Lakers 109, Knicks 87: "This game is very, very constipated."

The Knicks might have used up all their offense in Phoenix because as BJabs pointed out, the team was very, very constipated tonight. The Lakers ended the Knicks' winning streak at three in a bizarre game where all of the Knicks' options were silenced.
The night began with the kind of gaiety that you'd expect when the two largest markets collide. You surely saw our beloved Clyde Frazier kill it with another animal themed suit that much-resembled TV static from a distance, but you knew it was a special affair when he pulled out THESE SHOES. Seriously, Clyde came to see Black Mamba with his own boots ready to strike, stompin' and chompin' his way to Staples.
The game was equally eventful in that it was physical as all hell and featured technical fouls, flagrants and an ejection. But for all of those happenings, the Knicks couldn't put together any kind of momentum to give this game any real excitement.
Click over for some quick notes.
Mike D'Antoni continued to tweak his ever changing starting lineup and started Shawne Williams over Ronny Turiaf to space the floor for poops and make the Lakers play the Knicks' game. They came out in the first few minutes with the kind of pace and peskiness needed to counter that Laker length. ALL the hands were in passing lanes forcing turnovers possession after possession but it wasn't long before the Lakers imposed their will with that size advantage.
At some point, Amar'e Stoudemire and Raymond Felton were going to have awful games at the same time. Tonight was that night. Amar'e needed 24 shots to score 23 points as he struggled putting up shots over two seven-footers. He did throw back some nonsense for six blocks but couldn't offer much resistance against Andrew Bynum in the post.
Felton seemed out of it from the start which is a shame cause we all expected him to split Derek Fisher in half. He literally threw it straight to Ron Artest on one possession and alley-ooped it to no one in particular on a 3-on-1 fastbreak on another. He also wasn't able to force the defense to collapse nearly as much as usual which threw the entire ecosystem off for the outside shooters.
Wilson Chandler was forced to create as a result which has been a damn good option for this team, but he was up against Ron Artest tonight, and even when he scored 11 points in the first, he needed 10 shots to do it. He missed all five of his threes too, but even with Ron on his case all night, he got free on a give-and-go for a GLORIOUSLY violent stuff.
Speaking of Ron Ron, he caught some feelings cause Extra E wouldn't say Queensbridge. Then he went all Smackdown vs Raw on Amar'e. So not chill, dude.
Extra E in his starting rolee defended admirably given his vertical handicap but like most Knicks, was constipated missing five poops. Could've used that sign for support, man. Or some fiber.
Landry Fields had one of those dirty jobs guarding Kobe Bryant. You have to give the rook a hand with this performance. Kobe needed 28 shots to score 27 and had a low scoring first half. He made Kobe take tougher shots than necessary on occassion, granted that's his MO, and only picked up one foul in the process. Landryman also had a perky putback dunk that got me out of my seat for the rest of the game.
I don't have any notes for Bill Walker but I do have this picture of his launching point on a very ambitious dunk attempt.
Andrew Bynum was the real difference in the game. He parked in the lane and dunked his way to 18 points in just 24 minutes. He was pinning Amar'e deep, establishing early post position, and getting in front of the basket the entire night. It was like watching the RedZone channel except I was praying for a commercial break. The Knicks' only answer for him was Kobe taking jump shots instead of dumping it down. He eventually got ejected in the opening minute of the fourth quarter to arguing a call and, I think, really gently grazing the official but the damage had already been done.
Clyde eventually weighed in on the technicals and said of Kobe, "When you come to practice in a helicopter, who's going to call a tech on you?" Valid point. But on a night where players were getting testy, Clyde had some really nice things to say about Bill Bradley in the second quarter including this gem: "He was straight up as 12 o'clock." Phil Jackson also let us know that Clyde once owned an elephant skin jacket that "must've weighed 40 lbs." Clyde's still taking over games without trying.
The Knicks struggled in the areas we knew they would. There was a glimmer of hope as we all figured the offense would pick up at some point in the second half but they kept missing their way to an incredibly crummy 88 points on 100 possessions. This is the kind of game where Danilo Gallinari is missed. Walker and Williams simply don't provide the same scoring threat and creativity off the dribble, so when the top three scorers are shut down, there isn't much of anything to fall back on in his absence.
Let's all nurse our wounds, take a couple of phoenix downs, and gear up for Portland.

