Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The team looks very good right now but we still have to see if they are better or worse when Melo returns.

All players have weaknesses. Maybe he commits 1 or 1.5 bad fouls a game. I said he was a serviceable bench player, not a starter.

man, when i say "dumbest fouls" i mean, shot clock winding down, foul the guy who's taking a fade-away 3 pointer type fouls. dude was bad.


He committed 1.0 fouls per game. How big an impact could that have had? You're making it sound like it would cause the opponents to score an extra 15 points a game.

no i'm just making it sound like he committed really dumb fouls. he didn't play large enough minutes to really an impact. it's just something that stuck out to me.


OK, that's a fair point then.

There is no role for Balkman on this time. Kinf of like Lin in Golden State. Too many guys ahead of him so he is never going to play. Unless he's a locker room superstar there is no reason to keep him. Said this yesterday. And yes, I called it. Maybe now Balkman can go somehwere where he can get a shot and get that team all juiced about Balksanity.

Bibby stinks. but if Baron can't come back at least you have someone that can run the point for a short period of time and fill some spot minutes. No need to compare the talent of Bibby and Balkman. It's irrelevant. Bibby has a role, Balkman does not.

I just hope that people will like me

Bibby kept in case Lin gets hurt. Or Davis.

Balk worthless.

Balkman is not worthless. Are you die hard enough to have watched EVERY GAME. If you are, then you know that when Balk was getting play earlier in the season, he performed well, rebounded, defended and had a few put backs. He's definitely more productive than Bibby who has shown that A: He is no longer a viable ball handle. B: He can't hit the broadside of a barn anymore.

You cut the least valuable player on the team and Balk has proven when giving playing time that he will be the more productive of the two.

NOW, with that said, I believe Balk will be the one cut

him and andrew are die hard enough to pay for, run, and constantly work on this site. nuff said.

your point is ass off point as the one your defending. He made an incorrect statement and what are you, his bodyguard.

now wait a second, who are you again?

the point of my post was to show just how stupid and idiotic your statement "Are you die hard enough to have watched EVERY GAME. If you are" is. what creating, running and pay for this site doesn't prove enough? they don't need me to say anything for them, but when i see stupid **** like this, i'll say something, because it is what it is - stupid. who are you to question anyones "die hard" fandom?

MAN UP!

There was no such person, I don't think.

There exists such a man. But not Bonn nor the other guy in this thread.

It was someone pushing hard.

First, I did think because Balkman, at the beginning of the season, actually seemed interested in scoring points, that he could get some minutes this year in place of the one dimensional JJ. But JJ had also significantly improved on his offense, plus Jorts' had much faster footwork than I would have expected on defense, so Balkman was stuck on the bench.

Second, I never expected Toney Douglas to fall in as big of a slump as he is now. I wonder if he is seriously injured?

Finally, I never in my wildest dreams thought Jeremy Lin would turn into such a great point guard.

Sorry that I wasn't able to nail all of my predictions.

The Knicks should have passed on JR, and just signed Morris Almond.

Didn't they bring Almond into camp before the 10-11 season and he didn't make the team?

I was just looking up Almond's stats two days ago when we were hot on JR's tail. Didn't look very impressive from beyond he arc

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