Oh this thread will be funny- just because of the responses to the headline alone.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Is anyone else terrified about AD guarding Elton Brand? Oh well, at least he'll foul out quickly. But seriously, I don't know if we have anyone to put on Brand. Frye would just pick up fouls at this point, Curry would be a joke. Maybe try Jackie Butler or Malik, just because of his strength. But Brand is so quick now. I kind of wish Sweetney was still here just to shut up people who ever compared Sweetney to Brand. Sweetney could never, even if he worked out for a million years straight, become what Brand is now.

that headline is very funny! but to kick things off my main points for winning this game r as follows:
1. contian brand in the post.
2. no offense rebs for brand.
3. no open 3 by mobley(he will make them)
Had enough Melo?

AD did a decent job on ZRandolph the last time we played POR. Brand is undersized, so I see AD, Rose, and Jackie Chan on him.

But Brand is much quicker, more athletic than Randolph. Brand is playing more like a bigger version of young LJ right now.

Starters for Tonight's game

Steph- consecutive starting streak will stay intact for one more night
Nate- Jamal is making our bench the best in the L.
Penny- Just to keep us guessing
Davis- I have no idea why he gets so much burn
James- The Big Game is back baby!

to me, jamal crawford earned and has earned a starters spot. he has one batch of inconsistent games, but the time has come to give him consistent minutes in the SL to KEEP him consistent. Nate is a back up player.

I dont know what to make of the Knicks--down once again for the TENTH game in a row double-digits in the third Q. Id like to see smarter play with more energy to start the game and a little better shuffling of players by LB. I understand that it doesnt matter who starts as long as guys get their minutes, but Id rather not start the game down 9-10 points 6 minutes in again.

I dont want to lose anymore. That time has gone by, we have enough to win games In past years I cant make that claim. We are no where nera perfect, but when you have the players who can give you a chance to get the job done--than it comes down to 48 minutes. Im a big fan of the way the Knicks gave effort in the 90s. They played hard and intimidated most clubs. I want us to get one more upgrade--SF 3rd or 4th g and let it start riding.

game 20 is right around the corner. the excuses for our tough schedule should be over after friday night. we need to start winning games and we need to start these 4 guys: steph, craw, frye, and curry. the SF spot is up for grabs but ideally, it should be ariza.

GET WITH THE PROGRAM ALREADY.

You guys will see how good of a shooter Woods is. They nicknamed him " baby Paja " down in the " dirty dirty ". To me he is Scottie Pippen on offense, long, athletic, can shoot the 3, drive to the hoop and pass to the open man, and run the wing on the break !! But defense is another story !!!
Isiah Thomas will lead us back to the playoffs in 2006 !!!

how about guys like dajuan wagner lenny cooke etc. these were premium amateur ballers who look the part of future nba superstars

until you do it in the nba,you arent crp. Q woods has played very well in the SL--so has skita, but has only a few games you can call productive in the nBA--he has alot to prove. If anything Id like to see a guy who can do some things on the offensive end to draw attention away from other guys coming off the bench--that would fullfil my initial expectation. I hold the 23 point 7 reb 4 a game predictions a little deep in the pocket. lets hope he can stay away from the chimba.

LOL great line Martin!! Start Butler and Frye. Jackie Chan all night baby!!

Seriously tho, SL will be

Steph
Nate
Malik
AD
Curry.

This is the first game I actually want to start AD over Frye, bc Channing will foul out in Big Game time against Brand. Start AD, a few rough 'n tough fouls later, bring on Channing for another 22 points. Lovely.

Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?
