2011-12 NBA Season

[Snacks]

I just had my draft and the only players I got that I really had to or wanted were Dwight Howard and Humphries who I got mid rounds. I have a decent team but forgot to draft Robin Lopez for my bench. He went undrafted so Im hoping to get him with the waiver wire. This will be his break out year. I can see him going like 15-17 points and 7-8 rebs a game.

you mean that will be his avg in 3 games right?

[Snoogans]

my draft was an auction. i think it actually went ok for me:

PG Deron Williams 45
SG Joe Johnson 15
SF Carmelo Anthony 39
PF Joakim Noah 9
C Dwight Howard 50
G Ty Lawson 15
F Danilo Gallinari 8
UTIL Marc Gasol 6
UTIL Jason Richardson 4
BE Toney Douglas 1
BE Nicolas Batum 1
BE Shawn Marion 1
BE Tyler Hansbrough 1
BE John Salmons 1
Total: 196
Remaining: 4

[Snacks]

you mean that will be his avg in 3 games right?

if he stays the starter and or can get close to 30 mins a game i can easily see him going 15 and 6. i know its early, only 2 game and hes got about 24 mins a game and he has 14 and 6. i think he can be a solid guy to have on your fantasy bench if your center goes down. remember that center isnt that deep in fantasy and not everyone has a d howard on their team.

Sources: Warriors Face Multiple Sexual Harassment Allegations (http://www.slamonline.com/online/nba/2011/12/sources-warriors-face-multiple-sexual-harassment-allegations/)

A little over a week after a former Golden State Warriors official sued the team for sexual harassment and wrongful termination, SLAMonline has learned the Warriors have faced other allegations of sexual harassment since majority owner Joe Lacob completed his purchase of the team in November, 2010.

One of the accusers has since left the Warriors and is now employed by a separate NBA franchise. Sources have also informed SLAMonline that at least two other former Warriors employees accusing the team of sexual harassment during Lacob’s ownership have settled their cases.
Stay classy Golden State!

The disaster we all know as the knicks have been rumored by Stephen A Smith to be in trade talks with the magic for Dwight Howard. They would give up Amare and Chandler for Howard. I dont like this for orlando but for the knicks its great. Amare has a huge uninsured-able contract because of his knees. Chandler s a 10-10 guy who has a huge freshly signed contract for imo more then he is worth. If this trade happens it could help them big. Melo, Dwight and Deron would likely be able to sign there. He has said he likes living in the NY area.

At this point I know the nets probably arent getting him which is fine because we arent going to keep Deron either. I actually hope the idiots in charge realize this too and trade him while we can get something back in return. I liked the trade when it was made but watching him play every night is so frustrating. He cant shoot at least not at home. I read somewhere that he has said the pru center is the worst basketball arena and that the black and red devils seats fuck with their eyes or something like that. Morrow agreed with him so maybe there is something to that?

i really wish you would listen to shit. No one offered anything, no one is talkin, the knicks cant even deal chandler for another 27 days. They called us simply to see if we would be willing to talk about a deal involving them, so they know what each team is willing to talk about come the deadline. No one is actually talking deals right now.

That being said, i dont see how the nets, mavs, lakers or clippers would offer anything near that. Its not really about amare and tyson the players. partly orlando has to make sure they at least get back a big enough name to not piss of the fan base. that alone is why it could happen. But nothing is actually going on, not yet

[Snoogans]

also, there is some thought they may deal melo, since everyone is gettin pissed about him stopping the offense. we cant even run a play cause he dribbles around for fuckin 10 seconds before he does anything. Apparently they had a players only meeting today where melo called the team and asked them to tell him what he is doing that isnt right so they can become a team. I fuckin hope it works.

