WOW... That's great. So you've got jokes. So what do you say if the Knicks play well and win? It's not unheard of. They could beat the Bulls. I expect the Knicks to play well.

Serious prediction: Knicks are reasonably competitive for 3 1/2 quarters, game slips away in fourth, Bulls win by 11.

That's like the David Lee days.

Nix you are so serious - why are you always against jokes / banter? Deep pain is subsided by humor. Relax, have a drink, loosen up, take a break from the stats for a minute and just let loose! Go Crazy!!

You'll enjoy it. Everyone needs a vacation from reality every so often.

I never vacation from reality.

You should try it. I do it every friday night.

I'm fine when i'm in a situation where i'm expecting a lot of humor, but I often don't get jokes that are sprung on me when i'm being serious. It's best if there's a smiley or something to help me get the intent of the post. It's a character flaw I have in real life. No doubt you've noticed that I don't get a lot of the sarcastic jokes that are posted.

when in doubt with my posts, just assume that I am either sarcastic or a prick. Both are relatively accurate assumptions

I am going to get really bummed if Lin does not get any meaningful PT tonight.

A few minutes end of first quarter would hit the spot for me.

Knicks 98
Bulls 92

So are you hoping for the Knicks losses or just D'Antoni getting fired? I think you should be hoping for a Knicks sweep. How can you care about a coach so much that you root for your team to lose? That doesn't make any sense. I mean unless MDA kicked your cat, I don't understand the hatred of the guy. He's just trying to get this team to win. He hasn't once done anything to hurt the team or franchise like Larry Brown was doing or even Isiah. Despite getting kicked around he's stayed positive and is still in there fighting to get this team on track.

I said "I am THINKING IF the Knicks go 0-3 . . . " No where in there do I say that I am hoping they go 0-3. All I am hoping for is that IF they do go 0-3, then Dantoni gets the axe. There is a difference!

Ok if you say so, but it's worded very strangely. You really do have to see how it reads like you are looking for the Knicks to lose so you can get your wish. GO KNICKS!!!

Not necessarily. That just means all the more reason why we should win and it will turn up the temperature on his hot seat a few more degrees if we lose.

nixluva wrote:Deng has been out for a while now. They've won games without him so it's not exactly a crippling loss. If Knicks win it's a legit win and no excuses if they lose. The Knicks just need to win this game. PERIOD.

Calm down man, they were just talking on the pre-game show that Deng has been the Bulls second leading scorer this year. I agree that a win is a win and everyone is playing with injured players and it would be a "legit" win. You may not agree, but you could imagine that losing to a team without their second leading scorer could possibly turn up the Fire Dantoni movement.

I can tell you are pro-Dantoni and that's cool. I am anti-Dantoni and believe that he is holding this team back from its' potential.

Let's agree, to disagree!
