THE EPIC TANK GAME: New York at Charlotte, 8:00 PM EST on TNT

[bagelred]

In order for the Knicks to not play the Heat, they are going to have to tank the most Epic of tanks.........tanking against the Charlotte Bobcats who've tanked 22 games in a tank.

Mike Woodson has proved he can win....can he prove he can lose? This will be his greatest challenge yet. I'm thinking starting lineup of Mike Bibby, Jerome Jordan, Spike Lee, Tina Cervasio, and Eddy Curry flown in from Miami. Not sure that'll be enough.

The Charlotte Bobcats present the ultimate test. Will Mike Woodson pass?


"Tanks!"
"You're Welcome!"

I don't think the Knicks care at all. I think it's the opposite, they want to win.

#23 is the GOAT's number, try as you might NY it's all in vain. You're easily gonna be outtanked.

[It's A VC3!!!]

The Knicks have been tanking since 1999. It's time to win now.:lol
As a basketball fan wanting your team to win, ou shouldn't hope you face the easier team. As a Mavs fan, I welcome any team, no matter who it is. Bring it on OKC!

[ILLsmak]

I was just thinking about this. The league needs to implement some anti-tanking measure. It's possible that the reason none of the playoff teams are under .500 in the east is because of THE BOBCATS.

In that vein, it skews everything. Their losses are someone else's wins. That's bogus. If a team loses all of their games, that's giving twice as many wins to once conference as the other, in theory.

-Smak

[coin24]

Why would the Knicks try and tank? I think they actually want to play Miami, may aswell start the playoffs with a small winning streak, spirits high etc...

Ill be rooting for them hard against the Heat:rockon: :rockon:
Should be a good series, as others have said, Melo v Bron, Stat v Bosh.. Cant wait:cheers:

[iDunk]

Anyone who wants to tank is retarded. Why be afraid of the big bad Heat? Bring on the chokers. BEAT THE HEAT.

Knicks need to win, I dont want to play the Bulls yet. Save them for the EC Finals.

[Blue&Orange]

It will be in vain, 76ers are tanking too.
Exactly i don't understand why the Knicks are supposed to be "afraid" of the Heat but the Sixers somehow aren't.

[The Ownage]

If we're tanking then our team is retarded.

[Teanett]

bring on the heat!






...better not play gadzuric.

[Teanett]

my 3000th post was about dan gadzuric. :facepalm

Not good with the sarcasm, eh?

But actually, if makes sense for team to lose, to get better matchup, I'm all for it. In this case, I really don't know. My preference is the Bull sthough.

[Nash]

I've talked to some of my friends who are Knicks fans and they are absolutely gutted that the Knicks don't do more to avoid Miami. They feel that they have a better shot at Chicago which to be honest is what I feel to.

Also, I'm a bit selfish since I will be in New York for the 2nd round and I would love to have seen New York still in the playoffs. :D

So which Miami Heat poster are you?

[Nash]

So which Miami Heat poster are you? :confusedshrug: I've been pretty clear about the fact that I want Miami to win it all.

[cteach111]

this is really on TNT? lol

this will be an interesting game though cause the Knicks could lose this one with Melo and Amare (probably?) out

Yup. They don't make them like they used to. Used to be all the rage.

You have other accounts

[Nash]

You have other accounts
No, not at all. Ask mods if you don't believe me.

[InfiniteBaskets]

Is New York planning on resting any of its starters? Charlotte the verge of history here.

[chairman]

No, not at all. Ask mods if you don't believe me.
Why would I ask mods when you make it obvious?

[iDunk]

Interesting to see whose going to play tonight.

My guesses are that the starters will be Bibby/Shumpert/Fields/Stoudemire/Chandler .. Chandler will play limited minutes .. Amare will play around 30.

[InfiniteBaskets]

I want to see Big East Championship Kemba

[Droid101]

Charlotte isn't even tanking. They could have started winning 10 games ago and won them all and they still would have the worst record.

They are simply a terrible, awful basketball team.

[(e)]

MJ is going for 23 straight.

[Clutch]

Rest starters. That's all I want.

[maybeshewill13]

MJ is going for 23 straight.

:lol how fitting.

[IGOTGAME]

I don't think the Knicks care at all. I think it's the opposite, they want to win.

They better win...I really want to see the Knicks/Heat series.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Speaking of tanking, the Nets are resting Wallace and Hump. If they lose tonight they will have a 1/3 chance landing a top 3 pick, and 1-9 getting first overall. :cheers:

[pegasus]

The Knicks had better not try to lose this game, because I'm pretty sure the Sixers will wanna lose to the Pistons, so why humiliate yourselves for nothing? It is the Bobcats after all.

[cteach111]

what happens if both philly and ny lose tonight? who wins out?

[pegasus]

what happens if both philly and ny lose tonight? who wins out?

NY holds the tie-breaker.

