GT#20: Manhattan @ Brooklyn - 12/11 - 7pm on ESPN

Legal wrecklessness is Crash and then JR's blatant body check are two different ends of the spectrum...but if you want to debate that other players can get hurt because of Wallace's physical play, well of course thats possible, this ain't hopscotch...

Crash's intentions are to be physical on the floor, not cheap...we've seen him pick up the opposition off the floor or extend a hand if his physical play goes too far without meaning to do so...in no way is he trying to hurt a player...

To be honest I find it funny that some would point out how Crash is too physical so to speak...go back 15-20yrs, this was nothing...the game has gone soft IMO, this isn't even a debate and the concern is humorous...

Wish there was more ball like the old school Pistons, Knicks and Pacers...go watch some old film, Oakley used to cause contact w/ the opposition walking out of huddle after a timeout...come on now...

Long live 90's ball.

I wouldn't say it was a body check. But everything else I agree with. Wallace has always been one of my favorite players because of his motor and toughness.

I grew up with those early to mid 90s knicks so I def know what your talking about and its something I miss about the game. No flopping rule has def helped the game out a ton so fat this year.

JR impeded the path of Gerald by using his body...

Brooklyn won the first game by hitting shots that crushed the 7-8pt Knicks lead and Melo playing 50+ minutes. Brook Lopez was the playoer of the game in that first meeting hands down. Knicks won the second game by battling back from a 17pt deficit a few breaks, and Melo going for 45.

I think JR Smith is an awful human being, I'm not the type to say things like that just over a game, or wish injury on someone or whatever.

I always think that about JR, but last night I said it aloud cause I was pissed in the heat of the moment.

Every person in this world is not good or likable and JR happens to be a true piece of **** who no one other then his family and close friends should defend, IMHO. And it's not just that he's a goofy free spirit idiot, it's that he's a harmful malicious goon of a thug masked behind the tired of excuse of he's immature. Well guess what, he's almost 30, he's no kid anymore, that doesn't cut it.

And yes I think your posts are often crap. You and Truth Serum are probably the 2 worst high count posters on your board, always some nonsense and constant facepalming logic and opinion on the GB.

I don't know if I'm a great poster, I really don't care what most think of me anyway, so whatever, I just find most of your stuff cringe worthy.

I am a Knix hater though, that's for sure, but on a complete aside I give credit where it's due and try not to let my bias run too wild just as an in general.

You forgot me

Once I hit 1045 posts maybe you can increase my o/u to 2k?

There is nothing "90's" about Gerald Wallace ... I can see Reggie Evans is rubbing off on him as he did Blake Griffin.

im okay wit crashs play.. nothin about it.. but i accept jr's play aswell.. and i dont judge him for that.

im sure one of the nets' players also did the same at any time in this season.. so who cares? Everybody is and should be cheering for their teams.. its alrite, we just have to live with the results of that style of play. no crying and blabla
