Cavaliers 91, Knicks 81: "Hello, old friend."

I’m watching Blazers-Warriors and it feels like a video game.

I like the amount of national TV they’re getting, and it’s a better time for me usually bc west coast games are later

The rap is usually that he can’t do anything other than shoot, although it seems to me like he’d still serve a purpose. It might just be that without a point guard, there aren’t good looks available. Even a bomb-ass shooter is gonna struggle without anybody creating for him.

Melo was actually setting up open 3’s for TD and the dude just can’t make shit in right now. We already have a gimped out Melo on the court, why use have a crappy shooter with him? So we can score even less points? Melo right now can’t hit any shot aside from a lay up with his hand all messed up.

Because an injured melo is still the second/third best player on the team. (depending if anyone else shows up)

He should have sat out a few games and especially against the weaker teams but he won’t do it. I guess it’s a pride thing where he shows how loyal he is and how hard of worker he is but sometimes one has to swallow arrogance. wade hasn’t played in like 6 games and the team is not rushing to bring him back. Dirk is sitting out so he can rest and so is vince carter but this dude won’t listen. It could hurt him in the long run if he doesn’t let his body heal right.

Well that’s largely on the coach to tell him to sit. Most player don’t like not playing.

and will only get uglier.

I was saying this exact thing 4 weeks ago after the GS defeat, and 99% of the people here accused me of being histerical and negative, that this team needs time etc etc.. No my friend, this team with bellow mediocre players like Fields, Douglas, Jeffries, Walker, Balkman… and done players like Bibby is not going anywhere, with “big 3” that is actualy a Chinese replica of genuine BIG 3 ( offensively handicaped center that can’t hit a 5ft jumper, PF that is long past his prime due to serious knee problems and SG that plays for himself only). So once again, if there is slightest chance that D12 trade can happen, GET HIM!!! He is Amar’e and Chandler in 1 player, and given the court facts that we see, even better then those 2 together. Im sorry for Amar’e, i realy like him, but im Knicks fan and i want whats best for my team.

People keep lumping walker in with Bibby, TD, Balk etc. Walked plays pretty good D and even if his shot isn’t falling he really helps out on the glass.

Its abundantly clear that when we shoot even moderately well, we blow bad teams out and can beat good teams. Melo and Amare really need some help from the role players… if they shoot 10-30% from 3 we are gonna lose because they are usually open shots. As bad as amare and melo have been recently, they didn’t take many of those 17 wasted possessions that resulted in bricked 3s. There may need to be some roster cuts soon, cause we can’t survive much longer with Bibs, TD and jeffries jacking up 3s. We gotta creep closer to 35% out there as a team and we will be successful because it’ll create the necessary space for the offense. I’m sure there are a few guys out there in the D league that can hit open 3s, and we could start the transition by playing Novak with the starters to spread the floor. Just run a zone and his supposed awful D (which I thinkis vastly over-stated, he isn’t that bad, he is just an awful rebounded and kinda soft) can be somewhat mitigated by his length out on the perimeter of the zone.

For me, I might answer with a ‘four letter word’ that actually has five letters: Dolan.
The Knicks organization doesn’t accurately represent what New York is to me. The competition franchise (all the way) downtown might have little trouble getting a fan base. Then again, the Knicks could make us all dislike basketball so much that there’s no market for it at all. You think that’s the plan?

In 1998-9, another season without much of a camp or preseason, the Knicks made similar adjustments to the roster. Starks was out, Spree was in. The supporting cast was mostly no-names or bench players. And a key player, Camby, didn’t see any court action until well into the season.

Van Gundy, a coach known for being only able to play one way, was rumored to be fired at the end of the season, because he “just couldn’t adjust” despite signs all season long that the team just needed time.

Just sayin’

Byron just fucking bitchslapped the Knicks! Goddamn! Ouch.

we should trade dantoni for byron scott!

A person or persons with an immature outlook on things always seem to shape up at least a little when ‘oh shit, someone noticed.’
Well, the ‘someones’ are piling up around the league and throughout the media. And luckily for us, they’re getting vocal

Since our veterans are apparently worthless in Scott’s opinion, then we really are royally screwed!

then maybe they can actually get lucky for once, make the lottery and have the #1 pick. Of course this is the first draft in a few years with more potentially great tall people instead of PGs, so we’d be fucked anyway. Tho Andre Drummond or Anthony Davis aren’t bad.

but what exactly can he do when he come back? He is 32, injured and won’t be able to play 40 minutes. Let’s say he comes back early February, he will still not be able to play heavy minutes at first and he still can’t even after as he is no longer young. Unless we getting Baron from 5 years ago and can play him 48 minutes, nothing will happen. This season is done already as the ‘superstars" don’t even care. They both busy making money off the court and enjoying the bright lights. There is no reason this team should be 7 and 11 or I should say 7-13 after Saturday. If we had won some of those games that we were supposed to, then there would still be hope but it’s over now. The stars are not leaders and don’t even care. They have showed their real sides now and especially number 7. I wouldn’t blame Amare too much but then I remember that he wanted the trade so he is guilty as well.

and true about Seth

i have not seen any care from the two “superstars” and no leadership as they both busy making money off the court and enjoying NYC.

BRING OUT THE WHIPS!!!
