PrintSo, short of an actual explosion, that was about as eventful as it could have been. In the end, the same ol' troubles and heartbreak. There will be a recap once I calm down.

I lol'd
when Amar’e made that three, and it wasn’t a happy laugh. It was more like a “I need to go to a mental hospital” laugh. No shots for 2 overtimes and the 4th. Just a running three on a stupid drawn up play by D’Antoni, one that we’ve seen before mind you. Disgusting.

Jeffries was 2-3 for 5 points tonight.
Fun Fact: The Knicks have never won a game Jeffries has played in that ended in double-OT.

Not too bad
Didn’t win, but showed a lot of progress before the overtimes

yes i agree
an acceptable loss, one we wouldn’t blink an eye at if we hadn’t lost 5 before it.

sigh…
Tonight’s winners are; every single former Knick.
Gallo had 37 points and 11 rebounds. Mozgov had 16 and 7. Al Harrington had 24 and 11. Hell, even Corey Brewer had 6 and 4. I guess we were tremendously lucky that Wilson Chandler and Felton are no longer on the Nuggets.
Interesting fact: I am very sad.
pretty expected
when does a former Knick, not torch the Knicks. Can’t wait to see what Eddy Curry is cooking up for us!

Who's gonna have a career game against them next?
I’m thinking it won’t even be a starter this time.
Very little ball movement on the whole,
a ton of ISO’s & a bunch of mid range jump shots. Slowly but surely, they’re becoming the Atlanta Hawks. They need a pass point PG like an Andre Miller to steer the offense right now. A point that doesn’t need to shoot much, is a good decision maker & doesn’t turn the ball over often.
And someone has to tell Melo it’s OK to pass the ball. LeBron James loves to pass, & he’s twice the player Melo is.
And if not, I turn around & say forget it.
Haha we aren't the Hawks
The Hawks actually win.

Lebron passes and drive to the hoop and misses clutch shots
Melo isos all game and chucks from 15+ feets and hits clutch shots…
Hey at least melo got 1/3 which is 33%, which also happens to be his fg%
Unfortunately the rest of the team hit 50%
We lost this game the moment Shump and Chandler left the floor IMO
I was following play by play on nba.com at work
i saw they took those two out and yelled “Noooo what are you doing”
the ball was moving very good in first half and when number 7 was out
you would think after sitting out and seeing how the shots started falling and they build a big lead, he could come in and continue but he instead screws everything up again. I guess can’t expect adjustment or much intelligence out of someone who has low IQ. It’s unfortunate that players like that make it to the NBA. He should be on the streets playing 1 on 5.
honestly
with all the things, I don’t know why he got so much shit for that.
I don’t know a single player that is or should be ever happy with losing.

can someone explain to me why whrn Tyson fouled out that JORTS wasnt put in??
we started getting killed on the boards! the Nyuggets started getting o-rebounds like crazy. atleast with JORTS in we couldve got some of those boards, interior D and a viable option on the offensive end. that move is still baffling me. That and the no call when Harrington tripped up Chandler as he was on the floor right before Andre hit that 3 from Carmines on 42nd St.

Yea and somehow, we STILL lost...
Funny how that works, no matter what he always seems to get his regardless od the situation… If anything, I think tonight is a classic and crystal clear example number 1 of him and Stoudemire not being able to coexist. They def need to either have a sit down and figure it out, and like do that yesterday or one of them needs to go. No other way to go bout it
he did not come through. He was the reason why they were even in the game and we lost the lead because of him
he actually made it tougher even if we had won. It would never have even come down to that if he was a better team player but he won’t be.
nice double dose of Clyde mis-pronounciations tonight

This is the result when you switch very frequently and don't communicate and also play lots of iso-ball
Whatever. Some possible (hopeful (ironic?)) silver lining:
The Knicks’ started turning their season around last year after a close loss in Denver. As Seth also pointed out to me, Landry Fields had a great game that night. The Knicks then went on to win 13 of their next 14.
Hopefully a sign of things to come

Remember when Stoudemire played for the Knicks?
Melo took 30 fuckin shots and STAT had less than 10. D’Antoni needs to go. Did both D’Antoni and Melo forget that STAT exists?
Yeah
Melo is obviously executing this all exactly as D’Antoni drew it up.

if you thought we were going all the way this year, you were fooling yourself anyway. we’re still a year away. and i have no doubt we will get better, the team cannot continue to shoot so poorly. the buckets will start dropping. have patience my man.