I really wish you would read what I wrote. ESPN reported that SAS said this. I didnt hear it from his mouth and i sure as hell dont listen to his radio show if he has one. So Im repeating what I HEARD on espn. I also said that the rumor was they were in trade talk not that it was offered so maybe you should look at what I wrote instead of adding or making shit up to try to make yourself sound more knowledgeable about a situation. Did I say it was offered? No I said that it was rumored that they were in trade talks. Once again this is what ESPN said. I really wish you would stop analyzing every single word if you werent here to know exactly what I heard. Im guessing you didnt watch ESPN this afternoon when I heard this? So please stop telling me what you think I heard when all I did was report exactly what I heard!

they arent in trade talks. there was no talk of anything. they called and basically asked if we would discuss those guys in any kinda trade in a month or so. I dont know if we even said yes. and i didnt make myself knowledgeable about anything. I just got done listenin to stupid SAS explain exactly what he said. You didnt HEAR anything. I saw the thing on ESPN and heard SAS say it and in both instances they said "orlando has inquired with the knicks whether they would discuss amare and tyson in a deal" it never said they were talkin about a deal for DH, as you claim to have heard. No one ever said that. Im on ESPN.com right now, it doesnt say that. I had on ESPN all day before work, no one said that. then i had on SAS, and he didnt say that.

So you are telling me that I didnt hear ESPN say SAS rumored that Orlando and the knocks discussed Amare and Chandler for Howard? You are telling me that I never heard that and it was never mentioned today? Ok thanks I thought I was watching and hearing things but I guess you were sitting right next to me as I watched. Wheww thought I was going crazy.

I never said I read it on espn.com and never said I heard SAS say it directly out of his mouth. I said I heard it on espn! They discussed it during pti and it was said so maybe you missed it but please dont tell me what I heard or saw. I posted my original post as it was being discussed around 5:50pm. So yes I did hear it maybe you didnt.

you do realize you are arguing semantics. calling about a trade to see if a player is available to trade is the same thing as talking trade? you are just nit picking to try to prove something like you are in the know and have all the info. or better yet to knit pick at something to try to call someone out because you love being a dick. all i was saying was they discussed this today on espn and i wouldnt do it. so in a round about way it was discussed but not in the terms you want to say they were but orl did call ny and this was a topic but not really but it was kind of...

So yes I did hear it maybe you didnt.

i just listened to SAS scream about people like you who said he said that when he didnt. im gonna guess you just heard wrong, like most of the people he was just screaming about. im pretty sure based on that, that espn wouldnt go do the same thing. again, they inquired if the knicks would even talk about those guys in a deal is what they said today. they never said, and i watched PTI, so i know what they said, that they discussed a deal. all they said was orlando asked if we would discuss a deal involving those 2. never actually talked about one, the knicks cant even talk about it for 60 days after signing chandler. But yes, i saw pti, and they said on it what i said. Never said what you claimed to hear. never said they discussed any deals. just that they asked the knicks if they would discuss one for them later.

[Snoogans]

and fyi, orlando also did the same thing to LAL and LAC. basically they called all the 5 teams and asked what they would talk about, so in a month when they are ready to make deals, they already know what each team would give up. but no one ever said anything that they were actually discussing deals. just finding out who the teams would even talk about.

Basically they asked everyone to tell them who is off limits so they can attempt to build offers. but no one actually discussed any deals

Once again Im not saying I heard him, so he can scream all he wants hes a loser. I said others on ESPN said he said it. I was just repeating what I heard. Similar to all the times he says shit himself that he heard and it may or may not be true but he is just repeating it thats all i did was repeat what PTI talked about. Exactly what I said was what PTI said. They talked about amare, chandler and howard. you can say whatever you want just talking about it and using the word "trade" makes it a trade talk. wow i cant believe im even arguing this with you.

i know, and im not tryin to be a dick or fight. im tellin you you misunderstood what you heard. They didnt talk about a deal. they never brought up chandler and amare for howard, they wouldnt, cause they cant even do that deal.

basically, and this was the way i saw it reported on PTI : orlando called the knicks and said hey, if we call you in a month to talk about DH, would you be willing to talk about amare and chandler in the deal.

That was it. there was no discussing a deal, no offers, no anything. It was just a hey if we do ask later, would you. thats all. and i didnt hear it reported any other way. im just telling you so you knew the deal. i wasnt tryin to feign knowledge. Shit, i wasnt even nasty about it. i was tryin to inform you.

