Wednesday, Feb 8 - Knicks @ Wizards 7:00pm

Great work as always, would add +1 to your rep, but gotta spread some points around before I honor you again. I wonder actually whether Lin takes over the starting spot or Shump hangs on as our starting point guard.

Nice game thread as always. :beer:

I reckon Shump for sure. If Lin keeps up the stellar play, then maybe, but I doubt it.

Knicks will obviously win this one cause Washington are even worse than the Knicks (which is quite anachievement).

I've been through the bad times when Isiah was our GM and the first two season under Walsh/D'Antoni when we had to get contracts off the books, but at no point have I ever been so sick of a Knicks time like I am now and the last couple of weeks.....

I really hate to see those guys play, I hate to see their faces. I can't exactly say why, maybe it's because we've signed two losers on $100 million contracts each, to lead this franchise, maybe it'S because of the coaching style making them look like bitches, I don't know, but what I know is that I'm ****ing sick of them.

During the Isiah days there were atleast a few guys on the team I liked, like David Lee, Channing Frye, Nate Robinson, Wilson Chandler etc.

I can't relate with anybody on the current roster....I have the utmost respect for Tyson Chandler, he's been great for us so far and I admire that, but I almost need to throw up when I watch Anthony, Stoudemire, Douglas, Walker, Jeffries and Shumpert play.

I also don't like the way some of these guys come across, acting like hard man, talking bullshit on TV or on Twitter, but playing like bitches (yes you Amar'e). They're not champions, Justin Tuck is a champion - they're just overpaid celebrities (yes you Melo).

I hate this roster, atleast Z-Bo didn't have a reality show or Crawford wasn't talking championship all the time when we were losing under Isiah.

Losing is ok, but what I absolutely detest is rrunning your mouth while losing, losers simply don't have the right to run their mouth.

For the first time in 6 consecutive years of subscription, I'm really regretting my League Pass subsription this year.

Maybe I'm not a true Knicks fan anymore, I dunno, all I can say is well done to the current roster for completely destroying my desire for the Knicks.

Not even Isiah and his (mostly terrible) rosters have achieved that.

I just can't stand those losers Stoudemire and Anthony anymore, getting hyped like champions - they're nothing!

The Giants are champions, these two are just chumps.

Don't take this personal folks, it's not towards you, it's towards Stoudemire and Anthony and management and the coaching staff.

Those are my feelings and I had to let them out, this season has been the worst for me in 14 years as an active Knick fan.

I don't get you. You spoke as if you were prophetic about this team when they were losing late 2011: Dolan this, Dolan that. Now you seem to have moved on to all the players, but don't seem to know what the issue is.

Thanks for the reminder I need to get 3 tix for the game while they are cheap. I am saving a seat for my boy Shizzee

is Baron Davis playing in this game?

He better be Paul it is about 20 days from now!!!!

LOL my bad I thought this was for the Knicks Wizards game this Wednesday.

Yea if Davis doesn't play this game then we should cut him.

I thought the same thing I was pissed , would not be able to go if it was this week. :gony:

I know man, it'S kinda weird - I admit that.

I still consider myself a fan, o doubt about that bro, but I can't relate with the players on the current roster.

Normally you support your players and like the guys and cheer them on, you know that man, but this season I'm just kinda bored/annoyed when watching these guys play....they really lack something imo.

It's not Melo'S and Anare's fault that they were given $100 million contracts, I just don't like they way they're acting off the court. This is a personal issue I think, 99% of the fans don't have an issue with it, I have.

Maybe it's because when I was a kid and you were bragging about something and not backing it up or talking like a winner, but ended up losing you got an incredible amount of heat and basically didn't want to leave home for a week or so....so my attitude is: When you talk championship/winning/beeing great you better back it up or you're just a ****ing idiot who needs to be clapped back.

That's how I treat people in real life (no violence), but when somebody talks shit in my face and doesn't back it up he better get outta my sight, cause they no longer exist for me.

