[smoovegittar]

[absalom]

You guys should adapt the hornets as your secondary team. Walker and Stephenson are NY ballers. :cheers:

Biggest snub last year when he didn't make the NBA first team or get a single MVP joke.

[MellowYellow]

Pretty sure JR thinks he gets the points too if Jason Smith scores.

[Quizno]

imo al jefferson is the funnest post player to watch. he's so streaky, he can get hot really quick and make defenders look like fools in the post

[Quizno]

the **** is this melo needs some touches

[Real14]

Knicks gotta do better than this:facepalm Melo needs more touches. Knicks gonna still win tho:applause:

[Clutch]

I love this Amare - Jefferson battle. Neither one can do anything on defense :oldlol:

[MellowYellow]

nice shot melo :applause:

[HylianNightmare]

I love this Amare - Jefferson battle. Neither one can do anything on defense :oldlol:


it's hilarious

[HylianNightmare]

like seeing lance getting inside

[Sarcastic]

Al Jefferson double dribbles - no call.

Refs then call BS offensive foul on Melo.


This is one of those games where the refs are determining the winner.


:facepalm

[outbreak]

Someone told Lance that this wasn't pre season anymore during the half time break

[MellowYellow]

28-11 fta disparacy, freakin ridiculous.

[Sarcastic]

28-11 fta disparacy, freakin ridiculous.


21 fouls on the Knicks. 10 on the Bobcats.

[Real14]

28-11 fta disparacy, freakin ridiculous.
Reminds me of 2013 semis vs pacers:facepalm

[outbreak]

21 fouls on the Knicks. 10 on the Bobcats.

because if there's one thing the NBA loves it's rigging games for the small market team playing on the road......

[R.I.P]

Stephenson is killing us now. Should put Iman on him :mad:

[Sarcastic]

because if there's one thing the NBA loves it's rigging games for the small market team playing on the road......


I doubt the refs care about market size when they are betting on games.

[outbreak]

:roll:

why can't anyone just man up around here and admit that their team has given up more fouls because they're struggling to contain a quicker and more aggressive opponent?

[Sarcastic]

Are you even watching the game? The Bobcats have blatantly traveled, double dribbled, and fouled with no call from the refs.

[Sarcastic]

Henderson just literally fouled Smith twice on the drive to the basket. Only 1 of them were called.

[HylianNightmare]

ball don't lie

[Sarcastic]

Another BS offensive foul.

[outbreak]

are we watching the same game? I actually have money on the knicks today and want them to win.

[HylianNightmare]

[Knicksfever2010]

Melo doing work

[R.I.P]

Knicks moving without ball very slow. The triangle seem too complicate for them.

[Lebronxrings]

english seems too complicated for you

[outbreak]

english seems too complicated for you

Humorous come backs seem to complicated for you.

English isn't everyone's first language and your own reply uses incorrect grammar anyway.

[Real14]

Super Melo:cheers:

[HylianNightmare]

what a nail biter

[tpols]

knicks fans complaining all game.. charlotte gets fked at the end.

[Lebronxrings]

wow this game is fckin rigged. Just another knick game..

[ArbitraryWater]

That was horrible :facepalm

Yeah, blow a 5 second violation AFTER he released/inbounded it (at the 4 second mark)... Referee just ruined this entire game. Retard.

[Sarcastic]

Wow refs taking over the game.. bye.


They did that in the second quarter when the Knicks were blowing them out. Made the game close so we can have some drama.

[Quizno]

that was some absolute bullshit

[Real14]

Can't pass the ball inbounds niguhz? :biggums: Aah aah aaaah!!!!:oldlol:

[Lebronxrings]

its clear the nba is pushing the top market knicks into the playoffs. Just as i predicted... sigh, i feel for you hornet fans.

[Proctor]

Kemba gamewinner incoming

[imnew09]

Damn Knicks IQ is still pretty low

[KnicksWolves]

Def shady call from the ref. I'd like to get an explanation...but refs are not subject to that in the NBA.

