If he sits out this game and we lose this might have some bearing on the playoffs record and we need home court advantage. If we win both of these games,indy and bulls,who cares about the hornets?

The Somberistas will then point to the loss to one of the worst teams in the league as the pivotal point in the season where we lost the chance at a redemption chip.

Nice to know. Wonder why they're even playing the games...

Too funny.

The Knicks lost everybody, the Knicks already lost.

Game Over

Season Over.

Franchise Over.

NBA Collapses.

Somberistas then move to the hockey boards, on their way to the Hot Stove Baseball Fantasy League GM blog.

Redundantly Tiring. Very.
Hey, how about in this new year, each Somberite starts a completely, non-sarcastic positive Knicks thread?
In response, all us Dolan-hugging Knick homer fable groupies will try our hand at Melo hate threads?

I say, let the kids run tonight! JR and JWhite on the floor. We get them off balance early. And Woody threatens to skin any and everyone who doesn't defend the perimeter like a rabid animal for the whole time they are on the floor, no matter how low your SS# is.

Defend and push it. Allow NO spot up, check your feet, line up, test the windage three attempts! Contest EVERYTHING!

Clyde used to say, '10' them off the floor!

Bottom line, to beat a quality team without Melo we have to play mistake free. Limit turnovers, get Chandler easy buckets< Novak has to hit shots and JR has to do his thing. I don't count on much from STAT, but isn't it strange that no one is even discussing him as someone that needs to step up tonight? He'll only have 15-20 minutes, but hopefully they are quality minutes.

We'll need him to step to the plate and deliver at least half of Melo's average, and the rest split amongst the rest of the team.

Serious question - I didnt watch much of the Bulls outside of nationally televised games when Brewer was with them. Was he really a lock-down defender?

No. Was forced to start a while when Rose went down in season. Was quickly replaced in the starting lineup by Jimmy Butler

Ok maybe lock-down defender was the wrong term but he was at least a great defender, no? When we signed him all I heard was how his defense would help our team a lot.
