Perhaps you shouldn't be so aggressive in how you discuss basketball topics? Calling people chumps and referencing slurping of male genitalia isn't a very productive way of communicating.

Neither is discrediting someone's opinion, or viewpoint, I don't see you riding the moral high horse against those that tried to insult my initial point...

Neither is insulting a poster as a mod, saying I have never had a good post.

Yes, I came off as combative , but I meant it tongue in cheek... Doesn't always come through that way, but you used to come off that way to way back when, didn't you?

[kobeaki]

Power trip huh? How many times have I ever warned you or suspended you? Stop being paranoid and just make better posts.

It's a deal, but you guys need to more proactive and neutral in how you police this place.

Yes , I do come across as aggressive. I don't always mean to.

I want to beat these bitches by double digits. They are already on a long losing streak,let's blow them out and make their life even worse.

Any win would be great but blowing them out would be something special.

this gonna be a blowout on national TV. LA is demoralized and searching for answers. Your rotations have to be crisp if you plan to slow down our three point barrage, and we all know Asstoni only practices D for half an hour. Plus Ty OWNS D12 in the paint.

Asstoni will probably jizz himself watching Novak rain down threes all night.

well blow them out by 30

lakers are a horrible matchup against us

Dwight can't hit free throws. We got this easy.

LA is one of the worst defensive teams in the league and their bench is non-existent. We will slaughter them. Quote me.

LA just doesnt have enough guards to hold us down for an entire game, this SHOULD be an easy W.

Just entered the thread, hope no one quoted that yet!

Well I don't think name-calling was ever acceptable here.

But now that we got this out of the way, let's get back to the Knicks/Lakers game analysis.

[Gek]

Your ass should have been canned years ago, but I'll give you a little teaching before I give you the final boot.

"You think an emotionally (Please Use More Appropriate Word) big man with a back problem( medical science cannot fix backs, btw) who In btw, in 6 months is gonna be courted more heavily than a hooker at a porn convention...

Vs an emotionally (Please Use More Appropriate Word) big man with knee problems who at the very least we had under contract, with bad knees, yes... Much easier to fix than a back, btw."

Tell me how this makes sense.

Thank you for pointing out this irony. I was long asleep by then. Interesting last few pages though.

Just got back from the game not too long ago. When the Knicks made their run in the first half it had a lot to do with us taking poor shots which would lead to easy baskets for the Knicks. I was surprised Kobe didn't post Kidd up more in the first half. I think it would have settled down our offense because all it seemed that we were doing was jacking up a bunch of 3s. Outside of Kobe, everyone was just horrible in the 1st half. Nobody could hit a shot to save their damn life.

Sadly (and I think the commentators hinted at this last night), I don't think Kobe's back can handle many posts ups.

Props for going to a game at MSG though haha. At least when I go in Philly it's a 50/50 split between 76ers fans and Lakers fans.

[MeloStateOfMind]

Good game yall...Artest played his heart out even though the game was decided after the first.

[dockingsched]

Bynum is a FA after this year, along with Dwight.

But stay clueless.

Yeah, When you learn to read , you'll see i said they are the same guy, ultimately...

But go ahead , remain illiterate.

[Kilroy]

Both the game and the end of this thread...

Yeah, a back is so hard to recover that Dwight is playing averaging 19/12 and 2.5 blocks, and knees are so much easier to recover from that bynum has yet to play a game this season. Great logic! Even Tmac, with chronic back problems, was able to keep playing as a role player. What happened to Greg Oden? Knee problems are easily the most chronic bball injury.

[The Skyhook]

The sad part is that they do have a good team.

All bandwagon fans. Its amazing how nobody here where I live ever brought up the Knicks and now that they are good everyone is a fan. The moment they go back to being terrible nobody will care for them again.

Only thing I liked about the Knicks fans last night was how I was surrounded by them chanting fire D'Antoni towards the end of the game.

I haven't gotten a chance to watch the last couple games because its the end of the semester and I'm swarmed with papers and exams but last night was the first time I noticed Kobe with what looked like an ice pack on his back. It could just be that I never noticed because they never showed it on TV.
