Knicks at Wizards

February 19, 2008 – 12:25 pm

Just a few remaining thoughts on all-star weekend, which was very entertaining throughout.

Nate Robinson would do well in that three-point shootout. I believe Nate is the best three point shooter on the Knicks. I don’t know who controls it, but when Kobe went out with injury, they could have reached out to a team without a representative at all-star weekend. Instead they went with Dirk, who has been in the competition before, and was already there for the all-star game. It would be interesting to know how many NBA teams did not have any representatives this past weekend, besides the Knicks–and out of those omitted teams, which franchise is more important than New York’s? In any case, if it is exciting to see a short player in the dunk contest, when was the last time a player of Nate’s stature was a contestant in the three-point shootout?

LeBron James is quickly closing in on Kobe Bryant as the best basketball player in the NBA. The dunk he had toward the end of the second half where he powered through the lane was on three or four western conference all-stars. When was the last time you saw somebody dunk on four all-stars? He’s just a very powerful all-around player and yet he’s still humble enough to say on a regular basis that Kobe is still the best player in the league.

Senior VP of basketball operations Glen Grunwald was in New Orleans with Knicks owner Jim Dolan for the all-star festivities. Why was Glen there and not Isiah? In any case, Glen was sure to inform the press while he was in New Orleans that all Knicks players are on the market, a stark contrast from Isiah’s previous stances, which have ranged from “David Lee and Renaldo Balkman are off limits” to “everybody is off limits,” to a report that the only players Isiah likes on the Knicks are Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson and David Lee.

There is a rumor going around that Kenny Smith is being considered for Knicks GM position, should it ever become available. I don’t see it happening, because everybody knows Kenny Smith’s personality through the great show Inside the NBA, and Knicks fans know Kenny even more through the games he calls through MSG. For Jim Dolan to hire someone who is already that familiar, it would be obvious to everyone how much of a pain in the ass Dolan’s media policies are, because you wouldn’t see the usual enthusiastic Kenny, you’d see the cautious, constantly looking over his shoulder Kenny, with the MSG PR representative glued to his hip at all times except for when he is down the road from the Knicks practice facility.

Orange and Blue mentioned he was not able to read the article I posted earlier on the possibility of Eddy Curry going to Miami. Sorry about that O&B. When I read the article, they didn’t require any registration. It basically said that Riley is very uncomfortable coaching a team without a big man, since he’s always had one. The author thinks Riles isn’t going to wait very long to secure one now that Shaq is gone in the trade for Shawn Marion. Since Riley loves a motivational challenge, and the Knicks are letting everyone know that Randolph and Curry are being shopped, the author speculated that Riley may go after Curry with some expiring contracts to offer in return.

For any of the Force MD’s who are attending the game tonight in D.C., enjoy the game. We’ll be looking for you on the screen in the living room.

    I have no personal beef with you (just veggies)

    But I actually agree with Peaceman, on his free speech rant.

    I especially liked his citing to Frederick Douglas.

    I’ll explain later why, Europe’s Extreme forms of political correctness, have it on the cusp of becoming shariah provinces.

    What the Caliphate couldn’t accomplish against Dark Ages Europe with it’s Kings and Crusaders may be obtained in the UN sympathy for all Europe as the Dangerous underdog from the Middle East roams European states unabashed!

  5. What would you give up to get Gordon?

    Should the Knicks make a play for him?

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  6. KnicksD

    Do you think there is a power struggle within the Knicks organization?

    Why would Grunwald and Dolan be posturing about and Grunwald communicating that all players are available when Monty sticks to his piece about nothing happening in the next few days?

    Or perhaps its james Dolans own media coverup.

    There is something which starts to annoy the more I consider it.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  7. O&B:
    I have no idea if there is a power struggle. I’m on the outside looking in.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  8. KnicksD

    Understood.

    What’s your position regarding the trading deadline?

    Should the Knicks make a move?

    If so should they do so to dump salary or acquire players to make a run at the playoffs?

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  9. *sigh* sure OnB, no beef just veggies with you, too. but you gotta understand what true free speech advocates are aiming at. the main deal is the right to speak out against the gubmint of the day, the right to speak truth to power. don’t get it confused with the ‘right’ to act like you’ve been possessed by a demon with tourettes. don’t debase the real struggle.

    anyway, at the end of the day, we already cherry pick limits. for instance we have libel laws. you simply CAN NOT say any damned thing any time you please. there are limits to free speech as there are to any and every single area of human activity.

    we shouldn’t be overly concerned that there ARE limits so much as the nature/quality of those limits. that’s where you focus your energy. rules/laws/limits say something about a community’s value system. where is the grand value in loosing racial slurs in a mixed environment? from my standpoint, there is none (or you can easily suppose it’s an ultimately negative one).

    i still maintain this is a false issue. nothin to see here folks…let’s move it along…

  10. “I’ll explain later why, Europe’s Extreme forms of political correctness, have it on the cusp of becoming shariah provinces.”

    p.s. you can prolly spare yourself a lotta time and energy here. i wasn’t talking about all of europe. i imagine each country in that part of the map has their own histories and social climates to weigh. i used germany cuz they were coming out of a pretty extreme case of racial/cultural insensitivity. you may’ve heard of it. anyway, my point was that america is NOT germany, so there’s lots to be thankful for if you really enjoy your freedom of expression. this is not (or shouldn’t be) a big deal. the american empire will not fall over this, trust.

