GREAT! this 31/31 is plastered all over ESPN as breaking news

Of course it is. At least ESPN will lose half its SC anchors to autoerotic asphyxiation accidents.

Oh goodie. Look how much the Knicks **** suck world! I’m out of here.

Is it possible to get Love and Pekovic from Mini? That would be a killer deal you would get an instant beast front court!

hard to make a deal with the Wolves - all their salaries are lowball - MWebster and Love for Turk works, but why woudl they do it


the only thing we have going there is that Love apparently is really unhappy. On the other hand, he's got 2 years left on his contract so happy or not, he's got little to say about it

on the other hand - it's Minny. They could do anything and surprise nobody

This thread wishes we could play the Knicks more often...

I have to leave you as my girl is yelling at me for getting ready for lunch, but god, these Knicks are painful to watch. When is it going to stop? We need World Trade Center back... Everything went wrong since he got hit...

I could see shaq when he first came into the league.. there was no one his size, with his strength and athliticsm.. NO one.. so I could see shaq getting 30/30 because of sheer dominance and size.. but kevin love? a guy who can't jump, is not a good athlete and not that big or tall? Inexcuseable..

and honestly, we let beasley and that dopey hairdo go for 35? Knicks have issues.. for real.. very disapointing..

Beasley is a stupid chucker with a lot of skill. He will put up great box scores on a terrible Twolves team. He will put up great numbers this year, because he will get the ball on every play.

Also the Knicks are terrible and that made him look better than he is, see Kevin Love and his 30/30.

Chandler could never do the things Beasley was doing tonight. He put the team on his back in the clutch and was that go to guy we lacked. He was beasting us with all star moves. IDC about his PPS because he scored when it mattered. His mid range game was flawless.

Look Im not saying he will reach Melo status so calm down people. Im just saying if anybody can its him. He was compared to Melo alot and what I saw tonight looked very much like a young Melo. Remember hes only 21 years old and dominated college just as much as Melo. This isnt some out of left field comparison. Plus he just dropped 42 a few nights ago. Hes doin work.

Beasleyis a dope.. hehad a 42 pt game the other night as well.. the guy likes to shoot and he can score.. but 35 points on 29 shots is not good... He is really not a good defender and doesn't play with great court awareness.. check back 15 games from now when beasley is chucking shots and missing and losing games for the wolves..

chandler is a different player.. in that chandler doesn't have beasley's offensive talent, but chandler is more of a two way player, he will impact the game in different ways..

beasley is not in melo's universe... if it was too early to say chandler's game has evloved, well certainly we can say the same thing about beasley after a couple of good games.. especially comparing him to melo..

Beasley doesn't have a position in the NBA. He's not a SF and he's not a PF. That makes him nothing more than a bench scorer on a great team. But the Wolves suck so he's the starter by default.

The Knicks make everyone look like superstars. It looked like the Lakers moved back to Minny for awhile out there.

I figured you would pop up with this type of post.. but honestly, when you compare players, you take more than skill into thought.. it is mental make up as well... gallo is a seemingly stable and smart kid on the court.... beasley is a mental midget and a dope... ones mental make up has a lot to do with the kind of player he can become.. that is why it is laughable to think curry could become another shaq, although he had all the physical ability.. well most of us feel the same way.. Melo is a well grounded , smart basketball player... beasley is a dope, a bafoon, a guy who dyes his hair blond and grows dreads looking like a cross dressing las vegas drag queen.. he is the court jester... so that is why most of us don't feel he is in the same universe melo is in.. I suspect in 20 games or so, minny will be complaining about beasley... He just seems like that type of guy.. I can look in a persons eyes and tell a lot about them sometimes.. when I look at beasley, I see a guy who miami didn't just trade to make room for the big 3, but they had no more interest in that head case regardless...

expect better? really.. that is what you should expect.. that I have standards.. beasley is a dope, a bum, a bafoon.. I don't care if he is 21.. I have standards... of course everyone deserves a second chance, but beasley comes across as a guy who has used up a bunch of second chances..

you think he will be good.. well I don't know what your interpretation of good is, but for me, I have very little expectations from the guy, and would not be suprised if minny dumps him by the trade deadline....

Klomp, you beat me to the first quote of the ridiculous TKF. It takes a buffoon to know a "bafoon," I guess.

Whether I feel down about anything, I just visit Knicks forum to feel better. Damn they are a miserable bunch.

[Tirion]

He's on my fantasy team I watched him twice this year and his rebounding skill is just nasty. He knows where the ball lands every single time, he uses his strength to fight for position for the boards, he's got quick hands, he hustles on the board like Noah does. So in conclusion, Bargnani, you suck. Go learn how to rebound, biatch.

Can we somehow pull some strings and get Bargs training with Kevin Love all summer?

Kevin Love wouldn't teach him anything, he would just be massaging his own ego pleased at grabbing 50 rebounds over Bargnani's 1 in scrimmages. Besides we already have Reggie Evans.

From Raptors board. The last one made me

He's one of the biggest clowns on realgm, fitting that he mods that forum. He's most entertaining when he tries to use grown up words, given his tenuous grasp on the english language.

Two Knicks posters:

Michael Beasley is a good player on a bad team. Nothing special beyond that.... these types of players get chances to dominate the ball on bad teams... on good teams, they can't be volume shooters, so they have significantly less impact..

Keep downplaying a player that scores above 50% on the consistent basis, in his first opportunity of being the man. Him and Kevin Love are on their way to becoming the best frontcourt in the league.

Not sure where I saw it, but some guy said he wouldn't trade Beasley for Kobe or LeBron. Insane.

That'd be me.

[Krapinsky]

I wouldn't be a Wolves fan if we had Kobe or Lebron, so I agree with that dude.
