MLK game: Celtics at Knicks

by knicksdefense on January 21, 2008

Game time 1pm.

What better way to honor the great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., than with a victory over the Celtics–and don’t tell me I have a dream, we can beat this team if we show heart and play smart.

Expert Frank Isola was on NBATV tonight sounding much like Lives saying the team has turned a corner. He said that he expects the Knicks to put up a good fight tomorrow (still Isola said the C’s would win, but who wouldn’t on national TV?). He did that very same kind of backpedaling at this time before, didn’t he? “I always thought this would be a playoff team,” was the exact quote during the 6-game streak if I recall correctly. Isola the jellyfish fence-straddler needs to just pick a side and quit calling loyal Knick fans everywhere “male groupies.”

I missed that Nate Robinson dunk in the first half of the Miami game, fortunately Alan Hahn found the video on youtube, check out Knicks Fix if you wish to revisit the footage. Somebody please tell nate if he uses his supreme talent to focus on defense he’ll have plenty of opportunities for more dunks in the game. Anticipate passes, read the passing lanes, he’s been studying Steve Nash tapes to become a better playmaker and that’s great, but he should supplement that with some Muggsy Bogues tapes if he has the time. Anyway, Nate has been doing a great job lately so I’m happy for him.

That’s two dunks for Nate in Miami thus far in his career. Does Nate even have a shoe sponsor yet? Would Steve and Barry’s possibly be interested?

I think right now the Knicks are getting the hazing from teh Cs

The Pistons did that to teh Bulls and so on.

2 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 2:54 pm

Q and Pierce thrown out.

Q still talking shyt and Pierce looks scared.

Can’t be so tough of the court.

Go Knicks

Yeah Q take him to the alley boy!

3 BARF January 21, 2008 at 2:55 pm

O&B, you got your wish. Q got Pierce out.

Good shit

Wht else u want?

This game can be so easy if you play it right. We are not breaking them down with dribble penetrationor out of the double teams because we have no one cutting, due to playas hugging the 3 point line, just not forcing their to Defense to react verses guarding the perimeter.

OUR D is non-exsistent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Breen and Clyde ought to know better with the ZBO bullshyte…This Bruh comes to play everynight (despite some deficiences), except N8 who had to sit because of foul trouble and JJEFF, the rest of this crew is not hustling, rebounding, or playing D (ECITY, JCRAW, QRICH are major culprits; check the hustle stats like rebounding and steals, does anybody have more than 5 out side ZBO, N8, or JEFF)…

THIS LOST IS ON ZEKE’S HEAD…It’s called COACHING…Demand these things from your playas, or play the Ball Boy and Water Boy…or maybe CHANDLER, MARDY, or MORRIS…

THIS GAME IS EASY IF YOU JUST PLAY WITH YOUR HEAD AND HEART…THIS IS BULLSHYTE…

Q is a joke……………………………………………

GO KNICKS GO KNICKS GO KNICKS GO KNICKS NEVER EVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 Charles Follymacher January 21, 2008 at 2:56 pm

craw-the-ref is hilarious!

8 BARF January 21, 2008 at 2:56 pm

Perkins picks up a t

9 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 2:56 pm

Nice Curry taking it to Perkings

Curry to the line and a t on Perkins

10 Charles Follymacher January 21, 2008 at 2:57 pm

while curry is feelin it for the next 5 or 8 mins, we should ride his thick hide.

11 BARF January 21, 2008 at 2:57 pm

12 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 2:58 pm

Nate with a slam off a fast break started by a steal.

13 BARF January 21, 2008 at 2:58 pm

O&B, you got your wish.
Q got Pierce out.
Good stuff.

14 Charles Follymacher January 21, 2008 at 2:58 pm

when tony allen is in the game, nate should be in his jock cuz allen spits up turnovers as often as he exhales.

15 BARF January 21, 2008 at 2:59 pm

Take FJones out and put Balk in.

No SF for the C’s with Posey AND Pierce out.
This is our shot.

16 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 2:59 pm

A win would be nice!

