PrintNew York Knicks at Miami Heat, Jan 27, 2012 8:00 PM EST
Evening, cheeseworms! It'll be the Knicks and Heat tonight in Mee-ah-mee. Carmelo Anthony, as you may have heard, will take the night off to lick his wounds (he actually licks them), which seems like a wise thing for him to do. And now all the pressure's gone! If the Knicks lose, they have a built-in excuse. If they win, it'll be the greatest thing ever! Excellent!
Oh, and Dwyane Wade's playing, so the Heat are more or less at full strength. Superb!
Oh, and here's some interesting news just twat by Jonah Ballow: The Knicks will start a backcourt of Toney Douglas and Iman Shumpert, with Landry Fields moving up to the small forward spot to match up with LeBron James. That should go really well!
Comment here if you're watching along, check out Peninsula Is Mightier for things about the Heat, and remember not to post photos, .gifs, illegal streams, or Pig Latin love ballads in the thread.

No, your wrong.
Bosh will have 50, Lebron only gets 20 with a triple double and several blocks. Your should also watch, cause basketball is fun to watch.
A void? I see no void!
Over
But they will be all by the 3rd q and then he will go silent.

If the Knicks do win
Chances Melo is run out of town will greatly increase.

I'm kind of torn about the starting decision.
I’ve always said Landry is more of a SF and Shumpert will probably end up being a SG… that being said, I can’t stress enough, Douglas isn’t a PG. I hope Balkman gets a lot of run tonight, even though he’ll most likely get in a foul trouble covering LeBron… I just like him covering him over Walker or Landry.
This game has . . .
Total clusterfuck written all over it.
There are so many possibilities on how this thing is gonna turn out. Most of these are quite bad possibilities of course.
They range from Knicks blowing out the Miami Heat by 15 points, all the way to the Heat absolutely pulverizing and embarrassing the Knicks and the Heat win by 50 points.
In that scenario, the end of the Heat bench plays the entire 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters. Of course, fat ass Curry would have a career high 42 points, as a little cherry on top of that nightmare sundae. Barf !

Knicks will start Iman Shumpert and Toney Douglas. So that’s what, 60 shots?
That would be funny except for that fact that it is a very good possibility.

Why?
Landry has been playing well lately, and arguably better than either Shump or DWTDD over the last 3–4 games.

he was league average in his first full season
Then a bit better in just his second season when only 22. Most players break out in their third year, so it shouldn’t be surprising that he’s approaching all-star range.
The signs were all there last year
He WASN’T just a shooter last year. He scored well when his shot wasn’t falling because he was one of the very best in the entire league at getting to the line. People who didn’t notice weren’t paying attention.
It feels like when you break up with a girl . . .
But then you start getting really horny and you start to regret getting rid of her. That is disturbingly how I feel about Gallo. Yes I know I need help, I am a Knicks fan for Christ’s sake so back off!

Welp
Tony Delk owns the all-time worst season TS% (.452 in ’98) for a player with a 25+ usage rate. Toney Douglas right now? .401.
Translation: if Toney Douglas keeps this up, he’ll crush the worst shooting display in NBA history by a volume shooter.

I mean, it's quite unlikely that he doesn't start shooting better, if only by accident
but still, that’s quite a comment on just how bad he’s been.
Most Likely to Have a Career Game Tracker
Ugh, tonight does not promising.
I’ll discount Wade, Bosh, Lebron because a) duh and b) I don’t like to pick opposing star players.
So, lets say… Norris Cole will drop like 20 on the Knicks solely on open 3s and back door cuts.
Interesting fact: Phosphoric acid can be esterified.

I don't think he ever has butterflies
It’s very rare that guys can come in totally cold off the bench late in a game and start knocking down 3s within seconds.
Toney Douglas has the worst PER in the league among qualified PG’s

it's not good ball movement though. it's just passing it around the perimeter.
they look like a college team.
A lot of missed dunks
But we are hitting threes… Strange…
The Knicks are setting more picks on individual plays in this quarter
than they do in entire games sometimes
This game is weird... These are forced shots that are going in.
Not really ball movement more like bad hot photo.
OK, I love Melo but . . .
The only two times our offense has clicked has been the Bobcat game and this game. Bobcat game, Melo hardly shot, this game, he isn’t playing. I am sure it’s a coincidence.

Important thing to take from 1st half
Our offense really opens up when our shots are going in. Our shots go in when we pass the ball around and really swing it. We pass the ball around and swing it a lot when Melo isn’t in the game.
The are shooting .357...Only thing thats keeping them in the game is 3 point shooting
When Melo was playing they were still getting opens 3’s but missing them. Now they are hitting them. I honestly has nothing to do with melo that they are still in the game
I saw Dantoni's clipboard and it said . . .
Make lots of 3’s = win game
Miss lots of 3’s = fired coach
Any questions? Go get em boys!!
by TheKnicksAreBack on Jan 27, 2012 9:32 PM EST up reply actions
Yes but my theory on why they're going in
Is because all of the three point shots are in flow, and after 3-5 different guys have touched the ball. It’s a lot more difficult to hit a shot after standing around for an entire possession in a corner without touching the ball.
because they don't know what to do on offense...
but without Melo on the court they DO know they must pass it around. You see this ecxact same “phenomenon” in pickup basketball games. Your teamed with guys, you don’t know what exactly to do. If you pass it around though, everyone will feel more comfortable. Eventually, the star needs to make shots. Someone needs to explain this concept to Melo.
Again, this is something every good PG knows. Watch a Chris Paul game and watch how he controls everything, gets EVERYONE involved (even when they’re missing shots), let’s everyone create shots, etc. In the 4th quarter, he looks for his own shot; PLUS his role players make those wide open threes because they’ve been feeling the ball in their hands the entire game. It’s completely mental part of the game, but it’s sooo important.
? guys are still standing in their spot
waiting to catch the ball and score
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
but they're catching and shooting
rather than dribbling a couple times aimlessly then putting up a contested 25 footer