    By Charles Follymacher on Feb 19, 2008

  11. You are really smelling yourself charlie. you got your wish. The locker room has been fumigated. You probably lost your way from the website of a Canadian academic institution. Whatever. Give us a break with the arrogance already.

    By HarleminMD on Feb 19, 2008

  12. @ O&B, #4…

    We nned not give up ANYTONE for Ben Gordon…..he is NOT someone we need. That’ll give us two (2) Crawfords, when one will do just fine.

    We need to be trying to get Duhon.

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 19, 2008

  13. HarleminMD, it’s funny that in this whole “free speech” ish you call ME arrogant. Are the chilluns right, that it takes one to know one? Anyway, I was responding to someone who addressed me directly, dude. I reread my last couple comments and while I can imagine inferring some preachiness or cheekiness in them, they are startlingly free of smugness. I’m as much on the defense in this kerfuffle as anyone else; I’m only laying out my philosophy in response to my all veggie buddy O&B.

    But, ok, if you’re sayin it’s enough awready, sure, I’ll do my level best to skip-pass any further commentary on the matter.

  16. Just to change the subject Follymach

    what are your thoughts on the questions I posed to KnicksD @ # 7

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  17. “Should the Knicks make a move?

    If so should they do so to dump salary or acquire players to make a run at the playoffs?”

    O&B, yes: Dump zeke. The situation with the knicks right now, taken as a whole, is wholly puke-inducing. I’m not good with the trade stuff. I only know guys i’d like to have and guys i’d like to cut. beyond that, i get a headache pretty easy going over the combinations an permutations, plus we’re all blind to what’s is really on the table from other teams and how the other GMs view dealing with zeke.

    they’re not a million miles away tho. dump curry for a good defensive center and get a passable (but CONSISTENT) pass-first point and they are right there with anyone in the eastern conf. how to get from z to a is anyone’s guess.

  24. KnicksD,

    KnicksD, let me guess, you MISREMEBERED the post. Writing that I posted that I would Shut down
    THIS blog, was PURE FICTION and an example of your pattern of Bizarre Behavior. It is very obvious to me that
    you are a SUPER SENSITIVE GUY. This is not by itself negative. However when you combine Sensitivity,
    w/ Paranoia you get very Strange Reactions.

    There are several examples in the past that that illustrate my point. 1)When Barf wrote a very Benign post
    that referenced you and Robin in a non insulting manner. Your immediate reaction was to Fly off
    the handle, become very offensive, and attempt to CHECK, Barf. After realizes that you IMAGINED an insult,
    you later apologized to Barf. 2)Your reaction to ‘Lives’ post yesterday was Defensive, Combative &
    Inappropriate. After some thought, it appeares thatu realized that you IMAGINED being attacked,
    and later apologized. 3)Your Reaction to my post was to include a STATEMENT that you IMAGINED, and other Super
    Sensititve Shyt.

    KnicksD, as the blog host, please Man-UP, quit reacting Emotionally, and remember No-One is challenging
    your Manhood. Also don’t allow the Line between fiction & reality to blur.

    Let’s Go Knicks

    Peace & Blessings

  25. Did you guys watch the All Star Weekend? I for one liked Birthday Cake! Go Green (the player & the environmental awareness movement) haha..

    By Edward on Feb 19, 2008

  26. No Agent Zero (knee? it’s been so long i can’t remember), no Karen Butler (hip flexor), no Marbury (bruised ego). N8 should rule this game. Nick Young will probably get a lot more time than usual. I like that kid. I was really high on him during draft time and he’s starting to prove himself in the league. He’s got hops. We’ve got to keep Antwan in front of us and shooting contested long jumpers. If that happens we win. All game long our team needs to be yelling, “keep your hands up!”. The only people on that team that consistently hit shots with hands in their face are Karen and Zero.

    Pound it to Zach and get Haywood (C) in foul trouble off of the rotation. Then get Eddylicious on ‘em. Eddy is great at bowling over guys, he just needs to get better position and holding on to the ball in the post when the gnats are swatting at you. Mutombo’s way of doing that was to throw them bows. Broke a lot of noses and cheekbones doing that too. They say Mutombo has “sharp” elbows, well Eddy’s elbows need to be like sledghammers.

    And move that ball around. We need more motion and screens in the offense. Move your butts people!

    The road to the playoffs starts tonight!!

  28. No-D-City can’t be traded!

    “The Chicago Tribune also mentioned Knicks center Eddy Curry on Monday, but it is doubtful Riley would have interest in a big man who neither plays defense nor rebounds and earns an average of $10 million over the next three seasons.”

    By D L T Knicks on Feb 19, 2008

  29. ..And Zach can’t be traded either!

