Poppin Scoski voted for Ron “ice dodging” Artest.
BARF and defenders who like basketball video games:
“So, someone took the time to recreate last year’s historic Game 5 in NBA 2K8. It’s not something I really want to remember, but even I’ll admit this is kind of cool.”
The first four choices on the list were all pretty good, even staying the course wasn’t all that bad given that the early results on the court are just preseason results– but with that said I am on the Artest band wagon. Mardy showed flashes law year, and hopefully he’ll recover from the knee scope, and get a chance to play this season and show us what he’s capable of. We could use an interior shot blocker, and I was sort of hoping that the acquisition of Z-Bo would free up Curry from having to carry the full load offensively thereby freeing him up to use some of his energy on the defensive end by way of shot blocking– perhaps that’s wishfull thinking.
Ron Ron made the most sense b/c as I’ve said earlier no V Carter or gay as R Jefferson or other star players will try to punk him and he could impose his toughness on this team since their looking soft and confused at this stage– yes I know it’s still preseason.
Did you see Wilson Chandler try to dunk on VC? I’m starting to think that young man has the non-punk attitude that we covet. And his jumper seems to better then Ron Ron. I’m not saying he is better but he’s only 20 years old.
poppin, 2K8 looks great but come the holidays, I’m still picking up NBALive on PS3. I imagine it’ll feel better although the 2K series usually look better.
Yep saw it! And I love Chandler’s potential. Hope he cracks the 9-10 man rotation Thomas is getting together for the regular season– though I’m sure from what Chandler’s shown in preseason he ought to make that rotation. Whatmore I hope we don’t have to give him up in a trade unless it’s for a superstar.

Hey thanks for the word on the news I provided. Your the originator of the hyperlink and took our community to new heights with your use of it to increase the amount of info in here, I’m merely offering the highest form of flattery by taking up the art of hyperlinking.
I know that John Q, and others were linking us to the Article from Newsday Ken Berger on how the Knicks still have a shot at Kobe. The flip side of that story is in an article by a Chicago Bulls beat writer who seems to come to the conclusion that the Bulls shouldn’t bet the farm on Kobe. Of course I’m blogging I’d prefer Artest over a a premadonna even if it is the Legendary Black Mamba. But hopefully this story will give DVJ something to be happy about and look foward to.
On the flip side of the injuries that have afflicted the Bulls this preseason, there is hope that the Bulls can still get off to a fast start this season but that of course depends on them getting more or less healthy come the regular season.
Evolution my man. You’re doing a fine job. DVJ was the first dude throwing up full articles on the board. I remember dudes were hating on him for that, now, news from around the league is one of our biggest draws.
I forget who requested the NOHOMO video, but here it is. Funny stuff.
the starting five I wish to see tonight for the exhibition game:
Mardy Collins
Stephon
Wilson Chandler
ZBo
Eddy Curry
just to see how it fairs against the boston lineup. crawford and q will probably start the regular season games, but I say, experiment with this lineup and see if we aren’t down 20 points at the end of the first quarter. just bloggin’
Lives,
That Chandler comment was sincere! It was not directed at any single defender. It was a general statement that I read more Hype here about him than I’ve seen! I watched the same games and yes I want this kid to be
great, but I haven’t had enough looks at him yet! I’m not going to praise what I don’t see…YET!
No disrespect to Chandler, but lets see what he really has instead of giving him ROY with
3 minute flashes! I’ll be amongst his biggest supporters because of his Game, but not the Hype!

I was going to leave your earlier post in response to the Chandler alone but now WTF. What’s wrong with pushing a Knicks rookie for ROY. Other than PAtrick when was the last time there was any buzz in Knick land about a rook. Not even Art Rust Jr. could prognosticate who will or would not be what in the future. Remember? HE said Bernard King could not come back from that injury. The point is not even the best of us can accurately predict who will be what or where things will occur during the season. Once again the kid stated confidently that he wants to be ROY. When was the last time you heard that in print or on the radio/tv from any Knick rook? In case you misssed the point from my post, I want to see the kid get some PT. At this stage only the players and coaches know what he can really do based on his camp performance. What I’ve read is that IT is gushing praise on the kid and he also never backed off from VC. (I got the pics and the coach’s words). So I don’t know if this is diamond or a diamond in the rough but we will never know if the kid does not play. Afterall he is a legitimate first round pick. What I got in your response on a Sunday morning before going to church is all these F*ing F bombs. You Peaceman were pretty heavy for a Sunday AM we We’re only Blogging. Don’t Think I like that SHYT.

You can put me down for RonRon. I just think that his defense,leadership,toughness as well as his scoring, can take us up to the top.He can guard Pierce,AI(Philly),Bulter(DC), his shot can keep the defense off our E-Z combo. I WOULD think about giving up either Lee or Balk for him. “You got to give talent to get talent.”