That's why I can't stand Lebron, Melo, Stoudemire and a few others. They pretend to be champions and talk like champions, but they haven't won anything yet.

On the other hand you have guys like Tim Duncan who have more rings on one hand than the others guy combined, but he doesn't come out twice a week and talk shit about winning (although he could). He doesn't need a reality show on TV to celebrate himself.....he's just getting the damn thing done.

If Melo and STAT had already won a championship, they could talk all day, because they wouldn't owe us and themselves, but right now they owe everything and haven't won anything.

I need a new hero on the Knicks man, Tyson Chandler might be the guy. He pretty much embodies all the attributes a sports hero must stand for in my oppinion.

But one Chandler ain't enough, we need more dogs and less puppys and Melo and STAT really need to toughen up mentally, they don't need to be hard on the court like Rodman or Laimbeer, getting physical, but they need to get as tough mentally as Tyson Chandler, they must prepare themselves to do EVERYTHING necessaryto win. Right now all I can see are lucklaster approaches by our two highest paid and therefore most important players.

I always 'loved' the Justin Tucks, Michael Strahans, Ray Lewis's, Ed Reeds or in basketball terms: The Allen Iversons, Latrell Sprewells, Larry Johnsons, John Starks's etc.

I think you get the point.

With the way John Wall is playing and how Lin had him taking notice, the Harvard Schooler may go for a triple double!!!

no he's not unfortunately latest on Baron according to dantoni davis has had a setback and is still out indefinitely with still no scheduled return and the knicks are not planing to have Baron back before the allstar break. the Good news is we still have hope with LIN.

Lebron could easily be the highest paid player in basketball right now but he sacraficed and took a paycut to form the big 3 with an attempt to win multiple championships. thats a CHAMPION STATE OF MIND every NBA player is different Tim duncan has rings he doesn't gloat about it because thats not his personality. On the other hand Kobe will throw it your face about how many championships he has. If your a contender and have the pieces in place to win a chip, with high expectations, and half the world wants to see you FAIL.(miami heat) then there should be no reason for you to NOT have a champions mind state.

As far as melo and stat honestly

STAT is in New York- because no other team was going to throw 100mill at him and the knicks were desperate to bring in a star when everyone else was rejecting them (lebron,joe johnson, etc)

MELO is in New york- because he enjoys the spot light, loves the attention, and Lola wanted to be here. he's all about the $$$$ dont get me wrong he's a great player (my fav player) but he's a $$$$$$ guy when its all said and done. you put Money and a championship on a table and tell melo to leave with which ever one he wants i gurantee you that championship would still be on the table lol.

in Denver melo had i think the best pieces you could have to win a chip i think they were 1 or 2 pieces away from being serious contenders. unfortunately melo was more of a ballhog back then, than he is now. its sad that you have to shoot 33 percent and 35 of 105 shooting in 4 games for the thought of quote
"Maybe I need to not take so many shots. I don't know," he said. "There's just a bunch of stuff that goes through my mind. Just [trying to figure] out ways to make other guys better. Should I pass it more?" to come through your mind when you've been in the nba for 8 seasons.

Did I ever claim they have rings?

No, but they all played like champions. You as a Knick fan should know that, how LJ played his heart out for us man. The same goes for John Starks and Spree. I'll never forget how Spree fought his ass off on the court in game 5 of the 99 Finals, but Avery Johnson beat us with that lucky shot and Spree was devastated, creeping back to the locker room, almost in tears......he gave his all.....

And Iverson is probably the biggest warrior in NBA history....SHAQ agrees. He once said Iverson is the toughest guy in the NBA, heard it myself and I agree...at 5'11 - 160 lbs he took SHOTS every night, but he managed to make a Hall of Fame career out of it....and the Sixers roster he took to the Finals was not half as talented as the current Knicks roster.....A.I. deserves respect.

Awesome thread!
