i understand the knicks don't have the talent. but a play or two here and there won't hurt. i don't think you can just trot out the same players with the same plays every single night if the talent to dominate with that play isn't there. it's basically, keep running it, if the shots go in, good, if not, oh well, i'm not going to draw up anything else.

Problem is these guys will take every open 3 given to them and forget to take it to the basket and put legitimate pressure on the defense. Really takes the pressure of the defenders

Okay, Fine, I'll call him a bum then.

I'm just pissed off at this mess of a game.

From getting blown out early to getting every chance to take the game back over to just being idiots about it and chucking shots that led to falling back behind.

And watching these OKC fans... I have mixed emotions. On the one hand I want to nuke that forum for these idiots jumping around like its game 7 of the NBA finals.... and giving them props for being so passionate even though their team is ****.

Oh well.... Knicks suck. Could we expect any different? Beat the Celtics, get blown out by the Thunder. This is our legacy.

In 2010 we trust.

Classic Knicks. Fall behind by 20, cut it close and then falter at the end. Against a bad team to boot. Nice.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

isn't that a problem with the coaching?

Maybe, but maybe its also the players getting lazy.....I think Duhon sometimes takes 3's cause he's tired.

I think this game seals the deal as to whether this team can have a post-season. I don't understand how the Knicks beat the best team in the league and then lose to the worst. Infuriating

It's still new to them. I give it 4 years before Stern is trying to figure out a way to get more money out of Dolan to help save another failing franchise.

And Al takes a lot of 3's cause he's never met a shot he didn't like.

MDA wins with talent and if we hit threes. He isnt going to outcoach anyone in a game. If our shots are falling we win if not we get beat. We will be the old San diego Chargers with Air Coryell. One dimensional but fun to watch

celtics are in a funk. they lost to golden state and portland (w/o roy) on the road before losing to the knicks and tonight, they lost to the bobcats.

Knicks got outrebounded pretty badly too. David isn't getting a ton of support on the boards. It's pretty obvious they need another big and at least one sharpshooter.

It's a problem with the players. The system gives you wide open looks. You need players who can make them. Ours...can't.

Where are you going with this DJ? Hate the coach? Want him gone? If so, well, I dunno what to tell ya...he's here for the duration this go around. Signed for four years? Here for four years.

Get him the right players it will work.

2010 we trust? Let's hope so.

you should have read my keys on the other forum after we beat the celts. I predicted we get our teeth kicked in.. those were my exact words..

It is the same story.. I hate to say this, I would consider moving lee and nate, so we can just start over. for some reason maybe those guys can't shake thelosing.... while we are at it, just cut curry and Q... anything that was associated with the isiah era of losing..

Durant 11-15FG

I guess doubling down on trash like Swift and Wilcox was a good idea? Eh, maybe not.

TKF, I'm not sure if it was you or Cos that coined this phrase, but is this another example of basketball ADD or something?
