Game Thread: Knicks at Thunder- 1/11/10

Postcardoklahomacityokbroadway1910_medium

Evening, parsnips. Your Knicks are in the bustling metropolis of Oklahoma City tonight to face the high-flying Thunder. OKC is just about the coolest, most likable team you can find, with crazy kids like Russell Westbrook, Jeff Green, Eric Maynor, Serge Ibaka, and James Harden complementing the main attraction: Kevin Durant. It will likely be Wilson Chandler's duty to try and slow Durant's recent scoring rampage. I've got faith in Wilson's ability to at least bug "Durantula", but others aren't so convinced. Go get 'em, Wil.

Either way, the deep and potent Thunder will be an exceedingly difficult match-up for the Knicks. New York will need to steal Western road games like this, though, if they plan on getting back to .500.

Come on by to comment and don't forget to check out Welcome to Loud City for all things thunderous. Tipoff's at 8.

"just about the coolest, most likable team you can find"

Except for the fact that they’re the former Sonics, turned the 14th largest market in the U.S. and a city that actually produces good basketball players (i.e., brandon roy, nate rob, jamal crawford, etc) against the NBA and pretty much represents every reason why the NBA and David Stern doesn’t care about it’s fans.

But, yeah, they’re pretty likable other than that.

well

the players aren’t really responsible for that. i’m a russell westbrook fan, not a clay bennett fan.

by Seth on Jan 11, 2010 7:23 PM EST up reply actions  

I like the players too

But the Thunder will be forever boo’d. Growing up a Sonics fan it would’ve been nice to see KD a superstar for my team, but I guess I wouldn’t be paying attention to the Knicks as much as I do now if it didn’t happen.

I will root for Durant, but just like last year (http://espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=281114018), I want the Knicks to blow em out.

by deeznutz on Jan 11, 2010 7:39 PM EST up reply actions  

me too

i lose all appreciation for opposing players when the knicks are involved.

but yeah, they’re my second favorite team, and it’s all because of the young, exciting talent there.

by Seth on Jan 11, 2010 7:45 PM EST up reply actions  

My hope is we do not see Landry this game

He played 4 minutes against Charlotte and was a 11, he played 3 minutes against Houstorn and was a -5. It is impossible to be that bad in so short a time. Over the last 2 games, he has the worst +/ of all players despite playing only 7 min

Those minute should be spend on the likes of Hill or even Curry. Either of those can hardly be that bad

I do not care how great he is at practice, but our reserves are giving away the good work of the starter, and something has to change

Looking forward

to seeing Harden’s beard in action. Im a big Baron Davis fan and am not sold on Harden’s beard yet (although it is impressive for a young guy)

the knicks need a good beard

badly. this is so important to me. this is why i was so in favor of keeping joe crawford.

by Seth on Jan 11, 2010 7:57 PM EST up reply actions  

man

this is awesome. OKC announcers saying their post guys have a “big time defensive assignment” in David Lee. how sweet is that?

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 8:12 PM EST reply actions  

kinda weird

that duhon didn’t find Lee when they doubled him there

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 8:17 PM EST reply actions  

wtf

block the f out guys.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 8:23 PM EST reply actions  

christ on a crutch

horrific passing from us so far.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 8:25 PM EST reply actions  

this defense on durant makes no sense to me

they’re paying wayyyy to much attention to durant. why not just let chandler take him one-on-one and see what happens?

by Seth on Jan 11, 2010 8:26 PM EST reply actions  

the thunder

have the worst name/uniform/logo general aesthetic situation of any team in the league. they look like an NBDL franchise.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 8:30 PM EST reply actions  

chandler's knee

produces the first good pass of the night

by Seth on Jan 11, 2010 8:38 PM EST reply actions  

Our D is killing us

although the chicken with the head cut off approach on offense doesnt help

by Lexington on Jan 11, 2010 8:39 PM EST reply actions  

turnovers

seem to be killing us, im worried the knicks of old might be on there way back

by got more hops than nate, well..almost on Jan 11, 2010 8:39 PM EST reply actions  

also

need to learn how to play on the road, were like a different team at the garden

by got more hops than nate, well..almost on Jan 11, 2010 8:40 PM EST reply actions  

sadly...

we’re kinda lucky to get out only down 10. we failed at every aspect of the game of basketball that quarter.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 8:40 PM EST reply actions  

since this looks like a game from november

maybe we can expect a sudden burst of competence and comeback in the second half

by Seth on Jan 11, 2010 8:43 PM EST up reply actions  

Youre right

it was brutal man

PMAC

by pmac on Jan 11, 2010 8:43 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Hey guys! This is pretty fucking brutal, huh?!

Durant’s on pace for 60, you can’t even tell Gallo’s in the game, and there has yet to be a New York Knicks rebound!