Hahahahaha
I love all the metaphors, and Clyde was just amazing. The length of the Lakers is just too much, and Felton couldn’t abuse the mismatch as much as he needed to. I also think Fields did an amazing job on Kobe, considering that the Lakers didn’t really need him to shoot the ball that much for them to win.
Oh, and the phoenix down reference is awesome.

please tell me when this was. B/c i didnt see it.
when we were at our smallest. The lakers were also very small.
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
I didn’t see the Lakers go small – I think between Bynum, Gasol, and Odom, two of the three were on the floor until Bynum feathered the ref’s hair.
I also didn’t know the Knicks even had four guards – Felton, Toney, Fields (really more of a SF), Bully (ditto) – along with Chandler? Couldn’t have been.
Then again, I was watching this game through an electron microscope so everyone looked HUGE anyway.

1st post
been reading this site for a few weeks & luvn it; i check it a couple times a day on average for posts.
i drop DWTDD’s ((i say it as “d dub t dubaD” which usually gets a mini-dialog goin)) ; i think that with all of the dueces, corner poops & dumps down low in basketball that it should be rated nc-17; i miss gallo & am absolutely sure he will be an allstar 2-3 seasons from now, max, if even only relatively healthy; AND last but not least, i feel that melo is great but would rather do smarter need-based trades, if any, b/c our youngins, like popeyes, are the shiz-nit… plus believe it or not moz/jr/rautins are minimally decent lookin add-ons in trade scenarios to the right teams & no way they give up the whole wing-triumvirate (DG/WC/LF) in any trade
BUT i gotta say what Truly made me start doing this on a losing effort night ….. in reverse order ….. 3: thankfully missed the 2nd half working; 2: wondering wtf went wrong; 1: you had me at “phoenix downs” (well earlier than that but that wodnt sound as funny)

Welcome. I’d like to call a 9-0 run a human centipede. We need this to happen.
Gallo an All-Star? I guess if David Lee can make it so can Gallo, but it’s going to take a trade or injury to STAT – LeBron – Bosh – Boozer – Garnett – Pierce to make it happen, and if Melo comes here, forget it. I love Gallo as a solid 3rd option, he has a knack for hitting shots and he’s automatic at the free throw line. Gets the other team in trouble, doesn’t slow down the offense, if there’s one guy other than STAT who really gets this system, it’s Gallo.
by superturboultra on Jan 10, 2011 5:20 PM EST up reply actions
I ONLY SEE 2 CHALLENGES...
…there to Gallo being an allstar in ‘13-’14 b/c pierce & garnett will be OLD and bosh wont be a spring chicken & doesnt have the “it” factor or drive of Il(l) Gallo. Boozer is injury prone so that one could take care of itself, so could be amare in 3 yrs, again. And for a rough n tumble dude like amare his game could kobe-fy a little bit starting that year, is it truly Inconcievable to think with STATs bit-o-diminish & Gallos rapid 5-tool improvement he cant post better stats & be better on D at that career stage? Then we got The 3 Big Egos leader: the most fouled person in the nba, not far fet\ched to see him losing half or more of 3 seasons out of a 15 yr career & that could be a year (otherwise he is a lock).
ill will may be better than we all think… still…. even to those that have been paying attention… having the annoying ellipsis helped prove…anything?!? dwtdd

Brutal game
High point for me was the Landry put-back stuff early and then Clyde dusting off his occassional Judas Priest reference, saying someone was “hell bent for leather”. That’s just fantastic.
Oh Well
Now D’Antoni can go back to having Turiaf starting at center against Portland.
Read also that D.Walsh is waking up to the idea of getting F/A M.Gasol after the season. Wow! There is really hope now.