[Sarcastic]

Cats get 29 free throws, and Knicks get 15, and people are saying it's rigged for the Knicks? :roll: :roll: :roll:

[sirkeelma]

95-93 Knicks. 16.6 sec. time left. Hornets' possession.
:banana:

[HylianNightmare]

what a Shitty shot

[Lebronxrings]

so what are the refs gonna fck up this time?

[Real14]

Lebrons stans come out of nowhere in this thread to complain:oldlol How phuckin ironic!:lol

[Clutch]

Last few Knicks possessions were horrible :facepalm

And with all this technology why is official still counting these 5 seconds ?
Make it automatic and make the horn sounds after the 5 seconds are up.

[R.I.P]

For Melo only. I don't know why refs always hate him.

[HylianNightmare]

Damn thought kemba would drill that

[sirkeelma]

Close enough Kemba!

[Lebronxrings]

well the nba got what they wanted.

[Lebronxrings]

holy sht, another no call. This is looking shady...

[Real14]

#knickstape to all you knicks fans and salty ass haters!:cheers:

[Quizno]

that was a great game

[dbugz]

Fckn walker! Ball hogging at it's finest.

Already fumbled and still dribble his way for a running awkward jump shot. :oldlol:

[mehyaM24]

jordan's premature celebration = paying huge dividends. :oldlol:

[Real14]

For Melo only. I don't know why refs always hate him.
Maybe cuz he's truly the best SF.

[Lebronxrings]

hornets got screwed hard...

Golden boy knicks getting another W. Thanks you refs.

you're acting like the knicks never got screwed.

[Real14]

2-1 baby!!!!

[rufuspaul]

Some real bullshit calls there at the end. You can tell who the refs had their money on.

i feel for you bro :cry: I remember watching the heat vs spurs series last year.

[R.I.P]

:cheers: another win, the future will be just better with Phil and Fisher! :cheers:

[MellowYellow]

That call made no difference in the game. Knicks have Melo, Hornets have Kemba. Game over, good night.

[Real14]

That call made no difference in the game. Knicks have Melo, Hornets have Kemba. Game over, good night.
And Al Jeff and Lance's dirty cheating ass.

[ArbitraryWater]

That call made no difference in the game. Knicks have Melo, Hornets have Kemba. Game over, good night.

Solid logic. Guess you can't really argue with that..

[rufuspaul]

The Knicks are the Cowboys of the NBA complete with the prerequisite cadre of asshole stans. We shall meet again.

beyond salty. stay class in charlotte

[aboss4real24]

cha still gt developing to do

[rufuspaul]

beyond salty. stay class in charlotte

Will do. :pimp:

[T_L_P]

Good W for the Knicks. Not 5 seconds imo but those are the breaks.

Don't like what I've seen from Lance, at all.

[aboss4real24]

iLL Take pleasure in seeing nyk sweep cha

[hawksdogsbraves]

Good W for the Knicks. Not 5 seconds imo but those are the breaks.

Don't like what I've seen from Lance, at all.

Near-triple doubles and a handful of boneheaded plays? What exactly did you expect from him?

Also I don't think I'm alone in thinking that Lance is exactly the sort of player who would overperform during a contract year.

[rufuspaul]

Good W for the Knicks. Not 5 seconds imo


Not even close. I don't mind losing a fair fight but come on! A blind, deaf official would have a hard time justifying that one.

[Knicksfever2010]

we get it, you dont have a life, and from your moms basement you probably yelled at her for dinner. You threw a hissy-fit when dinner was not promptly served and tonights game was the final straw for you. GOT IT!

[Y2Gezee]

I just counted the 5 second issue....good call. People are looking at the refs hand, instead of the true count. When he blue the play live to when Williams still had possession, was 5 seconds, damn near 6, the ref had a few hitches/delays in his hand count.

Rewind from when the ref tossed him the ball to the whistle. Good call. Not something, they usually would've called, but accurate.

[andremiller07]

For the first time ever I'm actually enjoying watching the Knicks bunch of scrappy mofo's just going out there battling, great games by Melo, Shump, Larkin and Sammy played terrific D on Big Al.

You almost never see that called though. In fact I can't recall ever seeing that called. Oh well, these judgment calls are part of the game. To win you have to beat your opponent as well as the officiating. Good game overall and it will be interesting to see how these teams progress until the next meeting.
