Thanks for a great game thread. We're real bad and half our team is out hurt. I don't know, let's have some fun out there fellas, or something! I don't know.

The Bucks have some key injuries but that squad still looks good enough to send the Knicks to their 11th straight loss. They need to win tonight otherwise the Knicks may set a franchise record losing streak of 13 games on Wed. Did anyone expect this with our 60M man Phil Jackson on board?

Aldrich, Acy, THJ, JR Smith, and Calderon on the court and somehow we come out not looking too bad. Couple nice passes from JR and a 3 from Calderon.

I know we stink no matter what, but refs are making some pretty ridiculous calls (or in some cases no calls) against us out there in the 1st quarter. Night after night, I watch teams use a fraction of our ball movement on offense and have more success because they have the shooters that we don't have.

Down 22 - 21 at the end of the 1st quarter. I'm betting that Milwaukee did not expect us to compete at all, but we have come out with some intensity at least.

Wow, the wheelchair basketball team that the Knicks sponsor went undefeated this season and won the league championship this year. Best team with the name Knicks on it by far right now. Nice work, fellas.

Acy got his one big highlight play of the season nice thunder-dunk

The Knicks 100M cap roster, are playing a 8 man rotation that salary total under $20M

I'd trade Calderon at the deadline for an expiring and a couple of number 2s. Cut Dally and trade JC, that would leave the 2 draft picks as the only assets to salvage this trade for PJ.

Calderon's a idiot .. Calderon's worst than Felton

I don't think he's been better than Felton. With Melo out he should be option one as the scorer but he doesn't shoot, took 3 shots along with Knight toying with him. I don't know what Jackson saw in the guy.

I was thinking the same exact thing. I believed our poorish start was partly to blame on his absence. Hey, perhaps we win half of those close games we ended up choking away. But this cat aint a key piece, third-4th option, or even a significant role player... At best, he's a 15-20 minute 3rd guard off bench. NO wonder why he led NBA in 3-point shooting. He takes 2 shots a game. He makes Priggs look like a gunner.

With these Melo-less lineups... a legit 7 mil a year guard should EASILY score 20.


NYK will have to burn an asset to unload his 7 mil contract for the next 2 years. Forget young players or draft picks, we need to use Shump or Amare to dump Smith and Calderon and that 14 mil in salary next year

Never fails to amaze me how full the Garden is with the Knicks playing this bad against a small market team like the Bucks. The fans almost give a pass to the Knicks to lose, I've often wondered if the fans didn't show up if that would make a difference.

Felton has played less than 10 minutes of combined game time this season. Just throwing that out there. Everyone needs to get over the Dallas trade. It is not even close to the reason why we are so bad this year.

We have over 63 million dollars of salary not playing any minutes tonight. People need to get over Calderon.
