This game came down to the Knicks running out of some steam and the Magic just turning up the defense to a level we could not handle.
Throw in three or four bad plays by Nate (passes, shots, fouls). Three bad ones by Chandler (two so stupid and horrendous you'd think he was a DLeaguer). Lee's atrocious defense.
...and the Magic had just enough Knick mistakes to capitalize on to take the game.
Now, two real big plays that stand out: The botched goaltending call on Wilcox's put back that was a clean play (2 points lost). Nate giving that chump Anthony Johnson 2 freebie points with 1.7 secs to go in the 3rd Q (2 more points lost).
You factor those in, mistakes down the stretch or not, the Knicks win the game. Doesn't take much to screw up a game in this league does it.
and, nate was sitting there yapping at him and lee when his focus should be on the game. bottom line - the knicks do not know how to win a close game. thats where good leadership and mental focus comes in, which the knicks have none.
Yup. When Q is your only leader left and Tim Thomas and Malik Rose were your other leaders.....you're just not going to keep it together as a team when things get rough.
No biggie, it's all about the future plan, but for a single game, they sure made a handful of really terrible decisions. That alone makes you question who, if anyone, is really considered a keeper.
i would think EVERYONE on this roster is replaceable
Except the Rooster. You gotta keep the Rooster on the roster.
what if he's rusty? are you gonna want a rusty rooster on the roster?
LOL.
Well, in regards to "keepers" I was alluding to the four supposed future players in Lee, Nate, Chandler, Gallo.
In that, I'll really let these four have it, just to illustrate in melodramatic fashion as to why I'm not so sure EITHER is a keeper!
Lee: One dimensional rebounder...he really is...we really overrated this guy.
Nate: Still so damn immature...selfish and stupid with the ball...he can lose you games and has done it.
Chandler: This guy is dumb as bricks and erratic. He did 3 things in the 4th Q against Orlando that had me furious because they were such STUPID FUCKING PLAYS that not even high school kids make those kinds of mistakes.
Gallo: To surgery or not to surgery or just collect my fat NBA paycheck and "rest and be re-evaluated in 2-4 weeks" while I coast to my 2010-2011 team option. Enough already. Go get surgery or ILL GIVE YOU SURGERY you pain in the ass! At least he's a 2010 expiring LOL.
When you really dig into these guys are any of them keepers? They show promise but they do it on a TERRIBLE LOSING team.
wow cosmic, tell us how you really feel! seriously, the more i think about it i believe only chandler and ****-a-doodle-do will be wearing the orange and blue next year.
