We're about to go on a huge run.

KP/Melo/Lee/Holiday/Rose > Chandler/Melo/JR/Pablo/Felton

So is today an ECF day Jason?

What's Chris Copeland doing nowadays? He can help backup KP at the 5.

We would have been in the ECF if Woodson played him instead of Tyson

I'm sending you in for a diagnostic. I think you mean replace JR who was outbricking John Starks vs. Indiana while Cope got yanked every time he made a three. Cope was not going to anchor the paint in place of Tyson. Cope was the one Knick who was hitting from deep and he got buried on the bench until the series was out of reach

That will be our new death lineup. We keep the game close with Noah in there and then unleash the hounds at the end of the 2nd and 4th quarters.

They can't bench Noah because he makes $72M for the next 4 years. We probably should have gotten someone younger and cheaper if all we needed was a punching bag for opposing centers to preserve KP. It is what it is.

Mavs really suck huh.. Losing to the lowly Knicks

Heyyyyy Yuri. How bout them knicks huh. Did you enjoy the game?

We won, but It's more of Mavs sucking.. Anderson shot like 0-10000.

[dakomish23]

I wish I could only support a player when they're doing well and beg to trade them the second they're not.

I wish we could trade Melo now and not have to watch him for three more years, but when he plays well I'll compliment him for a job well done

I wish folks weren't so proud to make such statements. Why are you acting as if it's some badge of honor to support your players when they're doing well and abandoning ship at the first dark cloud?

The emotion of pride doesn't enter into it. It is no more honorable to get flustered at every criticism than to make a criticism so honor has nothing to do with it either. The only cross to bear here is yours. You can choose to get wound up over it or not.

And I'm right here. I didn't abandon the ship. The ship is called the New York Knicks, not the New York Melos. So me not wanting to watch Melo for three more years is me not wanting to watch Melo for three more years. I'll probably still be afflicted with the disease of watching this team whether he is on it or not. I just hope he is off the team before the end of his contract.

My prerogative to feel that way. I don't care if you like it though.

[Mecca]

Our best lineup:

Rose
Lee
Holiday
Melo
KP

the only bad thing for you my man mec is I said this in the rotation thread a week or two ago. I demand those 6 and1's you got be diverted to me.

LOL, i'ma search yours posts for 6 and 1's when I'm on my mac. However, in the SUMMER I called this our death lineup that I wanted in the end of games

[matchman]

Bogut starts in GS too, it doesn't really matter. Bogut normally plays around 15-20 minutes in 1st and 3rd quarter.

And players' minutes should depend on matchup, PF count and conditioning. There's no need to have a fixed formula.

Hornacek knows it and I think we should too.

You think I give a damn what your prerogative is? I didn't ask for your retort. You felt the need to spread your fair weather fandom.

This isn't the New York Kristaps. This is the New York Knicks. I'm an fan of the name on the of the front of the jersey. That's why I support my team's main players in good times and bad.

It's a novel concept. Try it sometime

[Indomitable]

I can't believe you guys are taking credit away from Justin Holiday, who made all the difference. It wasn't the benching of Noah that was the x factor, it was the hounding defense of Holiday that made all the difference. The way he clamped down on Barnes was magnificent. The Mavs are small and not a physical team, this was a great adjustment from Hornacek. Carmelo abused Mathews in the 2nd half. Our guard play was awful tonight, Rose, Jennings and Courtney Lee all had bad nights.

Porzingis was aggressive and I loved the 6 free throws, been wanting him to earn more trips to the line. I liked how active he was in crashing boards, need more of that from him.

I also liked Maurice NDour. He is an active defender and knows how to make quick rotations and close outs.

But man Justin Holiday was awesome

Ugly first half but I liked the way we came together in the 2nd half and got a much needed win

People to busy bitching

Fair weather fan? Neither true, nor clever.

And you should give a damn about what my prerogative is because I support your prerogative to be believe whatever you want as long as you can express it without a personal attack.

And as far as your definition of what a fan is I completely disagree with you. I don't have to unilaterally support Melo because he is a Knick. That makes sense only to you.

I don't like the way Melo plays. Tough chit buddy. I don't like watching him play. Too bad. Deal with it.

I would prefer that he excels as a Knick, but that doesn't mean I want him to stay a Knick.

I don't take marching orders from you about how to be a fan so go live your life and I'll live mine.

I live by the principle that you can be any kind of fan you want to be and I don't tell you how to do that. Your principles are not my principles. And I don't care if you agree.

Since when is logical to start an inferior lineup that consistently puts you in a 10pt hole within minutes, and then hope you can dig yourself out later with your most effective lineup?

The Warriors "death" lineup puts you away after their OG starting 5 already has you down 15 & hemorrhaging.

Our "big" starting lineup is clumsy and puts us at a huge defensive disadvantage.
