Raise your hand if you knew that game was over when Al Harrington caught the inbounds. Yup.
That couldn't be more indicative of his play in this one. I love the enthusiasm, but I've never seen someone single-handedly brake an offense like Al does.
We'll talk about this more later. For now, LEZZZZ VENNNNNT.

I always wondered whether or not the wife divorces him when he comes home drunk.

well, you said "handedly brake," which is similar to a hand-brake.
what movie was it where there’s a paralyzed person who races carts or something and they have to use a hand brake instead of a regular brake?
That’s going to torment me.

raps fan here
Just wanted to say nice try…. i felt really bad for all knicks fans when i saw al harrington holding the new york jersey on his chest after he hit a three in the third (i think)…. it made me realize how much i would hate him on my team….. how the hell can he do that when he has done nothing but negatively contribute to the knicks winning…
all i can say is… try hold hope and be pateint… we were terrible and have pulled out of it…specifically hedo was a disaster and we just have to be patient and he is improving.
i used 2 hate
cbosh but i wouldnt mind him as a knick. hes fast as shit, i dont get to s ee him on tv that much.
also glad on the day he got snubbed dlee went out a (numerically) basically negated Cbosh.

Not that I want to be Al's defender but
that charging foul was bull. Al was starting his upward motion before Jack got in position and his left foot is still moving when contact occurs.
The play looked to be going to Nate but he couldn’t get across to the line in time for Gallo to see him…he’d already inbounded to Al. There was nobody really open from then on (maybe WC) so in Al goes.
EST +5 hours is hard work sometimes...
I agree on that charge foul
Jack was clearly still moving when contact was made.
It was a shit call on an awful selfish play.
Interestingly, I had just seen a spot on NBA TV with the NBA’s head referee challening a few guys to “Make The Call”. One was a charge or a block. They called a block because of lateral movement when the player had started his upward movement. They also said you do not necessarily have to be completely still to draw a charge. But the key was the lateral movement.
hey, nice to see the consistency from the NBA Officlals…. assholes.

After not watching basketball for several years
and coming back to it this year, I will say that they call a lot more charges now. Used to be if there was any movement by the defender, they’d call it a block.
Now, they call a charge if the defender hops in front of the guy driving and freezes a split second before contact and – this is key – has his arms down.
Jeffries gets that call all the time so I’m not necessarily complaining about it but it’s different than it used to be.
Also
Al was fouled very blatantly on the perimeter after getting the inbounds pass.

Oh, and pity me...
International Pass was totally cludged out last night so just finished watching the replay today. Delightful TSN coverage (on an MSG game? For the second time this season?) with that idiot Mike Devlin. I had to have the sound down most of the time.

Raps fan here
His name is Matt Devlin, and we hate him here too. I don’t understand how he still has a job when nobody can listen to him. He also looks like he has served time for molesting children.
Yeah that's the second game I watched with those guys commentating.
It’s like being in hell.

And another Jarrett Jack look-a-like..?
Fellow Georgia Tech alumnus & our favourite locker room cancer, S*****n M*****y.
OK, I’ll shut up now. I hate losing games like these…

Ouch
Watched Knicks in 60 this morning and that was quite the bummer ending.
Very Clippers-like final play.
i shut off the tv in anger after that last play
what was gallo thinking just hanging on to the ball like that?
It seemed very nonchalant, that whole last play. What a waste.
Good game otherwise though.
I had not really wanted Bosh this offseason… but this game made me change my mind. I think he would be great here with LBJ.
in his defense
he claims that the knee that has been bothering him hurt so bad on that play, he wasnt able to make a move or pull the brakes…regardless, i cant wait till we have 3 allstars nxt season (lee lbj bosh)…and maybe evn cock
<follow me @theinfamousazad
ugghh
just got done watching the last few plays… that was terrible.. i have to approaches to that play.
1. Harrington seemed like he panicked after almost losing the inbound. great defensive on that play.. but afterwards he tucked his head and drove straight to the rim.. i mean.. there was a LITTLE bit more time to do something other than that.
or
2. Dantoni should have had a second play in case the first didnt happen right..
i believe harrington wasnt to get the inbound pass(which prolly had something to do w/ him freestyling the last play) but yea, great coaches have two plays coming in after a timeout for the last play of the game.. theres always a chance the defense does something that negates your original designed play. it seemed like every knick was stationary after the debacle after the inbound…smh
cmon Dantoni.. i have more faith in you than that last play showed i should have.
if gallo had shot the ball instead of inbounding it to harrington
and it just happened to go in, would it count?
