All of that is perception, not reality.You didn't answer my question, douchebag.Oh I'm sorry I forgot that Dolanthings need everything spelled out for them.
Why would I criticize Kyrie in his rookie year for shit he just started doing last year after the ASB? Use your head.
If we win this game, I'd rest all the key players and bring back everyone for the last game of the season against the Lakers for some nominal minutes. That should lock up home court.
thanks denver

A .600 team is going to miss the playoffs. Fuck the East.Wow. Suns are up to 7th?
Jesus fkn christ. Fk da east.
I want this team to fail so Jackson can fuck off, sick of his shitBy all reports, he's gone anyway.
And he knows it.
Some big games tonight for the East. Pacers/Heat, Bulls and Raptors continue to battle for that 3rd seed.
wade not playing is starting to get annoying. maybe they are being overly cautious with him, but the dude really should take a significant paycut if this is how it is going to be for the rest of his career

They're just waiting for the new shipment of Court Grip to come in. He'll be back and showing the haters he's better than ever once he has that.
I just found out today that in the '80 FInals where Magic had his infamous game where he played center and had the monster game that he only started at center and took the tip while playing the majority of the game as a guard/forward.
Months later, the Bargnani trade continues to give and give:

Honestly, trading Bargnani for Steve Novak might have been better than getting Lebron.
LOL, seriously? Do you have a source that I can link to?
TRADE BUST BARGNANI A BIG REASON FOR KNICKS AWFUL SEASON
It could end mercifully and shamefully Friday in Toronto. And you could point to the Knicks’ crash beginning with Toronto, too.
The New York Knicks' trade last offseason for Andrea Bargnani is widely considered one of the worst of the past year.
“Getting anything for him was a surprise,’’ a Western Conference executive said. “But you get desperate. The guy has talent, a 7-footer, mobile, his first few years he made shots. But I question his love for the game and mental makeup. I’m surprised the Knicks didn’t do more homework on him.’’
…his team defense and rebounding were poor. He offered no intangibles, and his chemistry with Anthony wasn’t good. Bargnani often declined to take open jumpers, instead barreling out of control to the basket. His 3-point shooting was very disappointing (27.8 percent).
“They got him as a stretch 4, but he hasn’t been a stretch 4 for years,’’ an NBA scout said.

I'm too lazy to do it, but I would love to re-read some Knicks-age reactions of when that trade went down.

Don't worry, I have them all committed to memory.
"He'll be great next to Chandler, his defense won't matter."
"He'll really open up the floor for Melo. And with Melo drawing double teams, he'll be open all day!"
"He's coming from a losing culture, he's never had a real chance."
"Wow, I can't believe we only had to give up Novak. That first rounder won't be that high anyway."
"He's only 2 years away from scoring 20ppg! He'll be an all star here."
"He is Italian. I am an Italian guy from New York. If you ask me, he has no faults."
"Advanced statistics? Net negative on the floor? Below average TS%? I don't know what those things mean. They sound like stuff for wuss franchises that don't have lots of superstars wanting to play for them."
"Raptors took back worse contracts."
"Lackadaisical attitude and conditioning? Makes those around him worse? It was just because Raptor fans were too mean to him."
It was hilarious to see people who trashed the guy before the trade suddenly spouting the same excuses for him that Toronto Bargnani-stans had been for years, until it became glaringly obvious the guy was just a flabby pylon.
Hey, who wants to read Grantland wax rapturous about Terrence Ross?
http://grantland.com/the-triangle/is-terrence-ross-ready-to-make-the-playoff-leap/
Liquefied Euro-step was my favourite Metal Gear boss.
Ross’s shooting form looks like a leisurely snake attack. It’s deceptively fast, and the ball flies from his fingertips. In late January, he made a name for himself scoring 51 points (30 of which came off of 10 3-pointers) against the Los Angeles Clippers. (No article can be written about Ross without mentioning this performance. It was a magic show that fell from the sky.)
This all is wonderful, but not all he’s good for. Ross is a monster in transition, equally lethal spotting up for 3s (44.8 percent on 67 attempts, per Synergy) as he is absorbing contact with a strong finish at the rim — that or slithering past a defender with his liquefied Euro-step.
He already has a wonderful feel for the midrange floater, one of basketball’s trickiest shots. Ross turns the ball into a round teddy bear on those; it hugs the rim before safely plopping through. Happy.
He harnesses his athleticism closing out on shooters, smothering his man and preventing a hard drive or open shot. Sometimes he’ll fly by a pump fake, but even then, his arms somehow manage to get back in the play for a solid contest. It’s exactly how Spider-Man would defend, if Spider-Man were real and played basketball.

Yeah, expected the Suns to make it, didn't expect Memphis would struggle even at this point of the season though.
Safe to say both the Raptors and the Bulls wouldn't even make it to the playoffs in the West with a much tougher schedule. The Bulls have a losing record against the West.

Scientists in China figured out this one weird trick. Now I'm drowning in riches and bitches.

Since Andrea Bargnani tore the ulnar nerve in his left elbow ending his season, the New York Knicks have gone 18-18 — not great, but that would make the playoffs in the East at least. This season the Knicks offense is a whopping 6.5 points per 100 possessions better when Bargnani is out of the game, while the defense remains almost flat (+.2 per 100 without him). When Bargnani is in street clothes the Knicks outscore opponents by +.5 per 100 (close to even, fitting their .500 record without him), with him they are -6.2 per 100.
RT @HerringWSJ Woodson suggests things could've been different this yr had Bargnani stayed healthy. Used the oft-referenced "big piece of the puzzle" line

This is the Bargnani Curse exactly. He kills his team but somehow fools people into thinking he's not. Colangelo should totally friend Woodson on Facebook.
