The wierder thing is, if the Knicks had made something along the lines of what the Nyets did with old, castoff PP and KG, the high volume posting folks on here would be foaming about being on the way to a sure chip.

If they get the Pierce from last season, they won't be getting as much as the media is making it seem. As for KG, dude just isn't offensive minded enough. I remember Doc damn near begging him to take more shots only to see KG act almost passive on the offensive end last season. Maybe its his age and the fact that he puts so much work on the defensive end but, I just don't see them as being offensive Juggernauts. I expect Shump to be jacking Pierce for his lunch money this season.

Also I'm very sick of his patented move of putting his hands in the air while pushing people with his body & all the while professing his innocence with the refs.

It's the fact he's allowed to get away with stuff that other players aren't that annoys me- why does he get special rules (like Hibbert in the playoffs, with that 'straight up' BS). JR got suspended a game for elbowing Terry, but I saw KG elbow Shump about 3 times in the head and face in a 2 minute span, and he gets nothing called on him!

Sheed was a very good player but I could not stand his game and whining to refs.

Then he becomes a knick and Im supposed to love him? I admit, I warmed up to him.
And Melo.
And Kidd.
Marbury was an azzhole before he got here and he did little to improve his image as a knick.

I read some threads here and there on the UK about some wanting Rondo?

KG an Pierce were top dogs on my villian list but I softened up a bit by learing to appreciate their game.

As I did for melo, Sheed, Kidd.......and now Bargnani.

So the trash talk bother me? Naw, its kid of fun! Look forward to the games!

“My dislike for the Knicks is more now because it’s right across the river,” Pierce said during an interview on the Michael Kay Show on ESPN Radio. “The rivalry is going to go to a new level.”

The feeling is mutual.

Last year the "rivalry" never really came because the games were early and Hurricane Sandy obviously took priority!

Now we got the two boston villians and two teams that should figure to compete for the atlantic!

For a rivalry to exist important games must be played.

We can only hope for a playoff series!!!!

I think ESPN had a pole that had Nets 4th and knicks 5th. Gotta figure HOme court won't facter in as neither team has to travel.

For real on the playground this sort of stuff ends in violence & the threat of such acts as the ultimate deterrent. I hope that real BK people recognize that this guy is a punk & not worthy of their support

are you allowed to put your hand on a player in the post like that? i think garnett was objecting to a hand check.

i love his competitive fire and desire to win. if it comes across as a negative to you i wonder if you would feel differently if he was a knickerbocker.

My favorite KG moment was after winning the title in 08' he had a moment to be interviewd and flubbed his line:

Boston Celtics star Kevin Garnett, in a very emotional moment after the team clinched the NBA title over the Lakers on Tuesday, screamed in response to a question by ABC reporter Michele Tafoya: “Anything’s possible!”

To emphasize, he repeated it, looking to the sky: “Anything’s possibbbaaaaaawwwwww!”

CNBC reporter Darren Rovell doubts that it was all so spontaneous.

He points out that adidas’ slogan, “Impossible Is Nothing,” is what they’ve been using to push Garnett’s shoes in their ad campaign for the past few years.

Meaning, there’s reason to believe that Garnett, even after taking the long pause to gather himself, messed up what he really was trying to say.

A few of us in the room all caught it because you could see it on his face! It was very funny!

It was to be his "going to Disneyland" moment but he blew the line!
