Today the beat writers are all about TT and his newfound game heading back to Milwaukee whom gave him that contract.

His post game is being heralded as he has avg. 18 pts a game the last dozen or so games.

This cat does not rebound, and his passing from the post is the worst I have ever seen. I recognize he can score, but transparent defense, pathetic rebounding no sense passing to go with his gazy ass phuch-it-all clown like persona should not be lost in this days hype and I for one challange Isiah to move forward with out Miss Gazy at any cost. If he is a 15 min bench scrub I can live with it, but if we are not resigning him next year, and I doubt we are challanging for a title next year (I do expect better though), then lets move on.

We have proven we can lose with him, so whats the point!

I don't care if he has a great year next year during a contract year, he has proven to be fragile and inconsistant thru his whole career.

If Isiah reups him, then he is in denial about the charactor of some of his players and seriously will begin to questin his judgement!

I think his inconsistency kills the team the most. If you know what you are going to get from him every night, you can make up for his lack of rebounding. You cannot depend on him for anything. He has played well the last few weeks and he might do well in his contract year but that will be a red herring. He cannot be a starter for a championship team.

let's all hope the other teams out there buy into this crap & are fooled into thinking TT is a 18 ppg player now, so someone will take his lame arse off our hands in the offseason.

Tim seems to have all the skills, but whether it's a lack of motivation as a result of the stupid amount of money he has made, or a low basketball IQ, he hasn't been able to put it all together, and likely never will.

agreed

Here's a Tim Thomas in New York mix anyways, just for fun

almost every knick has no heart!

KT has heart (though i'm hoping he gets traded too)...JYD has heart a plenty...Malik Rose has heart...Trevor Ariza i think has heart (though he hasn't had a chance to show much of it yet)...& yes, Stephon Marbury has heart...it takes heart to throw yourself into the paint & get points banging up against guys twice your size on a nightly basis...he doesn't show it on defense though, which is his weakness...he'll also tend to shy away from taking the big shot in the closing seconds as he's demonstrated a couple times this season, but i wouldn't say he's lacking heart either...Crawford has heart too...he's fearless taking those big shots down the stretch...his defense is weak & he lacks focus on the floor, but he doesn't shy away from pressure.

TT on the other hand, just doesn't care enough about winning to show that he has any of these traits...he's just happy collecting his fat paycheck & padding his stats in meaningless games when there's no pressure or expectations...he's as fugazy as they come.

how about some perimeter defense so that redd doesnt light you uo for 32!

Gazy goes for 23 and 3 rebounds. NO offensive!

we need some guys with attitude, plain and simple. You can be a tough player and not be a good defender. Be clutch. TT is a disgrace. If I can trade him for Jalen Rose and one of Tor's first rounders I do that in a NY minute.

Jalen plays hard and despises losing. Even if we get Tor's 2nd first rounder that will be around 15. Very good shot at a guy like Petro there.

sign me up for that deal fish...i want TT out of here in the worst way...Rose is clutch, no matter what anyone says about him...his contract sucks, but for that 1st round pick i do it.

Would Toronto do that? Rose is the better player IMO and it's only one year. On another thread, I proposed a TT and Sweets for Rose and their #1. Would they do that?

As for TT, he is an absolute disgrace to the Knick uniform. The press is obviously running short on things to write about. Sure he has improved, but he is still pure crap for a guy with his potential.

2 reasons I think yes...
That one extra year is like $16mm. Thats a boat load of cash for a team like Tor. The other thing is the timing. If Tor does that deal they will have massive cap space at the end of next year to use BEFORE the have to offer Bosh an extension.

It makes a lot of sense for them I think.
