Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks Game Thread 2/22

[nyKnicks126]

Curry was smart for going to the NBA straight out of high school. He would've got exposed for his mediocore skills, and he would've never got drafted, if he went to college.

Well about Curry going out of high school straight to the pros, he wasn't ready for the NBA speed, and strengh. College would have either made him into a developed, and maybe hard working player or would have destoried his chances at even reaching to the NBA. Thats what college ball is all about taking skills to another level,(DIFFERENT TOPIC) thats why we are seeing as we speak different styles of play that has never been seen before. Like the hook shot is old school nobody is using that anymore. We see Centers being aggresive, and dominate in the Shaq Era on to Oden and beyond!(expect for Eddy, and others) Patrick Ewing developed a hook shot which lead to his era, and now its a lost cause. Duncan( Dont like him) is a player that uses the glass a lot of the time when shooting a mid range shot. Its a different style of player. I wonder what the next big move or style of play will come?
Durant has a nice style of play, he drives in hunched over, and straightens up even laying it up, or dunkin.

Crawford got lucky tonight. He chucked as usual and happen to make the shots he normally would miss.

[StEpHoN_mArBuRy]

I really dont care if the Knicks win or lose, it would be nice to see the Celtics lose their 3rd in a row.

Haha it happened bro. It was ****ing sweet to watch too. KG tried to get in Stoudemires head But Amare keep his cool and lit KG's ass up. Suns palyed good. Shaq is really coming along well for them.

The Knicks WON the first game using their "One on One" technique vs the Raptors.
The Knicks had 81 FGA while a hot Crawford (19-29) & hot Zach (9-19) became the Knicks only offense, together they shot 50 FGA (at 49% shooting).
What plan will the Knicks have on Sunday vs the Raptors???

[Kiyaman]

We all know the Jekyll & Hyde in Crawford & Zach, will this Sunday be proof.

that was a great game, very physical. The Garnett and Stoudamire duel was awesome. So many elbows thrown. I saw a 1st though, Shaq played team ball and ddint put up many shots, was just trying to make space for team mates. Is this a new Shaq?

[StEpHoN_mArBuRy]

But shaq has always played team ball...

I'm loving this. The Knicks got their 17th win before March, and the Celtdicks lose their 3rd in a row. Mathematically, the Celtdicks would now have to go 29-0, if they wanna reach 70 wins(not gonna happen). YES!

I was tryin to ease up on the Celtics hate with my dad and best friend bein Celtic fans, but this 3 game losing streaks got me hyped up!!!!

Stoudamire>>>Gay G
Dwight Howard>>>Gay G

Both are debatable, more debatable then DW vs CP3.

Is GAy G still the best big man in the league?

Being this is the Second Knicks game i've been to (and last time was 1990). i gotta say it was dope they won.

2nd. They were MAD Lucky. Why do the knicks always double the dude with the ball, and leave a shooter open? Someone explain that to me??? What defensive scheme is that. Cuz to be honest they only won cuz Crawford went on a run where he took a lot of risky, poor percentage shots that went in. The Raptors missed some uncontested shots too. Also it's amazing how much better we play when Curry doesn't.

[GoKnIcKsDLEE42]

yo that was a sick game to watch. remember those tumbler guys?? they were crazy!

I've been saying this for a long time. Curry is the biggest liabilty on the team. He's overrated, overpaid, was overused last season, is one dimensional, plays with no heart, has no defense, no rebounds, no free throws, no passing ability. The only thing he can do is get alley oops, get hook shots, and flip the ball up for a lucky bounce.He's a gifted center with lots of money, confidence given by coaching staff and players, and with a starting spot on the team, but he has blown every opportunity he has been given to be the star of this team. The Knicks definitely are better without Curry. That's exactly why this year's draft is so important. We need to draft a center that can rebound and that has defense.Not a center that averages 4.7 rebounds and .4 blocks, like Curry.In a way, the Zach Randolph trade was good. We got rid of Francis' large contract, and we got a guy that can score and rebound. Plus, Frye wasn't playing well on the Knicks either.
Randolph is >>>Frye.