    “Randolph’s hefty price tag is simply too daunting. While Randolph’s less than stellar personal history in Portland (he’s been fine in New York) isn’t really an issue, his style of play would also be a concern for Denver. Although they could use an inside offensive presence, Randolph has never shown a true commitment to defense. He’s also a high volume shooter and a reluctant passer.”

    Looks like the Knicks are up shyts creek with two suspect paddles!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  31. KnicksD,
    To answer your question about why Zeke was not at the All Star game
    was because his mother is suffering from a natural ageing process
    called congential Heart Failure. Why would he show anyway? The Knicks were shut out!

    JayBee,
    It’s because of defenders like you I can’t leave! I await to blast the “tankers.”
    Shout outs to Cooley, Steady, Harlem& Bronxboy O&B, Statesman, African,Syd,John Q,DLT, and all defenders not
    from Canada or named Rockstar! Lets support this team and go down scratching and clawing. To the END!

    FYI….Lives has no intention of starting his own Venue, Whoever stated that is 100% wrong.
    He is dissapointed with the tanking talk and being snapped at inapropreatley!
    He’ll be back…when he chooses! He is true of heart and intent!
    Hurry back lives!

  32. I have not read any of the posts since my last one, except for the accurate words from Peace above, but I will later. Starburyfan/KD has kindly expressed his regrets personally and I am not asshole enough, this week, to be unforgiving or ungrateful. If the Knicks win tonight, I’ll visit my friends at KD tonight.

  46. Curry also messed up the little pass from lee while he was cutting in.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  47. zach struggled early when curry was getting the ball. their production is nearly mutually exclusive. curry passed out of the double to hit zach at the top of the key for three. zach plays below the rim, gets his shot blocked sometimes, but he is the most talented rebounder on the team and figures out a way to score despite his lack of vert.

    i thought nate was playing well, don’t know why he came out.

    q just hit a three.

    Should the Knicks make any trades they should attempt to obtian a later 1st rounder or early to mid 2nd rounder.

    OBTW, there’s a pg that’s flying under the radar as well……Kansas’ Mario Chalmers.

    Excellent defender (no pun intended) w/long arms, quick feet, three point range, and most importantly, a winner’s pedigree.

    He’ll easily be our best guard in camp if drafted.

  86. speaking of draft picks BX, Eric Gordon 6′4? 220lbs SG from Indiana Hoosiers is playing on ESPN right now check it out. I’m going to try to catch a few minutes of that game as well.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  87. Bronxboy

    Lets hope some of that advance scouting finds its way to the Knick’s Brain Trust, whomever that ends up being.

    Keep us updated on guys who could address our current areas of need (consistent shooting gaurd, a center, small foward etc) Damn, we need to plug alot of holes.

    Hope not at plug uglies though.

  89. KnicksD, that’s the game i’m watching. Eric Gordon is a known commodity, it’s his team mate DJ White who piques my interest and addresses a glaring need…a rugged rebounding PF.

    As O&B alluded to, that’s just one of many holes that need to be plugged.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  93. Yep Bronxboy I switched over and noted your point about White.

    But the Knicks only have a 1st rounder, and will have to trade to get picks in the later parts of the draft to acquire the under the radar players.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  96. Very sad defense by Curry. He doesn’t widen his stance to make himself tougher to get around, doesn’t move his feet, is slow to react.

    I really want to root for the guy but he leaves you with very little to cheer for.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  97. CURRY is so SOFT on defense..he could piss on Cotton without
    making a sound!

    By Peaceman on Feb 19, 2008

  98. Bronxboy

    I was looking into some of the draft sites on ESPN and it seems to indicate there are no 2nd rounders.

    Like I said if we trade to either dump salary or upgrade, one of the objective should be to obtian bullets to scour the 2nd round of the draft for prospects.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  99. Bronxboy…Nichols was our second rounder we made the trade for!

    By Peaceman on Feb 19, 2008

  100. He was goin’ to the hole like a raging bull at the beginning of the game.

    I look for his stock to drop because he’s a “tweener”….at 6′4″, 220, is he a pg? If so, does he have the handles and the ability to he run a team?

    He’s not tall or athletic enough to be a 2.

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 19, 2008

  101. peaceman, don’t remind me…

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  102. Knicks are playing one and done ball at this juncture.

    No ball movement beyond the original entry pass.

    Damn Zeke fucking get these guys to play team ball.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  103. @ O@B, post 95…

    I can’t look at Curry without being tempted to ruin a perfectly good television set….

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 19, 2008

  104. so crazy to see zach and eddy on the bench together, usually in the second half.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

    I know you work in mysterious ways and like to test us

    but are you real or are you pulling our legs?

  112. Lord you tell us to be merciful

    But show us as Knicks fans some mercy.

    You ask us to turn the other cheek.

    But the Knicks are taking it literally way to much and turning the other cheek every time other team pimp slaps them.