Hope we all get a good look tonight!
This team doesn’t need a defensive specialist, it simply needs better defense at all positions.
Many knick defenders seem to be in love with Ron Artest, completely discounting his personal history and unstable personality. I could easily see a scenario where Ron Ron comes to the big apple and ends up killing some punk in a bar fight. Meanwhile, I don’t think the Kings are looking to get rid of him, it’s more like Bibby who will get traded.
Chandler has great athleticism, and perhaps a decent outside shot, but he is completely raw, and I think it’s crazy to start talking about ROY, before he scores his first NBA points. I do think it won’t make sense to have him, Balkman and Jeffries all under contract next year. One will have to go.
As far as passing point guards go, I’ve got a hunch that Nate has finally figured out that’s the only way he’s ever going to get a nice contract in this league. And this is his year he has to prove it. This is the year he has to raise his basketball IQ on both ends of the floor. Nate is faster, a better penetrator, and a better shooter then Mardy, he just has to play smarter. In any case, I doubt Marbury will be able to make it thru 80 games with his knees and high mileage, so both Nate and Mardy are gonna get minutes.
It’s the 2 guard where we need some consistent play. Q and Crawford have to get their acts together. We can’t have 0-10 nights and matador D
LGM HAS IT FIGURED OUT. TEAM DEFENSE. OUR PROBLEM HAS BEEN WITH CRAWFORD AND RICHARDSON. CURRY HAS BEEN ACTIVE AND AGGRESSIVE ON BOTH ENDS. ZACH HAS HELD HIS OWN. STEPH’S OUR BEST STARTING DEFENDER. JAMAL AND Q’S DEFENSE THIS PRESEASON HAS COINCIDED WITH THEIR INEPT OFFENSE. WITH BALKMAN RETURNING. THE SECOND UNIT IS SET. N8, JONES, THRILL, TAZ AND DLEE. MAYHEM AND MOTION WITH THIS UNIT. COLLINS, JEFFERIES AND ROSE WILL FIT IN AS NEEDED. NICHOLS MAY MAKE THE TEAM AFTER ALL. THOMAS NEED TO ALLOW THIS TEAM TO RUN. IT REBOUNDS WELL AND WE HAVE THE HORSES TO RUN THE RACE. THIS WILL HELP OUR DEFENSE AS WELL. REMEMBER, YOU STILL HAVE TO OUTSCORE YOUR OPPONENT.
I agree that the 2 spot is where we need our most defensive help. I think our best 2-defenders are Q and FJones. That’s the reason I see Ron Artest as a fit at the 3-spot.Pushing Q to the starting 2.Yes, Ron has had his off the court problems…but look at us this year. WE ARE THE BAD BOYS OF THE NBA!!! It would be nice if Nate can step up to the role, I like his game….but with a full court pressing “D”. Q at 2, Ron,EC,Zach in the front court.The Kings want DLee or Balk and Nate. Need Ron NOT as a “stopper” but the good d can rub off on the rest of the team.
Getting sick of that Knicks commercial with the nerd on the couch talking about the “formidable front line.” Seems more like an actor than a knicks fan to me, but then again I don’t know him.
Defenders,
You can all imagine how I voted. In fact for me, it was a useless question as the commandment is clear:
Thou shall not covet OTPs. Now even in saying that, it doesn’t mean that IT will not make another move or try to improe the team somehow if another player comes along who can do something better in his eyes (judgement). But don’t get it twisted, this business of constantly moving players does not bode well for the team because it further ingratiates IT to the NYK to the point where he’s making the NYK a team that ALL employed are loyal only to him. Just bloggin’. Watch some MSM pick up on this point and run an inciteful chock-full-a-bunk article on this notion.
Next, I want ya’ll to BARF–no, not throw up! but Be A Real Fan. A Real Fan supports the players s/he gots until another player comes along. I know, Blogzilla started it and we’re just bloggin’.
JohnQ @12,
What’s your problem with JD? Does the MSM coverage affect your thinking in any way. The only way that I judge ownership is if they block progress by not spending for players. JD gave IT and open checkbook and to this point has supported his vision for building a championship. What he does with his time and money is HIS bizness. Who would you have buy da Knicks? What difference is it to you as a fan? Are you embarassed by the corporate politrix that played out in the MSM? As you can see by now, JD could give 2 rats _$$. Furthermore, he only cares about you & me when we are coming through the turnstyle, clickin’ on MSG or buying NYK tickets/gear. I much rather have an owner like JD then some control freak who will be meddlesome and then get in the way of every b-ball decision. And another thing, you want Puff Daddy or Donald Trump (on credit) to buy da NYK for $592 million? If I’m JD I ain’t sellin for no less than $800 mill. Ain’t NOBODY steppin’ up with those coins so let that ownersh!t GO!
I also take issue with this pass-first PG fixation. That is all bunk people who blog it are in recycle mode with that last HOF coach who’s lurkin’ on his next backstabbin’ victim. A PG who knows the game, who is born (as BX or HarlemMD said?) and not made knows when to pass first or shoot first. IT was that PG. KJ was that PG. Magic was that PG. They simply know when they need to take over a game because they let the game come to them. This ABS about “playing the right way” was another media metaphor for “Get that N… outa here cause I don’t want to coach him no more.” No player/baller should be “anything” first. Put yourself in a player’s position. You come down the court, rock in hand, you’re a “pass-first” coach’s left nut, the defense drops to the post because they know you’re looking to “pass first”, then what do you do? WTF do you do? Do you pass or slide down to the top of the key and take that 12-ft baby J (or better yet, that open trey). Pass first my ass. You let the game come to you. SM is our PG for now until IT moves him or he can’t go no more. Where did all those people go who praised his game/transformation from last season for “buying into IT’s vision”. What about those folks carrying Mardy’s jock for what he did while Starbury was out? Come back @ me but re-read first
DEFENDERS, I SAID THAT IN THE FIRST MEETING WITH BOSTON, STEPH IS THE DIFFERENCE. BOSTON HAS NO ANSWER FOR HIM. WE JUST HAVE TO CONTAIN THE BIG THREE AND MAKE AT LEAST 45% OF OUR SHOTS. GOOD START. LET’S FINISH THE JOB.
Bumrush:
We don’t even need to finish it. This is pre season. You can’t show your hand. You’ve just got to get that confidence that you can do it, then experiment with difference line-ups.
I’m confident that we can do it!
I see we’re a little TESTY this evening. Maybe we can attribute that to a bit of anxiousness regarding tonight’s game and the adrenaline is pumping. Whatever it is, I just assume folk are bloggin and just ain’t in kissy kissy mood this evening.
