Choke city.

Pierce won't know what to do, Ray is solid, but the creaky knees still stand, and KG has done nothing in the playoffs.

Playoff ball is very different. Those boys have talent, but is it the right talent? And who is the leader? Pierce is a moron, KG shrivels, and Ray Ray is not battle tested. Pierce is mentally soft, KG defers and the supporting cast is soft.

Knicks need to take care of their own business before they start giving it away to the Celts. Fans too, y'all soundiung pretty wussified on this.

What we doing this year anyway? .500? One round or two? Maybe? What, the Celts gonna knock us out of the Conf. finals?

nalod, i think pierce is one of the best "clutch" players in the league. he ranks near the top in game winning field goals and stuff like that throughout his history.

you put cassel + spree with kg, and you go to the WCF's. in the east, ray + pierce with kg can get you to the finals.

i think the way you have to look at it is this, do you have a lebron? a wade? a melo? dwight? some guy you can say, "ok, let's build around that guy". if the answer is no, then you need to start making moves.

the closest player ainge can say that about is al jefferson, and that's a pretty big stretch since he's really done nothing in the league yet.

ray has won and advanced in the playoffs before.
as did pierce.
as did kg (well once).

so bringing those 3 together probably won't be as big a risk as you may anticipate. all 3 of them are considered great teammates and ray + kg are considered team leaders.

We still have more talent on our team than boston if they do that deal.......

KG is better than Curry and Randolf
Pierce is better than a combination of Marbury and Crawford
Allen is better than every guard and foward on our team

Lets get a grip you could sign a few veteran role players and it wouldn't matter because allen is a spot up shooter, pierce is a slasher, kg is a post up face up team.

You bring a veteran pg like Brevin Knight in to distribute the ball and someone that just going to bang they come out of the east

He has to panic because as of now, and if the trade goes down we are not likely to make the playoffs

1. Bulls
2. Pistons
3. Cavs
4. Nets
5. Boston
6. Orlando
7. Toronto
8. Miami/Washington
9. Charlotte/New York

I think we can be beat Orlando and Charlotte. It will be a tough year to make the playoffs but Randolph is a huge upgrade over what Frye did last year and the entire team should be better prepared to start off strong, unlike last year when it took 20 games for the coaches and the players to all get on the same page.

some *insiders* are saying kg has agreed to a 3 year extension and they are just finalizing the details.

it looks like kg will be going to boston. absolutely nuts.

Agreed. Thanks for that reality check.

Doesn't matter because in the NBA you're only allowed five guys on the floor at once- and when you look at who wins Championships, its usually the team that has the best one or two players in the game.

KG, Allen & Pierce are better than the best three players we can put out there- Curry, Zach & who?

If those three can put it together during the season & stay healthy (two big IFS), then they are right there in the playoffs.