Well, after poking around I guess it's vaguely speculated in the Post
But I agree with Cheers, what about now?
Anyway, this game was really frustrating because up until about 9 mins left in this game, we had a real shot. It just seemed we never settled down and executed well. But considering how bad a night we had, to be that close was encouraging and a small victory. Our passing was not good nor our execution, which leads us to guys forcing shots and coming up empty on layups. But, although it was a blowout on the scoreboard, it didn’t look like a blowout. Maybe we got a little too comfy after drilling Phoenix, but tomorrow’s game against Portland is to me a great measuring stick, more so than this game.
The Lakers are a really good team at taking you out of your game and they did that. Portland has a very good defense also, decent bigs up front, and a good but beatable team. I’m looking forward to seeing how we handle them. A win in Portland will say alot about this team in my opinion.
I thought the Shannon Brown 3 to end the 3rd quarter really killed us
We had some momentum, lead down to 8 and that 3 pointer really swung it the other way. Even Felton, who defended him beautifully and forced him to fade away in the corner, threw down his hands in frustration.
Also, in free agency this year we can pick up some nice centers like Marc Gasol, Tyson Chandler or Nene, but I’d like to see Donnie go after one of Sacramento’s bigs like Thompson or Dalembert. Preferably Dalembert because he’s expiring and will give us money to spend this summer
With the caveat that the Melodrama is over, I’d take Dalembert, but I’d rather have Nene.

Well We Wait
We are built to win a game against good teams. We are not built to win playoff series yet.
Next year if we can get M.Gasol and N.Krisitic as F/A, we may just have some depth at the Backup PF and starting center position to compete and win a series. O.J.Mayo would be nice in a trade now for this year. I am telling you this guy good be a hell of player at the two in this B.S. system.
I doubt the Thunder let Krstic walk,
he is a good big and they use him a lot there. You just want a Serb on the team eh?
Donnie's bout to beat the NBA game like he got a cheat code
we had one a bust who didn't want to prove anything last year
Victory goes to the courageous!!
Nah man
Krstic isn’t a bust, he was drafted in the late first round and tore his ACL on the Nets…now he’s an important piece to the Thunder; gives them 20 min of solid D and some reboudning. I wouldn’t mind getting him on the Knicks as a FA for like 4-5 mil, but I don’t think the Thunder would want to let him go either.
Donnie's bout to beat the NBA game like he got a cheat code
i was talking about another serb we had i think we had a few and most were busts

2012 Bench Looking Good
PF/Kristic C/Turiaf SF/Williams PG/Douglas SG/Fields
Teams win NBA Championships with a solid bench.
This works in my eyes.
The whole game seemed like a bit of coaching arrogance by MDA
First off, don’t get me wrong – I love what MDA has done with the Knicks this year, so I don’t have an axe to grind. But last night seemed like one of those times where he made a decision (to go small) and stuck with it even when it was clear it wasn’t working. It was wonderful to watch for the first 5 minutes or so of the game, but once the Lakers made the conscious effort (probably drummed into them by Jackson) to pound it inside and crash the boards, it seemed like MDA was just being stubborn by staying small – Turiaf’s lack of PT in the second half was particularly puzzling.
At one point, I think, when the outcome was still in doubt and when Amare took a breather, the tallest guy on the floor for the Knicks was Shawne Williams. It’s one thing to go small, it’s another to basically concede the rebounding game, and the Knicks got utterly killed on the offensive glass, even after Bynum was tossed. Here’s hoping that the Portland game features a return to sanity and some more Turiaf – I like MDA’s willingness to experiment, but at a certain point in a game, when it’s clear the experiment is failing as it was yesterday, it would be better to see some flexibility.

