Losing 12 of 16 games before the break was just what us fans needed. Maybe now the GM will act.

Act? How and why?

Pull an Isiah and trade our ~50M+ expirings for Zach Randolph, Corey Maggette, Baron Davis?

Come'on now.

This is all about 2010. The only thing Walsh will do is field calls turning Jared Jeffries or Eddy Curry into more 2010 expiring.

D'Antoni said that he didn't get shots for the players he wanted for in OT.

If a team reflects their coach...then they seem to be 'confused' Listened on 1050...commentators said Knicks were trying to beat the Kings as soloists. The Kings were playing as a team

His forearm. It's been iced half the game. No idea what happened, how it happened, or what is wrong. Official status is "Will be re-evaluated after the game."

No real clue what happened.

On the Jeffries play, it was designed for Nate to get to the rim. Strange that he would call that since he didn't have success all night with going to the basket.

Our roster is filled with solo players.

EXPIRING solo players.


At least David Lee got his double double! While giving up a combined triple triple to the opponent as usual. This guy is an absolute bum in the end. NBA playoff teams are about getting stops. David Lee puts out the red carpet. Enough already. I wish we could fool a team into trading him for say a top 5 lotto pick.

jeffreis man left him and all the kings clogged the paint. as nate made his move, chandler inexplicably ran to the basket also allowing his guy to collapse the paint also. that was a total clusterfrick...no way that play was on nate. he found the wide open guy who took the shot instead of re-setting.

We all know three things:

1) It's all about 2010.

2) Still hoping to reduce more salary by the trade deadline, so, until the deadline passes (next thursday) everyone who can be traded will play.

3) Until mathematically eliminated the team won't shift focus. Unfortunately even the worst teams aren't mathematically eliminated until April.

.......well, whatever. It's all about finishing off the bad salary mistakes of the past and building a new team. So, as painful as this is, there is finally a TRUE light at the end of the tunnel. Not an Isiah "one more MLE signing" light of the oncoming train.

You cannot fault the man for finding and hitting the open man. That's what he is supposed to do.

Agreed. No reason for Jeffries to force that shot up. There was plenty of time still on the clock. he could have pulled out and re-set the play.

I think the play was designed to Nate to get to the rim. That's why Chandler ran to the rim for the rebound if necessary or assist play. I don't think the ball was suppose to go back out.

Yeah, I think Jeffries just panic and was feeling good from 3. I think Nate also panic by giving up his dribble. I don't think anyone else was suppose to touch it.
