Well said

The details of these proclamations about the rosy state of the Knicks keep getting adjusted downward.

Curry is such a great shooter. Such a smooth shot.

Lin might need to work on his conditioning, but I remember during Linsanity he always looked as if he was about to pass out on the court too. His tongue was turning blue ffs. :lol:

We're in a downfall though. See where we are in a couple of weeks.

they're sooooo much fun watching though when they hit their shots. beautiful passing from every position no matter who is on the court.

They should be interesting in the playoffs.

The expectations get lower and lower, don't they? If the Knicks get bounced out in the first round by Boston or Chicago, are you going to be one of those fans who say, well, Knicks are cursed, you can't rely on 40 year olds and Amare's bum knee? Or is it really the Knicks really setting themselves up for failure?

If the Nets can't win a game at home vs. the Hawks which would tie them with the Knicks, I question whether they have what it takes to catch up this season. The Knicks' losing streak won't continue forever.

Anyone still think Lin is good after tonights whooping by Curry? :lol:

If we're judging players on how bad Curry lights them up then Ray should be playing in the Philippines.

Lin got hot in the 3rd and then did pretty much nothing the rest of the game. Steph and Klay, man when those guys are locked in from downtown, you might as well accept the L, pack your sh*t, and go home.

The Nets can't convert anything inside this quarter.

i've told you this many times before. if you don't like a post, report, it and let the mods handle it. if you don't wanna hear about lin or felton, then do not post in here. it's that simple. you're only bringing trouble to yourself.

THANK YOU. He makes it sound like someone is supposed to censor people who say things he doesn't agree with, or dislikes. As long as it's not a personal attack or offensive, shouldn't people be allowed to post whatever they want about NBA players/teams in the AROUND THE NBA thread? It's okay to disagree, but to suggest that someone should be doing something about people who want to voice their opinions...Come on man...

Well, when 53/79 million of your cap space is banged up/not playing.. it's hard to play "told you so" and tie it back to "Melo ISOs," Lin, and all the other talking points.

If you want to complain about reliance on 3s, lack of defensive intensity etc etc -- i'm all with ya. Not the same team we saw at the beginning of the year... And I think a variety of factors are to blame. "Melo ISOs" "The Melo trade" "Lin" and the like aren't high up on that list- as much as these people would like them to be.

Looks like he played pretty good... 9-16 21pts 4 assists... but the team was 9-35 from 3 and the bench a woeful
6-25 and if you throw in Parsons 2-11 and Motie's 2-13 that's 10-49 from players not named Asik, Harden, or Lin yuck.. an awful shooting performance.. and that bench production.. wow!

Klay's a little overrated. GSW fans criticize him quite a bit. He's young though, he'll mature and get better. HOU won the series 3 - 1.

Anyone watching the Dallas game? Guessing by the box score (Yeah maybe not the best idea...) it looks like Nowitzki is playing well. Is he back close to 100% now?

Also, what's been going on with Durant lately?