Nevertheless, base on the last score I saw, the Knicks are competing and the game is close. Pretty much want all of US wanted to see early, and expect to see as the season begins.
Steady, we could go back and forth on the PG issue, but I won’t. Peaceman, maybe you didn’t have to be so hard on St. George, but both of you ARE GROWN AZZ MEN, and I’ll let that be too because that should and will be resolved by two MEN (I respect) WITH GREAT PASSION FOR THEIR POSITIONS and OUR BELOVED NY KNICKS…Now I might catch some flack for this post, but we should be PULLING TOEGTHER, like IT is hoping his TEAM will as well..If I get smacked, I’ll just turn the other cheek…
LGM, like you, I think this will be a break out year for N8 and it couldn’tcome at a better time. His shot will come around just like maturity does as each birthdays comes and go; his hard work and dedication this off season will not go in vain. He’ll be that sparkblug/ingnitor that this TEAM needs, because HE IS ALL HEART…
Sorry you can’t catch the game on the Radio St. George…The Defenders will do the best their can to keep you in the loop my caribbean brother from another mother…
Thanks for the UPDATES DEFENDERS; Here at the Compound we’ve got Zilch, so I am hanging on every word, every word, and from where I’m sitting and seeing through your eyes, we’re looking good…Now that’s ALLRIGHT with me…Thanks again for the hook-up Defenders!
That’s why I was so mad last week. We should never be down 20 to this team at halftime. We have to show more mental toughness. We also should start a conventional lineup instead of the 3-guard lineup. Q is going to have a tough time guarding 3’s in East.
W’sup Cooley.
We got this on lock. This game is going to give the players some confidence.
I really do believe we can ball with the best in the league.
Yeah Blogzilla, ZBo’s got lead boots. Still, he’s in shape. Not like Bermy reports. He’s the furthest thing from a Kevin Willis physique. But he doesn’t have to be, to be effective. He’s a savvy player with his hands. When his feet fail him, he looks flat-footed.
african, I said oakley. i was trying to make a joke because zbo doesnt seem to play above the rim, yet still finds a way to be highly effective. just like charles oakley used to be very effective without often leaving 4″ off the ground.
African, are we BBALLING OR WHAT? Bumrush, you got me covered? Harlem did Malik really take a 3 pointer (he should be tarred and feathered…LOL)? Barf, is Chandler doing his thing? Blogzilla is ZBO the MAN or WHAT?
Curry had KG pinned on the baseline but didn’t realize he was so close to the baseline. Called ECity for the foul when Eddy didn’t need to be so aggressive. Clyde is the man.
For the people who didn’t watch him on Minnesota, KG’s showing folks why he’s The Kid. He’s been playing this well for years.
KNICKS NEED TO CONTINUE TO MATCH KG’S INTENSITY. THE DIFFERENCE IN THESE TEAMS ARE GLARING DEFENDERS. WE NEED TO PLAY LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME. OUR DEPTH IS BETTER THAN BOSTON’S. PERIOD. THEIR BIG 3 WILL HAVE TO PLAY OVER 40 MINUTES AGAINST US. WE WILL WEAR THEM OUT.
I agree with African,
Lets see what the new guys bring!
Q got hacked at least three times with a no call!
Up by 9 @ half time!
What changed that the knicks took command?
Was Nate the factor?
wheelchair dudes are nice. its hard to finish shooting from so low with that much momentum… They should televise that stuff some more, who needs to see Trautwig’s mug
Peace:
Steph stephed it up, followed by the little big man. He looked like the best player on the floor. Dishing and swishing.
Ray Allen had a case of jefferies in his shorts.
When asked about the trade with Portland, Spike says how he likes all the players acquired by the Knicks. He messes up Dickau’s name and Gus interjects with great joke.
Bumrush, thank you, thank you for the box score…5 turnovers Defenders! N8 4-5, 4 dimes, 3 boards, OOO Turnovers, NOT THAT IS WHAT I”M TALKING ABOUT
African, the intangibles, JJEFF is the INTANGIBLE MAN…Why hasn’t ECITY gotten to the line? HWen he is effective he gets to the line and nobody in BEANTOWN cam check him…HMMMMMM
Q and Jcraw shots will come around, but the rst of their stat line is decent which means they are doing other things…LIKE PLAY DEFENSE I HOPE….THANKS DEFENDERS YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST…
BARF…thanks for relaying any way…WIll the Thrill will get his shot and I hope DNICE does too…
LIKE I SAID LAST WEEK, THE CELTICS NEED THIS MORE THAN WE DO. WE HAVE ALREADY PROVED A POINT. THIS DOESN’T COUNT BUT WE STILL SHOULD KICK THEIR ASSETS.
Intense pre season. I love it.
Someone needs to give Pierce a hard foul. I don’t like his attitude.
Where’s Jerome James when you need him.
Where’s Lives!
Barf he’s got to learn to match that NBA INTENSITY…He’s a quick study and this kind of game will serve him well. Watch what I’m telling you…Is DNICE getting any burn?
they still have fred on pierce. this is what I was talking about before, fred can’t guard pierce for long periods, he’s too tall and too slick on offense.
Why is Fred Jones on this team? Would he have a spot if IT didn’t draft him? We don’t have any minutes for him. Chandler, Jeffries, Balkman. He’s taking their minutes.
Maybe this has already been said before, but do you guys think that Curry is actually hurting this team? I mean, it looks like the Zbo and Lee combo works a lot better than the Curry and Zbo duo…just bloggin.
that would be me african, when I picked my 15 I cut nate and Jerome. I knew it wouldn’t be Isiah’s final 15, that was my disclaimer when I made my picks.
but hey, this is a different nate that you’re seeing tonight. and I like what I’m seeing. hope he keeps it up for the regular.
Jeffries would be a better matchup against Pierce. Longer defender. If he gets past Jeffries, defense can rotate to help. Pierce v. Jones is like Jordan v. Starks. No contest.
BOSTON HAS BEEN TALKIN TO US THE LAST FEW YEARS. ESPECIALLY WHEN RICKY DAVIS WAS AROUND. DAVIS, PIERCE AND JEFFERSON TALKED THE ENTIRE GAME. LET THEM TALK. BUT REVENGE IS OURS.
JC better get rid of starting lineup obsession. Jeffries or Balkman should be tried out at the SF spot. Chandler jumps a spot in the depth chart, up his minutes.
Its not a bad game for the Knicks but Boston is turning it on.
The team is playing loose. That’s a good sign.
Curry is the backbone of the team. Hurting the team? Wake up. Curry is a force.
No one can check Curry and Nate.
AFRICAN I FEEL YOU. NO HOMO. CURRY IS STOPPED BY THE WHISTLE. BOSTON IS IN TROUBLE. MATTER OF FACT, THE LEAGUE IS IN TROUBLE. SEND THEM TONIGHT’S TAPE, HOLLA!!!!
Pierce, KG, Allen are close to 40 minutes in PRESEASON. There’s no way they can keep this up. If we play them hard like this every time, no way they can win the East.

