lol lets see who the knicks can get in the 2nd round :rockon:

[Meticode]

Watch, for whatever reason they'll start playing better. Such as a couple of seasons ago when Carmelo was out.

[pnyozzzoo]

Tim Hardaway JR. sanity. I swear the dude should be name JR SMith Jr. He get a dunk in transition and start yelling and waving at the crowd. Then the next thing you know he pulls up a three in transition with 20 secs left on the clock then continue brick 7 more shots. and he is a ROOKIE not even a lottery pick.

[bagelred]

I find when receiving disappointing news like this, avoidance is the key.

im glad you watch every knicks game so closely. further proof that the knicks are a fun team :rockon:

Most teams are probably better without Melo, lol. They're F'd without Chandler.

So what did you think of the Wolves against Cavs game? oh, you didn't watch it?

Knicks, the team everyone loves to watch. hate em or love em, everyone's watching :rockon:

[Teanett]

Andreamania!
Bargsanity!

[pnyozzzoo]

So what did you think of the Wolves against Cavs game? oh, you didn't watch it?

Knicks, the team everyone loves to watch. hate em or love em, everyone's watching :rockon:
I thought they played poorly till 4th Q, made some runs with Cavs choking like mad but did not lucked out. They look still interesting but no strong enough to challenge the upper es of west. non threat.
Cavs does not look that good either.
And knicks. Man they suck so bad watching them play is like watch comedy sometimes. But seriously you cannot watch them when there are some good match going on.

[scm5]

Dammit, have him on my fantasy team.

4-6 weeks, should I drop him?

[Harison]

Ouch... As much as I dislike some Knicks fans, but I dont wish injury on anyone :(

[scm5]

It's not a serious injury, it's just a fracture. Once he's back, he should perform.

The Knicks just have to stay afloat til' he's back...

[InspiredLebowski]

Knicks unprotected 1st rounder goes to Denver right? I love it.

[niko]

Some of you are bizarre. It's an injury, not a bad decision. I hope it's as funny when your players go down

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Knicks unprotected 1st rounder goes to Denver right? I love it.
:lol

Classic knicks fail.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Seriously though. This is terrible for the Knicks. I can't imagine how god awful that defense is gonna be.

[scm5]

Should I drop Tyson for Zaza or ride it out?

[Inferno]

Dammit, have him on my fantasy team.

4-6 weeks, should I drop him?

I'm dropping him for Bogut.

[niko]

Knicks unprotected 1st rounder goes to Denver right? I love it.
I hope when one of your players get hurt it's just as funny. Cause people breaking legs is great

[scm5]

I'm dropping him for Bogut.

I wish Bogut was available...

the best players in my league available right now are:

Vasquez
Avery Bradley
Stuckey
Pachulia
Bargs (lol)

Zaza seems like the best pick, but Sanders might pick it up and then I'm screwed.

Given those choices, would you ride it out?

[Burgz V2]

they could still have a respectable record. And by could I mean if they somehow turn Bargs into Ben Wallace :lol

[RoundMoundOfReb]

:biggums::lol

[Rameek]

I cant believe a bump turned into a fracture. Didnt even seem so serious, looked like a boo boo.

Knicks can survive this. I think the philosophy will turn into run and gun.

Those in fantasy leagues if you are in a league with 10 teams or less of course you drop him. If you are in 12 or more league teams depends on the level of competition. If you will lose match ups because of it you gotta dump and run.

12 man league.

The thing is, zaza is doing really well.

13/8/2 with 1.5stls and good FG%. Off to a good start, but I fully expect Sanders to claim more minutes.

I'm torn!

[InspiredLebowski]

I hope when one of your players get hurt it's just as funny. Cause people breaking legs is greatRight. Because it's Chandler going down that's funny, not the absolute complete lack of foresight Dolan possesses. Draft picks? Who cares?! We're New York! Not even foresight, just the common sense to realize he doesn't know dick about basketball and his job is to sign the checks and sit and enjoy. When someone in his employ tries to tell him that the mother****er fires them.

I don't understand how Knicks fans aren't rioting Sacto with the Magoofs style. Dolan cancels out every single advantage the NYC market has.

[kaiteng]

Andrea Bargnani as Knicks' starting center.....

[christian1923]

At least we kept Chris smith and not a extra big man

[pnyozzzoo]

Jason Collin + MWP = what will happen?

[rufuspaul]

Jeez people he'll be back by Christmas. Relax.

[[GR]]

They're still making the playoffs. Denver can't get out of the first round without Melo, and look like a mess. They shouldn't be laughing at anyone

[zoom17]

If he never missed so many leg days dude has sticks for legs :oldlol:

[Rameek]

As a Knick fan its far from the end of the world. It's only for a month or so. Its not like the East is that great anyway. No one is running away with it anyways. People must have forgotten that Chandler was out about a total of 2 months last year with a herniated disc and we still managed to keep the 2nd seed.

