I'd say you're an idiot. But I'm not that rude.

is that the kind of stuff that got you kicked of realgm?

A note of advice... agree/disagree, its all good. Bust someone's balls.. be my guest. Try to avoid talking to people in a way that you wouldnt if you were in real time. I'm pretty sure you would tone it down a bit if this was the real world.

Actually, ya. That is exactly the kind of stuff that got me kicked off.

Good call.

the year the knicks went to the finals, they were an 8th seed.

Why don't you go watch that DVD?

that ragtag team of other team's rejects put it together.

No reason it can't be done at any time...New York City is that kind of city (see 69 mets).

All we need to do is get into the playoffs...the fans and players and management and coaches all know what is at stake.

Just have to put it together.

that's all I'm saying.

Now stop crying.

That team had HEART. They had DEFENSIVE STOPPERS. They had VETERANS. They had Patrick ****in Ewing.

This thread should be renamed "The hoss vs. bobs debate thread".

LOL It reminds me of the gory posts back in the Scott LayDown days.

I guess it's too late to get back on topic...

that whole 99 8th seed thing is a total fallacy. Everyone knew that team was loaded and most picked them to be among if not at the top of the East. If Houston doesnt hit that floater JVG is fired and the rest is history.

yeah, I always felt like the run did more harm than good in some ways. It's led to this notion that all the Knicks need to do is sneak into the playoffs, and then, because they're the Knicks they can make a run to the Finals. It doesn't work that way. The 99 season was weird, and if it had been an 82 game season, the Knicks would've probably had homecourt advantage at least. They were so far and away the best team in the East it's not even funny.

Wow, I finally made it to the last page of this thread. Amazing how a thread about how much we need a pure shooter SG becomes a debate about Kwame, Jermaine Oneill, The '80 Celtics, age, and personal attacks. Just as in real life, when people stick to their ideas without trying to understand others' everything goes wrong...

I think Q is that shooting guard that can shoot.

In the Sun offense, his job was to stand there and wait for the kick out (much like Crawford was used early last year).

Q's the real deal.

I'm just bobbing and weaving jabs.

Comparing that team, is crazy they were deep at every position, had great defenders and size

Fowards-LJ, Kurt, Camby, Spree
Guards- Ward & Childs great defenders
Centers: Ewing and Dudley

And a good coach, that team was sick....Not to mention the finals would have been a different story if LJ, Childs weren't battling serious injuries and Ewing wasn't hurt

Too bad it didn't happen that year. We surely were loaded, unfortunately we weren't healthy. It was really an exciting run for a Knicks Fan, but from there on the perception was that NY just needed to retool to keep the playoffs streak alive, and we know what GMs did after that. Ward and Childs were great defensively. LJ was great posting up along with shooting threes ( a four point play anyone? ). Too bad it didn't happen that time. But things are looking better now. Hopefully we will have a new chance soon...

he's 19.. who gets it at 19? We know from this thread however that Kwame and Jermaine Oneil didnt. Maybe you add bob to that list?

i'm hoping when school starts up again, he's going to concentrate on his schoolwork and trying to get laid. and if he's posting 900 times in september, then either he's not concentrating on school or...well, sometimes it takes a while for a boy to become a man

bobs - stay in school. study hard. say no to most drugs. and always wear a jimmy hat and you'll be cool.
