Fuck that roster. Such a SHAMEFUL way to lose. No grit. That is exactly the opposite of why I liked the Knicks in the 1990s. Hate their present-day culture.
By PSYCH! Go To PostLLMAO wtf was grant doing?he is fucking horrible
or fisher is ruining him
impossible to tell
By The Frankman Go To PostSomeone get Carmelo some help. Or give the Knicks bench some egg juice. That's good for hangovers right?
EDIT: The whole point was supposed to be "Carmelo doesn't have to dominate the ball and score 30 for the Knicks to win". That ending now already?
Hasn't it though? They've won plenty of games with Melo not really being Melo on the scoring side. But with THIS talent, you still need Melo to score 30 to have any hope of a winning record.
If you build a contender in the next year or two though, you could live with Melo at 25 a game.

By PSYCH! Go To PostKnciks next two are vs Atlanta, yikes.Dude, it's okay, they get a break after, with the Spurs! But no, I hear reilo was wrong to point out that the Knicks' calendar would be getting worse!
And WHY THE FUCK are we talking about Melo at 25 a game? 25 a game on 45% was a worst case scenario just a little while ago, now he's under 22 at a 42 clip with all the freedom he wants!
By Gabyskra Go To PostWho the fuck thought that, looking at the roster? You were thinking Afflalo was Ginobili or what?If you thought Carmelo was going to score 25-30 a game for the Knicks to win coming off surgery no less... you were fooled. Knicks have to get contributions from a lot of guys and get hustle points to win. Let's see:
after Carmelo' 8/18 for 20/7/3 and Calderon going 7/9 for 18/4/4/1:
KP - 4/14, 9 pts., 9 rebs - chuck so hard
Afflalo - 2/9, 4 pts - barf
Galloway/Thomas/Williams - combined 5/15 for 20 points
Those are pretty much the guys you look for to score points. If they start the game drunk AND get outhustled Carmelo can score 50 it won't matter.

Knicks fans have been raging for years for Carmelo to chuck less trust his teammates and the last 10 or so games he seems to be passing more out of the post... and now he should look to score more? Fuck that.
Afflalo been lookin' like a bust lately, which is sad. He and Rolo should be eating in the east and instead I'm left wondering what happened to the dudes who were on the Blazers. Then again maybe Knicks just ain't for them.

LOL! You posted a shit-ton of photos and videos of him working out this summer, saying he looked fit like you were thirsting over a gym bunny
You're talking about yourself, pal
By DY_nasty Go To PostLOL toronto has NYK's pick. Totally forgot who had it

He and Rolo should be eating in the east and instead I'm left wondering what happened to the dudes who were on the Blazers. Then again maybe Knicks just ain't for them.With Afflalo it's simple: when he looks to move the ball around he's usually ok. But gawd damn he black holes that shit so many times where he decides he's taking to shot no matter what, it's killing him. His D has really been inconsistent also, one game he looks great and the next he's a turnstile. I don't if it's learning the O or what (he played 1 preseason game), but he needs to get on track.

Dude - that idea of "superstar has to figure out when to balance taking over a game and getting his teammates involved" doesn't just swing one way. It doesn't mean " just pass more as a general rule". It means "read the game well and give your team what it needs".
And when your team is struggling, it's your job to stop the bleeding and put the team on your back.
By fertygo Go To PostI want bobby and niko as our starting front court already
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=zwgos5a
Melo's playing his best all around game in years, if not ever. But his ability to take over a game on the offensive end has almost completely disappeared. Your team still needs him to put the team on it's back from time to time.
Bosh shooting 41% from three after tonight.
55% over his last 5.
45% in December.
wonder if he can keep it up

By knux-future Go To Postwait the Knicks gave up a 1st to get Bargs?its a trade you just have to make
wtf
has there ever been a 7footer more perfect for the triangle? you tell me knux
By DY_nasty Go To Postits a trade you just have to makeThat deal was before Jackson. But indeed, that's the kind of shit people said when the triangle was implemented.
has there ever been a 7footer more perfect for the triangle? you tell me knux
Now, the perfect triangle PG is definitely Calderon whom Jackson did bring!
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthttp://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=zwgos5awhy the fuck we must stuck with that K-Mart contract
nopeeeeeee
By 13MillionDollarMan Go To PostSerious question, NBA was all complaining about games going too long and that's why players had to hustle out of timeouts better but why not just call less shit and have less FTs ffs.IIRC, there have been fewer fouls and FTs in recent years than at anytime since the merger.
By Kibner Go To PostIIRC, there have been fewer fouls and FTs in recent years than at anytime since the merger.I have no clue about this tbh but it's weird when you have them bitching out teams for not coming back from the few TOs they have super quick when actual delays are more likely to come from FTs and reviews.
