I have friend of mine who is a Lakers fan. He know I'm a mod on the Knicks board and was wondering since I do alot of "ranting", I should make a thread about it.

I told him I would, and here it is.

My rant is about Al Harrington. he is a nice guy. I like him as a player, but come one guy.

How do you get around 30 mpg on a team, then think the coach doesn't like you.

Al was not in the doghouse. Ask Nate Robinson where D'antoni's doghouse is.

Bone headed plays normall get you shot to the bench, Mr. "Hang off the Rim and make your team lose" guy.

Fact is Al is a chucker. Otherwise called a scorer who can't shoot. Pitiful defender, not a shotblocker.

He can score in bunches, and miss them too.

And yeah, Al knew LeBron wasn't coming to New York.

Everyone knew after the fact.

Why not say it like Larry Hughes did, beforehand.

D'antoni loves guys who can shoot. Al can't shoot with anything close to efficiency.

It amazes me that guys who know they are borderline role-players always have something to say.

Harrington is a nice guy though. Just not a player to be count on for wins. Denver will see it soon.

Lee wanted to stay in New York also. Guess D' didn't like him either.

That's my rant for right now. I encourage everyone if you have a Knicks-related rant.....drop it in here, and have fun with it.

Not quite a rant today.

But I'm becoming a fan of Amar'e.

He sounds as if he really wants to be here and bring the Knicks back to respectability.

According to him and I do agree, it's the NY pressure that makes players shy away.

Right now I'm glad he is here. Hasn't talked unreasonable, and clearly has a chip and something to prove.

All I can say guy is "show the world you can still do it".

As the "Captain" and without Nash.

The Knicks will go where Stat goes.

Be careful on Team USA though. We need you on the Garden floor, and I don't mean sidelined.

Al is a good player just someone you don't count on to carry a team or win. I like Lee, I looked up to this guy, it's ashame to see him leave I'm so mad.

I've never hidden how deeply I dislike Al as a player.

He's a scorer with poor efficiency, he's a total black hole (hardly ever have I seen him pass the ball), and above all his basketball IQ is lower than a monkey's.

If I was a GM or a coach I would never want him in my team.

I am just so happy that he's gone.

He seems like a nice guy though, so I wish him luck.

now that he is the only proven offfensive player on this team, i have a feeling that STAT will be avging close to 30ppg this season...lee wasnt a proven scorer and managed a respectable 20ppg
23 a game last season and thats with all his injuries. he should be 100%
i was hoping he didnt go for the usa qualifiers. wanted him as fresh as possible but i will probably watch each game to see how well he plays. get a nice preview


STATs gonna bring his game and then sum

hes loving all the attention with his face plastered on msg every hour

Rant 1
Eddy Curry
The guy signs a large contract and then doesn't earn it. It's everyone elses fault, right Eddy?
Get a backbone and start accepting personal responsibility.
You're broke all the time, and you have another kid?
Maybe you will get lucky like Doo Doo, and another team will over pay you too.

Rant 2
Al Harrington
I kinda liked the guy, but what is going on in that Alien (TM) looking skull?
Hanging on rims repeatedly, dare I say, were you that dumb?
Your shoes sucked too.
Your going to a playoff team. Good for you. Me thinks we are going to be in the playoffs too Al.

Rant 3
(No) D Lee
I appreciated everything you did for the Knicks, but your unwillingness to try to play any Defense! soured me on you. I'm really not going to miss you. I know it's not all on you, but when guys were attacking the rim you looked like a matador out there. You could of led the league in taking charges, but you were like a gate swinging on hinges whenever someone took it to you. Offense is nice, but me, I like defense more.

Last Rant
Coach D
Hire an assistant coach that preaches defense. The Knicks should bow down and kiss JVG's feet and beg him to come back. All coach's posse didn't work in Phoenix, so it's surely NOT going to work here either. Defense wins championships, ask anybody. If coach will not bend on defense, show him the door after this season. (Since LeFag didn't come anyways).

lmao i loved your rant Earl.best one i've heard in years and re-reading some of the comments i've left i thought i took the cake.Rameek goes off alot too lol. since we're in a ranting mood heres mine

