Like Elton Brand. We dont have a guy on our roster with his talent, yet the Clippers are 5-2 with Tim Thomas getting Brand's minutes.

At least this isnt going to get drawn out. True to character our beloved Knicks are in the suck immediatly so something has to give

Hey man.. Balkman is as good as Brand. They just both impact the game in different ways. I would say Balkman might even impact the game in more ways and is better than Brand. Them missing Brand isn't even a blip on the radar, its a faloop.

Brand goes down and another player steps up. Kaman has been a beast on the boards and has become an 18 ppg guy.

I haven't really read anyone making excuses. Just stating facts, but no one is giving the team any slack for losing games. It's a long season tho and teams go thru ups and downs. Just cuz the Clips are doing well know doesn't mean that will continue and the same for the Knicks doing poorly.

What is is about guys here feeling it necessary to call people out without cause? I think this is a baiting tactic, which is really sad. It goes both ways tho. People who support the team and those who don't support this team and want to see it broken up. All it leads to is more fighting.

Dude, you got really angry whenever anyone said anything negative about our players all off-season. I don't think anyone used the caps lock and exclamation point more than you did. You can't be surprised that people are calling you out now.

because its fun.. same reason you do it. Or are you saying that when you post things about how great a season we are going to have as Curry is slimmed, etc and the REAL fans who have been behind all the team will prove they were right all along and the haters are just haters bla bla bla

Its 6 games into the season and your talking about get Wilson Chandler more involved.

This team needs to be gutted

Nix you had all this coming. After the Denver win you were sticking your chest out and defending.

What most "haters" harp is the culture is so bad for so long that no good was going to come from it. Nobody really thought that the season would blow up in the first two weeks but a culture that has these cast of characters can't be good. Your postitive attitude was long accepted for what it was but really hard to swallow. I have not read your posts for weeks now as it just not relevant. Your hopes are emotional but not based on what is real around here.

Your a good fan. Don't stop, maybe one day we can join you.

^^^ let me add... I desperatly WANT to join you. I remember thinking the same type of emotional thoughts and hopes envisioning a Houston/Spree perimeter attack with a 20/10 athletic PF like McDyess with some great blue collar vets like Ward, Harrington, Spoon and Kurt.

we all know how that turned out, and to be fair? That 37 win season was pretty impressive. That team played hard every night, they were in every game and they led the NBA in 3's made, 3 point %, fewest TOs, FT% and a couple others. That undertalented team played harder and better than anything Isiah has put on the floor.

Its just old man

You deserve whatever you get no matter how tough you hang in there. I will say you're not the only one. Throw Renbee, Cossucks, babyknicks into the mix also.

The main point in this thread is to show the injury excuse is a very weak excuse and should never be used especially on an even playing field. Instead of starting out slow the Clips are trying their best to give themselves a chance by playing hard now.

pfff, if we ever get back to a 37 win season again, with guys who play hard every night, people on this board will be declaring it "mission accomplished" and anointing Isiah Emperor for life.

If you're a betting man, I'd say the odds are Isiah will clean it up," the agent said. "But secondly, is it worth cleaning up?"

fish.mike - nice try.

Now can you please explain the struggling Miami Heat (missing a player) and Chicago Bulls (missing a center?) for those of us who you have identified as the usual suspects?

With this being 7 games into the season, how can so many of you who are LOVING this claim any victory? What is the point you're really trying to make, cuz there are other teams like us who are strugggling even worse than us. Teams that we all picked ahead of us. The season hasn't ended after 7 games.

I'll also add that as bad as the record is, that we're just a few plays from the record being the complete opposite too. it's not like we've been blown out of every game. Let's see how this team is doing after 20 games, which is a better reference point. I like to always take the season in qtrs.

My other point is that no matter how i've responded to others I've disagreed with, i'm not calling people out in thread titles as i've seen done with me and other numerous times. To me that's uncalled for, cuz this forum is about the Knicks not specific posters.

when we were missing Mike Sweetney we were just as good as we were without him... so much for your Elton Brand theory.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

We're actually a few plays from being 0-7.