What I just did

(turns on tv)
Knicks down 24 to 42
(turns off tv)

by Frederic Weis on Jan 11, 2010 8:51 PM EST reply actions  

gotta say

i like OKC’s announcing. proper level of excitement for a good young team clicking on all cylinders. Houston’s team would have creamed their jeans.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 8:52 PM EST reply actions  

lol wtf

how are we only down 10?

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 8:53 PM EST reply actions  

even after all that BS

if we could hit a shot now, we could be with in 6 easily.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 8:59 PM EST reply actions  

lol

some awkward “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” jokes on the OKC broadcast.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 9:02 PM EST reply actions  

Butterfingers by Nate

He could also maybe NOT leave his feet all the god damn time

by jlaw on Jan 11, 2010 9:04 PM EST reply actions  

well, then.

do everything exactly opposite in the second half and they’ll be fine.

by Seth on Jan 11, 2010 9:07 PM EST reply actions  

36 - 49 is the real story

FG%’s by each team. In other words, we are playing TERRIBLE, but you all knew that already.

Really hurts to watch this abomination. What happened to the Knicks from the last month?

by jlaw on Jan 11, 2010 9:07 PM EST reply actions  

Does anyone ever have vivid nightmares

about what this team would be like if we hadn’t resigned Nate/Lee?

by Stargazey on Jan 11, 2010 9:07 PM EST reply actions  

blast

i was hoping we’d take 1 of 2 on this mini-road trip.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 9:09 PM EST reply actions  

well

the western portion of this mini-road trip.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 9:10 PM EST up reply actions  

i hope

D’Antoni goes nuts on this team in the locker room. then they come out in the 2nd half and get the lead.

by Bigmo5246 on Jan 11, 2010 9:17 PM EST reply actions  

lol yah

that would be ideal.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 9:19 PM EST up reply actions  

im watching the celtics game on nba tv

how do they get away with their announcers shamelessly rooting against the other team? can we somehow get walt to make comments like “i hope durant breaks his ankle on the next play”

by Weasie on Jan 11, 2010 9:23 PM EST reply actions  

They’re from Boston. The standard for professionalism is low.

by Lexington on Jan 11, 2010 9:24 PM EST up reply actions  

I think when he entered the NBA. Sometime before the season started anyway.

by jlaw on Jan 11, 2010 9:27 PM EST up reply actions  

are we the only franchise in the league where if a fan says “Vintage [Insert Team Name]!”, it’s invariably super bitter and sarcastic?

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 9:28 PM EST reply actions  

ahhh shit

the freedocast just went out. i might have to finally break down and get league pass. Anyone else watching a stream?

by Weasie on Jan 11, 2010 9:29 PM EST reply actions  

league pass broadband

is superb. if you live in the ny area though, knicks games will be blacked out.

by Seth on Jan 11, 2010 9:30 PM EST up reply actions  

i think

it’s based on the zip code of the credit card, right? so if you can somehow pay it with a card from a non-NY zip code, you’ll be golden.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 9:31 PM EST up reply actions  

nah it's ip address

when i was in colorado i could watch knicks games

by Seth on Jan 11, 2010 9:32 PM EST up reply actions  

ah gotcha

MLB.tv does it based on c. card zip code.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 9:32 PM EST up reply actions  

wow

the scoreboard guy on the OKC broadcast has an incredibly quick trigger finger. score gets updated the second the shot goes down.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 9:30 PM EST reply actions  

seriously!

i keep getting pleasant surprises when i think i have to add two to whatever score there is after a thunder basket, but it’s always already been changed. gotta appreciate the little things.

by Seth on Jan 11, 2010 9:31 PM EST up reply actions  

Broadband is sick, this game is not.

and quick trigger, it is.

seriously, he knows what shots are going in!

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 9:35 PM EST up reply actions  

thank you nate

for being a mature individual.

by riise on Jan 11, 2010 9:37 PM EST reply actions  

really sloppy

we havent thrown a crisp pass in several minutes

by Lexington on Jan 11, 2010 9:37 PM EST reply actions  

what do we think?

failed comeback? or no comeback at all?

by Seth on Jan 11, 2010 9:47 PM EST reply actions  

only if

TD and HIll wanna do it.

by Lexington on Jan 11, 2010 9:48 PM EST up reply actions  

no comeback

just put my man J. Hill in for once- Let him daze and craze the opponents with his dreads!!!

by dpileofashes on Jan 11, 2010 9:51 PM EST reply actions  

yikes again

almost airballed that FT, AL

by Lexington on Jan 11, 2010 9:57 PM EST reply actions  

the pick and roll

is not impossible to defend. but we make it look that way

by Lexington on Jan 11, 2010 9:59 PM EST reply actions  

Gallo

0 Points 9 Rebounds w/ about 2 mins left…..ew?

by kglash2211 on Jan 11, 2010 10:14 PM EST reply actions  

Why

Why do beers like Miller Lite and Bud Lite advertise their taste? Why don’t they just say they’re cheap and leave it at that?
