Knicks/Mavs GAME THREAD - New Streak? 1:00 PM

Clyde_Style · Post #121 » by **Clyde_Style** » Sun Feb 19, 2012 7:33 am

Somehow I feel Smith will be the easiest of him, Melo and Stat to work into the offensive flow. As long as Lin is orchestrating, Smith will get his shots.

That said, if he starts tomorrow, it could be an instant impact for us. We probably would have won the last game with Smith's scoring.

Not certain about this, but my gut says this guy will be immediately useful. Would be fun to see him play against Dallas.

If he can play well vs Jason Kidd and the championship Mavs, his biggest hater is going to have to give him credit..

Delonte West, Jason terry (questionable), and Roddy are out.

They have 3 guards total (healthy). and have been playing odom at SG (they were against phillly on espn)

That defense is all MDA's doing as Amare's coach for almost all his career. :lol:

What is with this childish desire for people to be publicly called out? That's not the way men or professionals handle things.

It would serve no constructive purpose than satisfying your personal frustration.

Very true. I especially liked how a few games ago MDA said that fans have to let up on JJ. There's no need in booing someone who gives it his all. Much more so that Stat. Although I do cringe at times when he has the ball, lol.

Its obvious. They're not going to play JR Smith today cuz today's game is almost a certain loss vs the great Mavs and they don't wan't it to look like the JR Smith acquisition sucks. Also they are not going to play Melo because if we lose in his first game back the media will kill him.

He should at least give him a few minutes if Fields suck as badly as Friday.

Marion gonna be on Lin since Melo don't play.

He shut down Ty Lawson, Jrue Holiday and Ricky Rubio.

Matrix da Neo... but Lin is da Oracle. Don't mess with Lin, bitch

Just heard on espn that Dallas is the number one ranked defense on pick & roll plays this season. Not sure this bodes well for Lin's turnover problems. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Marion guards Lin.

lol what are the odds that the scrub of the night is Vince Carter.. dropping 40 with an insane dunk punctuated by an interview proclaiming Vinsanity is back!! ...only to be back to his scrub ways the very next game.

Retired_Doc · Post #138 » by **Retired_Doc** » Sun Feb 19, 2012 3:26 pm

Official Vegas odds have just now been posted---Mavs are favored by only two points---that's pretty low considering we have no Melo---soooo that means Vegas respects the Knicks and Mr. Lin

If Mike insist on playing Landry against him, the odds are good that we see a return of prime VC. Fields is over a decade younger yet considerably slower afoot. If Shump is guarding him, it's a different story.
