New York Knicks 2013-14 Season Thread

we just need to learn how to play defense.......
we could have won the Bucks and Magic game if they would just rotate better.

we do rebound very well but thats because we arent playing defense so we basically have 5 guys crashing the boards, lol.

stop living and dying by jacking up 3s all game........maybe work the ball down low some??

So there has been a rumor going around for the past few days, Dwight Howard for Stat and Chandler. Im glad Amare was the one that came to New York but i would take this deal in a heart beat.

oh yes , any1 would jump at the chance to aquire a guy who's either uninterested or hurt with $80 million left on his deal and playing on Uninsurable knees and Tyson chandler. For Dwight Howard? Absolutely!

[EmpireWF]

That rumor came from Stephen A.

First off, Chandler can't be moved until March 1st.

Secondly, I don't believe for a second the Magic would take Amare.

[StealthShot]

1 point we win.

[x0xHumblex0x]

we still need a true or at least a solid PG.........
D Howard would be nice but that isnt the answer.........

I keep hearing rumors Davis might play tonight in Cleveland.

AND the inevitable Phil Jackson rumors Begin

Seven turnovers in the 4th quarter - so sick of Toney Douglas.

Knicks are hot garbage - no point guard, no chemistry between our stars, top-heavy roster, shitty coach.

I was in favor of the Carmelo trade, so I can't go back now. You need at least two superstars to have a chance in this league. But maybe Donnie Walsh was right. Maybe Dolan should have waited and not given up so much. Who knows?

I'm just sick of watching ex-Knicks have good games against this team. Even friggin' Jordan Hill played well last night. The bench is woeful and Landry Fields is totally lost.

Six games under .500 with the Pistons and Bulls coming up. And we're waiting on a dude with a bad back to save the season...(sigh)....

Like WFAN's Joe & Evan said, Pringles is a genius at running HIS offense. He can't adjust his system to the players he's dealt with. When Pat Riley came here, he didn't run Showtime.

....

you know what else you need in this league? A fuking plan.

Donnie Walsh inherited an expensive turd in the garden and got the Knicks to a place where the knicks had nice lil nucleus with some cap flexability. Dolan Hears Melo wants to be in NY and blows up the team, shows Walsh the door, attempts to rehire Isiah AGAIN!, throws around money and plays GM pretending that He has a clue. It's not Just putting 2 20+ pt scorers together and hoping for the best, if it was then Marbury/Steve Francis would've worked.

[IamMedellin]

Well, to be honest, and I hate the Knicks, but they did have a plan. Their plan was to bring in the best player in the game, maybe top 5 of all-time, Lebron James, and it didn't work out. They should be given credit, for at least being in the running. When James went to Miami, the pressure started, they had to do something to try keeping up with Miami.

ok, Walsh Cleared space got a couple of inexpensive kids and put it all on signing Lebron and a superstar to be named later. The big free-agent haul ended up as Amare[super star A] and Raymond Felton[upgrade at pg]. Amid modest expectations, The Knicks then went on a nice little run that bordered on resurgence early last year, Amare took charge and put up numbers and Felton flourished in D'Antoni's system. Nice lil core was built with cap flexability to sign a superstar in the upcoming offseason.

Melo becomes available, makes noise about wanting to play in NY, walsh and Denver get into a game of chicken bc Its known league wide that Melo only wants NY and has already killed a nets deal. Dolan gets pissy, takes over negotiations, and proceeds to deal half the team to aquire Melo, Team is sub .500 since.

THE ONLY 1 that put on any pressure to make a deal is James Dolan. A trustfund baby who's major claims to fame are a blues band that no1 gives a fuck about, hiring Isiah Thomas Twice, and being at the Helm of the Garden for the past decade in which the Knicks have had ZERO playoff wins.