#1 Knicks media and management
STOP BLAMING ISAIAH AND MARBURY FOR EVERYTHING!!!THEYVE BEEN OUTTA TOWN FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.THEY BOTH MADE MISTAKES BUT THEY ARE FAR FROM THE ONLY REASON WHY WE ARE WHERE WE ARE.THAT EXCUSE HAS BEEN USED UP SO MUCH ITS RIDICULOUS.AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT,DONT RIP ZEKE AND THEN TRY TO USE HIS SKILLS BECAUSE YOU CANT MARKET THE BIGGEST CITY IN THE WORLD TO GET THE PLAYER YOU TANKED TWO SEASONS FOR.end of the day zeke blew it with every big man he signed and overpayed alotta guys but he did bring in alot of talent and was excellent on draft night.As for Marbury,he became a terrible teammate but alot of that was due to unprofessionalism on the Knicks management and coaching staffs side.End of the day,ppl rip Marbury and said he wasnt a good guy everywhere he went but until he came here he was avg 20 n 8. Nowadays thats a perennial allstar pg hands down.We could have made things work and I honestly feel we caused his breakdown and demise as much as he did.

#2 Mike D'Antoni
THIS IS THE NBA NOT THE NFL.YOUR NOT AN OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. YOUR A HEAD COACH.YOU HAVE TO PLAY DEFENSE!!!!THERES NO WAY AROUND IT.YOUR NOT THE COLTS OR THE SAINTS OR THE WARNER LED RAMS (GREATEST SHOW ON TURF)....NBA (NO BOYS ALLOWED)!!! GO GET A GUY WHO CAN BLOCK AN F-IN SHOT!!!MAYBE EVEN A PROJECT LIKE THABEET OR VARNADO OR SOMETHING AND SPEND A FEW MINUTES A DAY ON DEFENSE IN PRACTICE FOR ONCE!!! AND STOP WITH THE SMALL FORWARD SIZE GUYS PLAYING CENTER.THE 5 POSITION ISNT NEARLY WHAT IT USED TO BE BUT C'MON.YOU STILL CANT HAVE DAVID LEE OR ANTHONY RANDOLPH PLAYING CENTER.THATS RIDICULOUS.someone needs to do like my old coaches did and make this guy have a practice w/o the basketball.

#3 James Dolan
If your gonna clearly stick your neck into the business and be a "hands on" owner...MAKE YOUR GM GET A REALLY GOOD PG!!!cmon since the patrick ewing years we've yet to have a good team lead by a good pg.i still say if we had a pg we woulda got over the hump @ least once when pat was here.we always run our good pgs outta town.they get thrown in our laps and more often than not they ARE FROM NY!!! We ran Mark Jackson outta town. We ran Rod Strickland outta town and we ran Stephon Marbury outta town. We came back with bums like Chris Duhon and Charlie Ward and Howard Eisley and Gren Anthony and got guys past their prime like Derek Harper and Mo Cheeks and Doc Rivers.If I became owner of the Knicks the 1st thing I say to my GM is go out an get me an elite pg.If you can get a superstar fine but if you dont get a good pg in 2 yrs time you're fired

#4LeBron James
Not just ranting because I wanted him to be a Knick but because he's the biggest sissy in sports.go out and compete!!!what a punk move.I woulda hated him for goin to chitown.i woulda thought it was dumb if he went to the nets or stayed home or became a clipper but i woulda respected him.I have no respect for a guy @ 25 saying I cant win against my peers so I'll tag along.Please ppl,if you are a fan of basketball,do not EVER mention his name in the same breath as Jordan again...or even Kobe,Magic or Bird for that matter.I made that mistake but clearly he doesnt have the heart to man up and WIN a ring.He wants to be given one.You might as well go buy one from a jewelry store LeBron because winning a ring with one of the top 3 players in the league and one of the top 3 big men in the league means absolutely nothing.You dont brag that you won in madden if your playing w/ the settings on rookie.

Ok I dont have a lot to rant about. I rarely rant about players because I rather blame the President/GM and Coach for either acquiring said player or not putting a player in the best position to win.

Obviously I am not pleased about how the Jerome James and Eddy Curry situations turned out but at the time I didnt kill either move. I didnt like the fact that IT traded Camby and Nazr Mohammed that left the Knicks in those positions to acquire them.

Currently, If Walsh is going to give away all the Knicks talented players for nothing then he should have told Mike to play the kids as starters regardless of record outcomes. If this was going to be 2 throw away years then it would have made sense to play them and make them the focal point of the team. The Knicks werent going to win either way but at least know what you have.

Dumbtoni is an awful coach with bad in game decisions, substitutions, rotations, and communication with his players. No player knew their role or what was the expectations of them.

The losing will continue until the President/GM and Dumbtoni have better communication with one another. Dumbtoni communicates with his players. I dont have any faith in either one of these guys to make this happen. The talent has improved this year so that MAY translate into a few more wins.