Well, you said it was an experiment – that means you FINISH the experiment, you don’t abandon it halfway through. As you said, it’s a failure, and hopefully we won’t see it again when dealing with teams with two legit bigs like the Lakers (against Phoenix, on the other hand…). This is not a team that needs to win every game anymore, we can lose some battles but get an advantage in the war. Great strategy by Jackson, too bad we let him know a couple days ahead of time that we were going small…
Now let’s explore why the experiment failed. Without a legit option on the offensive glass, the Lakers were able to collapse on the pick and roll without abandoning their outside shots. There’s a couple solutions – the first is to bring in a legit option on the offensive glass. The second is to set a screen for a cutter on the opposite side who can also rebound when he sees Amare start his move (Landry, Wil, Gallo would all be legit options here) – they either are a threat on the boards, taking a body off Amare, or they’re alone for the rebound, to either dunk it or reset the offense.
by superturboultra on Jan 10, 2011 5:33 PM EST up reply actions
What I’m trying to say is that small-ball was not the problem – we have wings that can rebound. The problem was running the pick and roll with three outside options just waiting for a ball that never came to them.

While it turns out we may not be fit to beat the defending champs on their home floor
the fact that this is cause for disappointment, as opposed to a blindingly obvious foregone conclusion, should be heartening.
I know that’s the flimsiest moral-victory stance, but think about it—that’s some pretty big progress. Yeah, the injury-depleted Knicks lost to the Lakers in Los Angeles but so what. We can take Portland so it’s on to the next one…
Free Randolph.
Wasn't the defense
Guys, Knicks didn’t loss this game due to defense. They did great defensively. It was offense that they struggle. If yo start Turiaf it doesn’t change anything. With that lineup Knicks should’ve able to score. They didn’t.. so they look real bad. As Gian points out, this is a game where they missed Gallo. I don’t care how you feel about Gallo, but he is one option and one player that doesn’t afraid of the momment, with him out there, Knicks could’ve been a little bit better.
That beign said, Amar’e and Felton struggle are due to Lakers defense. I doubt that they’d struggling that badly if they are playing the Suns. Lakers team been together forever, Knicks play togher for 35-36 games.
Now that Melo is to the Nets, it’s time for Knicks to add depth. As good as Knicks right now, they can add more depth.. isn’t that scary? They can have a backup point guard now.
Nice recap and very nice blog . . .
Not sure I get the whole “poop” thing . . . I’ll just assume that’s some meme on this site.

Great recap you did Seth proud!
We played great defense except for one thing, We did not box out. We were not too small, we were not fundamentally sound. How many put backs does Bynum have to get before someone says maybe we should put a body on that guy when the shot goes up! And yes this was a game where Gallo was missed. Jackson clogged the lane shut down the pick and roll and Felton’s driving angles and dared us to beat them from the perimeter. This is why guys like Gallinari are not filler. There are proven shooters in this league and prove it to me shooters in this league. Gallo is proven, the guy was second in the league in 3’s made last year and he is 3rd this year! Extra E and the boys are prove it to me guys. Jackson was willing to concede a few jumpers to Williams, Walker, Fields, and Douglas, because he figured those guys can’t do it all night. Gallo for all his “inconsistency” is a guy who coaches don’t want to dare like that, cause he can get it going and drop 30. If Gallo is playing like crap coaches want to keep him playing like crap. Giving him wide open looks and daring him to hit them is asking for him to pull one of those games out of the moth balls where he hits 5-6 3"s and then when you are running at him ends up at the free throw line 15 times.
Blasted Fanhouse!
But then again that was a few weeks ago. Point still is, jackson would have felt a little more iffy clogging the lane like he did with the italian on the floor!

