When is the last time anyone from Inside the NBA ever said the Knicks are going anywhere let alone the NBA finals. Wow! I really hope this team doesn't embarrass themselves this year.

Are we ignoring our overall history out of jest or is it willful naivety?

mitch out...i still won

Watch on YouTube

No extension, Huk starting game 1, could be the end of Mitch's time in NY if Huk looks good. It's IHart all over again, you'll be hating on Ariel soon enough. Sad.

mitch has proven himself in the playoffs over and over. he's not easy to replace. you know it's true. i'm not even arguing this sh*t anymore. if you say otherwise, you're just lying. if huk looks good, it's cool. we need two defensive centers. i wanted horford here. he might have demanded to start. and if that's what it took they should have done it. instead they overpaid a fat precious who can't play defense. make it make sense.

I have accomplished my goal for tonight's opener, got you to type out more than 2 sentences.


Just wait till Yabu gets down to 275lbs, we'll be fine then.

I was looking forward to Inside The NBA being gone. I did not expect them to be involved through ESPN tonight. They are massively overrated.

Kenny can stay, but Shaq and Charles might hurt the game more than help. We need guys who actually enjoy watching the game to comment on it.

I think this will be their last season to be honest.

It's really Shaq, he's the worst. The show was fine before he showed up, after he came around it just became this forum in TV form.

it's just barkley really. he's the talent. you could put him with a lot of guys and he'll still be funny.

if someone was smart up there they should go after teague or lou will and spank when this ends. someone like that. people like the show because it's funny. we don't need to see dwayne wade or whoever up there.

Last season was the final straw for me. Kinda realized that they were everything wrong with nba coverage. They have their moments and can be funny but they’ve spent way too much time defending their careers and era without being ambassadors for the game. Shaq is the biggest villain of the group when it comes to that. Dudes considered a top 10 player in history and he’s mad insecure about everything other big man in the game. I’ve got a bunch of issues with silver but the one thing that he was 100% right about is the nba needing better media.

Honestly for me it was their overwhelming unbearable presence at the all star game

Game is on MSG for anyone that gets it

[Zenzibar]

Wow, we're here!

Excited to see Mike Brown tonight and exactly what management vision to morph the Knicks into a higher level team looks like.

We as fans complained about the minutes last year, about Mikal speaking out and here we have a reknown coach with the perfect philosophy to compliment what Thibs left behind.

Thibs got us here, and I'm grateful. But Thibs philosophy wore out the starters and the bench wasn't prepared for the playoff grind.
Mike Brown tries to develop the team collectively, where more players are gelling and closer to the imapct the starters have.

This reminded me of when Torre replaced Showalter and led by their captain, the rest is Yankee lore.

I'm just a Shaq hater, all the stories that come out about the stuff he's done in locker rooms would have gotten him stabbed or shot if I were his teammate and he did it to me. Hearing his takes on TNT, and knowing all the foul **** he's done, I can't listen to that dude talk about anything. Plus, he sounds like his mouth is full of gauze when he speaks.

Teague would be a much better hire than Arenas, I don't know what any network is thinking getting him involved, he's entirely too unstable to have on TV.

[god shammgod]

i can't believe we're back in the era where the leg opening on the pants covers the whole shoe. pants scraping the concrete and picking up dirt as you walk. nah man. i'm good on that.

Completely forgot about but yeah that was insufferable. It’s like guys you do a halftime show. You’re not reporting the news. You make jokes during the highlights simmer down a little bit.