Dont worry, i wont anymore. ill jsut let you keep thinking things incorrectly and i wont try to help you, that way when you yell at other people and struggle to say what you mean, you will just look like an ass, since you decided to get hard with me without me giving you any attitude. you always mishear stuff or fail to say what you mean to say. Im jsut tryin to tell you what actually happen. Thats why i said work on listening. Cause you always have trouble making points

[Snoogans]

also id like to add that while the knicks are struggling (as is almost every team who added new parts and then had 1 week of camp to figure it out), "the disaster we know as the knicks" is still 3 games ahead of your crap fuckin team who has NO new guys to work into the system.

Last year, the knicks had an entire month of camp, 8 preseason games to figure each other out, and they were still awful til around the 15th game of the season. This year they had 1 week of camp and 2 preseason games (against a JV team too, the NETS), so as ive been sayin all year, ill give them 20-25 games to figure shit out cause its all new. Im not worried about it. You should be worried about your disaster though, being you are going to brooklyn with NOTHING

first of all stop making shit up. nets are 1 win behind the knicks and 2 loses more thats 1 1/2 games back not 3. you also have a full roster of every starter you are supposed to have the nets are playing without their 2nd best player on their teams (lopez) The nets also have more new guys then the knicks to work in.

Nets new guys

Brooks
Horner
Okur
Owens
Stevenson
Jordan Williams
Shawne Williams
Sheldon williams

thats 8 for the nets and deron only played 12 games with the nets last year to before getting hurt.


Knicks New guys

Bibby
Chandler
Harrelson
Jordan
Lin
Novak
Shumpert

and only 7 new guys for the knicks. You guys also have your big 3 fully healthy playing every night. you also have tons more talent yet you have 1, thats right 1 more win.

again, early. ill even give that to the nets. its the reason alot of teams that were supposed to be good are terrible. look, everyone knows ill kill the knicks when its right. but its right to give these guys 20-25 games to figure it out before i go nuts.

and also, you over simplify things. first off, melo was only here for like 20 games, its not like he was here all year. 2, deron is the only starter on your list. Chandler starts for us, shumpert (as of now) starts for us, everything runs different. Takes time when you are changing PGs.

the whole point is dont rip on other teams when yours sucks too. I dont sit here shitting on other teams while the knicks are playin bad. but you always have to yap and act like shit. Yea 1 more win now. lets see how many more wins the knicks have at the end of the year, when they have figured it out and are in the playoffs, and you guys are home losing everyone.

and no, the big 3 wasnt healthy every night. amare missed time, melo missed a game, shumpert, who starts, was out for like 3 games. they havent all been there, which makes it take longer to gel too

For someone who likes to call people out for not knowing exactly what they are talking about or not having exact precise #s you sure do the same when you try to help your argument. Melo was with the knicks for 27 games last year. that 1/3 of the season. Also Marshon brooks, stevenson and okur are new starters now. Knicks played 16 games, amere played in 14, Chandler 16 and Melo 15. Missing 1 game for 1 guy and 2 for another is having a pretty healthy team. I shit on the nets all the time and I wasnt saying anything that hasnt been said. For all that talent or having a big 3 if you will they are a disaster. The only reason I wish the nets got Melo over Deron is Melo would have had to sign in advance to stay Deron had a year left so they didnt force the issue. The nets suck, we probably arent keeping Deron unless something magical happens and we made a bad trade. But damn the knicks are terrible since the Melo trade.

Im just trying to help you out not to be a dick or start an argument I just want your #s to match up!