    And

    Bend over backwards to give their butcheeks to their opponents at almost every turn.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  116. He’s pretty solid defensively, KnicksD. I haven’t seen him get beat too many times. Looks as though he’s pretty schooled on the “see man, see ball” concepts.

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 19, 2008

  117. Jones to the line off the Jump Ball which went to Nate.

    BUT OUR KNICKS SUCK RIGHT NOW!!

    AND THAT’S COMING FROM MY HEART!!!!

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 19, 2008

  130. Good play at this juncture they are moving the ball and not settling for threes.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  131. stopping the clock and going to the line when you’re down is always a good idea.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  132. bad call, that’s inside the cylinder.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  133. Flopping

    When Dwayne Wade jumps horizontally and not vertically like Q just did it’s a foul on the opposing team.

    On Q it is an “offensive foul”

    N.B.A!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  134. zbo to the basket.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  135. bad shot/decision by j chuck. should have got the ball inside to zach.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  136. And then they call the blocking foul against Q within the cylinder.

    Go Figure.

    Fucking Crooked Refs.

    I would eviscerate those fuckers and slowly sskin them alive while making them watch slow motion of all their dubious calls.

    but really bad news during the timeout.

    players throwing drinks at each other and talking loudly.

    appears to be between q and zbo.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  162. OVERTIME!

    The Knicks are certainly exciting.

    They are scratching and clawing and I can certainly respect and root for that everynight.

    Seems like it was Z-Bo and Q who were jabbing at each other.

    From what I saw some water hit lil Nate.

    Stuff got out of hand there for a bit.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  172. Nate the Great!

    His heart is the size of a 7 footer, while Curry’s is the size of a liliputian!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  173. It was Nate and Zach going at it. I put it in reverse and watched it again.
    That really rubbed me the wrong way but I don’t know what it was about.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  179. seems like the bench confrontation has united them.

    this game looks like a victory for the knicks.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  186. ball game. the knicks came through down the stretch.

    what happen with the confrontation?

    zach threw a drink at nate.

    then nate threw a towel at zbo.

    then the knicks decided to play together as a team.

    and the rest is history.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

    By Jay Bee on Feb 19, 2008

  189. @ O&B and KnicksD…

    The whole thing started from that jumper Zach missed during regulation time, before the timeout.

    I think Q said something to him about his shot selection, and the rest is history.

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 19, 2008

  190. Good play.

    And looks like a win.

    But I always way untill the final buzzer before a pop a cork of Apple Cider!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  191. BronxboyinMD

    I don’t blame Nate for pointing out to Z-Bo his questionable shot selection.

    Note how even Frazier notes that Z-Bo has the ability to be a better overall contributor and facilitator of the offense with his passing.

    But sometimes he just settles.

    He can’t do that if the Knicks are going to make any sort of playoff run.

    As improbable as it sounds to many a Knick fan.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  192. Tankers …Suck it!

    By Peaceman on Feb 19, 2008

  193. This was really a great win for the Knicks.

    I posted this in the last thread……

    “Let’s see if we could catch the Wiz in a post All-Star slumber.

    This is the official second half of the season…..I feel rejeuvinated!! LGK!!

    Hopefully this will be the beginning of good things to come!!

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 19, 2008

  194. Over 191 posts to read. Should be fun after a beautiful victory. Key to win? Qrich’s defense? maybe. Nate’s hustle? probably. Better team defense? likely. INSIDE PLAY IN THE FOURTH QUARTER INSTEAD OF JUMPERS? definitely.

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 19, 2008

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  199. Fuck no @ 195….

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 19, 2008

  200. Hey doesn’t Ricky Davis look like that Eddie Griffin?

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  201. O&B…

    I’m glad N8 had the balls to point that out to Zach.

    I’m sure he told him what others were afraid to.

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 19, 2008

  202. balkman go no burn at all, but i don’t think that’s how we won.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  203. BronxboyinMD

    Agree with you at 194

    that’s why I used the word “improbable!”

    Be nice to see the sportsworld eat crow a second time within a year.

    Lets Go Knicks!

    GO NY GO NY GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  204. Hummmm…..If Balk and Curry go to get Artest…so be it!
    Playoffs or die to all you half ass Knick fan motherfuckers!!!!!

    By Peaceman on Feb 19, 2008

  205. Hey he had shown all the heart to do all the little things on the court to help the Knicks win.

    He took that heart to the Bench to tell Z-Bo what must won’t dare to tell him.

    Lil-man is all Heart!

  209. and lee as well, I forgot.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  210. Lee, Z-Bo, and Nate appear to be the Knicks most consistent players this year.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  211. Of course, I also said we would get Currylicious. Go figure. I’m still rooting for him to get it together.

    By Jay Bee on Feb 19, 2008

  212. Q is a bad-ass if he’s healthy. Even during the post game interview, Clyde asked q what he did during the all-star break, saying he was playing vintage q basketball looking athletic on the basketball court.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  213. Hey

    I’d take Q’s chances in a dark alley against many a player in the league.

