Knicks team arrives wearing black tonight?

[9erempiree]

Don't know if this was mentioned but I find it hilarious that they showed up wearing black. J.R. Smith opened his dumb mouth and then Kenyon telling the team to dress as if they were attending a funeral for the Celtics tonight.

The entire team did. Not sure if Chandler did or not. He's pretty classy dude.

Looks like the drama is on for this series.

I hate the Celtics but they straight owned the Knicks tonight.

Here's JR backtracking......

I am getting a big kick out of this wearing black thing.

As much as I hate the Celtics, hope they beat the arrogant Knick team :bowdown:

The funny thing is JR Smith opens his mouth and they lose.

Then Kenyon tells everyone to dress like this and they lose.

It's the freaking playoffs, you need to get serious.

Felton is such a fatty.

[TheStarting5ive]

And things like this are why everyone hates the Knicks. Their arrogance knows no bounds. And what makes it worse is they have NO reason to behave in such a way. The Lakers would never, The Celtics would never, even the Miami Heat would never. I can't imagine any team other than the Knicks thinking this was "cool".

Who the hell does shit like this? When I first heard it I thought it was a joke, then I see these fools really arrived in all black SMH...they got what they deserved. They let Kenyon Martin the locker room cancer set them up for failure.

I think it really exposes Melo's qualities as a leader. I don't know if he can lead a team to a championship. He's the star player of the Knicks and I find it funny that he didn't step in and tell his team to cut it with that stupid idea.

I can't believe he lets Kenyon run the locker room. It's pretty sad that a team with Kidd, Chandler and Melo.....all Team USA guys would let Kenyon Martin influence them.

Someone should have stepped up and say that's stupid and focus on winning.

[coin24]

The only death is the coming back from 0-3 record:lol
The Knicks are in real trouble if Boston take game 6 at home!!

In a rare case, the Knicks players are actually just as arrogant as the fans themselves. I think it's hilarious.

[AintNoSunshine]

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

These ni99as got way ahead of themselves, they haven't won more than 1 playoff game before this year for the entire decade and now winning 3 games against a 7 seed makes them think they're the sh!t?

[All Net]

What a bunch of idiots :oldlol:

[HarryCallahan]

Foolishness. Out of everyone in the league, KG and Jet are the two guys you least wanna give extra motivation to.

[SevereUpInHere]

Obviously this is massively embarrassing in hindsight. :oldlol:


Anyone who has complained that players in the nba are too buddy buddy, or there aren't any rivalries in the NBA can't possibly complain about this.

I bet if Memphis did this to the Clipps, or someone did it to the Lakers people would think it was the best thing either.

It's pretty stupid no matter how you put it.

You can still have a strong rivalry without resorting to something as attending a funeral.

Can you imagine if Kenyon played on the Lakers and he told Kobe and company to do that? Kobe probably would have smacked him upside his head.

Never said it wasn't. All I'm saying is it adds interest and a bit of a twist to the series. Rather this than Terry and JR going for dinner between games.

One of the few times that I'm going to agree with you. And yes, I can totally see Kobe doing that. He would definitely tell Kenyon to shut the hell up.

Also, what the hell is wrong with Carmelo? He's acting like a role player. He needs to be more assertive and vocal. He won't be considered a top player if he doesn't bring out his leadership qualities.

I wonder what Jason and Tyson did? They're way above this kinda crap.


Felton is such a fatty.
He looks like the gay flight attendant from Soul Plane.

[Teanett]

embarrassing. bunch of idiots :banghead:

i'd like to apologize for this shit, but it doesnt matter coming from anybody than them.

[Clutch]

This shit backfired sooo bad :roll:

:facepalm

:roll: :roll:

embarrassing team to be a fan of.

[Foster5k]

LMAO!!! These fools got GASED! Dressing in all black. LOL!!! They thought they were Miami or something. These clowns haven't won sh!t. Celtics might just pull the unthinkable and win from being down 0-3. Then we'll really neeed some caskets for these posers.

[kNicKz]

Funeral rescheduled

[Nash]

You know you're fecked when JR and Kenyon Martin step up as team leaders.

Kidd and Chandler need to show them who's boss.

[Rolando]

The only way Knicks can lose this series is if they let this shit get to them. I hope it does.

I wonder how the New York media is handling these dumbasses. I know if they were in Boston they would be crapped on pretty bad.

[r15mohd]

i'm hoping the Knicks lose just because of this...I wanted to see a Miami-Knicks ECF matchup but these stupid antics are worth the Celtics winning it.

would also love to see KG's post-game interview at center court in MSG going off on the Knicks and their stupidity, and how the funeral attire brought them to that next level to knock out NY. :D

[bagelred]

Since Knicks do it, it's antics. If another team did this, it would be a great sign of team unity.

[r15mohd]

The ones who will fall in the coffin full of fresh Celtics urine will be the Knicks. Book it.

When I heard this about them wearing all black yesterday, I was thinking, "Please don't."