You have shit on the nets whenever possible

Talking about the shitty nets. Brooks was hurt again tonight and isnt playing. Jordan farmar is their leading scorer. Something is seriously wrong with this fucking team.

dude you are joking right. i said we had melo for like 20 games. it was 27. big deal. i didnt go look it up, it was an approxamation. Okur only starts cause lopez is hurt, that happens. I didnt not know stevensen starts cause tonight is the first min of nets basketball ive watched all year.

and all the talent of having a big 3? what big 3? Since when is tyson chandler a big time star player? he is a good defensive guy we brought in to sure up the middle. we dont even have a PG. but you are gonna act like we somehow have a big 3? And again, chandler has been here for a month. It takes time for guys to figure shit out. even if amare and melo figured some stuff out, tyson coming in and havinga new PG changes everything. So it takes time. the fact they have talent means they will be ok. Its 16 games into the season (for the knicks, the nets are baout to lose game 19 of their season, i think. Again, after 20-25 games, maybe they dont figure it out, then its a problem.

But you are very short sighted. the players arent the issue. our coach is a fuckin dipshit. Thats why they are all fucked up. Once the guys figure each other out, they will start to win in spite of him. ya know, like last year when they started something like 6-15 before winning 17 of 18 games once they figured it out. cause it takes time.

i didnt say shit about the nets til you called the knicks a disaster. nice fuckin try, but you baited this one. thats number 1

and 2, why the fuck is brooks a starter? I thought you guyts ran out d will, stevensen, morrow, hump and lopez if healthy. how the fuck did brooks get in there?

because morrow couldnt hit a shot at all to start the season but seemed to do better when he came off the bench. plus brooks is having a great rookie season. hes avg over 15 per game and around 5 rebs a game and hes shooting 47% from the field. He has played very well maybe top 3 rookie so far this season (imho).

Starting line up is
Deron
Stevenson
Okur
Hump
Brooks

wow thats terrible

Stevenson does swap out with james and morrow is now our 6th man but he started tonight because brooks hurt something yesterday.

achillies they said on YES. strained, day to day but no timetable according to ian eagle. does okur play center or did they move hump there so okur could move outside more? i had the game on tonight but wasnt really watchin once it was a blow out

okur plays center and hump is power fwd. okur has very very little inside game. he used to shoot a nice 3 but he cant make a shot this year either. the entire team (marshon and hump excluded) all cant hit shots. they as team have to be under 40% shooting. i turned it off at the end of 3 when they were losing by 17. Last year they played good def and rebounded. This year they do nothing well. Very sad, i like our coach and hump but the more I watch Deron the more I dont care if he stays or goes. I would rather then trade him now and get something back for him now. Keep lopez and try to build the team via the draft. This league is really about a handful of teams and everyone wants to play on those teams. The other 22-25 teams needs to build and keep who they draft if possible.

the funny thing is i think both would do better on opposite teams. melo wants to be the main guy and with hump and lopez he would be and they would be good enough to at least make a playoff run. the knicks would be so much better with deron at point and i think deron would play better in msg over pru. i also think he would make chandler, amare and fields better because hes a top3 or 5 pg who can shoot except in nj.

this is why dantoni being a bum hurts so much. a good coach would get these guys playing for the right shit. dantoni doesnt know who is on the team half the time i think.

Melo is tryin to fix it, to his credit. He came out yesterday and called himself out on alot of things. said he is gonna sit down with amare and work it out and get him the ball more, and that he wants his teammates to not be afraid to tell him when he is gettin out of step, so to speak. They had a players only meeting today, so hopefully that shit goes to the back seat.

Thats why the knicks think they have to deal one of them. I dont really care which, id prefer amare i guess cause the age and injuries but whatever.

I dont think you have to deal them. i think you just gotta work the system better. a real true PG would help. Shump is young and i like him alot but he is more a combo guard. He isnt a true point. I think Davis gettin back will help settle it but he isnt the answer that some people think he is. They jsut need a good solid PG to manage the game and get them both (amare and melo) their shots. It worked last year with billups for the most part

well i also heard dont know when or where that deron loves living here and would sign with the knicks but no way could they with those 3 contracts. if they got rid of amare the knocks would be a lock to get deron. i still cant see someone taking 3 plus years at $20 mil a year in a trade. maybe they would. i think the knicks should stick with this team, fire your coach and bring in nash with the vet/mid player exception next year. i think nash would play for $5 mil to play in ny and hes already 37 or 38 its not like he would get much more elsewhere. plus he wants to win a ring and worked well with amare. if that happened i dont think i could have anything to say about the knicks.