    Would have loved to see him split Pierces jaw wide open.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  214. Jay Bee,
    same here. we have to find a way to use curry’s low post scoring because it really worked last season.

    but again, early in the game, when the focus was on curry, zach struggled. then when zach picked it up, curry sat.

    tough situation, probably should be dealt with if possible. playing one in the first half and the other in the second half is not a long term solution to this low-post chemistry problem.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 19, 2008

  215. The Basketball gods are shineing upon our humble team!
    The Wolfs are Kicking the Sixers AZZ…
    The Bobcats have no chance against the Spurs!

  216. KnicksD,
    Not to be disrespectfull,
    but CURRY Is unabated bullshit!
    He won’t be a Knick unless it’s a back up!
    Balk and Curry for Artest tomorrow! Word…I state my rep on it!

    By Peaceman on Feb 19, 2008

  217. Hey I’m rooting for the Sixers to be involved in a double overtime losing effort against the T-wolves.

    Then they have to fly back to Philly to play us.

    They’ll have jet lag and the same back to back wear the Knicks have.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 19, 2008

  218. Good game between the Celtics and Nuggets.

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 19, 2008

  219. GREAT WIN TONIGHT !!!!!

    A franchise record OT. Impressive as hell. Hopefully we can carry that momentum into tomorrow night.

    If Curry and Balkman fetch us Artest, so be it. It leaves us w/ a gaping hole in the middle but we already have one w/ fatboy riding pine now.

    Can we get to the playoffs starting Nate, Crawford, Artest, Lee, and Zach ( or Zach and Jeffries) ????

    By JohnQ on Feb 19, 2008

  220. WE just beat a team in their HOME court that beat the Celtics
    Back to back! We are NYERS….King of the FKING Hill!
    No fluck! It’s a Fact!!!!!! There were some excellent passes to Curry tonight.
    He fucked up every single one! That fat ass has Got to go!
    Wipe your your ass 20 times and Curry will always leave major shit stains!
    When all is said and done! Sorry My main man African….you are 1000% WRONG!
    Curry is the Cancer! All 500 pounds of that fat ass non defensive Motherfucker!!!!!!!!!

  223. – great win as I was atthe game last night with Harlem, Steady, & Cooley. Much love to Cooley for making it happen.

    – 23 points in OT? Is that an NBA record?

    O&B @#4
    “What would you give up to get Gordon? Should the Knicks make a play for him?”

    We already have made a play for him. His name is Jamal Crawford.

    By MODI on Feb 20, 2008

  224. I am going to be really sick today.

    Check out the DailyOoze article today in which Isiah talks of making trades to get under the salary cap to not be his goal.

    Couple that with trade Rumors that the Knicks would get involved in a trade scenario with the Heat and Nets, which would give the Nets TWO (2) expiring contracts, the Heat Eddy Curry, and the Knicks Vince Carter’s has been bloated 15 million per year contract and lack of services.

    The good thing is that sources within the Knicks said that the deal is not feasible.

    I just hope they said that b/c they realize the sheer stupidity of such a trade rather than b/c such a trade numberswize wouldn’t work for the Knicks.

    With these fuck ups you just never really know! Do we!

    Lastly Z-Bo to Denver for Kliesa and others will not happen according to the NYRoast.

    Although word of the Knicks interest in Artest (Good), and Vince Carter (Terrible) was also mentioned.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 20, 2008

  225. You don’t want Vince Carter?
    I would take Vince in a second.
    Talk about an upgrade at the shooting guard spot?
    Vince is 10 times better than Crawford.
    I hope we do get Vince.
    If we don’t play Curry now….what’s wrong with
    getting Vince in replace of him?
    Remember I said we may see Vince and Artest before the
    deadline?
    Tomorrow is the deadline.
    Great win last night.

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 20, 2008

  226. It’s obvious after the Kidd trade and all the Carter to NY talk……
    Lebron is coming to Brooklyn not the Knicks.

    Damn!!!

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 20, 2008

  227. Yup DVJ

    Thats a real pisser that the Knicks won’t have an opportunity to land Lebron.

    Even when we beat the Nets, laterly three straight, the Knicks still lose b/c they get cap space and draft picks to entice Lebron to sign with them.

    It’s not easy being Orange and Blue!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 20, 2008

  228. Why do I have the feeling that the Net’s are doing exactly what we should be doing.
    They are stocking up draft picks and they have more than 2 expiring contracts on their team.
    They’ll most certainly get a lottery pick this season now that Kidd is gone.
    If they pull of that trade with us and the Heat…they’ll have 2 more expiring contracts.

    I know Richard Jefferson is sitting back like….”this is the life”
    He knows what’s going on.
    Stink it up for the rest of this year and next year….get your draft picks together then once
    they get Lebron….it’s pretty much a done deal.

  230. Hey African,

    I noticed you haven’t spoken about the Blazers lately.
    Are you aware that they’ve lost their last 5 games in a row and have
    now officially dropped out of the top 8? They are 5 games out of
    the playoffs now.
    I thought they were a good team now that Zach isn’t there any longer?
    I’ll leave you alone until after they fall under 500 lol.
    That should be this week since their 28-25.
    I told you they still suck.

