The Knicks Thread....

[Dan's Brain]

um ok. sorry knicks fans.

i'm right behind the knicks improving. cos when the historically famous teams play well, it's good for the NBA.

But, as a Bulls fan, i would rather see them wait a couple of years before that improvement comes. just wait til after the lottery.

Don't worry...the Knicks won't be improving anytime soon with the three stooges in charge, Dolan, Isiah & Starybury. Check this out;

Jackie Butler for Tim Duncan. makes for a great story, even if it isnt true. poor Larry Brown.

[Fenix]

Interesting. Posters@RealGM are saying Curry is noticably fitter, but then again, they're probably the most homerish fans in the world. Plus, I don't see any difference based on pics.

06/07 Eddy Curry:

[Dan's Brain]

yeah, you cant really tell until he plays 40 minutes against faster opposition where he's forced to run and keep running.

but he doesnt look any different.

I can't take those morons at RealGM. They don't know sh!t about basketball. The other day Mitch Lawrence said Curry was struggling going from one end of the court to the other. Dude was huffing & puffing. Isiah gave up draft picks for this lazy f---.

[kinokong]

i don't see a difference but we'll see how his stamina plays out during the season.... he'll get shitloads of opportunities from isiah to play just for him to justify the trade with the bulls.... but im pretty sure msg is gonna be booing when the bulls land a guy like noah,oden,or mayo

[shadowgrin]

Guy with sleeves to Curry: We're going to make a photoshoot. Your pose should be like you're about to make a pick for Nate.

Curry: What's a pick?

Nate: It's looks something like this, right?

Isiah Thomas says they are going to play team ball. And Francis says that Thomas has taught him alot.

Isiah hasn't realized he's the GM of the Knicks yet. Seems his job is to make the Bulls better.

The New York Suns play the Nets tonight. Can't wait to see this new offense in action.

[Klayface]

Get to see the best point guard in the league tonight, Marcus Williams lmao go Knicks. Isiahs gonna wish he hadn't passed him up

[Amphatoast]

knicks actually won vs. a carter/kiddless nets squad

111points for the New York Suns!!

[Doobie]

I was at MSG for that preaseason game, we bought nosebleed seats but moved up to like the 12th row!!!! Wow great night, walked around NY, first experience at the Garden, so so so great. Impressive game by the Knicks, but Kidd/Carter less nets so it doesn't matter. Ronaldo Balkman is the fucking man. By the way I came out on screen on the jumbotron thing!!!

[cklitsie]

Nice Doobie! You took any pics?

[Doobie]

Yeah, horrible quality on my cell phone but I'll post them up later none-the-less.

Sorry if I'm intruding Knicks fans, but just wanted to say I think that with Thomas coaching, the Knicks may sneak into the playoff picutre as a lower seed

What do you guys think?

[---]

They have all the pieces... but to the wrong machine.

[Zoom]

I don't get what you mean by machine...

EDIT: You mean team right??? How's it for the wrong team?

[---]

They have great players, but they don't work together

[Zoom]

Maybe with Thomas and a new system (maybe a fast flowing offence), the players can work together

He should stick to playdates with his children IMO.

[---]

Personally, I would love to see him back in the NBA. Pretty good player in his prime, would be a good role model and role player off the bench (or maybe even starting). Good Luck to him

[shadowgrin]

Thomas was publicly skeptical last February regarding the compatibility of a Marbury-Francis backcourt. Even Dolan felt the trade was a mistake and when asked yesterday about the Garden boss' remarks, Thomas paused for a moment before saying, "I agree with everything Jim Dolan says."

What a pussy.

Right now, my job is to make it work," Thomas said. "It's a tough spot. But either you have a tough spot or no spot

Most NYK fans prefer Thomas on the no spot.

Pretty good player in his prime, would be a good role model and role player off the bench (or maybe even starting).

His prime is looooong way gone.
Back on an NBA team? Yes.
Back on the Knicks? NO. The Knicks already have too many guards.

I don't see it unless Thomas has some secret playstyle that allows you to field 5 point guards at once.

It's about time that the 400 lb pink gorilla in the Knicks locker room is addressed. Thomas is NOT acquiring good players for a team; he's acquiring players that most resemble himself during his playing days.