Don’t know if that would be asking for too much

17 BARF January 21, 2008 at 3:00 pm

Glen Davis and Curry must be brunch buddies.

18 Bronxboy in Md January 21, 2008 at 3:00 pm

Our Chi-boys are soft…

Curry throws Rondo to the floor…yeah big fella, try that on someone your own size for once…and then he mugs on Perkins after an uncontested dunk…Perkins looks at him as if to say, “WTF…..are u retarded???? I’m killin’ you”…

Then Q wants to challenge Pierce to a sword fight….”meet my out back”…

Pierce is prolly thinkin’, “please Q…see me when u get a jumper”

Q prolly knew he’d get fried in the fourth quarter if the game got close and got thrown out on purpose.

LOL…

19 Peaceman January 21, 2008 at 3:01 pm

I’ll take Q out with Pierce!
Thats OUR advantage, it should show in the fourth WHEN Boston falls apart!

20 Syd January 21, 2008 at 3:01 pm

need a monster 4th to do it …..

21 BARF January 21, 2008 at 3:02 pm

O&B, if we get a win out of this, Q should get the MVP. No doubt about it.

Pierce was killing us softly. Shot fakes and quick passes were the difference in that late second quarter run. If I hadda known Q could get him out, I would have asked for that 2 quarters ago.

22 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 3:02 pm

Down by 12 entering the 4th

23 Charles Follymacher January 21, 2008 at 3:04 pm

yes, curry! use your fouls dangit!

24 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 3:04 pm

Nice hard foul by Curry he is actually being productive.

Barf

True I might hate pierce but he is an assassin. Great player but a real jerk.

25 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 3:04 pm

Curry’s fighting for a rebound

It’s raining cats and dogs

26 Charles Follymacher January 21, 2008 at 3:05 pm

27 BARF January 21, 2008 at 3:06 pm

KG back in. Can the Knicks maintain?

Curry misses his second. 82- 72 C’s 11 left in the last.

CUrry with another rebound.

28 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 3:06 pm

ZBo gets to the line

29 BARF January 21, 2008 at 3:07 pm

Big Body Davis is huge. Who left the sugar pantry unlocked?

30 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 3:07 pm

31 Steady January 21, 2008 at 3:08 pm

KFLL

32 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Curry drawing fouls on Big Body

33 Syd January 21, 2008 at 3:08 pm

34 BARF January 21, 2008 at 3:09 pm

Damn look at the size of Oliver Miller Part Deux’s legs. He looks like a small sumo wrestler.

35 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 3:09 pm

The Cs have two clutch players in there

Garnett and Allen.

36 BARF January 21, 2008 at 3:10 pm

Ray Allen with a dagger back

39 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 3:10 pm

Jones has to do better than that Deeing up on Allen.

Jesus is getting some holy spirit running through him at this juncture

40 Charles Follymacher January 21, 2008 at 3:11 pm

can you feel it, boys?

41 BARF January 21, 2008 at 3:11 pm

Knicks back within 8 with Pierce in the back icing his ego.

42 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 3:11 pm

BARF

You think Big Body could be enlisted to bring the World Sumo Championship back to the USA?

43 Charles Follymacher January 21, 2008 at 3:12 pm

can anybody tell me why curry doesn’t try to set a lil deeper in the post?

44 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 3:13 pm

Big Body is out sumoing Curry in the Post

It’s like moving a buici

45 BARF January 21, 2008 at 3:13 pm

ChuckFM- deeper position means long passes which means turnovers?

He’s doing better from a bit further out. You have more options out of the post from his spot. You have better scoring options the deeper you go.

But I don know. He’s doing well from there.

46 BARF January 21, 2008 at 3:15 pm

Another bad pass from ZBo.

Curry blocks Davis but they call a goaltend.

47 BARF January 21, 2008 at 3:16 pm

If Curry would show this much energy all game, we wouldnt be in this position.

48 Black and Blue January 21, 2008 at 3:16 pm

Nice hustle play by Nate to preserve the possession for the Knicks

49 BARF January 21, 2008 at 3:16 pm

Nate with a hustle rebound.

50 Syd January 21, 2008 at 3:17 pm