yea he told the nets that already. he said if you dont get DH, i would go to the lakers, knicks or mavs. The mavs have enough space to sign him so thats a bit scary, he is from there. and yea he said he loves it here. the only way the knicks get d will is with melo. the nets wouldnt take amare, even for a name goin to brooklyn. if amare goes anywhere, its to orlando with tyson and prob one of our guards for like DH Turkalu jameer nelson or something to work out the money. and picks if the knicks even have any.

and the real coach is apparently phil jackson. who already gave an interview and said the only job id ever take again is the knicks. so basically now everyone thinks that means he is definately here next year

yeah its like a big joke. they did that here when he played for the nets for 4 or 5 years. like once or twice a year he has a really nice game for a bench player but for the most part hes a 3 point per game career guy who has made a lot of money to sit on the bench. i would take that in a heart beat.

How much do the Knicks loose to the Heat tonight?





'bout 40 man!

[Snoogans]

the knicks will keep this game close. they are only down 4 at half. they will keep it close mostly cause i think miami isnt taking us all that serious, and cause they play more as a team when a guy goes down, the knicks i mean.

And thats not a knock on melo, doesnt matter who is hurt, for some reason a guy being out who plays significant minutes makes this team play better. So fucked up

in fairness, melo was out and amare decided to show up and still take the game off anyway. So our scoring all night consisted mostly of Bill Walker, Toney Douglas and the incredibly terrible Mike Bibby. The guys they had on the floor they didnt have much chance of anything but 3's.

There was one awesome sequence where in 45 second, bibby and steve novak both missed 2 3's, shumpert missed one and then JARED FUCKIN JEFFRIES attempted a 3 which also didnt go in, and tyson chandler and i think balkman just kept pulling down rebounds. The knicks were 7-12 from 3's and then 1 min later they were 7-19 it was hilarious

he is fuckin quick. i cant believe it. He looks like a legit PG. He isnt gonna score like this when amare and melo come back but he clearly knows how to play. We got a big piece in him. even as a solid future bench PG, he is a real solid player. And fuckin QUICK

[Snoogans]

ok, fuck the scoring, cause like i said that will fade as our scorers get back. but this kid can fuckin pass man. The way he sees the floor, its nuts. It really looks like you are watchin steve nash with a haircut the way he moves and finds space and passes. the lakers are throwing the fuckin sink at this kid tonight.

First half he goes for 18 and 5 assists, then goes into the locker room to watch FILM ON THE SHIT THE LAKERS ARE THROWING AT HIM. AT HALFTIME. So far in the 2nd half he has been able to break it easier.

i love that about him. even if they try something new, or if he isnt hitting shots, he can still find the open guy, penetrate, create space. That is stuff that is no fluke. this kid can ball

Im not going to say he def mailed it in but it sure looks like it to me. I missed both the nets and knicks games tonight because i fell asleep (feel like shit) so i dont know what he did yet tonight. But all season long he looked like he cant shoot and is a turn over machine. I think some has to do with having no talent around him but im starting to think he is mailing it in almost as a way to tell the nets "just trade me". he already said he was opting out but i dont think management feels he wont re-sign, maybe this is him saying do yourself a favor and get something back for me now without saying the words?

I know there is a rumor of Gasol for Deron. I personally dont like Gasol that much but at this point at least we would get a top tier talented guy back. Really does suck but the limited talent this team has is injured. it seems like yesterday that we had kidd and were in the finals in back to back seasons. Well it isnt that was 8 fucking years ago already.

the scoring is so high cause of amare and melo being out, he kinda has to pick it up for them. chandlers scoring is up too. once amare and melo come back he wont score so much but he reads the game so well. ive seen alot of basketball and he looks so smooth, he looks like he has been doin it for awhile. he sees the court. its fuckin insane.

