Knicks is back up there
 
But back to Marbury we NEED to let the offense go through him and have him utilize his special talents.
i agree.

as long as zach is hitting his shots, this is a good team. if he is going to be a black hole and throw up bricks, this team will be terrible.

my only complaint for the game is the lack of rebounding down the stretch. other than that, if we play like this every night, every game is winnable.

what the hell, milsap was looking like hakeem tonight. better defense from our bigs is a must.
 
Good win for the Knicks tonight.

However, I want to see his team come out with some fire in Boston tomorrow. They better be up for this game...even if they lose I want to see a good effort.The Knicks have some very winnable home games coming up and now is the time to make their move.

Oh BTW...to all my dudes who were unhappy like myself with the organizaion last week....are yall off the Fire Isiah bandwagon?!
 
the hate for curry is still deep and definitely unwarranted in this game. he had the biggest defensive play of the game. yea his numbers were way down and heonly had 5 boards. but remember that he was guarding okur the whole game who lives out by the 3pt line. and lets take a look at okur's stat line. 3-11, 1-6from 3...looks like good defense to me. curry finally did the things that ppl have been begging him to do and you guys still hate on him
 
^same thing i was thinking

also, zach only looks for his own shots...he plays for stats, not for wins...even tho we did win, thats what i get from his game.

marbury had some bad turnovers too, he should NOT have passed the ball on several occasions, dude was getting to the rim with ease.

balkman hit a set jumpshot tho, i was hyped at the game.

people are still upset because they don't believe that he will play like this every night. last night was the first time i can remember himtaking control of the paint and swatting shots. hopefully he can keep it up.

balkmans free throws look good. if his jumpshot looks the same as his free throws, he'll be good shooter.

i think zach plays to win, i just think that he is selfish. i don't think he trusts anyone on the team yet, so he tries to do everything by himself.
 
zach is a very selfish player. EVERY time i tune in to watch a knick game i see him arguing for the ball. i remember there was a time that he was begging davidlee to pass him the ball, but david didnt want to give him the rock cause zach would turn it over so much. definitely not feeling his attitude and it may harmthe team down the stretch. he need to play for the team and not just himself

First of all my man, you are way too focused on the stats, sure it may look like Curry did a good job on the outside on Okur, but really if you watched Okurmissed A LOT of easy 3s.

Other than that, and i knew it would happen yalls are going too crazy about the only defensive play that he made all game. He did a great job there, whichpains me because i see he can be a good defender if he actually moves his fat$+$* like on that block but he had only 5 boards and a pathetic defensive game allnight. He ccant guard the pick and roll 1st of all. They was killing us with that with Deron, and Boozer all night. And he actually plays 0 help defense. Thatis what i was looking for all night from him and other than the block he did not even take one step to help out on D even once. When i saw the replays on somei nearly cried. These little guards would just go to the lane, and this bum would meerly stare at them. He is the softest and least determined defender i haveever seen. While a guy like Channing Frye was soft he was at least determined. Curry has the skill he is just so fcking lazy and soft. Next game watch closeron his help D, because this dude literally will NEVER step in when even a little %%%%%%% guard drives on us. That is why we are so goddamn easy to score oninside and why he has to go and Lee has to start. We cant win that much with him being THAT soft on D. We need a defennsive center to compliment the offensedown low with Randolph and pwremeter with Marbury and Crawford. CURRY IS THE LAZIEST +$%+ I HAVE EVER WITNESSED.

But see my post after the Denver game the one time i EVER seen him play good D, i will be right on the Curry bandwagon. But unlike a lot of yall i am neverimpressed with his 20+ point games or even that 1 nice bloc. i look at the little things, and this dude Curry dont do %#++. So to answer your questtionTypeRPino i dont insult curry for no reason, i root for him to do well. But once again he contributed 0 last game where i want him to contribute. Except forthe one nice play he made.
 
Eddiehouse5 hit me up and I'll scoop one up for you. You couldn't imagine all the comments I get when I wear that shirt. Imagine the whole Gardenshowing up to a game wearing that shirt!!!!
 
The Knicks have a 0 % chance of winning this game, don't get too excited for no reason.

Celtics just straight dominate at home, I would be surprised if the Knicks lose by less than 15 points.

With that said, Ray Allen aka MVP every year along with Rip, will drop 22, 5, and 5.

Damn Mez why so down on the Knicks bro. I am gonna expect good effort for every game the Knicks can win vs any team if they play *!%%!%* hard, but they canalso lose to nearly any team. I think we could pull it off. it will be tough but if we give guys like Lee more PT we can out tough them in a dogfight. Justlike we did in the preseason. Yes it was just preseason, but if any of yalls saw the game this was playoff atmosphere and the starters playd reg seasonminutes. It will be tough to win. But we can pull it off.

As for your Ray... Put ma boi Stephon on him. He is great at ball denial on shooters when he hustles on D like he has been. Just see his performance on Raylast year, where he put the lock down and held him to 9 points.

We need to let the guards un the offense, because defensively their guards are wack. Rondo is iight at D but hes still young and Allen cant guard Crawford ifhes on cause hes mad sof on D. I like Q/Balkman/Jeffries on Pierce. all very good defenders, but we will need to give Balkman/Jeffries alot of PT cause thereour best defenders. Just see how Balkman shut down Melo, who is bigger and a better scorer than Pierce.

My #1 concern is KG. Curry and Z wont get it done on KG. Z Bo can guard KG well. He played vs him alot in the pacific northwest in years past and always showsup vs him, he also showws he knows how to guard him. In the preseason game he had like 5 steals and forced KG to 6 TOs and he fouled out i think. Somethinglike that. He also held him to 17 points. Our other guy needs to be Lee. We need a guy who will get down the court fast, is athletic and strong enough to guardKG. And not only that but has the will/determination/toughness to guard him as well and we all know Lee has that. Also Jeffries could do damage on him as well.Although he is kinda weak. He is the same size as KG and VERY athletic. And KG isnt that built either.

I want a W. I want one bad this game. show them we forreal and turn some heads. i want Steph to play well as well. In the spotlight to turn some haters around.And i think that is more than possible and if we play properly it is possible to win as well. But i AT LEAST want a tough effort and i want us to fight likedogs. NOT GIVEUP!!!!
 
Games like this, I dont know what to expect. The way these dudes approach games is ridiculous, I'll just sit back and expect the worst (as Mez already did)
