New York Knicks 2013-14 Season Thread

[Chrispy]

This team is ridiculous. Woodson is doing a tremendous job holding everyone accountable (there's that word again) and really turning this around, but that doesn't change the fact that as bad as D'Antoni was, this team straight up quit.

It'll be interesting to see what happens next time their backs are against the wall. They did not really play all that well last night.

How much better do u want them to play? Balanced scoring, had more steals then turnovers and everybody contributed. Looks like they r having fun playing now.

They were pretty sloppy until the 4th quarter. Toronto had no business being in that game by halftime. They can't play like that against Philly and expect to win.

Toronto is a pretty decent Defensive team, they have also improved through the season so it shouldn't be a shock they they hung on for so long in last nights game.

Now we play the top defense in the league and it will be interesting to see how we play

This....

Something D'Antoni never did.....Woodson ripped Fields a new one....lol @ Fields trying to plead his case at first then realizing Woodson wasn't trying hear it and just walked back to the bench, head down

Somebody needed to yell at Fields, he's been a shell of his former self this year

Also was pleased to see Woodson take knucklehead Smith to task for the dumb shit late...that's twice now he's showboated in a blowout....

As much as I like Landry, it was good to see him get ripped a new one. Still a huge fan of his, hope we lock him up for a while.

From the parts I watched, it was a pretty good game.

5 straight wins, not bad at all.

I noticed Melo's scoring and attempts are way down in this win streak. I find that interesting.

 

[jeffx]

As Clyde would say, Knicks played with grit. A tough, grind-it-out win. Raptors, Pistons & a crucial game against the Bucks Monday night.

Like they were during most of D'Antoni the asshole's win streaks too.

 

[DJ Rhude]

They're committed to playing defense, the amount of shot attempts become irrelevant when this team D's up......Melo and Iggy basically canceled each other out they was going so hard at one another.....Melo's doing other things on the court besides scoring, dude is so talented which I guess was one of the things that frustrated D'Antoni because he couldn't get Melo to bring all his talents out.....

Anyone notice in the game against the Raptors, Chandler got down and slapped the floor with his hands, imploring everyone to D up?

I fucking loved it......I remember few teams wanted to come into the Garden when Oak and Ewing ran shit....if we are truly getting back to that, then Woodson will lose that interim tag before long

And I've warmed to knucklehead J.R. Smith....he's a loose cannon, but if I had room in my heart for that knucklehead John Starks, I can surely welcome Smith.....every team with championship aspirations has one on their team

Fed, I know you like him, but if Pringles was Chicago's coach, you & First Timer would be as frustrated as we were in NY. No way the Bulls play that hellafied defense with Pringles. I'm not saying Carmelo's blameless, but Antoni's stubbornness and failure to play to his team's strengths is what got him the boot. Be thankful for Thibodeau. I'm happy with Woodson. Last night gave me 90s flashbacks, lol.

lol the other night I called JR Smith "a mentally unstable version of John Starks". It fits. Right down to the streakiness on 3 pointers.

Alan Hahn used the term "90's Knicks defense" last night. Twilight Zone shit.

 

[jeffx]

The dude I've been most impressed with during this win streak is Jeremy Lin. To me, he hasn't missed a beat under Woodson. Kid is tough too.

 

[Chrispy]

Terrible game tonight, they look like a fuckin rec team.

 

[jeffx]

Well they redeemed themselves last night. But can these cats stay above .500 please? Gotta beat Milwaukee tomorrow.

 

[EmpireWF]

Melo now hurt? Is he back yet? Thankfully the Bucks are as lost as the Knicks.

 

[jeffx]

Amar'e will miss 2-4 weeks while getting treatment for his back.

UPDATE; Damn, the team was FOCUSED tonight!

 

[Chrispy]

What a game tonight, Melo was on fire. Huge contributions from everybody.

 

[jeffx]

Tyson Chandler has got to be one of the best free agent pickups the Knicks ever had. He sets the tone on defense and provides leadership on & off the court. I love it.

 

[Chrispy]

:yep: Saw a stat last night that Dwight Howard had a combined 20 points between the two games played against the knicks, 20 points combined!!
