how insane is it, the though of actually wanting Jarad to start is crazy. What a difference a decent point guard makes and, how sad is it that we have been starved of good point play since WELL before the Isiah era. You have to go back to Rod Strickland for that.
the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

When Baron drained the three, was he making a 'smoking a J'" gesture with his hand? isn't that a big no-no in the league?

Come on now, I'm new to this board and didn't panic with the loss. (tho i guess i'm just speaking for myself) I expected there to be an adjustment period with Melo's returning. I personally found it funny how no matter how individuals performed, every recent loss will be blamed on Melo! I think the Knicks will be in adjustment period for a while because of Lin, but we'll be fine.

The crazy swings and inane topics are what made me take a break earlier. There's no sense of reason in regard to this team or this season. 2 games with new additions and no practice and there seems to be no recognition of that fact. This isn't the way this team is gonna look a month from now or 2 months from now. We have to allow the coaching staff and the players to come together.

The NYKnicks season starts after the all star break.

Everything else is just training camp.

I do think it is the influx of new posters... many of whom are casual fans. Some are probably hopping over from RealGM (or similar), where you have to say something both ridiculous and extreme to get noticed, which is pretty tough when the bandwagon is overflowing

What it comes down to is whether you believe Amare will produce at the level needed or not in the foreseeable future starting now! The problem with him are huge: No defense, uninsured contract and now declining production. I don't want to blow up the team because of a few bad games. But I am no longer convinced of his game in the long term. His salary keeps us from doing anything, may even force us to release some younger players at year end because of his cap hold. I love Amare but if you make that type of money you need to produce at that level. He never played any D and now he barely has any O in his game. We can wait till later but his value won't go up and the potential of trading him will keep falling.

Unlike Meli he doesn't make me think he can go for 30+ in any given game. And with the type of money he makes that's a concern.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

or fake fans. Being a Knicks fans is more like a vocation than a hobby or whatever you'd call it. Certain things come with it, sort of like Life which, includes death and taxes.

Being a Knick fan means You will feel like you've been kicked in the nutz. You will feel like the love of your life just dumped you for the guy across the street that looks like Napoleon Dynamite. Being a Knick fan means that when you wear your Jersey's and Knick gear outside of New York you may get jokes. Being a Knick fan means your buddy who used to be a Knick fan will take great joy and pleasure and telling you how bad the Knicks are.

Everyone pretty much takes pleasure from our troubles because of the little dyke syndrome to an extent because not everyone can live in the greatest city in the world. Not everyone lived through all those Yankee championships. New York sports has had so many awesome moments it's hard not to be a little jealous. Even subconsciously.

Naw man, he was "Miming" using a hand jesture technique to simulate the ejaculation of semon into his mouth.

Given the rules as not to offend, its permissable.

Pretty sure he was hitting the J, figuratively and literally:

I agree with the OP. I give the Nets credit but they seemed to ahve the luck of the irish on their side last night. i mean they shot 50% from 3 which almost never happenes. the refs were horrible, Also the knicks helped the nets out byt missing about 15 easy shots. It will be fine

I stayed off the board after the loss last night cause I knew the overreaction to ONE game would come. Trade the whole roster, Amare Sucks, Melo ruined it, etc. Knew this would come. At least wait for a pattern to start reacting. they've won 8 of the last 10. Give the team a break already.

I recall someone saying Baron Davis sucks last night after 7 minutes played in the first half after a long injury hiatus. LOL..just ridiculous.

he wasn't bad but i didn't like the flashy passes because it cost us a three pointer at the end of the quarter which could have been a momentum changer

The thing that frustrates me is the mischaracterization of many of the critics' comments as panicking to one recent game when many of us have been saying the same thing for months or years.

I think your right about chemistry. My solution...bring Amare off the bench, insert Jeffries and the defense and chemistry in the first unit will be ok. Amare was better off when he was playing center last season which, might have a little bit (not much) of the dip in production. Bring him off the bench at center to anchor the 2nd unit.

i think amar'e off the bench is what needs to happen. but it can't happen. it. can't. happen.

d'antoni needs amar'e on his side for locker room stuff. even tyson calls amar'e the team leader.

there's just no way it can happen.

i think best case scenario d'antoni plays amar'e like 28 minutes to keep him "fresh".

Sad when your fearless leader has no interest in playing defense or boxing out.

looking at his lateral movement, i'm worried it's more a case of "is no longer able to"...

but, yeah, you have a point. BUT, if you listen to the player's comments all year, amar'e has been preaching d'antoni's system - almost sounds like he's talking to melo directly. the knicks need someone to talk to melo. in that sense amar'e is needed.

Amare seems like a good guy but he is more of the problem than Melo. Melo plays defense (at least sometimes) and I think will eventually blend. You can't be a true leader if it does not start on Defense. Tyson is a leader because he quaterbacks the defense. Amare just backs away on opposing layups and dunks. And, can he once put his ASS on a guy and BOX OUT!! What the Phuck!!

NOT COOL!