He will prob score less, assists will prob not get up to like 10 because the team as a whole moves the ball more with him out there, but he has definately got the skill set to be at least an impact guy off the bench, possibly a really solid starter.

They just better not fuckin around. they better re sign him quick after the year. he is a UFA cause undrafted

I STARTED that fucking thread you dope.

[Snoogans]

I STARTED that fucking thread you dope.

but i started the gold

[Snoogans]

nice:

Lin will be a restricted free agent this summer, meaning that the Knicks can match any offer he receives without respect to the salary cap. So if the Knicks want to keep him in July, they have every means to do so.

The Knicks also own Lin’s “early-Bird” rights, which means they can offer him a starting salary up to the league average, about $5 million. If a team with cap room exceeds that figure, the restricted free agency rules allow the Knicks to match.

After going undrafted in 2010, Lin signed a two-year deal with the Golden State Warriors. The second year conveyed the early-Bird rights and the restricted free agent status. Those rights would have disappeared had Lin become a free agent after the Warriors waived him in early December. But the Houston Rockets claimed Lin off of waivers, thus inheriting the early-Bird and restricted free agency status. The benefits transferred to the Knicks when they claimed Lin off waivers on Dec. 27, after Houston cut him.

i don't know why i subject myself to rick reilly articles, but how could anyone find this shit entertaining to read:

It's bumper-to-bumper on the Jeremy Lin Bypass these days. Every single NBA team and every single Division I college coach who gives hoops scholarships passed on SuperAsian point guard Jeremy Shu-How Lin of the New York Knicks. And now they're paying the toll.

"Don't remind me," UCLA coach Ben Howland says.

Lin had a lower interest rate than CDs. He went unoffered coming out of high school and undrafted out of Harvard. Now the kid is Lin-fuego.

Flung from the end of the bench into the Knicks' starting lineup, Lin has had at least 20 points and seven assists in five straight games, all Knicks wins. He's been a one-man typhoon into the Knicks' sagging sails. His jersey is the fastest-selling in the NBA this week. Is anybody at Disney listening?

How could so many be so blind? How could they not see a Tiffany diamond at Goodwill prices? What was he? Linvisible?

and if reilly is so great at spotting talent, why didn't he write this article two weeks ago?

Jeremy Lin is doing for the NBA what Cal Ripken did for MLB when he broke Gehrig's record in 1995: he's getting a sport that fucked itself over through an idiotic labor struggle a new life, and getting people to talk about the sport, not the labor bullshit.

I mean, there are a lot of people, like me, whose attitude towards the league during the lockout was "Fuck those guys, I don't give a shit if they flush the whole season down the shitter." Now I'm starting to watch it again.

It's funny how, no matter how badly the business side of sports tries to drive us away, the sport itself always draws you back in.

again, i said i know its not breakin his wallet. just pointing out that most athletes really only make about 45% of what they get paid

[underdog]

go to a bar, im sure you can handle that

haha - yeah, I could do that.

[underdog]

Still around 45,000 a year in rent, which is not chump change to the normal american.

That's why I said it seems like a lot outside of Manhattan, but it really isn't when you're in the city. $3800 is about the going rate for a decent 1BR apartment in a mid to high rise.

When he was sleeping on his bro's couch, he probably had more room.

when I was first moving to Manhattan last year, trump towers were some of the cheapest places in Manhattan, below Harlem. They are near NOTHING and the apartments aren't particularly great. It just has Trump's name on it, so everyone (myself included, at the time) thinks they must be nice. $3800 a trump is probably getting him a 1BR on the larger side of their average.

[Snoogans]

btw thanks for a full report dickcheese. he didnt move into trump towers. he moved into the trump shit in White Plains. He doesnt live in Manhattan

According to a report in the New York Daily News, Lin has moved into the Trump Tower in City Center, in White Plains, N.Y. The building is in close proximity to the Knicks training facility in Greenburgh, N.Y.

According to the Daily News, Lin has sublet a two-bedroom apartment from former Knick David Lee. The paper reported that it's the same two-bedroom apartment that Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire rented before he moved to Manhattan.