[nightprowler10]

I don't care how badly you wanna avoid a team in the playoffs, you don't lose to the Bobcats FFS.

[Optimus Prime]

This game is absolutly pathetic. They need to switch it with Memphis / Orlando (even though Orlando will have a ton of DNP - Rest) which is the only game that means anything. Switch the late game to Lakers / Kings as well. At least watching Kobe shoot away would be far more entertaining than two teams tanking and/or not caring.

The draft lottery is so stupid. Do any teams want to win tonight other than Memphis? How fantastic! :facepalm

[Draz]

melo vs bron will be good. we know bron and wade will and can score.

[DuMa]

idiot knicks should have tanked yesterday :facepalm

Atlanta wants to win, they are still in the race for HCA

[alwaysunny]

I'm so sick of this tanking BS. Bring on the Heat, shit it's bout time we get some warm weather up in here

[Zackmorris]

It still baffles me how Bobcats got a national game:lol

[Smoke117]

What's the difference? The Knicks aren't beating the Heat, the Knicks aren't beating the Bulls. Last year they were going to beat the Celtics right? Sweeeeeeeeeeep. I hope they get swept again this year. Knicks fans and their delusions are so tiresome.

[Clutch]

We can tell our grandchildren that we witnessed the worst record in the history of NBA :lol

That's the reason I'll be there tonight. :rockon: I went to every Panthers home game in 2000. We lost every got dayum one. 3 years later we were in the Superbowl. Change will come to those who are patient. Knicks fans should know this better than anyone else.

Dallas, Atlanta, Memphis and probably Denver.

[iDunk]

Knicks starters:

PG: Mike Bibby
SG: Iman Shumpert
SF: Landry Fields
PF: Josh Herellson
C: Amare Stoudemire

backups: JR Smith, Steve Novak, Dan Gadzuric, Jerome Jordan

CANT LOSE THIS. Just for embarrassment issues. Oh & also cause I wanna see the Knicks shit on Miami.

[Glide2keva]

Willis Reed, Allen Houston, John Starks, Spike Lee and Eddie Curry would have to suit up in order for them to lose this game and even then it'll be a close call.

[CLTHornets4eva]

God bless the boys, its gonna be a long night. 1 Year until were the hornets.

[Clutch]

This actually might be a good game. Not quality wise but score wise it could be close.

[bagelred]

Knicks tanking baby. :bowdown:

[LockoutOver11]

whats james harden doing playing for the bobcats,, thought ron took him out

[KDTrey5]

Knicks tanking baby. :bowdown:
bobcats gotta go big on their last game

[bagelred]

Jerome Jordan sighting. :eek:

[veilside23]

bobcats needs something positive after tanking all season long..

I dont think they are that bad... really. just tanking to either get Davis or barnes assuming they dont get 1st pick... they would get barnes :D

[Blue&Orange]

Jordan

:bowdown:

[I.Malcolm]

Knicks tanking for no reason. Philly is gonna lose to detroit and New York is going to face Miami right after getting their ass kicked by the BOBCATS :lol :lol

Intentional loss or no that can't leave a good taste in your mouth.

[TonyD]

It will be in vain, 76ers are tanking too.

76ers down 25, called it.

[Whoah10115]

Just saw the Philly/Detroit score...we're playing Miami.

[Jasi]

It seems to me that Philly is winning the tank fest.
They're down 25 in the 2nd quarter in Detroit :lol

[Clutch]

This game is actually better than I could imagine.

Not really interesting but not boring either.

[ImmortalNemesis]

Houston down by 13 to New Orleans. :lol LOL @ all the tanking going on tonight. Everybody wants to lose.

[Blue&Orange]

Jordan

:bowdown:

[Clutch]

Jordan already set his career high in points :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[T-Time3]

Michael Jordan sighting,
Jerome Jordan aka the next MJ beasting !!!

[iDunk]

I'll tell you what Jerome Jordan will be a quality player in the future. His length is amazing.

[bagelred]

Knicks tanking for no reason. Philly is gonna lose to detroit and New York is going to face Miami right after getting their ass kicked by the BOBCATS :lol :lol

Intentional loss or no that can't leave a good taste in your mouth.

Let's see.......no Melo, no Chandler, no Davis, no Lin (of course), no Jeffries, Amare half a game, Shumpert half a game..........


And you think this game means something?

[ihoopallday]

Lmao at the halftime show

[TonyD]

**** what you heard, I think Shaq is good on TNT.

[Blue&Orange]

Charles Barkley it's starting to piss me off. What have the Knicks done that can been seen as tanking?

That idiot and others are trying to sell the idea the Knicks are afraid of the Heat, but Knicks just kept winning games.

Knicks going to win to day and finish the season 7-3, yep that's tanking right there.

I just find if funny that people have been trying to sell the idea of the Knicks being afraid, tanking, like the Sixers never existed, that how biased some morons are, they even forgot a NBA team.

