"I'd bet money he'll be wearing a Knicks uniform by the end of February"

Someone give me this dude's number? I wouldn't say no to some easy money..

i think riot is going to blow you all up.

kg's going nowhere, this is how the media makes money. i mean, come on, hardaway/davis for garnett/sczerbiak, what idiot buys that? i dont care if they trade them every first pick they have for the next 20 years. it aint worth it. (actually i wrote that, and i realized every knick first pick for the next 20 years would be actually quite tantalizing, especially with a write in clause to keep isiah as gm for those 20 years, [just kidding isiah's cool in my book], but you get the point)

With the pistons there had been players like Billups that had really improved their defensive skills with Brown.

Umm its was Pops that coached Glenn Robinson not Larry Brown. :wink:

I highly doubt the Knicks can acquire KG with what they have, I have a feeling KG could be traded before the deadline or in the offseason specially if the Timberwolves miss out on the playoffs. The best player the Knicks can look to acquire from Minnesota is Wally World and I really dont think they want another trigger happy swingman.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaah, Nate Robinson wins the game in OT! (Y) (Y) :headbang:

Marbury passes up the game winning shot to feed the wide open rookie...wow is this even the same Knicks team?

Sun Nov 27, 2005 7:28 am

Another nice game from Channing Frye. 21 and 11. Man.

Sun Nov 27, 2005 8:58 am

All the hype about Nate , clutch shot by him , but Frye is crazy good . At this point , it looks like hes better then Bogut , but thats only right at the moment.

Sun Nov 27, 2005 9:15 am

Frye was great. Robinson was the 2nd half. Marbury had a solid game. Crawford was really good in clutch time of the 4th quarter.

Sun Nov 27, 2005 9:43 am

Talk about a dagger. :( Tough to swallow as a Sixer's fan. Webber makes a wide-open putback to force overtime via Allen Iverson, and then AI downs a 3 to tie up the game, but then Marbury passes (:shock:) up the the final shot, where Robinson throws up a lame duck prayer that flew for days.

You're kidding me, right? I'm a bitter Sixers fan, but it's plain to see that was a prayer that was lucky not to get stuck in the rafters.

Sun Nov 27, 2005 9:44 am

seems to me like isiah's a pretty good drafter. contrary to popular belief i think he has done a pretty good job in new york, considering what he had. i think were he in a situation he be given the chance to just build a team he'd be getting glowing approval.

Sun Nov 27, 2005 9:48 am

yeah he also did a good job drafting in toronto also. i can't believe i missed this game, hopefully they will have a replay tonight on msg

the biggest stat I see in the boxscore is the knicks only had 11 turnovers. They not too bad when they don't turn the ball over a lot

You do sound bitter.

A prayer? It was his 2nd 3 of the game, so it's not like he hasn't shown the ability to hit the 3. I wouldn't call him a big 3 point threat by any stretch of the imagination, but he can hit the 3. Obviously.. :lol:

Regardless, an off balance, falling out of bounds, high arching early released shot is a prayer.

Oh yea, in case you didn't know...

Prayer or no prayer, it was a clutch shot, which was the original point that was disputed. The clock and situation are what made it clutch; not the way it was put up.

I love that ani!

Well, I guess I have a different perception of clutch that I didn't clarify. I wouldn't call making a heave from half court that wins a game clutch, more lucky. That doesn't take away from the accomplishment, I just think that in order to make a clutch shot or be clutch, it has to actually be a well-performed shot. For instance, Robert Horry making that shot against the Kings when the ball trickled away from the whole Kings team, I'd say that was clutch.

Sun Nov 27, 2005 5:02 pm

The shot wasn't from half court.

And who's to say what shots are clutch and which are lucky? There's no way to say.

What the hell?! Why do people keep posting the same crap over and oevr again?

Sun Nov 27, 2005 8:37 pm

It was a clutch shot, not a lucky one. I'm afraid Nate's bandwagon/hype is going to get even bigger now. Frye should get some love, he's a serious candidate for ROY right now, together with C.Paul and D.Williams.

Mon Nov 28, 2005 1:56 am

Nate got some hops :shock:


And it was lucky! j/k

Mon Nov 28, 2005 4:53 am

Frye will be a player. I don't know why the speculations about his softness first arose, because he looks pretty tough to me. He is kinda weak, but that doesn't equals softness.

Mon Nov 28, 2005 6:09 am

Can't a shot be lucky and clutch? If the Lakers have the ball down by 5 with 30 secs to go and Kobe passes to Smush with 2 on the shotclock and Smush fires one up thru a double team from 3 and makes it, it's a lucky shot but it's also a clutch shot.

Nate was lucky that i went in, but it was still clutch since it won the game.

Mon Nov 28, 2005 9:31 am

Well it was stupid of me to bring up since a 'clutch' shot isn't really defined, but I feel that in order to be clutch, it has to be a well-performed shot and not a shot that's just thrown at the basket.

Mon Nov 28, 2005 11:39 am

And how do you differentiate between those?