Missing production for that long is not easy. You have to determine based on the level of competition in your league will you fall out the top 6 without him but once he's back you will vault in the top 3?

Most teams in a super competitive league wouldnt be able to miss any production for that long. If you believe your team wont fall too far then sure you can hold him.

Some options:
If people are dumb in your league you trade him.
You can combo other players to make room to stream a player.
You can hold onto him and pray.
You can drop him and pray no one picks him up.
You can drop him and stream hot players.

I lost out on Larry Sanders last year because I streamed him but he ended up on someone else's team and became a top 10 player.

[DirkNowitzki41]

damn that sucks :(

[niko]

Right. Because it's Chandler going down that's funny, not the absolute complete lack of foresight Dolan possesses. Draft picks? Who cares?! We're New York!

Tyson broke his leg. You laugh. It's not funny. And this thought that the fans can oust the owner, how does that work? I don't go to the garden. I don't pay for anything save the $20 shirt. And i complain about him all the time. How do you oust the owner? And don't tell me root for another team, that's not fair, i'm not like that.

Asking fans to get rid of an owner is stupid, that's not possible.

[secund2nun]

:lol

Classic knicks fail.

They are by far the worst run franchise in the nba. They trade everything away for mediocre overrated Melo and waste a large part of the cap on him. Then they trade away an unprotected first rounder and then waste their amnesty on Billups small contract instead of Amare's historically awful monster contract :roll:

Thanks for the input

This is my team right now (12 man league):

Anthony Davis
Deron Williams
Tony Parker
Lance Stephenson
Kevin Martin
Jimmy Butler
Tristan Thompson
Deandre Jordan
Tyson Chandler
Kenneth Faried
Kobe Bryant
Tyreke Evans
Mario Chalmers
Metta World Peace

So I'm already holding Kobe, but at the same time my players are all doing quite well aside from Tyreke.

Best replacements for Tyson:

Zaza
Diaw (just saw that he's available)

[It's A VC3!!!]

I guess ESPN's prediction is realistic now. They must have known this was going to happen.

Isn't he limited for playing time right now? I thought they were easing him back doing 10 minutes a game right now?

[ILLsmak]

put melo at the 5 lol

-Smak

[It's A VC3!!!]

With Chandler on court, opponents averaging 92.9 points per 100 possessions. With Bargnani, 120.2 points per possession.

Yikes.

[niko]

No, ESPN prediction did not factor in injuries. Do you realize you just said "espn knew something"?

[HurricaneKid]

It's not a serious injury, it's just a fracture.

Its just a broken leg. Nothing serious.

You should be past DENIAL by now...

[It's A VC3!!!]

No, ESPN prediction did not factor in injuries. Do you realize you just said "espn knew something"?
It was a jab at the Knicks. They will play 21 games without Chandler. Going .500 would be a super wish for them but 4-8 games under .500 is likely during that span. This guy has been injury prone as of late and they have no back-up for him.

And ESPN doesn't know anything. They have maggots for writers.

[kNicKz]

He sprained his right knee.

At this point I'm almost feeling sorry for Knicks fans.. Almost.

I would never. Obnoxious fan base.

This.

[imdaman99]

fck, did we ask for your sympathy? fck off, NYC >>>> your shitty ass city, no doubt about it

lol ok calm down

[Clutch]

I hope we'll see Melo/Amare/Bargnani frontcourt at some point. Just to see how bad the defense and rebounding are going to be. :oldlol:

[imdaman99]

Melo's easily the best rebounder out of that group. So sad :lol

Felton's got the speed and weight to play C...so...

[alec613]

League has two official stretch 5s now in Pau and Bargs

[DMAVS41]

Hey Cuban haters...

Still think the Mavs should have signed this over-rated **** to a long term deal on near 15 million per season?

[alenleomessi]

leg fracture? it will probably be more than that..
i think its safe to say at this point that the pistons will have a higher seed

[alec613]

At this rate ESPN will start to look like gods

[HurricaneKid]

He sprained his right knee.

You should be past delusion by now

The press release specifically said fracture. A fracture is a broken bone. He has a broken bone in his leg. Period.

You should be past ANGER.

[HurricaneKid]

At this rate ESPN will start to look like gods

37 is going to look like a really high estimate in a month.

Take away the first half on opening night at home this has been arguably the worst team in the NBA this season.

Give it up. Tyson getting injured isn't funny, but the Knicks playing clownshoes Bargs at the center position for most of the game sure as hell is.

[bluechox2]

in b4 andrea makes allstar team

[tomtucker]

he was being a real asshole in that game.......hitting a dude in the head and staring him down after the hit ..........could it be karma :confusedshrug:

[iDunk]

Meh we'll survive. Its only the beginning of the season.

When we won 13 straight games last season Chandler wasn't even a part of it much, we were starting K-Mart. I just hope Cole Aldrich gets a chance.

[robert de niro]

it's a shame, he has been the only player putting some effort so far, but it's always fun to see the knicks struggle :lol
