Net negative result? Nice! We need a like and dislike button added to this site for posts.

Anyway, yeah, fake thug debos? You've got to be kidding me. Let's make it -3.

-4 I noticed those pictures were ignored and most importantly, we're taking Kenyon comments as being a thug when he's more so talking about being a stand up teammate - standing up for the star of your team, which I have no doubt that he will back up those words. In the 90s we would have applauded these comments, and honestly, this is what's needed to go deep into the playoffs - all teams have a bulldog. I just can't understand why everything have to be turned into a negative.

Just waiting on Jr to win the sixth man and for it to somehow be turned into a debate.

What makes you think kmart is a fake thug? His history indicates otherwise. Im pretty sure he is aware that this was one of the main reasons he was brought in if not the reason

GUNS, I think kenyon is the one who may need to have someone get his back.. he has quick fuse and not much poise... No one is shooting another player on the court, no one fighting.. this is a battle of the mental... Boston has proven over and over again, they can win those battles.. kenyon on the other hand has proven, just like carmelo that they can be rattled... to the point of making costly non-basketball plays on the court.. at the wrong time...

No question about that. The knicks need to be menyally strong. They've proven this year that they are not and teams know it. Thats why the addition of Kmart is key. Teams are going to do a lot less talking in Melos ear unless their players like bloody noses

You're not actually agreeing with his point though. Hes saying Kmart is one of those guys that will get rattled and thrown off his game.

Oh no I vehemently disagree with that. Im posting on my phone and missed that part. There is nothing fake tough guy about kmart. If Kmart was still on the Knuggets those same guys would be raving about his toughness and protecting of his teammates. It is what it is

who has k mart protected guns? This fake tough guy stuff, getting tech's at the wrong time, doesn't make you tough.. it makes you stupid... how is k mart going to have anyone's back when he can't seem to keep his cool as well...

this is not MMA, this is a test of the will, a mental test.. name me one knick outside of kid who has proven himself tough, mentally tough in that area? and kid's role has been greatly diminished as the season moved along...

you know what, I have to agree with this post (at least for the most part). I know I'm contradicting myself here but, I remember thinking -seeing this guy get techs and ejected/suspended like he was in Jersey- what a fool.

But, watching him in Denver, he seemed to have develop some self control. The hard fouls were still there but, toned down and, no, I can't remember him ever protecting anyone but, I think his hard foul, don't give a "F" mentality had much the same effect.

and we will have to see what effect that will have.. One thing I had to come to understand, especially when we had Q rich and Zach, and they used to go at boston and Pierce, talking about how pierce isn't gangsta and how he couldn't do this or that in the streets.. well guess what? this isn't the streets! No one is fighting, no one is pulling a gun or knife (unless you are a dumbass like that crittendon who will be serving life hopefully for that shooting here in atlanta), I mean most of these guys are country club butt buddies..

now garnett and pierce come off as stand-offish type of douchebags, but that is their advantage over a lot of people.. they play hard, play dirty enough to push the envelope , but not go too far.. and you have to be mentally prepared to stay focused game in and game out to beat those guys....

you are either going to have to be just too talented for them( as in the case with the heat a couple of years ago) or if you are close in talent, as the knicks are, you are going to have to win the mental game, and that involves keeping your poise so you can play your game.. the knicks don't have the kind of talent to just go out there and beat them despite being rattled a bit.... we are not going to out talent boston.. we are going to have to grind it out in every facet and beat them.... and keeping cool is the first step... this is where I have my doubts..

that quote is off base.. you don't know anyone on here like that... who is k-mart honestly?
you could be talking to a guy on a forum who did 10 years in a mexican prison, a gang banger, a hit man.. you have no idea... saying stuff like " you wouldn't say it in his face" is absolutely ridiculous..... some things are not necessary at all, heck I wouldn't walk to jeff van gundy's face and say something negative about him.. doesn't ,mean I am scared of JVG and it certainly doesn't make him any tougher because I choose not to do so..... LOL.. just not really necessary... this is what the internet is all about.. voice your opinion.. not to prove how tough you are....

There is NOTHING that i say here about a player or another UK member that i wouldnt say to their face but hey maybe i just i live by a different set of man rules. Having an opinion from the den of your mother's house doesnt remove a sense of social responsibility.

I don't know Action - I'd be careful of that guy's e-Gallo. Last thing you need is for him to submit your email address to a spammer

tkf wrote:WELL THAT IS YOU...I am sure in life there are things you have said that you would not say to the person.. if you say that has never happened, then I don't believe you... you can try to play this macho man card, but I don't have time for that... it is ridiculous because none of us may never see kenyon martin face to face and if we do still may not have the opportunity to approach him.. so what is the use for such comments?

Oh i get it, calling out the players on their "Fake thuggery" is acceptable but calling YOU out on the same is apparently crossing the line. My bad...sorry

PS - not a card, I mean what i say & i say what i mean. Which is why i dont talk trash about the players (except for the ones at the UK pick-up games...sheesh those guys suck )

Knicks winning should shut him the F up and then he can go choke on some of Bill Russell's breakfast sausage in retirement.

For once can we all be PROUD of our team and see what they can get done this post season? This is the best group we've had in a long time and I believe in them. KMart adds so much to the mix so he can say what he wants, cuz i've seen him back it up with his play on the court!!!

Has KG ever in his history of being an NBA player ever gotten into it with somebody his own size???

Nope. He really does only pick on smaller players. That is the beauty in the Kmart signing and Nixluva has it right. Knicks got back tk playing tough shutdown D the 2nd Kmart put on the uniform. He is quick enough to execute Woodsons defensive strategy whereas he can guard all 5 positions where Tyson could nkt. Not his fault for being 7'1 and trying to guard 6ft pgs because the system is predicated on switching. Didnt help that Felton was relying too heavily on the switch instead of fighting over picks.

One of 2 things had to happen. Woidson change his entire defensive philosophy which we saw for a second when with amare we played zone but you dont just scrap what you worked so hard on since training camp. Or 2 add players that can execute the system. Knicks wisely chose the latter and the rest is history 15 of 16
