If we win, it will be the first time we've won 2 out of 3 games in a month.

Still only 2 games out of the right to get swept by CLE. The EC is a mess. If we just won the games where we had a lead in the final minute during this abysmal stretch - MIL / PHI / ATL / WAS ((1st 3 we had a double digit lead in the 4th) - we'd be in 5th place right now. 4 wins and we go from 11th to 5th.

Play 48 minutes of basketball for once. I have yet to hear anybody representing the Knicks say this.

Do you prefer a treadmill team or an actual contender in a few years?

This upcoming draft is one of the greatest ever.


We aren't even a treadmill team. Right now, we're just a bad team. Because bad teams find ways to lose and nobody finds more ways to lose than this team.

I hope Melo takes 50 shots en route to a narrow Knicks loss. But again, it's every one else's fault. Yeah, looking at you Frank Isola. Right now, George Karl stands vindicated. All Melo can offer is scoring but he compromises the team so much on defense that his offensive numbers are for naught.

Loss should be the last straw for Melo..

But yeah, they will probably win this one.

Phil should've went after Batum and Pau Gasol instead of Noah and Lee!!

Batum is a Odom-type of player... And you can use Rose slashing game for a real triangle lineup!!

Gasol/KP
Melo/KOQ
Batum/Kuz
Holiday/Baker
Rose/Jennings

Like the dildo that he is, he took 27 shots (2 for 12 after his 25 pt quarter) against Washington. Why would he stop against a team that is going to bite on trading shots? Especially with KP being used like Luc Longley at the 5. :crazy:

This game has all the makings of a potential disaster.

Tyson Chandler has been playing out of his mind and he's way to physical down low for a kid like KP. O'Quinn is the perfect antidote but coach Buddy Holly is not much of a waiter.

This is going to give Melo a license to chuck. He's got ZERO worries as the Suns have no front court.

Now why worry?

Well Bledsoe can run circles around anyone the Knicks put on him. The Suns are going to try to win the pts off turnovers and the Knicks are not known to be the best at protecting the ball.

So it should be a Knicks win but it wouldn't shock me if the Knicks lose in the worst way possible.

Why KP is always starting from the bench for you?

You don't like the dude or what is the problem with you, when it comes to KP?
Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.
