reading through it, i have trouble disagreeing with them.

You have trouble agreeing with anything. You sat up here to argue how awful a matchup the Hawks were and they don't even have the balls to play the Nets in the 1st round. In fact, last night the Hawks were the laughingstock of TNT.

The Bulls are by far the most cocky fans in the league. It's not surprising they would say such while their starters are struggling to beat the Wizards with 9 players that our entire bench just beat.


I have trouble agreeing with homers picking us to win in 5 games to a team that beat us 3 of 4 in the regular season despite tons of injuries.

they will now beat us in 5, and you blame it on reggie evans.

You seriously bumped this thread for this post? Not because of the Clipper/Grizzlies game but so you can pout your chest?...You looking to get banned or something? You're becoming very annoying now.

There is nothing that I regret saying either. We are all fans of this team. We have every right in the world to give our team a change before the playoffs. Fact is, we wet the bed. The Bulls having "no trouble" beating us is inaccurate. If that were the case every loss should have been by 20 points but again, that never happened in ANY game for 48 minutes.

Nobody cares to be right or wrong. Funny thing is you were the biggest embarrassing homer back in the summer when I listed all the reason why the Knicks could have a better season and be a legit Top 4 team and you listed a bunch of hilarious posts about how old and useless they are. Overrating Teletovic when I knew damn well he was going to struggle.

Want me to bump that too? I'm not responding to any of your posts going forward.

Yeah...Go Nets. I was in the mode of prove it. Prove to me Deron is a go to star. Prove to me Brook you arent the aloof guy who is less invested in winning that you are in finding this week's Batman comic book. JJ prove to me you can still be an all star level talent. Crash...prove me wrong that you arent washed up. Bench...show me that you can be quality support guys.

So far? Lopez is the one guy who I am pleased with.

PJ is as bad as I knew he was..so I am not shocked or disappointing nor can I make him the main focus of my frustration. Order of blame goes in order of importance.

Start with D-_ill and go down the line.

^ Well, here's the thing: They proved you right on the offensive side of the ball.... We saw glimpses of what could have been if Wallace was productive on both ends instead of a walking corpse and a PF that could make layups and finish inside. We saw gimpses of Deron/Brook manhandling and looking effortless in doing it at times and that is all we saw.

Mental side of the ball? Nope.

Defense side of the ball? Nope.

Pretty much the entire struggles, frustration that we all saw during the regular season came out in one game.

- Good start
- turnovers
- fight back
- take a lead
- lose a lead
- make clutch baskets
- let the other team hit clutch baskets
- don't get stops
- don't get key rebounds

So, basically if this was a Prove it Game: They proved they can score and look unstoppable and they proved they are mentally weak, not focused and lacking a true road warrior mentality.

I will give credit to PetroNet for calling that. At the end of the day, talent is there, the elite team mindset to close out a must win game is not. All it comes down too.

And yes, that starts from top to bottom coaching, stars, bench everybody. The series was over in Game 2. It was wishful thinking they could remotely play with any sort of fortitude in Games 3 and 4.

After seeing teams like the Knicks, Clippers get embarrassed in the playoffs and rebound with a hunger to win. I'm really interested to see what this team and it's top talent does next season because that will REALLY expose them. No excuses then. 2 years under the belt, a new coach, probably new bench, system, healthy from the start, etc.

Melo is the 3rd player in NBA history to have just 10 or less FGM on 35+ FGA.