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 20, 2008

  231. Lebron aint going to the swamp y’all. Not even if they move to Brooklyn. You think he’s salivating to play w/ RJ and a bunch of rookies ? When he’s ready for a new contract, it will be w/ a contender or he’ll stay put.

    By JohnQ on Feb 20, 2008

  232. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

    We no longer have the highest payroll in the league LOL.

    Dallas has taken that from us.

    Go Dolan!!!!!!!!!!

    Trade for Carter!!!!!!!!
    Trade for Carter!!!!!!!!

    Trade for Carter!!!!!!!!
    Trade for Carter!!!!!!!!

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 20, 2008

  235. I know African doesn’t want to see his boy Curry go
    but you guys never know with Isiah….
    It just might be Zach that goes but I don’t think NJ or Miami wants
    or needs Shaq.
    If Miami gets the #1 pick…they can pick Beasley.

    Wade
    Marion
    Beasley
    Curry
    I don’t know who they’ll have as their point guard.

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 20, 2008

  236. Shaq = Zach

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 20, 2008

  237. DaVonn @ #228, I knew it was a safe bet everyone’s fav cancer-hunter would be mouse-quiet when the inevitable Blazer swoon rolled around. Still they only won 32 games last year and they’ll beat that total, so it’s a mortal lock he’ll hang his hat on that.

    By JohnQ on Feb 20, 2008

  242. @ Post 239..

    I concur wholeheartely John Q, but not to worry…..Zeke would consider it, but not execute….for fear of his own execution!!!

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 20, 2008

  243. johnq: I’ve heard more than once, that when the time comes for LeBron to get a new deal, that he will come to New York at Nike’s behest. I’m not holding my breath, but if you google that, there are people out there that are predicting this. it is probably a lot of wishful thinking, but i will concede that it is possible in a few years that lebron leaves Ohio for another team. especially with their inability to put better players around him thus far.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 20, 2008

  244. warning: vince carter has a bad attitude. he went to high school about 30 miles from my own high school and the stories are well documented. why would jason kidd want out of nj? carter was in his first year of a new, expensive, long, deal.

    isiah should not do what he usually does.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 20, 2008

  245. @Bronxboy,
    It will take more than Curry salary wise for Carter,
    so Zeke may be able to dump Jerome James at the same time!
    That move alone should get him another extension!
    I say pull the Trigger! I rather have Carter than Both
    those Clowns!

    By Peaceman on Feb 20, 2008

  246. KnicksD @243

    You mean get a score first primadonna with a bad attitude?

    Knowing Zeke like we all do, and proof positive by “his no dumping salaries” bit, Monty will probrably trade away a 1st rounder in addition to expiring contracts just to add Carter to the teams already bloated and overpriced payroll.

    MONTY LEAVE THEM UNFAVORABLE LOPSIDED DEALS THAT ONLY HURT THE KNICKS ALONE!

    LEAVE THEM ALONE!

    LEAVE THEM ALON!

    Sad thing is that Monty appears to be jonesing to ruin the Knicks prospects for the future!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 20, 2008

  247. Peaceman,

    Who’ll play center?

    LOL!

    Nobody currently on the roster plays center- James & Curry.

    Maybe Morris will get some burn.

    Not!

    Do you mean the 8 years ago Vince Carter or the today Vince Carter?

    I dont think the today Vince Carter is better than Ben Wallace right now—not just JC.

    By Anti-NYSportsNews on Feb 20, 2008

  250. Peace:
    The book on Curry is in it’s preface. Not in the conclusion. I’ll bet on that.
    Everyone wants their heroes to be perfect, but are we?
    They want them to be, what they want from them RIGHT NOW.
    It just doesn’t work that way with everyone.
    There’s no mold for individuals.
    The Knicks could/would trade Curry and live to regret it.
    Let’s keep reading, and not judge the book by the cover/preface.

    KncksDee:
    Once again you’re showing your true colors
    You seen to fly off the handle with any percieved criticizm.
    I remember you did that with Barf, Statesman, and now with Lives.
    Get a grip of yourself. The bloggers make this site. Not you.
    No one is running on here to read your lead posts. They’re mundane at best.
    Most come here for the fraternity of the other bloggers, including you.
    No beef with you KnickDee, just veggies. Someone’s just got to do it.
    Your statement that Statesman stated he wanted to bring the blog down is pure fabrication
    I read all these posts and never say that one. Maybe I “misremembered.”
    That’s not a good sign for a blog host.
    These bloggers gravitated to this site because of the cockiness of the last host.
    Please don’t go there.
    It’s your site, but you don’t carry the juice. The comminity does.
    Wake up from your slumber! Facilitate, don’t dictate.
    Aren’t you tired of apologizing for stuff that doesn’t even need to go there in the first place?
    Again, no beef, just veggies.