Random thoughts…
This team doesn’t need a defensive specialist, it simply needs better defense at all positions.
Many knick defenders seem to be in love with Ron Artest, completely discounting his personal history and unstable personality. I could easily see a scenario where Ron Ron comes to the big apple and ends up killing some punk in a bar fight. Meanwhile, I don’t think the Kings are looking to get rid of him, it’s more like Bibby who will get traded.
Chandler has great athleticism, and perhaps a decent outside shot, but he is completely raw, and I think it’s crazy to start talking about ROY, before he scores his first NBA points. I do think it won’t make sense to have him, Balkman and Jeffries all under contract next year. One will have to go.
As far as passing point guards go, I’ve got a hunch that Nate has finally figured out that’s the only way he’s ever going to get a nice contract in this league. And this is his year he has to prove it. This is the year he has to raise his basketball IQ on both ends of the floor. Nate is faster, a better penetrator, and a better shooter then Mardy, he just has to play smarter. In any case, I doubt Marbury will be able to make it thru 80 games with his knees and high mileage, so both Nate and Mardy are gonna get minutes.
It’s the 2 guard where we need some consistent play. Q and Crawford have to get their acts together. We can’t have 0-10 nights and matador D
By LGM on Oct 22, 2007
LGM HAS IT FIGURED OUT. TEAM DEFENSE. OUR PROBLEM HAS BEEN WITH CRAWFORD AND RICHARDSON. CURRY HAS BEEN ACTIVE AND AGGRESSIVE ON BOTH ENDS. ZACH HAS HELD HIS OWN. STEPH’S OUR BEST STARTING DEFENDER. JAMAL AND Q’S DEFENSE THIS PRESEASON HAS COINCIDED WITH THEIR INEPT OFFENSE. WITH BALKMAN RETURNING. THE SECOND UNIT IS SET. N8, JONES, THRILL, TAZ AND DLEE. MAYHEM AND MOTION WITH THIS UNIT. COLLINS, JEFFERIES AND ROSE WILL FIT IN AS NEEDED. NICHOLS MAY MAKE THE TEAM AFTER ALL. THOMAS NEED TO ALLOW THIS TEAM TO RUN. IT REBOUNDS WELL AND WE HAVE THE HORSES TO RUN THE RACE. THIS WILL HELP OUR DEFENSE AS WELL. REMEMBER, YOU STILL HAVE TO OUTSCORE YOUR OPPONENT.
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
@LGM
I agree that the 2 spot is where we need our most defensive help. I think our best 2-defenders are Q and FJones. That’s the reason I see Ron Artest as a fit at the 3-spot.Pushing Q to the starting 2.Yes, Ron has had his off the court problems…but look at us this year. WE ARE THE BAD BOYS OF THE NBA!!! It would be nice if Nate can step up to the role, I like his game….but with a full court pressing “D”. Q at 2, Ron,EC,Zach in the front court.The Kings want DLee or Balk and Nate. Need Ron NOT as a “stopper” but the good d can rub off on the rest of the team.
By D L T Knicks on Oct 22, 2007
that was a nice little season preview MSG put together just now. everybody on the team is aiming high, and you can’t fault them for that.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
Getting sick of that Knicks commercial with the nerd on the couch talking about the “formidable front line.” Seems more like an actor than a knicks fan to me, but then again I don’t know him.

