He will save us.





It worked for the last Knicks/Hawks game.

Can we finally win a f*cking home game ? It's been more than half of a month since we won at MSG.

[Dr. Ice]

despite the starters outscoring the knicks and the team in general outscoring the knicks by a ton in the paint, the hawks still loss thanks to a barrage of knicks long 2's. For some reason i dont think the knicks will be lucky enough to win again if the hawks lead in those stats again

If lou plays again that will be even more of a bonus for us, but i dont think he's playin on back-to-back games right now

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

blue skies ahead.....

[allabouthawks]

these jersey colours are actually hurting my eyes :cry:

[niko]

I thought my tv was broken but the jerseys are actually these colors.

[Sarcastic]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

blue skies ahead.....



Brandon Jennings' mad.

[Clutch]

Who's idiotic idea was to let teams play in almost identical jerseys ?

I'm against playing in orange jerseys at home but if we wear orange at least make the opposing team wear white or some color not similar to orange.

[niko]

In all seriousness, either put in another PG or let JR play PG. The way Felton is playing, is he really a PG anyway?

[niko]

I'm gonna regret this at some point, but I like Bargs.

[bagelred]

so who decided orange jerseys vs. red orange jerseys was a good idea? just wow.....

[bagelred]

I'm gonna regret this at some point, but I like Bargs.

I'm afraid to saying anything good, because it could all go bad quickly...but...yeah, I mean, right now where would they be without him.

He's just flatline too, looks so blank, could be someone visiting the house on jersey shore or something. But he's very skilled. Unfortunately no one taught him ever how to be a big.

[niko]

Amare. Try not to kill the game please.

[Ancient Legend]

Man those Rockettes are hot as hell, lot's of brief cametoe, but the commentary was telling with their little pauses.

Mike Breen: They are showing us a little... something
Frazier: Captivating the public with their... agility.

[niko]

Amare CANNOT play anymore. Ever. He has no value. He doesn't defend. People say that all the time about players but they mean they don't defend well. HE DOES NOT DEFEND AT ALL. He's essentially just empty space out there, it's worse than four on five because he demands the ball on offense.

PLEASE stop playing him.

[Clutch]

Amare comes in,2 point lead turns into a 7 point deficit.

I've been saying this for a long time and I'll say it again: DON'T PLAY AMARE AT ALL

I like how the Knicks battle hard in the 1st quarter just to stay even. Then bench/Amare' comes in and down 7 immediately.

[Blue&Orange]

nice to see that everyone outside bargs and Melo still garbage... even Prigi.

[kNicKz]

Amare needs to retire....

[Scoooter]

The Hawks have needed a real center for a while now. Horford is just no presence down low.

[kNicKz]

Kate Upton tho

[bagelred]

Fatton is so bad defensively...and people get on Bargnani's case? Felton is way worse.

[kNicKz]

Kmart!!!!

[bagelred]

That pass from Bargnani made me ejaculate...Damn it, gotta clean up

[Draz]

In my tv they both look like the same colors wtf

[Clutch]

Can't wait to watch some road games. These home games get me depressed.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Has JR smith really been as bad as his stat line? :facepalm

[kNicKz]

this is straight up embarrassing

[Clutch]

Amare comes in,deficit goes up to 11.

[fsvr54]

this is straight up embarrassing

Last game was embarrassing for the Hawks.

[magic14]

Amare 6 Minutes -15!!!!!!!!

[kNicKz]

wtf that was all ball

[kNicKz]

priggy smalls

[kNicKz]

Amare on defense

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[kNicKz]

**** jr smith

[WhySoInsecure?]

What's a good team to cheer for, I'm done with the Knicks.

[Blue&Orange]

this Knicks are an embarrassment to the game of basketball. Outside of Bargs and Melo everyone have been comically bad.

[Dr. Ice]

Like i said, the knicks were lucky to win the last game. The hawks are clearly the superior team and we see it now

[kNicKz]

[ClutchOver9000]

Literally everyone outside of Melo and Bargs are straight up ass...

Felton and Smith are holding this team back. A fat PG who's comically bad at defense, is a shitty shooter and lacks the ability to penetrate, and a pothead idiot 2-guard w/ a streaky shot who treats EVERY SINGLE possession like a game of 1v1.

We miss Chandler badly...

BTW Amar'e should honestly retire but of course he won't because he's getting paid.

[bagelred]

I feel an Iman Shumpert for Steve Francis trade on the horizon. :rockon:

Right after we get Isiah back in his office.

[Patrick Chewing]

Carmelo and J.R. can't shoot for shit. Brick city tonight and most nights.



TRADE CARMELO

[sportsfan76]

JR Smith is more suited for the NBA Street League

[Trentknicks]

Like i said, the knicks were lucky to win the last game. The hawks are clearly the superior team and we see it now
Don't flatter yourself, the Knicks are at a low point and when they pick up they are without doubt the better team.

Atlanta Hawks have never been anything better than an 'eh' playoff team.

[hawkfan]

They need to add a shooter to help spread the floor.

LOL what kkind of awful joke is this. I think I'm gonna throw up.

[niko]

TRADE CARMELO
Yes, trade him (which no one will give us much as he's free agent), clog the cap, have no second star if we sign someone else in free agency. That makes perfect sense. The worst that could happen if he leaves is we'll have huge cap space but instead let's fill that space with players and remove the possibility of ever having two stars.

That sounds fantastic. It's the worst possible outcome.

[niko]

Knicks need to replace Felton as the starter (with anyone), shorten the rotation to 8/9 people, Amare not being one of them.

Priggy
Shump
JR
Melo
Bargnani

Bench
Martin
Felton (or Udrih)
Hardaway

When you have a tall slow guy off the bench come in, but Cole in with him. Why not? These guys are just tall and take space, just match it.

NO AMARE. NOT AT ALL. I'm tired of watching him.

[Blue&Orange]

The way shumpert is playing, Steve Francis might be a upgrade.

Trade Amare for Bass and Wallace from the Celtics. If the Knicks don't like Bass, then next year he is an expirer and wouldn't be too hard to trade out.

[Sarcastic]

The way shumpert is playing, Steve Francis might be a upgrade.

He's been better the last few games. He needs a new coach that will help him out, rather than Bald FckFace who keeps the leash short, and still calls him "Rook", even though this is now his 3rd year in the league.
