
