Are guys who play for the Knicks or Rangers allowed to buy MSG stock? If you work for a company you can own stock, so i dont see why not, right?

if i was lin, i would be AWFUL tomorrow. 1 point, 0 assists, shoot 20 times. 15 turnovers. wait til friday, then buy the shit out of the stock and then go lights out again for a few days. then sell the stock.

and then i would just do that over and over

ESPN keeps comparing Tebow to Lin and I think there are a couple of huge differences.

Yes they both seem to be overly religious men but Tebow throws it in your face, Lin pretty much has kept it to himself except saying hes blessed every so often. To me thats a huge reason hes not annoying yet. He also doesnt sound rehearsed like Tebow does. Every answer Tebow has doesnt flow normal it sounds like bad acting.

Another is Tebow isnt an underdog. He has been popular and successful everywhere he played. He won the Heisman, he was highly recruited to many colleges and he was a 1st round draft pick. Lin had to pretty much beg colleges to look at him and I believe after all was said and done he still had to walk on to Harvard. He wasnt drafted in the nba, he was cut 2 times already, was a d league player 2 times and only got a chance before being cut again because of tons of injuries.

Oh and the biggest difference, Lin is a really good player at the position he plays. Unlike Tebow who is a terrible QB Lin is playing really good at pg which isnt his natural position. He is actually a shooting guard by trade and played the 2 at Harvard (from what they said on ESPN).

J.R. Smith to the Knicks



The guy can knock down an open shot, that makes everyone better, You have to think he will be in a three man rotation with Fields and Shumpert and can spell Melo. To me it’s a trial, like when the Jets had Santino Homes the first year. If he starts acting like a malcontent or complaining he is not getting enough shots you can just cut him, all the incentive is on him to placate to the system and be a good boy so he can get another big money deal down the road (hopefully not from the Knicks, ha-ha).

I really dont understand this move. so now we have 6 2/3 guys? maybe it woulda been better to use that on some backup PG so we can cut bibby's bum ass. besides, the team has been flowing well, and JR Smith is known to be a douche. I worry he is gonna fuck it up

hes a douche but i would take him on the nets. we need another scorer bad and as sad as it sounds we could use a "name" player. im guessing he and melo are close so i would bet they wanted to play together again?

i get why smith would wanna be here. i dont get why the knicks want him. I dont see them taking minutes from Shump. I also read they gave him a player option for next year for 2.5 mill. Im wondering if they think Fields is gonna try to leave in FA and that was more the reason for it. otherwise, i dont fuckin get it. You will have melo back which means melo and fields, then you have Shump and Bill Walker who actually hasnt been playin that bad even though he kinda sucks. I know Dantoni buried Toney Douglas on the bench so he doesnt take any SG minutes away but still.

The only other thing i can think of is, they are afraid BD wont be back at all, and they are signing JR Smith so they can use Landry as sort of our backup PG. He has been passing well and running the P&R pretty well when Lin isnt on the court the past few games, so maybe thats the thinking? Deadspin said its incase steve novak goes cold from outside, but novak is a 4 when he is on the court. I really dont want the Dope putting melo at the 4 when amare isnt in and adding to his wear.

I dont like this

[Snoogans]

my uncle works for the nets and he just called me. He said this JR Smith signing is making the Nets front office FREAK OUT.

I dont know if there is any substance or this is just fear but, apparently the nets think the Knicks did this so they could start Smith at the 2, move fields to the 3 and try to trade melo and tyson to orlando for Dwight Howard and Turkalu. i really dont want them to do that. I like Tyson chandler but i wouldnt be upset if that happened either. I really doubt it but, apparently the Nets are very afraid of this

"But we just want to keep working him out, see how he recovers, because we don’t want any setback.” Keep an eye on his progress going forward to see when he might be able to make it back on the court.

[hanso]

Feb 17 Lopez (foot) has been upgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls, the New York Daily News reports.