[Droid101]

:lol

Everyone complaining that this game was on national TV as the first game, and it turns out to be the CLOSEST game so far at halftime.

You gotta quit letting the haters get to you. It's annoying how biased people can be, but I just ignore them now. I'm a Heat fan, and even I know the Knicks could beat us. They're peaking at the right time.

[bagelred]

Michael looks good. Doesn't look as middle aged as he did recently.

I just realized that Melo, Chandler, Davis, didn't make the trip to Charlotte? :wtf: That's odd.

I think you're looking way too deeply into it and getting way too defensive.

He's come to terms with how bad the team is and is drinking less.

It can't be possible. Really ?
Even Lin had a little shootaround earlier before the game

[LoneyROY7]

How can a team be THIS bad?

They're playing teams' benches and still getting kicked around.

[Cangri]

Well they do have a great advantage in the center position and if Carmelo keeps playing like a super star then the series can be really close.

[Clutch]

Fields going for a triple double.

6 points,5 rebounds,7 assists

[Blue&Orange]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Agile & Hostile !!

:bowdown:

[LoneyROY7]

STRAIGHT BANGIN' ON 'eM!

[ihoopallday]

Amar'e :bowdown:

[Clutch]

OMG

AMARE :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[T-Time3]

My Goodness Amare Stoudemire !!

[detroitdogg]

Low key, since Stat lost those extra pounds he put on prior to last season he seems to have some of his springs back. I thought dude knees were starting to get to him cause he was not even trying to yam last year or earlier this year. He lost that weight pre all star break and I had seen the springs then, then he got hurt. I think my nygga is back lol, I missed this STAT bad.

[T-Time3]

Hey is JR constantly shooting fadeaway shot everytime, or fadeaway is his shooting form ?

[iDunk]

Oh look Amare seems to be jumping out the building again ...

Like I said all the pieces are falling in place.

[Killbot]

Silas acknowledging that this Bobcats team is hopeless. He's hoping for Amare to sit out in the 4th. :roll:

[Blue&Orange]

Jerome Jordan about to take over the 4th.

[ihoopallday]

Hey is JR constantly shooting fadeaway shot everytime, or fadeaway is his shooting form ?

It's part of his shooting form. He does a lot of step back moves to create space and fades away 99% of the time. He's a great ISO player.

[Whoah10115]

I always laugh when people talk about how Amare is no longer athletic...lol. Since he hurt his knee 7 years ago, he's had his two and maybe three best seasons.

[Nori]

Amare looking great, that dunk over Tyrus Thomas was sick. Also had a nice explosive dunk early in the 3d quarter.

[Clutch]

Bobcats are historically bad. I can't believe we managed to lose a game against them,AT HOME.

[detroitdogg]

It's part of his shooting form. He does a lot of step back moves to create space and fades away 99% of the time. He's a great ISO player.
No, he is slow as hell with his handles, dude gets bumped everytime he tries to get past somebody off the dribble. And JR is my nygga, but he is not a good iso player at all, thats why he has to fade away so much, he cant create space off the dribble like that cause hs moves are extra slow. Not a terrible thing per say, but you cant make me believe he is actually a "good" iso player.

[1987_Lakers]

Brad Miller is still in the NBA? I remember when he got injured in the All-Star game.

[ihoopallday]

No, he is slow as hell with his handles, dude gets bumped everytime he tries to get past somebody off the dribble. And JR is my nygga, but he is not a good iso player at all, thats why he has to fade away so much, he cant create space off the dribble like that cause hs moves are extra slow. Not a terrible thing per say, but you cant make me believe he is actually a "good" iso player.

Lol I kinda overrated him on that post. But, I don't think he's that bad of an ISO player. Dude can create his own shot with time running out.

[Eric Cartman]

Bobcats are historically bad. I can't believe we managed to lose a game against them,AT HOME.

Boris Diaw played like prime Shaq. True Story.

[Killbot]

Witnessing history!

[Blue&Orange]

Boris Diaw played like prime Shaq. True Story.
his slow motion spin move on Amare was epic...

[Clutch]

Boris Diaw played like prime Shaq. True Story.
Don't remind me. I watched the game and it was a painful experience.

I remember 500 lbs Diaw spinning around Amare and finishing at the rim like it was yesterday :oldlol:

[detroitdogg]

Lol I kinda overrated him on that post. But, I don't think he's that bad of an ISO player. Dude can create his own shot with time running out.
Fasho, not bad at all. He has a quick release so that always helps when he cant get past somebody, he just looks so bad to me when trying to get to the rack off the dribble, he always ends up doing a behind the back dribble that takes him nowhere lmao.

[Blue&Orange]

Knicks bench > Bobcats starters.

[rufuspaul]

Well congratulations to the NY fukking Knicks, the same team that got smoked by the Bobcats in the Garden early in the season (one of the few times the cats were at full strength, btw).

Have fun losing in the 1st round of the playoffs.