Walsh you dont give a 5 year 99million dollar guaranteed and UNINSURED contract to a player a year removed from microfracture surgery and eye issues. Although I love the acquisition of Turiaf, Kaz, and Randolph they are all coming off an injured year. I do believe that CJ watson could have been acquired in addition as well but I wont kill that.

An uninsured contract sucks when that player medically can't play again, yet the team has to pay him.

That's what most peoples issue is.

Here is my next rant. Magic and Jordan.

Not Knicks related by any stretch, but these guys have every reason to rip LeBitch a new ass hole.

First off, these guys were drafted by the teams that they stuck with and won with. They have every right to talk.

For the most part other than Kareem, the Lakers grew their player together in drafts.

Jordan didn't have anything but role players and Pippen.

Horace Grant may be the closest thing to a Big 3 for them.

As a basketball fan, I am glad the older players, the Hof'ers in particular are coming out on this.

This is a joke and makes the League look pathetic.

So LeBron allegedly tells Paul..."Hey stay out West, be a better rivalry".

Just my take on it. I think LeBitch just wants an easier ride to the Finals.

LeSellout telling other players what to do/not do. Where is Stern on all this, and Stern threatening fines and what-not on Paul's agent for tampering, etc. Where was he with "Miamigate"?

I think with Amare', Melo, CP3 on the Knicks, Miami will never reach the promised land. Unless the NBA "helps" Miami with LA.

I hope Bang-Bang West is Bang-Banging LeWuss' mom right now.

Wouldn't that be awkward, LeWade-lover going over to mom's house on Christmas and Delonte coming out of mom's bedroom (paid for by LeLoser) putting on a bathrobe? That would be priceless to see. It would be even better if mom and Delonte were expecting.

It's late but I feel like ranting.

Walsh needs to make a huge push for Carmelo Anthony and show his worth. I want to see a contender in MSG, which we haven't had since one of the biggest NBA miracles in 1999. I don't care if Danilo, Wilson, Randolph or any other player besides Amar'e needs to go, he could be extremely valuable to us. If he is traded to another team and he decides to stay there we are f-cked, how are we going to attract Paul, Williams or even Parker then? These elite point guards want guys who can finish for them. What point guard wouldn't want to play with Carmelo and Amar'e? Also, I would love to see a Carmelo-Amar'e pick and roll.

SO GET CARMELO ANTHONY, HE BELONGS IN NY!

I have read in the papers today that he is considering putting Amar'e in as a starting "CENTER".

This isn't PHX dumbass!!!

This team does not need another non-center playing center.

Let Mozgov start. If he fouls out so ****ing what!!!

Let the true centers have the spot, at he has proven so far in these pre-season games, that he will mix it up down there.

We saw this same shit last year with Lee.

We flat out got abused last year in the paint.

Almost wanna say we gave the most ppg in the paint than any other team.

And that was with a an exceptional rebounder in the paint.

I don't see Stat getting 12 boards although he may get 2 blocks.

I guess the question is... will 8 rebs, and 2 blocks= 12 rebounds per game?

Of course this is to have more shooting on the floor having Chandler at the four.

D'antoni is getting on my nerves right now.

These few pre-season games should have given him some indication if what to do, yet he say he still don't know.

I know and I'm not the coach!!! What the hell is he watching??


C Mozgov
PF Amare
SF Gallo
SG Mason Jr.
PG Felton

That's the best you'd have as an offensive defensive club starting. (I lol'ed at the defense part too).

6th man Randolph...he comes in specifically to hold down either the C or PF position.

3 more in rotation......
Douglas
Walker
Turiaf


On the other note...why is D'antoni constantly talking negative about his players in the media???

One of the youngest clubs in the League, and the coach is discussing their flaws through the media.

Real bright dude.

WhySoInsecure?
10-16-2010, 12:08 PM
For this offense to work Amare HAS to start at the 5. With Mozgov out there we lose all the mismatches. Plus it clogs the paint which ruins our pick and roll game and forces Amare out of the block.

We need a stretch 4, and more ballhanding in the backcourt because so far it doesn't look like Felton can get it done alone.

With Moz at the 5 and Chandler at the 2 we're too slow to run on teams and don't have the spacing/shooters/ballhandling to get anything done in the halfcourt.