27 games
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
it's something
He shot pretty well in 61 games last season, but he’s the kind of guy who shoots better when he shoots more, and deserves more shots.
He has loads of offensive talent
but that’s negated in part by his poor decisions and lapses in concentration, which make it difficult to play him big minutes. You have to kind of hope you get lightning in a bottle with him.
Guys like him tend to be tentative and out of control in limited minutes
He does well in extended minutes. Anthony Randolph is another guy like that.
No, I mean
Separated for games in which he plays more and less than 20 minutes a game, something like that. Probably would take some work.
you can check splits for starter/bench
But he pretty much always played over 20 minutes then, and never does now. so the numbers would be similar.

Funny how many heat fans are in the building...because it used to be a 60-40 split every time the knicks came to town
It was not like this in the 90’s. I should know…Bandwaggon hoppers…

I was gonna ask the same thing
Novak got time. What about the Lin tho?
by Flying_Saucer on Jan 27, 2012 10:19 PM EST up reply actions
I like Lin but
he’s got a lot of learning to do, and I’d rather not see too many of his learning moments against the Heat
In my opinion
it would be a lot uglier with Lin out there. Let’s not forget that even when Shump is struggling, his D is a plus.
Lin could be no worse than Bibby
at best he could penetrate and dish
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
I'm not sure about that
He can penetrate for sure, but after that he’s not always sure what to do. He turns it over on over a quarter of his possessions.
SSS, no?
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
Sure, but
what else is there to go on? And don’t your eyes tell you the same thing when you watch him? I love the way he can penetrate, but a lot of the time he’s out of control.
only seen him for like 10 minutes
and with scrubs out there
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
Yeah, but it's the same story every time he's been out there
and your teammates shouldn’t have a big impact on whether or not you yourself are in control.
I’m not anti-Lin, I just think he’s got a long way to go.
I am not saying Lin is the answer
but he is never going to get there unless given chances, and he has just as much right to be given chances as any of our other healthy PGs right now
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
I dunno
I’d rather see him in the D-League for a while. I think he needs more reps than he’s going to get for the Knicks right now. I think he could be useful in 3-4 mpg for the Knicks, but I’m not sure that’s really best for him. More than that and I think he’d really be exposed.
that would be fine by me too
just get him out there. Still, nobody has played pg that is really good, while he is here, give him a shot.
‘All I am sayiiiiiing, is give Lin a shot!’
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
Weird that Lin hasn't played
You can’t be worse than Shumpert right now. Also, Jeffries stunk as usual. D’Antoni is an idiot.
Man, is the Shumpster gonna shoot us in the foot?

I remember years ago they had Jamal Crawford on the entrance wall to MSG
And under his name it said Closer
Rather see Davis here than Melo
But I admit he’s a go to in crunch time.
by I know smart people on Jan 27, 2012 10:23 PM EST up reply actions
I can't believe I forgot Felton
but honestly he sucks. This is why I know Baron Davis will be awesome. D’Antoni’s system made Felton look like an All-Star and Chris Duhon look like a nice PG. Imagine what happens when you put an all-star PG in the system.
MVP
Randolph was for Brewer
who was waived. Brewer would also be good on the Knicks. He could be the starting SG.
maybe 5 years ago
He’s improved his shooting and he’s better than Fields and Shumpert. Those guys aren’t ready this year.
Oh they are
they’re just being asked to do too much for this Knicks team. Or do you actually believe Brewer would truly do a better job for the Knicks, being asked to be a starting SG, run pick-and-rolls, defend the other team’s best player, and be a great passer. This is Corey Brewer?
because that's what whoever the starting SG is for us is being asked to do
which is what you said Brewer can be for us: the starting SG

Why
Does D’antoni continue to play Toney Douglas at point guard? God he sucks at it.

it couldn't hurt to try these people with regulars
we already down by 9
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
told you
if its shump or toney, we have the worst starting PG in the league. Too bad, because they are pretty good 2-guards.
"Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect."
true...
damn why can’t we have at least one competent guard
"Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect."
Shump maybe might be a backup PG one day
Toney, never. Lin, maybe. Bibby, slow but he has a clue. Why is this so hard?

In all honesty
I don’t think the knick are taking better shots than they normally do…the 3’s were just falling early today
this!!
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
it has nothing to do with no melo
healthy melo and 3’s falling like this and we are winning

Worst gaurd play in the league -- easily
Wow… horrendous D-League gaurd play. Douglas literally tripped over the half court line (watch the tape). Our PGs and SGs (minus Walker… lights out!) coughed up so many balls.
I watched so many cutters gone unnoticed… we need a real point gaurd who can anticipate those precious milliseconds when a slasher is actually open.

I'm surprised people are so upset
Granted, we have not played particularly well tonight, but we’re also only down by 7 to the Heat without Melo. Mixed in between the (plentiful) highlight reel plays, the Knicks have played some excellent defense.
11-40 from within the arc is upsetting
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
I dont think anyone is upset...
just frustrated to watch another game lost because our guards are horrible
agreed. Our guards play like they are in the Y.
Don’t pass to cutters or set up people for good shots. Chandler never looks for the ball because he knows he’s not getting it and when they do pass it he’s not even there any more..
and as I type this They pass to him, but only because the shot wasn’t there. Jump passes, BAD IDEA, except in certain video games…
