.Sombers enjoyed the season also! "Being a few pieces away", thats always been your rallying call......"wait until next year!" Lame.
Correction: Sombers enjoyed three game losing streaks! Notice the migration to "your" and "we". Apparently Centist-ism is dead!
Nalod wrote:Blame Charles Barkley for not giving enough cred. He sucks because he's still butthurt by getting the broom pulled out on him in '89!
"Butthole" really? The sweep still feel good to the homer? Charles called it, "knicks not gettng past 2nd round and Indiana the 2nd best in the east" Called it.
We are actually going to debate Charley's documented Knick hate? Charles Barkley is now a harbinger of the truth? We talkin' bout Charles?
"Nets will have a better record than the Knicks" He called that one too. Do we really need to google +Barkley +"dumb things"?
Nalod wrote:The Homers enjoyed the regular season from a nice view of enjoying the ride and pointing out constructive criticism to the roster where applicable
Same as the Somber. WE are not haters, we watch games and enjoy them. We want Melo to be Mooby. Really!
Hi, the game threads beg to differ.
Nalod wrote:A nice season and no surprise when the aging injury plagued roster around our MVP candidate crumbles once the playoffs begin.
What Injuries? Amare was out all year and we did great without him! Kurt? Rashweed? Camby all season long non factors! The Somber recognize injuries before the starts. Its gonna happen when you recognize the reality that its the oldest team in the history of the NBA!!!!!! Homers can ignore that. A somber see's it. Haters love it.
Kurt? who was hailed for single-handedly salvaging the season during the West Coast nightmare trip and getting JR's mind right?
Sheed? who started the start of the season, rode the bench and was Mr. Whiteboard?
Camby? Who contributed to some wins and still have folks scratching their heads at his non-use?
Sombers cried old! Sombers cried this is not real basketball! Then 18-6 happened. Then three to the head happened. The blow it up threads had to wait until the all star break. But they came.
Nalod wrote:All Somberites have is the Knicks went one less round than the Heat, Pacers, Grizzlies and Spurs who all have superior rosters.
Not sure what you mean by that. Yes, they are superior. We see it. We don't blame Woodson or the Refs.
Simple Somber blindness to anything that smacks of less than a ring, less than whatever the bar happened to be raised to this week.
Division? bleh
2nd seed? bleh
2nd round? bleh
We blame Melo. It's warm and cozy and it fits like those expensive Italian shoes.
Nalod wrote:We still have 6th man of the year and the NBA leading scorer.
Yes we Do. Put that in JR's pipe and smoke it! Leading scorer we have. Its great right! Whoo Hoo! Somber knows teams with leading scorers that are not Centers or Named Jordan usually don't go far in the playoffs. Homers think they do.
JR the bonehead wins a trophy! Sombers never saw that one coming! Flashes of brilliance! Homers post vids of vintage dunks we haven't seen since Starks!
Sombers smirk, shake heads and move on to next Melo hate thread.
Sombers had fun for miles pointing and laughing at Melo warm up jacket without badges! He gets a badge, and suddenly, badges don't mean anything!
Homers also saw AI go to the Finals.
Homers also saw Dirk go to and win the Finals. He scored pretty well from what Homers can see. Last time Homers checked, neither of them were named Jordan or played the 5.
Nalod wrote:We have a strong enough team around our Mooby, we simply have to stay the course, and improve by tweaks and micro transactions.
Tyson disagrees, Boehiem disagrees, Barkely disagrees, and JR not talking. Tweeks and micro improvements are nice. I guess none of the other teams do this either. Nobody gets better but the knicks?
Tyson is an angry man, still removing the bloody toilet paper wadding from his six game stay at the Hibbert Beeyatch School of Cell Block Relations. Blame teammates! Blame the coaches! Blame the security guards!
Barkley, again? How them Nets doing? Who He Play Wit?
Sorry, but Boehiem would make most Homer's cringe with his level of Melo love. Thanks for playing wannabe-GM Jim, how's retirement going?
JR's not talking, but his brother's agent surely is! Real loud too!
Nalod wrote:Look up the early career of Kevin Garnet, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Dirk Nowitzki......
Add three of the four on a team and you get one! What did boston do to get them? Drafted players, saved picks, developed assets and traded for them. Sombers like to draft players, keep picks and don't mind trades. Boston won. Boston had a rookie pg. Ours are old enough to be his father. Look at the early career of Glenn Robinson, Glen Rice, Mcgrady, Dantly..........Leading scorers who never won either.
I'm sorry, Homers thought Boston was the original Starphucque, weren't they? Thanks, Kevin McHale! Danny says Hi! Sombers seem to forget stuff like that when it's convenient.
Yes, yes, Rondo is the invisible Jesus we just don't have. Well, we almost had Jeremy the Baptist, but he moved to Houston. By Golly, I didn't know Felton was fathering kids at 4 years old! Sombers are really good at math, aint they? Dayum, but by the way, isn't that Melo a loser?
AI and Dirk say hello! Again!

Homers root. Like pigs around Dolan's sty.
Sombers are the voice of reason, rationale and sabermetrics. Don't forget Melo's FG% sux!

Please kneel in your Somber pew and start the next "I wonder what Houston's off season moves are going to be" thread.