That and the problem that TD is a fail machine at PG and Shump apparently cramped out
He becomes the best facilitator on the floor unfortunately. I think even tho this team may’ve been tired they could’ve rotated more….
Melo’s biggest prob at the ends there is how looooooooong he holds the ball and not even looking to see where fellas are on the floor cuz his head is down and when he looks up there’s 3 guys crowding him. He was actually excellent when he penetrated and kicked out. There just wasn’t enuff of it. He never can facilitate the other side of the floor unless it’s a long cross court pass cuz he’s glued to the right side and is never in position to give it to Amar’e
ya, sup with those cross court passes anyways?!?

Watching D'Anotnin's Press Conferences
makes me feel like I’m reading 1984.
“Our ball movement was good tonight.”
""The enemy has always been East Asia."
He’s seriously got to go.
im gonna have to respectfully disagree with you
i like D’antoni’s press conferences. He’s honest and knows how to handle the ny media.
well....
I don’t have tonight’s recorded, but I know I’ve watched many where I feel like I’m watching a different game than he is. I’ll pay closer attention next time and get you some specifics.
i think he realizes that
you cant give soundbytes that can be taken out of context.
ive seen it done a billion times on the backpage of the post and daily news.
being able to talk like that. its an art, really.
I Knew this was wasted season
When the mantra became wait til Barron Davis gets healthy.
How the hell does Stat only get 9 FREAKING SHOTS, WTF COACH NO D?
Seriously, Iman has 2x as many shots as Amare?!?
Although we shot better than Denver, the game was lost here: -8 rebounding, -3 turnovers, -14 in fouls, -22 FT attempts.
Seriously, can we just end the Pringles at te end of this season?
At the end of the day, at least we’re not the Celtics.

looks stiff to me. Any chance his back is still bothering him? I feel like he can’t bend over for loose balls anymore.
Or maybe I’m just GRASPING AT STRAWS/LOSING MY MIND!?
I was thinking the same thing
the guy just doesnt look like he is moving right/ well
by titansfan3q7 on Jan 22, 2012 2:20 AM EST up reply actions
No, you're right
I noticed it too. I went back and watched some clips from last year and hes def moving differently. I think its the extra 20 lbs. of muscle. I wonder if he could get rid of any of the weight he put on now..
So how good would we be
If instead of chasing the ‘stars’ of the NBA, we built an actual team?
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
Building > Assembling
because to me, building involves developing something, and assembling (which is what we’ve done) is just throwing something together.
We have assembled, but it should be a better core
the next step is to build. Knicks fans have had to sit through and watch shit the past 10 years, you’d think they could be patient a little longer now that we have this much talent
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
Dude you cwaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzyy.
Hey – we’ve sucked 10 years. Please sir, I’d like some more….weren’t superstars=champs?! You mean somebody lied to me? In all honesty talent means shit when a team is poorly constructed because now guys have to do what they’ve NEVER been told to do before: OK guys, you’re gonna have to sacrifice a part of your game for the good of the team! After they’ve been told for years how wonderful their game is. Damn skippy its gonna take time…but after 10 years? OK You’re dating a hot chick. She smokes all the honeys in the babiverse and wears enuff clothes to keep you wondering but bears enuff skin to make you want to chew something. Every year you hear “One more year and all this could be yours” You waiting….?
riiiiiiight
that made any sense
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
to elaborate
it’s more like you been dating an ugly chick who sucks in the sack for 10 years, when all of a sudden a former escort comes along who is hotter than any chick you seen in a long time, especially compared to the ugly girl. She tells you that she is done with that life that made her lots of money, and now she wants only to be with you, and will do crazier things for you than you can imagine, but first you need to get to know her, wine and dine her while she gets over all her VD’s, and lets her body recover to its ‘tightest’ form
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
We both suck at this :)
Honestly having patience would be the wise healthy thing to do, but I’ve learned through the years that patience means management has no clue and will probably blow this shit up anyway
We'd be about as good as Denver is now.
