I am not making Thomas out to be an All-Star

He is two inches shorter than eddy put possesses a motor and energy which are important in this league he like to challenge shots and plays good weakside defense...

Thomas 75blks 241rbs 35ass 876min
Eddy 39blks 504rbs 60ass 2530min

Ty.Ch 129blks 901rbs 66ass
Sammy 146blks 667rbs 52ass
A. Jeff 101blks 722rbs 82ass
LA 73blks 312rbs 24ass

Thats 1,654 more minutes and and he has 36 less blks than TT. His stats are not very impressive, in fact they are close to the worst in the entire nba in two areas that really matter. And acting like Eddy has really made progress is downright stupid, because he is scoring the ball better taken a few hundred more shots.

I agree with that. To be honest Balkman has outclass both of them and by many accounts shouldn't have been drafted.


Ty Thomas 5.1ppg 3.7rpg .5 apg .61spg 1.14bpg .473FG% .608FT% .000 3P% 13.3mpg
Balkman 4.6ppg 4.0rpg .6 apg .80spg .65bpg .500FG% .554FT% .192 3P% 15.1mpg

That's crazy right there and Ty Thomas actually been playing quite well this past couple of games to get his numbers up. How does Balkman average only 3 less rebounds per game than Curry. Balkman is shooting better than Ty and he is averaging more minutes!

I've been here for a long long time, and I would like to concider myself a REALIST. Im not a lover not a hater or watever you guys want to label.

This team has played hard 85-90% of the time this year, they have battled thru injuries, and have improved as the year has gone on. What more do you want? Sure they are frustrating at times but the roster is what it is. Accept it, and be happy at the effort these guys are giving us. We're STILL IN playoff contention and i see a lot of people jumping ship. NOW IS NOT THE TIME.

This is where it counts most, and the Knicks need our support - believe it or not. They have busted their asses a lot this year, its time they get some appreciation and some slack. We are missing 3 of our top 5 players. We are STILL IN IT

So lay off, get the pipe out of your collective *******s, go get a hug from somebody and lets get some positivity flowing around here. Godamn people, lighten up!!!!

GO KNICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know--but when you blow games to so-called poor teams @ home when you were +9 in the 4th Q---the ship still be stinkin and sinkin. Balkman with a VERY positive sign otherwise if marbury doesnt score 40 or Curry 30 no chance.

I totally support and root for them but my negative feelings come out every time they lose a close game or Isiah gets an extension before the end of the season. Dolan is a joke and he has made the Knicks a joke. People crack on the Knicks, and Thomas like they used to the Clippers and Elgin Baylor. They were joking about Dolan on ESPN 2 when the leg washed up on his property. I love what Balkman, Collins, and Marbury have been doing in recent games but it is hard not to be negative with the outcome of almost every Knick game down the stretch of a 'playoff run'.

"negative"X"negative"="Positive"

Example:
"Knicks lose" - negative
"Knicks lose a lot" - negative
"IT Gone" - positive

"Knicks lose"X"Knicks lose a lot"="IT Gone"

It's not negativity that is chasing people away. That's just opinion. It's the state-sanctioned trollery, like the thread that was just the bashing of misterearl for a week or two.

And those guys who ran that thread aren't even Knicks fans.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

I really enjoyed the "misterearl" thread.

Even misterearl was posting links to it on other boards.

Good stuff.

Quite frankly, I don't give a **** about this team anymore. There is always next season.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

I was wondering why misterearl had his own permanent thread going. But then - I didn't read the thread. I'm here to talk about basketball, not misterearl.

BasketballJones - I'm withchoo

I just want to talk Knicks Basketball.

Somehow, people get offended when I cheer too loud.

I am not offended when folks cheer loudly but it sure does feel like some get offended when folks put out some fair criticism of players, coaches, gms or team.
