We're playing Memphis tomorrow, not Minnesota. The last two Knicks noon games were blowouts to the other side, so go in with those expectations, and you may be pleasantly surprised :grin: Enjoy the new MSG! I love going to games even if the team sucks, one of my favorite live sports. Game just seems faster when you're there. Enjoy!
Wow complete brainfart on my part. Been a long day for this guy, 4 am wake ups all week do a toll :breakdance: I'm really excited. My gf got us tickets the other day for 60 bucks at half court.
The best way for the Knicks to win is to limit Amare and Bargs minutes. Since KMART is hurt and Amare is questionable and the Tyson injury, the Bargs signing still seems unnecessary. We recycled big men easily last year near the end of the season and giving up the pick and shooters for Bargs seemed to have backfired. It stinks, but we need to lower the time played by the guy we just traded for and the 100 million dollar man.
Chris Herring @HerringWSJ 2m Hard to justify your big lineup when you get beat on the boards 56-29 by a Marc Gasol-less Memphis team. How is that lineup helping you?
And it makes the "big" lineup doesn't work rebounding as well as expected because Amare, Bargs, and KMART were never known as good rebounders.
The garden is great. I had an awesome time yesterday even though they lost. Bargnani is a lost cause on defense and shump needs to work on his outside shooting. He had plenty of open threes yesterday. How the hell did Tyson have 1 rebound midway through the 3rd?
Knicks were up by 25 and looked real good and then Melo goes down and all goes to hell. Thank god we win but melo and Felton are both hurt so there's that..
^^ Great to hear you had a good time. Of course the one game I miss, we win. Melo said after the game he wants to play Christmas, but Melo will play through injuries even if he should rest, see last year.
Mike Woodson strategy today, give the ball to JR and hopes he drops 30+ like last year when OKC visited us and we didn't have Melo. Beno is upset according to post game tweets from reporters. Throwing I think Woodson and maybe other players under the bus. Will be interesting going forward. I hope Melo can go this weekend.
Dolan tells coaches/players today in meeting that everyone is safe and there are no changes coming. I don't buy it one bit, but good move
Did that dude just pass it to the ref? :rofl: For a second there were more combined turnovers than points.
Yeah. I see the rationale behind this announcement. I don't believe it for a second either but Dolan probably got it thru his thick skull that the uncertainty was killing the team's karma. Dolan "expecting" a championship run out of this flawed roster didn't help things either. BTW, burn those hideous Orange Unis before it's too late.
that wasn't a flagrant foul. Real soft flagrant. Oh well the Knicks sucked too much to really even get upset about that. Good to see Toure Muray playing well, but I'm sure once our other PGs get healthy Woodson will forget about him. Woodson needs to realize our depth at the guard position is much better than our depth in the front court... Amare is inconsistent and can't play D, Bargs is inconsistent and can't play D, KMART can only play D, and Tyson is the star.
Bargnani has been playing with a hurt neck for the last 10 days and KMART is banged up. Add in JR played 40+ minutes with the flu, Shump has a thigh contusion or something, and MWP's knee. We really are running our team into the ground. Knicks thinking about brining up Jeremy Tyler from the D League and considering either cutting Chris Smith or Cole Aldrich. Not sure why they can't just assign Chris back to D League ad bring up Tyler, never understood that part of the NBA