    By African on Feb 20, 2008

  251. Well let’s see…
    Vince Carter and Jamal average pretty much the same thing.
    Vince has a little advantage as far as the #’s go.
    Vince is putting up those #’s (20.5 ppg 5.5 apg shooting 45%) and
    he’s not even playing motivated ball right now.
    Bring him to NY so he can get motivated again and I’m sure
    we’ll see a change in his game.
    I actually think Vince at the 2 and Jamal at the 1 would be a good
    look.
    Then again I’ve been wrong before.

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 20, 2008

  252. DaVonn, I think the Knicks have their share of new-team reclamation/revival projects. Please, no more. We don’t need Wince Carter.

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 20, 2008

  254. Thomas loves them reclamation projects.

    Just look to his vaunted deal to land Eddy Curry!

    Enough said…

    Don’t get Carter!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 20, 2008

  255. Damn, African! Did you have to bring mud onto the parquet floors? LOL.

    I know: straight, no chaser.

    Guess that’s what makes African.

    Davonn, that backcourt would be the worst defensive backcourt in the league. Of course, they would average 48-52 ppg.

    I guess we would look like Denver.

    By HarleminMD on Feb 20, 2008

  256. Shout out to the DC na, I mean, gentlemen. LOL

    Let’s go Knicks! Smack that philly ass tonight!!!

    Watch this blow up if we win TWO in a row! I can hear peace now: “if we have artest, we would beat the best!”

    I know, lame. See what happens when the knicks win a game? A ni, I mean a dude is liable to lose his fucking mind!

    By HarleminMD on Feb 20, 2008

  257. “I guess we would look like Denver.”

    On point analysis Dr. Harlem. I wanna co-sign that one. VC is useless to the Knicks. Plus he is now the Net’s point. Plus, Curry is not going to Miami. Riley just called the rumor “blog b.s.” he didn’t name Knicksdefense specifically though. LOL. Check it out. Pat Riley Respects Curry, but not enough to make him a Heat

    Aight bruh Harlem….don’t start none, won’t be none!!!

    You beat me to the punch on that defensive backcourt of Craw and Wince….

    Cat opposing backcourt’s would be chompin @ the bit…Can you say “career nights????”

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 20, 2008

  259. No stuff Bronx. “Craw and Wince” HeHeHe.

    HarlemMd, you’re a bad boy. But I am cracking up. Gotta get back to work. Just give me one more win — tonight please.

    Curry has regressed — a total loss of confidence. Maybe he’ll at least play decent offensively when the trade deadline passes and he is still around.

    By Lives In New Jersey, Loves New York on Feb 20, 2008

  260. Whazzup Lives, Bronx,

    Yeah, I had a pair of old, stink socks that I wanted to pull out, and “[re]odorize” the place. You know, like when you walked into your uncle’s house who sleeps all day in the same underwear? LOL.

    By HarleminMD on Feb 20, 2008

  261. so I was wrong, the term Statesman actually used was “pull the plug” same effect if conveyed, not that it matters.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 20, 2008

  262. Damn States! That is a lot of smack. And the “Robin” one, you out of line on that one bruh.

    Kumbaya my Lord.

    Let’s get a virtual drink fellas.

    By HarleminMD on Feb 20, 2008

  263. KD, @242……..

    I’ve heard that more than once too but I’ve also heard that diet tastes as good as the real thing, the world was supposed to end in the 80’s (nostradameus) and that it only takes 3 licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop. Don’t believe everything you hear. If that was the case, wouldn’t we have at least one Nike player on our squad already ? Wouldn’t the company push a similar deal at their athletes seeing as we are in the biggest market ?

    By JohnQ on Feb 20, 2008

  264. KnickDee;
    That was some weak-assed bullshit!
    Putting someone’s e-mail address and IP address on the net!
    Again, is that necessary?
    You’re once again showing your true colors.
    I’m sure Isola or Hahn, or Berman wouldn’t do that!
    Just goes to show where you fit.
    If you notice, I never asked for an apology from you.
    My post was some free advice to you.
    In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty.
    If you also notice, you stated that you’d never aplogize to me or Statesman, but an apology is due to Statesman.
    Your last statement in 261 is that you were wrong.
    That’s a stark contradicton.
    You owe States an apology. Would you? Doubt it.
    But you do owe him a few for the wrong you did on many levels.
    Wake up from your slumber dude! There’s still time, even for you.

    By African on Feb 20, 2008

  265. I’m with you Harlem. I must have skipped-pass those posts. That’s quite a paper weight. It made me remember that my boy States was actaully rooting for the team to win at one point. (LOL). I want that virtual drink and we need to stop taking ourselves so seriously. All you motherfunkers are dumb as me, so quit fronting.

    By Lives In New Jersey, Loves New York on Feb 20, 2008

  266. Hey KD, you should delete post #260 and take out the e-mail address. I understand getting mad, but I don’t think you really want to violate your position in that way. You should take it down before I memorize it and start sending that spam I got to States IP address.

    By Lives In New Jersey, Loves New York on Feb 20, 2008

  267. AF,

    @249………preface ???? more like epilogue if u ask me.

    We don’t want him to be perfect. How about adequate ? Unbelievably you still continue to tout Curry as a good player. Do you even watch the games ? Do you think he’s riding pine because he is sooooo good ?

