reverse knicks curse

No. Knicks used to always overpay to keep marginal talent. Knicks dumped talent for better players.

Denver looks like they overpaid alot of marginal talent.

Wrong

Knicks never paid to keep talent, they let it go and/or traded/waived it.

(Ariza/Barnes/Frye/Lee/Nate/Hill/Fields/Lin/Gallo/Chandler/Moz/Douglas/AR/Rautins/Jordan/Jorts/Walker/Giddens/)

Some of these proved to be worth letting go, but as we can see we let go of some pretty good talent too

Knicks have always overpaid for someone else's unwanted talent and here's another kicker in almost all cases the talent has never been extended under our watch.

Last night the air ball by Gallo was maddening. Sometimes I just don't get what these young players think and it's moments like those where you can understand why some fans doubt their potential growth.

Neither really has any unwanted or lusted vet we've brought in over the yrs.

This year may finally be the year it pays off

Ariza does have a ring I believe and was huge during one of the Laker runs

Nate is on the Bulls and playing well

Lee has been Lee since leaving

Barnes has always been pretty solid no matter his stops

Hill was re-upped by the Lakers and was huge for them back half of the season last year

Some of the other youth yet to be determined and some guys are out of the league

Andrew Bynum said on Friday that he's experienced a setback in his rehab, and now has bone bruises in both his left and right knees.
Bynum's right knee has been the one giving him so much trouble, but it sounds like he overcompensated recently and wound up damaging his left knee. He also said he has "weakened cartilage" in both knees. He still hopes to resume basketball activities on Dec. 10, but there's no firm timetable for his return to action. Kwame Brown, Spencer Hawes and Lavoy Allen will continue to share minutes at center in his absence. Related: Kwame Brown, Spencer Hawes, Lavoy Allen

Wassup with Bynum? He doesn't look in shape but I guess he might be. I haven't been following him, other than the trade.

Lillard put himself into a situation to switch Parsons was the one guarding Lillard when he actually put up those shots. Not sure it would have made a difference. He did miss 2 of them but they made 1 more bigger shot in the end. Batum had too big a night probably the main reason they lost.

Syniko wrote:Lin played a great game and he was on point in defense. Sampson sitting Lin out for the entire OT was just absolutely bad coaching from any perspective. How do you sit out a starter for the entire 5 minute while a bench players gets all the minute?

Lin was playing one of his best game tonight and the coach benched him? WOW.

I like giving people the benefit of the doubt and don't like to ask this question, but Sampson is either racist or the dumbest coach in the NBA. I don't think he is dumb.