By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
Defenders,
You can all imagine how I voted. In fact for me, it was a useless question as the commandment is clear:
Thou shall not covet OTPs. Now even in saying that, it doesn’t mean that IT will not make another move or try to improe the team somehow if another player comes along who can do something better in his eyes (judgement). But don’t get it twisted, this business of constantly moving players does not bode well for the team because it further ingratiates IT to the NYK to the point where he’s making the NYK a team that ALL employed are loyal only to him. Just bloggin’. Watch some MSM pick up on this point and run an inciteful chock-full-a-bunk article on this notion.
Next, I want ya’ll to BARF–no, not throw up! but Be A Real Fan. A Real Fan supports the players s/he gots until another player comes along. I know, Blogzilla started it and we’re just bloggin’.
JohnQ @12,
What’s your problem with JD? Does the MSM coverage affect your thinking in any way. The only way that I judge ownership is if they block progress by not spending for players. JD gave IT and open checkbook and to this point has supported his vision for building a championship. What he does with his time and money is HIS bizness. Who would you have buy da Knicks? What difference is it to you as a fan? Are you embarassed by the corporate politrix that played out in the MSM? As you can see by now, JD could give 2 rats _$$. Furthermore, he only cares about you & me when we are coming through the turnstyle, clickin’ on MSG or buying NYK tickets/gear. I much rather have an owner like JD then some control freak who will be meddlesome and then get in the way of every b-ball decision. And another thing, you want Puff Daddy or Donald Trump (on credit) to buy da NYK for $592 million? If I’m JD I ain’t sellin for no less than $800 mill. Ain’t NOBODY steppin’ up with those coins so let that ownersh!t GO!
I also take issue with this pass-first PG fixation. That is all bunk people who blog it are in recycle mode with that last HOF coach who’s lurkin’ on his next backstabbin’ victim. A PG who knows the game, who is born (as BX or HarlemMD said?) and not made knows when to pass first or shoot first. IT was that PG. KJ was that PG. Magic was that PG. They simply know when they need to take over a game because they let the game come to them. This ABS about “playing the right way” was another media metaphor for “Get that N… outa here cause I don’t want to coach him no more.” No player/baller should be “anything” first. Put yourself in a player’s position. You come down the court, rock in hand, you’re a “pass-first” coach’s left nut, the defense drops to the post because they know you’re looking to “pass first”, then what do you do? WTF do you do? Do you pass or slide down to the top of the key and take that 12-ft baby J (or better yet, that open trey). Pass first my ass. You let the game come to you. SM is our PG for now until IT moves him or he can’t go no more. Where did all those people go who praised his game/transformation from last season for “buying into IT’s vision”. What about those folks carrying Mardy’s jock for what he did while Starbury was out? Come back @ me but re-read first