Recommendation: This is the first inkling heard this season as to which game Lopez might make his return. The club has targeted mid- to late-February all season for Lopez's expected return, which is looking more and more realistic. The Nets will probably try to see how Lopez performs in shootaround on Saturday before updating his playing status.

8 of them were first half. It wasnt that great, but once again, at least 3 of them are on amares weak ass hands. twice i saw balls go right through his hands on perfect passes. those count for lin. But overall his first half was rough. 2nd half he did alot better but guys werent hittin shots.

More than that, they all looked slow and tired

[Snacks]

Bad loss tonight by the knicks. I missed most of the game but thought they would win easily. Lin had a solid game but those turnovers got to go down. Another 9 turnovers tonight is way too much and against a shit team like Char makes it worse.

Snoogs what the fuck happened? I thought 8 straight looked good and being home something must have been off?

they came out really flat. even before the turnovers they looked bad. NO got up like 14-5 early. It looked like one of those games that happens to every team. you just come out, guys dont have legs, arent hitting shots, and it just kinda spirals. 8 turnovers first half for lin was bad but like i said early, another couple of those were actually on amare not catching decent passes. Everyone just looked flat though. less moving without the ball, bill walker doing really dumb shit. Shumpert made a couple plays in the 4th where you woulda been like what the fuck are you even thinking. Just a bad team effort.

Ill give a little credit to NO, third win in a row, they came out and played hard and ran a few really nice plays to get up early and ariza killed us. But otherwise, the knicks pretty much lost the game. i think they ended up with like 24 turnovers as a team or something obscene like that

Lin's turnovers are, ironically, alot like eli's interceptions last year when he threw 25 or whatever. Half of it is just dumb decisions/bad throws/bad reads, whatever. But there is a large portion where he throws balls and they go right off peoples hands. Those count as TOs for the passer not the receiver. Its weird. but they do need to come down, and they will. Notice he had 8 first half, 1 second half. Part of it is also seeing shit he never saw and taking time to figure out what they are doin. then he gets in at halftime and is smart and adjusts and does better. It will just take time. he is basically a rookie still too, everyone has seemed to forget that over the last 2 weeks.

did i read correctly that walker started? why?

[Snoogans]

did i read correctly that walker started? why?

he has started at the 3 every game melo has been out. we have been using shump as the 6th man to come in and change the pace and lock down the D. I have a feeling walkers play over the last 3 or 4 games was the reason they signed JR smith. So that walker goes back to not part of the main rotation after this rather than back to playin 15-18 minutes off the bench

kobe is the black mamba, scalabrini is the white mamba, why cant lin be the yellow mamba?

[WRESTLINGFAN]

They should be niggardly in their use of that word.

It was nothing but Yellow Journalism by ESPN

[A.J.]

Darryl Dawkins was Chocolate Thunder and Jason Williams was Vanilla Chocolate. I don't recall those nicknames being an issue either.

some of you guys are just begging for a suspension, better get your attorneys to write up an apology, make it sincere.

Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.

Think this guy is on radio now covering Lin. Somebody Brown.

JV and Elvis should be doing so.

Usually writers don't make up their own headline. But ESPN does things "differently"

how can he miss the entire season and then make his season debut in same year ??

[mdr55]

The Mavs have 3 former Nets: Kidd, Carter and Yi. Remember when they were hyping Yi as the next Yao.

Lin got to stop with the Linovers. He's averaging over 7 a game or something like that. Can't wait for Melo to get in the game. More weapons for the Knicks.

Because calling an Asian person "Yellow" is seen as somewhat derogatory.

You call an African-American "black", fine.

You call a Caucasian "white", fine.

You call an Asian "yellow", that's a trip to HR.

It's the same reason why Native Americans hate the Redskins name so much.

deron wants to prove who the best pg imo i think he is pissed at all the air time lin has been getting and it all started against him. i though he would go nuts tonight even if the ents lost because he wanted to shit on lin. but damn hes on fire.

[Snacks]

what a bad foul call on deron right there, jeffires was moving his feet when deron dished it to hump.