Rebounding difference
was HUGE. But, if Felton hits his a few more shots, and Amar’e goes like 12-24 instead of 7-24, & walker hits a couple free throws, we are right there at the end of this game with a real shot at winning—despite being outrebounded by 20.
So that’s my silver lining.
Also, i don’t give too much credit to the Lakers defense. Felton missed some very open shots, and stoudemire missed most of (all of?) his normally reliable 15-19 footers.
And Felton had an absolutely dreadful passing game.
Coulda used Gallo

Melo
Cannot understand why Melo wants to play long term with Billups and Rip. They are 35 and 33 years old and they are going to a team that has 10 wins. They don’t make the playoffs even if the trade goes through today. Melo needs to walk into the GM office and tell management that he’s only going to sign the extension with the Knicks! He’d be much better off. Come to a younger team that finally seems to have a future (post Isiah). The Nets will have two players at the end of their careers. Cmom Melo! Think!
win win for melo. happy wife happy life.
there is a ton of money on the table he is not going to walk away from, he will sign the extension. he wants to make his wife (career) happy so he will be going to the nets to be the brooklyn bully.

Melo-Melo
The Knicks should concentrate this year on making a trade for O.J.Mayo along with waiting for July F/A. Then they can address the needs to get them over the top as a true contender next year.
Example:
PF/Stoudemire
SF/Resign Chandler or sign F/A Anthony
C/Truiaf and sign F/A Gasol
SG/Trade for O.J.Mayo (Gallinari or Randolph + 214 #1)
PG/Felton resign him to a extension
Second Unit:
PF/sign F/A N.Kristic
SF/ Williams
C/Mozgov
SG/Fields-Walker
PG/Douglas
Now we have a chance to win a series or two. Let’s Go Knicks!
Wow!

No. It hasn't. We need to remember it's not like Chris Broussard and Friends suddenly have these rock-solid sources they're secretly meeting in parking lots to obtain info from.
They’re leaks from Denver and NJ. How many trades involving a superstar, let alone a trade involving seemingly entire rosters of players, is this public. For months?

A B.S. deal for the Nets. It is said now that Mikhail wants the deal done. Even if means giving away to much and being foolish. Terrible trade for the Nets.

so hello… purple and gold for a day…
Victory goes to the courageous!!

Your a Sissy
Stop the B.S. Italian thing because it is B.S. You shout back like a baby. Stop already and talk basketball if you can. Not putting false words in other peoples statements. Wake up and grow up.
no gallo is a 3 GET IT
and a true junkie sticks to only one team not as many as i can ROOT for and thinks OBJECTIVELY before PLACING ANY BIAS SUCH AS CALLING AN ITALIAN A MAMA"S BOY WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE GUY.
Victory goes to the courageous!!

Victory goes to the courageous!!

Victory goes to the courageous!!

he’s so caught up in his BS that I think a lot of us look forward to when he lays some words down.
I doubt anyone takes him seriously. If they do…lol

in philippines you can say it's mostly laker country
and yes i am a distinct minority ask JVG’s diet coke for details but definitely a lakers stronghold helped a bit by fickle bandwagoners
Victory goes to the courageous!!
People been calling to play more big, but really any one you think the Knicks would have won last night game with either Mosgov or Turiaf starting? Even with the most potent line up Ama’re went for 1-10. I don’t care what type of defense you play, but with the production of Ama’re, Feltona nd Chanlder your top 3 scorers that bad … you are not going to win the game. Knicks have a chance to win had they be able to play up to their standards, and maybe having Gallo … may help them a bit. We all know that when Chandler is off, Gall is on
Hey guys, i hope that you dont take this loss too seriously
After all the lakers have been the champions for the past two years. Commend yourself that you played such relatively great offense against the 3 7ft towers with the only contributing player on your team being 6’10/11. Hopin for an epic showdowwn next time!

aside from what i am experiencing today... nope it's ok actualluyy barring a dude who calls gallo a no talent player..
we are optimistic with what things are happening.

I actually don't feel too bad about this loss
we were in it for a long time and played pretty hard throughout. The Lakers are just physically way too big for us
