knicks will be dead tired tonight.
ben is not the biggest guy in the nba and if shaq can cry about fouls, so can ben. a foul is a foul - stop hating. why should other players get away with cheap fouls?
I dont know who you've been watching, but rip is nothing BUT a shooter.
chauncey is clutch
so what rip went 3/20? shooters shoot. there were no other scorers on the squas. the coach told him to keep shooting. no understanding of the game? rip won the ncaa championship at uconn. he was a lotto pick and has been money since.
key is play them man to man and make them do the same, no zones. if they zone out, we gotta have steph bust a few in their face from long range and let johnson do his thing, but dont let shandon shoot, not even a layup. he should just do his thing and defend the hell out of rip
Ok so you are ripping what I wrote.
Fine.
It's one thing if you are complaining about guys fouling you when you are making moves to the basket to score. Ben is a banger. All he does is foul. He rebounds, and block shots and then complains if you don't let him. I wish we had Mase, X-man ,Ewing and Oak in their primes just to put Ben on his butt. You can't contol the paint crying to the refs.
And about Rip. You only run a guy through 3 picks in one play if he is Reggie Miller or Ray Allen. Rip is a scorer not a jump shooter.
I hate when guys go out of their way to critizize someone else when they have no clue themselves. Don't try to get a rep off me.
By the way I agree about Chancey and the last paragraph about the game plan.
Man, i'm not ripping you or what you wrote. I just disagree tactfully. I'm not trying to "get a rep" from you or anyone else. I've been " reppin' " before you ever came on this scene - you could check my post count, but that doesnt count.
I agree with you. Ben is a banger. He fouls and doesnt get called for that either. Yes I wish we had Mase or Oak to show Ben something. Ewing wouldnt have done jack. When Starks was shooting Ewing's championship hopes away, he did nothing. Not post up. Not establish position. Not call for the ball. Not call a time out. Not get open. Ewing is another story though. The NBA has gone away from bangers like Oak, Mase, etc. for more athletic "euro-style" ballers. Ben is the last of the mohicans. Yeah, I wish he wouldnt cry. But he does, and everyone in the NBA does. Yeah, we all dislike millionaire whiners.
Now about rip. Rip is the closest thing to Reggie Miller in the NBA. He is a jump shooter. Rip is money. I dont think you should knock Rip. Yeah, he went 3-20 last time the knicks played him, but he's a very good shooter.