Bumrush:
We don’t even need to finish it. This is pre season. You can’t show your hand. You’ve just got to get that confidence that you can do it, then experiment with difference line-ups.
I’m confident that we can do it!

Jeffries looking good on defense!!!
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
NATE got a floater on the run????
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
Defenders,
I see we’re a little TESTY this evening. Maybe we can attribute that to a bit of anxiousness regarding tonight’s game and the adrenaline is pumping. Whatever it is, I just assume folk are bloggin and just ain’t in kissy kissy mood this evening.
Nevertheless, base on the last score I saw, the Knicks are competing and the game is close. Pretty much want all of US wanted to see early, and expect to see as the season begins.
Steady, we could go back and forth on the PG issue, but I won’t. Peaceman, maybe you didn’t have to be so hard on St. George, but both of you ARE GROWN AZZ MEN, and I’ll let that be too because that should and will be resolved by two MEN (I respect) WITH GREAT PASSION FOR THEIR POSITIONS and OUR BELOVED NY KNICKS…Now I might catch some flack for this post, but we should be PULLING TOEGTHER, like IT is hoping his TEAM will as well..If I get smacked, I’ll just turn the other cheek…
LGM, like you, I think this will be a break out year for N8 and it couldn’tcome at a better time. His shot will come around just like maturity does as each birthdays comes and go; his hard work and dedication this off season will not go in vain. He’ll be that sparkblug/ingnitor that this TEAM needs, because HE IS ALL HEART…
Sorry you can’t catch the game on the Radio St. George…The Defenders will do the best their can to keep you in the loop my caribbean brother from another mother…
Keep it POPPIN

I LOVE THE NO HOMO MANTRA. NICE RUN BY THE 2ND UNIT SO FAR.