I'm not lying when I say I'm rooting for the Knicks to win it all (since LAL are out), but when they pull dumb shit like this, it's hard to do that.

[r15mohd]

it's negative because the Knicks did it purposely at the Celtics...wearing black because we are prepping your funeral? wtf!!!

usually teams do things like wear headbands together to build comradery...no direct purpose to the opponent, it's self driven unlike this antic by the Knicks

[D-Rose]

That shit is plain arrogant, gimicky, and classless. How the hell does a team with so many vets end up doing this?

[dannywpt]

Karma (and Jason Terry) need to make this the most embarrassing moment in NBA history when winning 4-3

[R.I.P.]

Mavs were 4-0 when wearing the close-out black. Maybe the Knicks can be 0-4. :D

This shows what kind of lockeroom this Knicks team has and exposes how bad of a leader Melo is.

It's very inappropriate to wear black and talk about funeral specifically especially if you are up against a team whose city is still recovering from all the shit that happened to them last Month.

I hate the Heat especially Wade but with this Knicks stupidity, I will be rooting for the Heat if ever the Knicks and Heat face on the ECF.

I hope Martin and Smith will have the worst injury of their career so every Celtics fans can wear black for them as well and I mean it.

[Psycho]

Well, since people died, wearing black seems rather appropriate. Don't people have funerals when people die? Maybe this was a nice gesture by the Knicks.

[KembaWalker]

This.

Could this be on the backfire level of LeBron/Wade mocking Dirk's flu incident

As if they are doing it as a sign respect? they are doing to taunt the team they are up against at, plain and simple and yes stupid and immature.

Kenyon Martin did not want anything to do with this question in the post game interview. He said, "if you want to talk about the game, lets talk about the game". What a lame. If you have the courage to talk trash and wear black and all this crap before the game, have the courage to own up to it after the game...

Though the Knicks have a way way better team than the Celtics, their lack of professionalism is somewhat astounding. But anyway, the term 'professionalism' is nonexistent for the entire Knicks franchise, from management, to players and to fans.
:rolleyes:

[ripthekik]

come on guys, it's not that bad.. i think it's pretty funny..
they obvious don't mean death like that.. it's like when deandre jordan dunked on brandon knight, everyone went RIP and put a coffin on him.

I like this stuff.. it's old school, straight dissing the other team, good old fun. No harm done, just some drama between the teams and entertainment for us.

better than all buddy buddy, melo getting a beer before the game with pierce heat style.

[retaxis]

Just wondering when Rip's retarded head was gonna spin it some way about Miami and he didn't dissapoint. If you can count on one thing is Rips mentally ill obssession regarding Heat/Lebron.

[AlphaWolf24]

- Funny part was after the game....K Martin wouldn't answer any questions about " wearing black"...


- Ho azz ....can give it but not take it.

[pegasus]

Not sure if this was mentioned already, but playing a joke like this on a team from a city which very recently suffered a terrorist attack, is just plain tactless. I'm sure they had no intentions of hurting the feelings of those who were affected by the attack, but still... No one in that locker room has half a brain? Where's their so-called veteran leadership? Where's Camby? Where's Kidd?

I wanted them to crush the Heat in the ECF after we beat them up first, but now I want the Celtics to make history.

I wonder if JR got this from Kidd or Chandler.

2011 Mavs did this for every close out game on their Championship run and never lost. Obviously Kidd and Chandler were apart of that....

[Dro]

Boston deserved it.
Boston deserved what?

[EnoughSaid]

:roll: Melo, JR, and K Mart should know better than this, especially after being with Denver for a while. Only getting out of the first round once in his career, and he thinks he can just announce a victory like this? Knicks haven't won a series in 12 years and they think they can just do this? :oldlol: Hope Boston beats this team flat out.

I said that to myself after I saw the interview, if you have the balls to wear black, you know your gonna get bombarded with questions about it after the game, especially if you lose. Man the f*ck up and answer the questions.

I didn't read through the thread, so I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but I find it ironic that the wearing of black before a game because you're hoping to "bury a team" was first done by arguably the greatest Celtic player of all time, Bill Russell.

I played in this dumb number of seventh games. You know -- the last game. Either you win, or if you lose you go home. And I have a perfect record. Won all of them...I came to the seventh game, I had a black suit on. And he says, "Why do you always wear a black suit to these games?" I said, "Because I'm the undertaker. I've come to bury these people!" Sam and I used to kid about that all the time. He says, "You always wear a black suit." "Yep, I'm the undertaker. I come to bury these guys." So finally -- a guy kept asking was I nervous or was I scared. So finally I said, "Listen, there was no reason for me to be scared or nervous. I did not have to play against Bill Russell and the Celtics. What was there to be nervous or scared about?" You probably think I'm really modest, right?

Russ had credibility though. I respect Kidd/Chandler (neither of whom participated, afaik), but the rest of the team really shouldn't be trying to pull that shit.
