I guess that works.

I hear you. Definitely seems like the nicest guy in the World.

I love Faried, Chandler and Iggy on the court at the same time. That's athleticism.

you know Ken Bannister never had a year with even 10 ppg. I guess it was easier to be an animal in those days.

I love Wilson's game. Not sure why he doesn't get more burn since coming back. He can knock down the three and is athletic as hell when driving. A lot of energy, and tempered. Too bad he's locked up for next few years, wonder if Denver trades him.

Nate Robinson with a 4-point play.

Lawson is a great fit for that too..super quick, doesn't stop running and can score if you take away his passing options. Someone mentioned being upset that we just missed on Curry, but I'm even more bothered at the PG's we had could have had period and overlooked.

I wouldn't be surprised if he got traded for a draft pick from a team like the Pistons.

I haven't been watching the 3rd quarter of the Miami-Boston game, but it looks as if Boston is hanging on.

Yeah Lawson is an all star next year. And he was a winner from a great program. Total miss on that one.

The Heat keep knocking, but the C's answer with little runs and Green is just giving them the business. I still think the Heat win it eventually though.

It seems crazy now that the Knicks couldn't find a use for Corey Brewer.

Yea, Boston hasn't let up but Miami hasn't backed down either. Great game. Who you pulling for j4? My honest take on it, is it doesn't matter to me. The Knicks just need to win tonight. Part of me wants to see Miami's win streak finally stop, but the other part want's Boston to drop a game which does help our Knicks more than a Miami loss. But yea, I can't decide who I'd rather see lose?

That's Antoni for you. Dude couldn't shoot 3's so Pringles found him useless.

You can't decide? We're trying to hang on to the division. Of course you want Miami to win. :lol:

I really want the streak to end. Wouldn't it burn you up if the Heat were called the best team of all time?

I'm actually firmly in the let Miami win for the rest of the season camp. I want them more worried about the streak than resting players. I LOVED seeing Bron come off the court screaming and come out playing hard D on Pierce...because I expect fatigue to set in if he has to play this hard night in and night out down the stretch.

P.S. Jordan Crawford is a very good piece on a winning team's bench.

You have a point. I won't pull for a Miami win, but I will pull for a Boston loss. And if you read my post above without jumping the gun, you would see where I clearly stated that a Boston loss would be better for our Knicks when compared to a Miami loss. So, let's not act like I don't have a strong understanding of the playoff/division picture. I've spoke upon it all season long. But on the flip side, I don't want Miami to get this all-time record. New York and Miami are true NBA rivals dating back to the 90's and as a Knicks fan, who lives in Florida, I personally have a dislike for everything Miami Heat. And it runs deeper than just LeBron James too. Pat Riley? A snake in my book. To make a long story short, I understand that a Miami win helps our Knicks tonight. I believe we all do. But at the same time, I won't cry over a Miami loss tonight. Just means our Knicks must beat Utah.

I hate Miami too, but there win steak can end against a different opponent. The division comes first.