A lineup of
Felton
Walker/Fields (ultimately Azubuike)
Gallo
Chandler
Amare

doesn't really give up that much size. Chandler did a good job on KG last year and I like him much more at the 4 than the 2. Gallo is 6'10 and can help on the boards (speaking of Gallo, I think it's time to start getting him ready to play the 4). Amare is not David Lee, he's still a poor defender but he contests shots and gets his blocks.

The offense would flow much better with a smaller lineup.

Chandler and Azabuike is really a toss up. Now that I think about it your probably right. Chandler should start. He's having an impressive pre season and we shouldn't rush Azabuike back from injury. Im just curious to see Azabuike play.

I'm getting really annoyed by this sh-t we see every game.

First things first, fire Mike D'Antoni. He really doesn't know what to do and he is limiting STAT's potential in NY by keeping him out of the paint. He is one of the worst (if not the worst) defensive coach in the League.
Raymond Felton hasn't looked good and he's been outplayed at his own position by 2nd year "combo guard" Toney Douglas. We payed a lot of money to get him to play here, I was happy to see him in a Knicks uniform but he hasn't shown much at all.

Danilo, Danilo, Danilo. I wish he'd play better, or just play more consistently because he isn't helping the team with his play this season.

Defense. Anyone who says the Knicks haven't been horrible defensively is spittin' some major BS. And Toney needs to stop gambling on defense, I've seen him out of position way too often to get a steal which results in two points for the opposition. It's fantastic we are amongst the league leaders in blocks and steals but those have been "empty stats" for us. The only reason we get those is because we either gamble or our bigs bail us out. Which hasn't happened too often with Turiaf out.


3-6

We have beaten the Wizards and the Raptors. Those are horrible teams. Our only decent win was against Chicago and we only won that by lights out shooting and coaching errors on the Bulls side.

I agree he's played better than Felton but it won't help the team. He certainly won't be able to make enough plays for his teammates in a pick and roll because he is a score-first PG. And he won't be consistent enough as a starter. I think he should develop more to be in the starter-conversation.

Personally, I think Toney Douglas is a great scorer off the bench. A role he's made for.

Douglas simply is not a pg.Never was and never will be.Besides,Felton is exactly who you should have expected him to be.He's just not that good.He's an average guy.His numbers arent terrible though.We have far more pressing matters than Felton.Besides if we bench him,we diminish his trade value.

I agree he's too small to be a 2 but thats what he is skill wise.Therefore he is good for a spark off the bench.This is the exactly the reason why I found it hilarious that we were considering overpaying for Shannon Brown who is also a 2 trapped in a point guard's body.

Have you seen Shannon play this year, he has been incredible. Shooting very well from downtown too. He would be great in this system and with his play lately we wouldn't be overpaying him. Let's hope Azubuike can give this team a lift when he returns.

Not too many teams are giving away good pg's.
Other than the Hornets with Collison.

Douglas simply is not a pg.Never was and never will be.Besides,Felton is exactly who you should have expected him to be.He's just not that good.He's an average guy.His numbers arent terrible though.We have far more pressing matters than Felton.Besides if we bench him,we diminish his trade value.
Well Felton just isn't distributing well. He's trying too hard to be some kind of star. Douglas will go in and do all the right things. Our most effective lineup has been Douglas/Fields/Gallo/Chandler/Amare.

An expected three game losing streak.

The team is showing that they aren't quite as good as we may want to believe.

Our glowing need for a center, and a second reliable scoring option is painfully evident.

Oh, and people who play some f-ckin' defense. They don't do shit on that end of the floor.

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions or being too critical or being too hasty but am I the only one that gets the feeling that Walsh isn't working hard enough to get things done?I mean the Melo thing obviously is a tricky situation.The Nets have thrown everyone at them and it hasn't gone down.I don't think Walsh was aggressive enough BUT I'm not necessarily referring to that because there are so many nuances and ppl to please in that deal.But c'mon...The Minnesota deal?...A first rounder and a backup pg who is very capable for a player who doesn't get burn on your team?Telfair is even talking buyout because he's been playing fairly well in limited minutes but can't catch break.I'm sure Minnesota,who's overloaded with PG's on their roster,would deal him in a heartbeat.AND they've reportedly been willing to give up the 1st but Walsh is hesitant to trade Randolph.Also.I dont know why we didnt re-sign Barron to begin with but we didnt.He play really well for us last year.He got cut by PHX who were overloaded with Centers.Why the hell isn't he a NY Knick?Why the hell hasn't Walsh @ least addressed our backup needs.Why can't we @ least bring in Rafer Alston for a workout?Or Sundiata Gaines?Or Earl Barron? C'mon.I don't like what I'm seeing from our GM.Not the Melo deal.The little stuff that won't effect our cap,remove any major contributors from our team or cause a shake-up in our team chemistry....it's simply not getting done.I get the sense that our early success has cause some complacency within our organization and fan base and we're destined to be a team stuck with D'Antoni long term,with Amare looking for help and us waiting around for Gallo to become Dirk.