Thanks for the UPDATES DEFENDERS; Here at the Compound we’ve got Zilch, so I am hanging on every word, every word, and from where I’m sitting and seeing through your eyes, we’re looking good…Now that’s ALLRIGHT with me…Thanks again for the hook-up Defenders!
Keep it COMING! But most of ALL
Keep it POPPIN!
By cooleyhigh on Oct 22, 2007
@Starburyfan,
That’s why I was so mad last week. We should never be down 20 to this team at halftime. We have to show more mental toughness. We also should start a conventional lineup instead of the 3-guard lineup. Q is going to have a tough time guarding 3’s in East.
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
The squad is ballin’. Curry is a monster. I repeat/Dross….Nate could be the best player on the team.
By African on Oct 22, 2007
nate is doing it on both ends of the floor tonight.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
HARLEMMD, DON’T FORGET ABOUT BALKMAN. HE WILL DEFEND THE 3′S IN THE EAST AND WEST. 47-34 COOLEY, KEEP IT POPPIN’
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
This is more like it. Last week, Boston was on a different level.
That KG dunk was heavy!!
He sent a message with it.
The message read: THE PAINT IS MINE!
Ray Allen looks old tonight.

anyone looking at a boxscore?

W’sup Cooley.
We got this on lock. This game is going to give the players some confidence.
I really do believe we can ball with the best in the league.

Barkley had mad ups Starbury, are you serious? Choose another, maybe Oakley.
By African on Oct 22, 2007
wow. good take by pierce. three point play opportunity.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
Yeah Blogzilla, ZBo’s got lead boots. Still, he’s in shape. Not like Bermy reports. He’s the furthest thing from a Kevin Willis physique. But he doesn’t have to be, to be effective. He’s a savvy player with his hands. When his feet fail him, he looks flat-footed.

By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007

By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
good d by q.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
Curry had KG pinned on the baseline but didn’t realize he was so close to the baseline. Called ECity for the foul when Eddy didn’t need to be so aggressive. Clyde is the man.
For the people who didn’t watch him on Minnesota, KG’s showing folks why he’s The Kid. He’s been playing this well for years.
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
Starbury, my bad. I read Barkley. You’re right.
By African on Oct 22, 2007
55-46 Knicks. Halftime. I’m loving me some Nate and Jefferies. Yes Jefferies!

Yeah we feelin it down here.
Great banter defenders
Lets Go Knicks
By St_George on Oct 22, 2007
KNICKS NEED TO CONTINUE TO MATCH KG’S INTENSITY. THE DIFFERENCE IN THESE TEAMS ARE GLARING DEFENDERS. WE NEED TO PLAY LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME. OUR DEPTH IS BETTER THAN BOSTON’S. PERIOD. THEIR BIG 3 WILL HAVE TO PLAY OVER 40 MINUTES AGAINST US. WE WILL WEAR THEM OUT.
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
thx BM40
I’d like to see Chandler play. Cooley, you asked how he looked…I didn’t see him play yet. I tuned in a little late after putting up some shelves.
Malik looked good on the floor(no homo), with sweat glistening all over his body). HA
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
Atlanta is looking good guys. East is much improved.
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
I agree with African,
Lets see what the new guys bring!
Q got hacked at least three times with a no call!
Up by 9 @ half time!
What changed that the knicks took command?
Was Nate the factor?

Sorry. KG is the best player on the court. I’m a biased knick fan.
By African on Oct 22, 2007
My favorite moment of Stephon was when he called Zach a “left handed southpaw”
This video’s NUTS
When asked about the trade with Portland, Spike says how he likes all the players acquired by the Knicks. He messes up Dickau’s name and Gus interjects with great joke.
Must See
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
Bumrush, thank you, thank you for the box score…5 turnovers Defenders! N8 4-5, 4 dimes, 3 boards, OOO Turnovers, NOT THAT IS WHAT I”M TALKING ABOUT
African, the intangibles, JJEFF is the INTANGIBLE MAN…Why hasn’t ECITY gotten to the line? HWen he is effective he gets to the line and nobody in BEANTOWN cam check him…HMMMMMM
Q and Jcraw shots will come around, but the rst of their stat line is decent which means they are doing other things…LIKE PLAY DEFENSE I HOPE….THANKS DEFENDERS YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST…

Can the Celtics win a chip without over-riding their Big 3?
That’s the question
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
I’d like to see Zeke take Curry off Garnett and put Jeffries on him….why waste the fouls???
N8 is rewarding Zekes confidence in him…that’s the best half of basketball I’ve seen from him.
I know it’s early, that back-up pg may not be that serious an issue afterall………
Speaking of which…where’s Mardy Collins????

We look like a different team on the defensive end tonite.
Steph looks like the Steph of old…..perpetually in the “attack” mode. We need him to be that way.
The Eddy/Zach combo is really starting to take shape. They don’t look to be in each other’s way as much.

Chandler can’t worry about bodying up his man…especially when he’s pulling up on his shot.
Chandler follows that with a block on high post jumpshot by KG, called a foul.

this is like watching a playoff game.
this game is dead serious.

