The Game Tonight

A couple weeks ago I mentioned that if we trade Randolph and keep Curry..he would regain some motivation and desire to play(which rallies the whole team as we saw tonight) Now I no it hurts to be proved wrong by a 'ball boy" and i no we lost...but seeing the Knicks in a close game was the most fun i have had watching this team in a while. Without 8-24 shooting coming from Zach, we saw a team playing together and having fun. As for the last play, Isiah could have won Marburys respect back by giving him the ball in the final possession. It would have been the least he could do

Are you **** kiddng me? Spurs had a terrible game thats why they kept it this close...also Ginobili didn't play who practically carrys the team when they most need it. Duncan was turble and Parker was crap.

So its not about trying to win? its about gaining stephs respect back?

I don't think it has to do with Zach. Just like I didn't think the Knicks were better without Marbury.

We didn't lose by ten though like we usually do. I would say thats a pretty satifying game. its the spurs too

Yeah that's basically the reason the Knicks lost. Because they were up against top notch competition. The Knicks played very well tonight. We should savor it, because they won't play this well again for at least a couple of weeks.

I just don't understand why we can't run a play late in a game instead of going one on one with Crawford. Can anyone figure out his percentage late in games? Granted he has made a few, but my guess is he has missed a lot more. I like Jamal, but there has to be a better play late in games.

No it is about winning, what the hell are you talking about? So giving it to Crawford was a better option? He really made you look good there. Since his arrival giving it to Crawford for the final show works 1 out of every 10 times

shows why we shodn't be desperate to trade curry

don32979 · Post #11 » by **don32979** » Sat Jan 5, 2008 4:01 am

Why can't we get effort like this every night? How hard is it to play like you really care? Don't they have any pride? I just don't get it.

I disagree strongly. The Knicks need to trade Curry right now after tonight's game. there might be some sucker GM willing to look at tonight's game and still think Curry has potential. Sigh, but of course that won't happen.

Isiah just sold this game to Dolan. "We can hang with the champs for 48 minutes, see!"

i mean. if we can get shorter contracts and a first rounder then i'd do it. i'm just saying we shouldnt just trade him for anything.

We need to trade Randolph. He doesn't pass and shoots 8 for 25 from the feild pretty much every night. His stats lie, he doesn't pass, he can rebound though right? so can david Lee and he can do it without taking 28 shots like a moron and ruining this basketball team.

randomhero423 · Post #16 » by **randomhero423** » Sat Jan 5, 2008 4:05 am

that i agree with. we can get some value for him as well.

I think that most teams in the NBA have close to the same level of talent. I think that on any given night any team can win. I think the Knicks are a badly constructed team and a badly coached team. That being said, I do not think that COMING CLOSE to getting a road win is cause for celebration. The team was very motivated because they were playing the champions and because they have been trashed in a nonchalant manner by their coach.

The Knicks lose because

a KEY PLAYER doesn't play with effort every night: Curry.

a KEY PLAYER doesn't understand his shot is off and he's out of shape: QRich.

2 KEY PLAYERS are very inconsistent players who need tons of shots to put up numbers: Crawford and Zach.

a KEY PLAYER is upset that he is no longer the leader of the team and the offense doesn't revolve around his game: Steph.

the COACH doesn't stick to the plan and take out those who do not follow it. Instead, he modifies the plan as soon as one of his KEY PLAYERS complain. And, those guys are constantly bytching.
