why do they have KVH on the cover like its his fault, it should have been DON CHANEY OR HOUSTON !!!


-That's what I was thinking...Looks like he's the scapegoat for the cover.

i am not hating on kvh but i am just being realistic. that was one out of 82 games this season. he made his points against gooden. if he does the same tomorrow night against duncan and horry then i would be impressed. he is inconsistent. we know he will have good games. everybody has good games. did'nt willie burton score 50 points 7 years ago? where is he now? now, i am not comparing van horn to burton. all i am saying is that he was on that night. a true star would be on 95% of the time they are on the floor.is he that type of person? we need to wait until february and see his stats and the way the team is succeeding before we can have a parade for van horn the savior of the franchise.

Jazz, Vanhorn has just a little rope with you and a few others here, don't try and act like you guys wanna give him a fair shake. Van Horn playing for the knicks will get the ball where he wants it, plus he doesn't have a point guard hogging the ball making team mates wait until the shot clock is running down for them to recieve the ball. These are the things VanHorn needs to be able to produce for the amount of money he's making. Chaney will run plays for him and on the knicks he won't be an after thought like he was on Sixers team with IVO.

KVH had one good game. He'll have many others. He's a good, though seriously flawed, player, and I'm willing to believe the best we could get for Spree, who, like I've said before, needed to be traded as his value to a mediocre team like the Knicks is much lower than to a team with realistic aspirations to do something in the playoffs this season.

KVH is a very good shooter, he's quick for a guy his size, and he's got some nice moves from the wing. What KVH won't do is solve our crunch-time woes. Not on a consistent basis. He's not aggressive or confident enough. He also doesn't make players around him better. He's a mediocre passer at best, not a great help defender, and he doesn't always make the best decisions with the ball. We still don't have the guy who, when he has the ball in his hands w/ 10 seconds left and we're down 1, makes you feel confident as a fan. Don't know if we've had that guy since Clyde (though I loved Ewing and he was close).

So why make those statements about KVH , you can nick pick most guys in the NBA if you wanna find Faults. Has Vanhorn played in a game for the knicks where he had the ball in the last 10 seconds yet? So what is your point?

the point is that keith van horn is not a superstar. i think there are maybe twelve superstars in the league:

duncan
garnett
shaq
t-mac
bryant
iverson
kidd
nowitski
pierce
jermine o'neal
marbury
franchise

van horn is no where near any of their level. he might, and i stress might, be an all-star if he avg. 20 pts and 7 rbs in the east but that is it. you got me wrong, playa. i never hated van horn. he is good but he is inconsistent. wait throughout the year. if you prove me wrong, play, i will be the first to say that i am wrong. as a matter of fact i hope i am wrong and van horn will be a spetacular player but logic says that will not happen.

Take Marbury, Jermaine, and Francis off that list, as they are not superstars. Put Webber and Carter on it (even though I think they're both soft). The first three guys belong on the second-tier list, headed by Ben Wallace and former superstars like Malone and Payton. Francis is a lot like Marbury, a really talented athlete who can't get over himself to play the sport the way it needs to be played to win. Those guys need to remember that Magic Johnson didn't become a superstar by playing one-on-one ball. Lebron is on his way to making them look bad, by being a first-rate ball distributor.

Anyway, KVH is a solid player, and has been ever since he came into the league. The knock on him is how he disappears in the postseason, which will continue to be a knock until he proves otherwise (in the playoffs). These media idiots make it sound like the guy doesn't produce in regular games, which is revisionist and ludicrous. He is not, however, a superstar. The Knicks haven't had a superstar since Ewing. Spree may have been a media darling, and a really determined player, but he has always been, even in his prime with the Warriors, a second- or third-tier star.

If you can't get a superstar, at least fortify all your positions with top-notch guys. The Knicks, under the ownership of Dikhed Dolan, have fortified their roster with bench-players, and then overpaid them. Allan, KVH, McD are all starter-class players, but the rest of the team is bench-meat, even Kurt.

I think people swing too far one way or another on KVH. Somehow, he touches an emotional chord. Maybe it's the great white hope thing. Maybe the socks.

I'm not dogging him. He's got a lot to contribute. But don't believe he's some savior because he had one good game. He'll help the team in many ways, he'll hurt in others, net will be positive, but not the answer.

OK he's not a "superstar" in the league but I think he will be an all-star this yr. My beef is people are saying what he will do on the knicks based on what he did on teams that weren't good fits for his style of play. DEFNREB EXPLAINED IT QUITE WELL.

good. that is all i wanted to hear. you did make a good point that the core is solid with van horn, houston, mutumbo and dice. the big problem is everything else on the roster. oh, i took carter and webber off the list because being healthy for at least 70% of the season counts also.

Yeah, I know. LMAO
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Last night vs. the Cavs:

8 Points, 5 bards, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 1 steal, 2 fouls.

Wow... what a star. Where are all the KVH fanclub members that kept this thread up?

What happened to logging his game stats in this thread? LMAO

HARDCORE look at TMAC'S stats !!! Because he has had successive bad games does it make him a scrubb ??? HELL NO !! KVH had on bad game due to a blowout & sitting on the bench !!!! WHOOP DE DO !!!! The brotha is avg. 19pts & 8rebs & H2O is avg 28pts
What does DICK CHANEY & DON CHANEY have in common ?? They both accidentally fell into a job they don't deserve & really suck at doing it !!!! Both need to be fired !!!

I don't care about T-Mac's stats. KVH has that average after a few games, but didn't match anywhere as close as H20 did with his average.

Plus, we F***'n LOST. Bad.

Yeah, WHOOP-DE-DAMN-DO. Yeah I know...

No, what's silly is to believe that cat is a star.

BTW, Playa, this ship might only be righted by sinking this year. So far, so good.
