Rumor has it Kenyon wants to go West to avoid running into Tim Thomas on the street.

lol

Please, no more happy faces or 2nd grade aol lingo.

As for the thread, Tim Thomas is a New York Knick. He gives excitement, length, and youth from the 3 spot. When was the last time you saw a Knick drive the lane and elevate above the rim and slam it home in traffic like TT did this season for us a few times. I haven't seen that, aside from the Starks over MJ, from early 90s till TT. Sure, he has his flaws, but how can you bash a Knick.

As for the fugazy comments, he was trying to fire up his team that were getting their butts kicked in the playoffs and it backfired on him. I agree that it was crap that nobody shoved Kmart after that foul. IT WAS THE PLAYOFFS. What happened to the no-layup rule of the 90s. Throughout that whole series they didn't let us get a layup and we let them get to our rim unharmed. I specifically remember Marbury trying to carry us back, getting into the lane, and getting hammered. It was such a hard foul (not dirty) that he went into the lane the next time and missed a clean layup in fear of getting hit. This is what we should've done. I also remember Kerry Kittles ahead of the pack going up for a dunk and KT right next to him. KT just backed off. You have got to hammer him to the floor, make him earn his two points, and make him think about going into the lane again. Our supposed toughest player allowed a free layup.

We were, and still are, a fairly soft team. Hopefully Sweets, Marbury, Ariza, and whoever Isiah aquires will change that next season. In closing, TT should not have made those comments if he couldn't come back and play that series. At the time, however, I was happy he did. A teammate calling out other teammates to step up to the plate, be physical, and try to get back in the series. TT will come out next season with something to prove and maybe he will finally live up to the expectations.

me too. nice post ray 15 btw.

Well, from my part I laughed because it was a funny comment, but I didn't really found it bashing Tim Thomas. In other threads Tim Thomas is called fugazy and thats bashing him. But I find that saying that K-Mart is afraid of running into Tim Thomas on the street is jusk a joke that doesn't bash TT. In fact, the one bashed here is K-Mart for being a coward. Just to explain my .

I really hope so. What really surprised me about TT's comments was that he directed his attack to K-Mart, who I think wasn't directly involved in the controversial foul. We don't really know what exactly happened, though. Anyway, Im really interested in seeing how will Tim Thomas respond to what happened in the playoffs. If that doesn't make him shake off his tag of being an underachiever and work hard I don't know what else will. I know he is a Knick, and I really like him because he is still young and still has the potential to be a star if he wants, but if he doesn't get inspired by K-Mart, who I really dislike, and his trash-talking, I will be very dissapointed. He would only prove K-Mart was right, and that would be terrible.

Damn. I didn't think I'd have to explain my joke, but I just wanted to say that Kenyon is the one I was making fun of here.

I hope TT has a career year next year.

I definately got it and it was funny as hell. I really did not see any TT bashing there. Good joke!

Gazy got bashed by his teamates and coaches for his comments. They were out of line and he sounded bad.

We can root for him to act better and play better. Knick fans can be upset with a player and just hope they grow from the experience. Stu Jax called him and told him to shut up!

TT got tagged with "Gazy", and we should stick it.

As for TT, I like his athleticism, but if we can move him to improve the team, he should be moved.

thats common sense, but if theres one starter that can improve from within, its TT... i would hesitate moving him more than anyone outside steph and sweets just because he has all the ingrediants for superstardom, if they can just motivate him to drive to the basket every time he gets the ball or clear out for him... he can score alot more with a lot more consistency, he can be a major threat... and an all star at least, i really respect him and how he tried to get the knicks fired up, i like that.. he's got leadershihp qualities that im sure will rub off on his teammates... afterall he did attack the basket when he got injured when they were down 24 with 3 mins left... he's got it in him, we just gotta make him shine more.