    By JohnQ on Feb 20, 2008

  268. The blog host should guard posters e-mail addresses and IP addresses like a father with a virgin daughter!
    Shot-gun and all!
    That’s a major violation KnickDee.
    Get with it, then apologize!

    By African on Feb 20, 2008

  269. Harlem, I think Statesman is out of line on all of them if you ask me.

    African, you and Statesman REPEATEDLY asked for the post, so I provided it. I tried to ignore the request, told him to look it up for himself. But you two kept at it. So there it is. You don’t like it? YOU asked for it.

    Statesman, African:

    I am aware that everybody came here because we all hated “wacky” in reference to our love of the knicks.

    I considered it a blessing to have people come on here when it was just me, myself and I for a few months as we all blogged happily on Alan Hahn’s blog.

    Everybody was welcomed to come here as an alternative, including when you two showed up.

    But you can’t come in here and tell me what to do or how to act or what to write or how to write it.

    African, when you first came onto this blog, you told me to give the keys to Lives to do the posts. That’s how much you respect this blog upon arrival.

    I owed Lives, BARF and Peace an apology, because I was sorry for what I said to them. That is between me and them if there is still any beef. And I honestly hope there isn’t, because that was my mistake, and I admit it.

    But I don’t owe you two shit.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 20, 2008

  270. I don’t know what going on here but it stinks—-let by gones be by gones!!!

    Like Lives says dont take ourselves to seriously on this thing—unless we’re willing to speak our mind the same in face to face meeting.

    And if you really think about it—the true essence of real character cannot be defined by this blog alone. We are all deeper than this and just talking about the Knicks. In between talking about the Knicks sometimes our words gets lost in translation—some are offended, slighted, ashamed, embarressed,happy sad,joyful,down,elated, blue,just like in life. But we dont stay angry—life is serious—talking about the Knicks is not!

    By Anti-NYSportsNews on Feb 20, 2008

  271. Fellas,

    Lets work this out like men. Let’s just talk basketball.

    The last day of trade rumors:

    “A report on ESPN.com last night also said that the Nets, Knicks and Heat have had discussions about a three-way deal that would send Carter to the Knicks, Eddy Curry to Miami and the expiring contracts of Jason Williams and Ricky Davis to New Jersey.”

    By D L T Knicks on Feb 20, 2008

  272. KD,

    They tried to tell Alan what to do, why would they treat you any different ? I guess Hahn wasn’t the devil afterall.

    By JohnQ on Feb 20, 2008

  273. anti, DLT, I’ve tried to keep it knicks related, but these two make sure to keep it personal. watch and see.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 20, 2008

  274. KnickDee:
    Show me where I REPEATEDLY asked for any posts.
    This is the first time I posted in a few days, so how can I have asked repeatedly?
    I was never part of this until today.
    You did your research and could not come up with the statements you attributed to States.
    That means you fabricated.(apology)
    You posted a blogger’s IP address on the net.(apology)
    You posted a blogger’s e-mail address on the web.(apology)
    I asked you to allow bloggers to do some, not all of the leads.
    That should tell you how I feel about your leads.
    FYI, I spoke to Isola at length on the phone and through e-mail and asked him to do the same.
    That’s how I felt about his leads also.
    Many times over at KK, I tore into Isola’s leads, and I had to contain myself on many an occasion to refrain from doing the same here.
    As it stands today, it’s still a good idea to have some of the better writers to do the lead.
    We all know you benefitted from the wacky, so don’t get wacky yourself.
    If you remember well, I was one of the first bloggers here, and it wasn’t because of your splendid insight and writing abilities. Don’t get ahead of yourself.
    My point was that you fly of the handle in situations where there’s no need to go there, that’s why you lead this blog in apologies. That’s not a good sign for a host.
    You don’t owe me shit, but do I we you anything? C’mon, that’s weak.
    Remember, it’s the bloggers that make this site, not you.
    Soon you’ll be sitting here by your lonesome again.
    Haven’t you learnt from past history?
    A people without the knowlege of their history is like a tree without roots. –Marcus.
    Ever heard of a reporter named Hahn?
    Wise up!

    Fellas, let’s lighten it up. As my man Anti pointed out, life is serious…this isn’t!!

    This is supposed to be a “diversion” from the grind…let’s not make THIS the grind.

    C’mon fellas….let’s talk hoops!!

    @ Anti, post 296…

    I really hope that trade proposal is just a rumor. Carter is the LAST person we need. Those expiring contracts are attractive, however.

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 20, 2008

  276. African:

    You and statesman are the real dictators. Your boy statesman asked me several times for those posts, then you jumped in and talked a bunch of shit on them too. So you in fact asked for it, and I provided it. Statesman said “pull the plug,” it was right there in black and white.

    African: don’t make threats about leaving this blog, African, just leave if you want to. Seriously. Leave. Take Statesman with you. You two still think I owe you something for some reason.

    By knicksdefense on Feb 20, 2008

  277. Haha, that’s it,