By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
Nate’s best OVERALL game. We’re going to need this every night.
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
WILL SOMEBODY SLAP LEON POWE, PLEASE!!!!!
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
zbo blew (nh) a good pass opp for Lee
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
Barf he’s got to learn to match that NBA INTENSITY…He’s a quick study and this kind of game will serve him well. Watch what I’m telling you…Is DNICE getting any burn?
Keep it POPPIN!
By cooleyhigh on Oct 22, 2007
I want to see Nate dunk on KG!!
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
DNICE IS A SPECTATOR TONIGHT.
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
they still have fred on pierce. this is what I was talking about before, fred can’t guard pierce for long periods, he’s too tall and too slick on offense.
steph is doing a good job.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
wow 2 bricks by stephon
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
Nate is invincible!
By African on Oct 22, 2007
and nate rob with the offensive rebound, he is tearing it up tonight
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
Why is Fred Jones on this team? Would he have a spot if IT didn’t draft him? We don’t have any minutes for him. Chandler, Jeffries, Balkman. He’s taking their minutes.
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
If the refs call fair and he wants to, Steph can draw a charge on anyone.
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
HAWKS AND WIZARDS BALLIN’ TOO. 99-95 1 MINUTE 45 LEFT IN THE 4TH.
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
over the back on garnett.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
they gave it to tony allen.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
Didn’t someone say Nate should be cut? I need to go back to see who is that hack.
That person should own up to that nonsense.
By African on Oct 22, 2007
WAY TO END THE QUARTER NEW YORK KNICKS! Got Damn RIGHT!
Go KNICKS
Keep it POPPIN!
By cooleyhigh on Oct 22, 2007
DEFENDERS ON THE REAL, N8 CAN BE A CALVIN MURPHY TYPE AND BETTER IF HE BECOMES CONSISTENT. NO TEAM WOULD HAVE AN ANSWER FOR HIM.
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
curry is MIA. it’s feast and famine with curry and zbo so far. pierce just killed fred with a three. 18 points in the period for pp.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
N8 is Gr8
By St_George on Oct 22, 2007
Ship Fred back to Oregon please…
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
Celtics already in the penalty?
Lee
Zbo
Jones
Stephon
Nate
“Shut down basketball”
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
Fred?
You don’t like defense? PP is a great shooter (nhm)
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
PIERCE IS NOT BASHFUL. 8-18 BUT 12-14 FROM THE STRIPE. FRED’S HAS TO MAKE HIM PUT IT ON THE DECK AND GET HELP.
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
Maybe this has already been said before, but do you guys think that Curry is actually hurting this team? I mean, it looks like the Zbo and Lee combo works a lot better than the Curry and Zbo duo…just bloggin.
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
Piere has 29 points after 3 quarters.
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
that would be me african, when I picked my 15 I cut nate and Jerome. I knew it wouldn’t be Isiah’s final 15, that was my disclaimer when I made my picks.
but hey, this is a different nate that you’re seeing tonight. and I like what I’m seeing. hope he keeps it up for the regular.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
77-72 end of the 3rd!
Pierce and KG are talking shit!
Jones can’t D pierce!
By Peaceman on Oct 22, 2007
Fred has his place. I’d love to see jefferies on Pierce. Haven’t seen that yet.
By African on Oct 22, 2007
End of the third quarter…
Anybody else notice Zeke on the bench with a look on his face as if to say….
“Back in the day, them dudes (Boston) wouldn’t be woofin’ at us like that…we’d have laid somebody out”…
Or was it just me???
@ African,
I concur bruh….Pierce is a little too antagonistic tonite…..
By bronxboy in Md on Oct 22, 2007
Money Time. Knicks shooting 45.8% Celts 36.6% from the field
By St_George on Oct 22, 2007
Jeffries would be a better matchup against Pierce. Longer defender. If he gets past Jeffries, defense can rotate to help. Pierce v. Jones is like Jordan v. Starks. No contest.
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
Pierce is lucky that the Taz isn’t on the court tonight to smack that gerbil looking face onto the hardwood.
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
@ Bumrush..
That Calvin Murphy comparison is on the mark….
By bronxboy in Md on Oct 22, 2007
Someone tell Jeffries to keep the ball up over his head before he turns around in the paint.
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
I dont know about this line right now…Jones AND Jeffries…and JChuck?
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
Yeah, we’re missing Balkman tonight for sure.
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
BOSTON HAS BEEN TALKIN TO US THE LAST FEW YEARS. ESPECIALLY WHEN RICKY DAVIS WAS AROUND. DAVIS, PIERCE AND JEFFERSON TALKED THE ENTIRE GAME. LET THEM TALK. BUT REVENGE IS OURS.
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
That’s three quick team fouls for Boston…
By bronxboy in Md on Oct 22, 2007
Balkman for Jeffries
Balkman!!! Come back please!
Not too soon though.
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
Jones with the nice block. My bad.
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
BRONXBOY, THAT SOME OLD SKOOL, HOLLA!!!
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
JChuck needs to go…it’s ridiculous how terrible he is.
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
nate is grabbing jerseys. first kg’s and then somebody else’s.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
Craw belongs on the second team. He shines with them
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
Bumrush stop being lazy when BARF asks for the boxscore. we want analysis not link, funny kid. you can do it. we got yo back if you slip
By Steady on Oct 22, 2007
Playoff ball in October!!! That’s what’s up!!! Let these **%^&*( know we ain’t layin’ down!!
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
STEADY AS THEY GO, PEACE.
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
Needless to say-I’s caught up and lovin’ every minute. Too bad so sad cooleyhigh, hope the missus take care of s#!t pronto.
KFLL
By Steady on Oct 22, 2007
DLEE WITH FORCE!!!!!
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
Breen’s best comment ever…” I have to learn to keep my mouth shut!”
By Peaceman on Oct 22, 2007
NO HOMO!!!!
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
DLee with a solid double double
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
JC better get rid of starting lineup obsession. Jeffries or Balkman should be tried out at the SF spot. Chandler jumps a spot in the depth chart, up his minutes.
Its not a bad game for the Knicks but Boston is turning it on.
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
Crawford with a nice dish to DLee in traffic for the flush….
He has five assists and playing solid defense…
He’s showing he can contribute in more ways than scoring…and we’re gonna need a COMPLETE effort from him consistantly…
By bronxboy in Md on Oct 22, 2007
The team is playing loose. That’s a good sign.
Curry is the backbone of the team. Hurting the team? Wake up. Curry is a force.
No one can check Curry and Nate.
By African on Oct 22, 2007
AHHH JChuck stop launching threes!!!
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
posey and d lee talking smack.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
Nate with the pinpoint pass. Sweet!
By African on Oct 22, 2007
that name was coined for a reason.
KFLL
By Steady on Oct 22, 2007
Nate looks like a real point guard! Lee gets PISSED?
This is a war!
By Peaceman on Oct 22, 2007
these teams want to kill each other tonight. good stuff.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
AFRICAN I FEEL YOU. NO HOMO. CURRY IS STOPPED BY THE WHISTLE. BOSTON IS IN TROUBLE. MATTER OF FACT, THE LEAGUE IS IN TROUBLE. SEND THEM TONIGHT’S TAPE, HOLLA!!!!
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
Jchuck smacks my craw when he’s off.
KFLL
By Steady on Oct 22, 2007
lee dunked on posey. eat it posey!
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
Steady,
AH7 would fit in nicely right now, don’t you think?
He’ll be ready in February.
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
DLee was a black man in another life……
By bronxboy in Md on Oct 22, 2007
looked like nate traveled on that fast break.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
This has to be one of the most intense preseason games I’ve seen…
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
Look at that combo on da floor now. replace Jchuck and E-city who may be moved and we’s OK
By Steady on Oct 22, 2007
LOVIN IT DEFENDERS. THE GARDEN IS ROCKIN BABY!!!!
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
i hope the regular season knicks-celtics games are this good.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
HarlemnMD,
No diggity. Just wish they didnt have to do all those theatrics about it.
By Steady on Oct 22, 2007
It’s OVAHHHH
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
The OPS MANAGER come from out of the Shadows…Why did I know you would be the first to speak on the wife tip…Gotta Love YA!
I’m having a blast read you wild and passionate NYK fans…this is definietely different!
Keep it POPPIN!
By cooleyhigh on Oct 22, 2007
Gentlemen, we now have a team….
By bronxboy in Md on Oct 22, 2007
Props to Doc. He’s ensuring that 2 of 3 stars stay on the floor at all times, keeping pressure on.
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
Look out Craw, N8’s coming for you!!
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
Back up ten and tell me N8 ain’t Gr8
By Steady on Oct 22, 2007
NO ANSWER FOR N8. WE ARE RONDO’S CROWN. WHO’S TALKIN NOW BALLERS!!! GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO!!!!
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
UP BY TEN…and counting…HOT DAMN!
Keep it POPPIN!
By cooleyhigh on Oct 22, 2007
Stephon
Nate
Q
Zbo
Lee
That’s a solid starting five…too bad JChuck and Curry aren’t going anywhere.
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
DNM CHILL WITH THAT MADNESS. HOLLA AT YOUR BOY (NO HOMO) AND GET A GRIP.
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
kg blocks zbo. nate throws it away because he didn’t want to get blocked by kg.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
Cooley,
All love bruh’. passed da same orders in the NW too so I’s feel you
By Steady on Oct 22, 2007
250 posts! Knicks leading the game; Indy 14-Jag 0; I ain’t totally blind my mofo’s!
Keep it POPPIN!
By cooleyhigh on Oct 22, 2007
KNICKS SHOOTING 45%, CELTICS 38%.
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
did that d lee pass to zbo hit him in the face?
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
Excuse me, why is Malik in???
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
88 79 Knicks
By St_George on Oct 22, 2007
Ray Allen has JC like numbers tonight 3/11, but 12 points at least.
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
good foul by KG cuz that was going to be a two handed dunk by ZBo.
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
Nate almost has a double double…2 more rebs
By DNM on Oct 22, 2007
Pierce, KG, Allen are close to 40 minutes in PRESEASON. There’s no way they can keep this up. If we play them hard like this every time, no way they can win the East.
By HarleminMD on Oct 22, 2007
Nate could be the best player on the team.
Calvin Murphy is right.
By African on Oct 22, 2007
malik deserves the time
who else should be playing?
By BARF on Oct 22, 2007
N8 done took OVAH D game
By St_George on Oct 22, 2007
you can’t cut malik, he’s the only guy that can try to guard kg. well, maybe renaldo but probably not.
By Starburyfan on Oct 22, 2007
JESUS SHUTTLESWORTH IS HAVING AN OFF NIGHT DUE TO GOOD KNICKS DEFENSE DNM.
By bumrush40 on Oct 22, 2007
N8 is 8 for 122 shooting, 20 pts, 4 dimes and NO TOs. who wants him? WE DO.
By