^ What is the Minnesota deal??

knickscity
01-14-2011, 10:23 AM
I agree and have posted this in another thread prior to reading this one.

The Minny deal was AR for a pick AND possibly Telfair, but definitely a pick, probably their own.

Walsh isn't sure he will do it.

The other deal is Mayo. "Sources" claim he wants the Knicks.

Walsh denies they have talked, yet "sources" in the Knicks front office say they have.

Let's face it, AR is not gonna play here. Somehow he doesn't fit, if that's imaginable.

Then trade him already, since Minny seems willing to do it.

If it's Minny's own pick, it will be high enough to satisfy Denver.

There are protections on that pick though from a Clippers trade they did some time ago.

So let's see if this deal were to happen.......

Knicks trade AR to Minny for Telfair and Minny's 2011 1st, or whoever's it is, then.....

Denver trade Melo to the Knicks for........

Gallo, Fields, Curry, Walker, Minny's 2011 1st, Knicks 2014 1st.

Grizzlies trade OJ for JR

Not sure how the grizzlies deal could pan out, since it would have to be more from the Grizzlies side to make it work.

But either way Walsh needs to go get the pick first before anything can happen.

edit: How did I skip the obvious.

Did you mean NOT gonna play here and Trade him already?


From the multiple reports I've read the rumors regarding Knicks transactions are:

Randolph for Telfair and a 1st

Melo to the Knicks,Mayo to the Nuggets (despite him clamoring that he wants to be a Knick) and JR Smith to Grizzlies.I haven't heard who and what We have to give up yet.I'm thinking about joining twitter JUST to follow Broussard lol.

I did mean "not", good catch.

I just think Melo needs to open his mouth all the way.

Say what you want playboy.

If it's the Knicks, say "Knicks or no extension for anyone else, I will be going to free agency to test my options."

That will make Denver deal with us.

Mayo for JR would be nice for both teams.

I still say Donnie needs to get that damn pick already.

I'm not joining twitter, I can read it without joining.

I was just thinking. And why the f-ck didn't we draft Eric Gordon instead of Gallo. I wanted it back then and still want it up until this very day.

23.6 points, 4.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals shooting .455 from the field and .324 from downtown.

Raymond Felton
Eric Gordon
Landry Fields
Wilson Chandler
Amar'e Stoudemire

If only we would have drafted Eric Gordon.

We knew we were gonna draft Gallo from jump.I don't think we even honestly considered anyone else.D'Antoni and Gallo's dad were former teammates I believe.He plays that Euro style of basketball D'Antoni loves.It really was the ideal fit for Mike.Plus,in all fairness,Gordon is a tweener and theres always risk when drafting those guys.Case in point:Toney Douglas.Cant do anything about it now.That being said,up until this year,there are people that would have crucified you if you woulda said you'd trade Gallo for Gordon.In fact Im sure there still are people that would say no.

Gimme a break with the charges.The guy gets over 20 minutes a game.He isn't drawing 10-15 charges.If you get on a basketball court and play over 20 minutes and your contribution is drawing 1 or 2 charges,you suck!We could have Battier play Center if thats the case.Turiaf and Shelden Williams can draw chares too.Williams went to Puke...thats all they do.

BTW Yall see Kemba today? UCONN BABY!

Talk about cold blooded.

The Portland TrailBlazers has seriously entertained the idea of asking Brandon Roy to retire.

The need to fire their medical staff, is what they need to do.

But yeah, Roy should tell them to screw themselves and buy him out.

I know the guys knees are gone, but he can still play.

He sure as hell would help us.

Scoooter

Never really a fan. He was a good player, but those knees aren't getting better. When he was at his best, he seemed extremely ball-dominant - LaMarcus Aldridge didn't really break out until Roy was sidelined - and on the Knicks that obviously won't work too well. Plus, he always seemed like he had some attitude issues. I mean, if he was cheap enough, then meh, but I'm not creaming my panties.

knickscity
05-28-2011, 11:10 PM
I'm only thinking of him signing for the vets min, nothing more, so I know that's not reality.

But he can shoot, and for the minutes he would/could play, 20-25 max, his shot attempts would be within the offensive flow.
