So is Smith playing tonight?

Good Luck to Balkman, i hope he keeps himself in shape...I think he'll eventually find a team he can stick with and hopefully make some money. He's a good role player that deserves some minutes

Someone please give Kiyaman a box of tissues!!!!!!

Yeah yeah yeah....Ewing, Oakley, Starks and Kiyaman will need a box of tissue
to watch this NO-Defense soft ass Knicks team.

The Knicks 7 game winning streak off of coach Woodson's defensive unit will
be put to a end by the Lottery Hornets team because of this silly JR Smith move....
we are going to see who need the tissue after the Hornets game....:smokin:
My 40 years of Defensive-Knicks disapeared in 2001....
The Knicks became a soft-soft offensive minded Girl-Scout cookie team....

No-D Dantoni, No-D Stat, No-D Melo, now we added a No-D J.R. Smith.....

Yes!!!

We are one of the worst 3point shooting teams in the league, and that is essential to our offensive system. He definitely makes us a better team from downtown.

I can imagine our offense with Lin driving around a screen, having Novak and Smith ready to pop in the 3ball, and Tyson and Amare rolling to the hoop... that is just a nightmare to defend for ANY team in this league!!!

You can hate D'Antoni, you may be worried about Smith and his impact on team chemistry (like me)... but you have to be real and accept that this lineup will be thumping the MSG.


u dont get it....think 8-man rotation....think how many minutes played by
certain players....think about the defense in the 7 game win streak....think
about the team (Hornets) that stopped the Knicks win-streak

We just lost to a 6-23 record team in MSG.....STFU

thats because guys are getting ahead of themselves, I'm happy this game brought us back to reality, that no matter who steps on that court we're gonna get their all now.

getting back Melo and Jorts plus the addition for Earl and Baron(see what I did there) will make us damn near untouchable.

Teams now know what to do with Lin, its up to D'Antoni/Lin to make the proper adjustments to keep us his solid play

p.s................dont ever disrespect me again, you hear me boy

OMG that counts more than each of the 7 consecutive wins we just got were so ****ed

OMG....this was our 3rd game in 4 nights and dum-dum Dantoni only used
a 8-man rotation....will he ever change :teeth:

I wonder if all the talk about Melo this mourning/afternoon had anything to do
with this loss to a 6-23 team....or maybe the 7 consecutive win players (8)
were distracted during the game by the big change in lineups & rotation next
week adding a 30+ minute Stat/Melo/and JR Smith to Dantoni's 8-man rotation
:alert: :alert: :crossfingers: :alert: :alert:

u really begging for me to diss-u right.....

it doesnt matter if all eleven players are healthy
Lin/Davis/Shump/Fields/Smith/Jeff/Melo/Novak/Jorts/Stat/Tyson....
Dantoni is only going to play 8 players per game using the stupidest-substitution
in his rotation hoping the players co-exist and create on their own.

you want a shot at the title chump lets go

there is no way he can use an 8 man rotation with our talent depth

tonight he played Lin/Fields/Walker/Stoudemire/Chandler/Novak/Jeffries/Shumpert all 20+ minutes

add in Davis/Anthony/Smith/Harrellson and you have 12 guys you can go to every night

yeah maybe Jordan and Bibby should have played some but regardless of the fact that he only played 8 guys we were missing key guys and could have won

u r a joke....u just confirm what I been mentioning.
Bibby is very useful....if u know how to use his talents, the Hawks used Bibby
talents to make it to the 2nd round, the Heat used Bibby talents to make it
to the Finals.
Dantoni cant coach pass 7 players....thats why with all that success in Phoenix
his butt was still kicked out of Phoenix. Do the math...

LMAO, no doubt bro!
Even though we were a little flat last night, I CAN'T WAIT to get Melo and JR in the fold...this gonna be good.

Sorry man, I can't agree.
What we have on our roster now is Bibby's corpse, and I'm sure the heat made it to the ECF due to other players "talents" mostly.

he's just mad we cut Balkman, dont mind him


The timing was all wrong for the JR.Smith signing....for several days we
had NBA analyst (NBATV, ESPN, Fan, ect.) mentioning negative factors about
the return of Melo is going to stop the Lin-ball movement. While NBA analyst
were all trying to get private interviews with Melo on how his return from injury
will benefit the Knicks lineup, our dum-dum interim GM Grunwald announce the
signing of a shoot-first SG-JR.Smith who PG skills is worst than Toney Douglas....
The outcome of the negative Melo interviews, and the signing of SG-JR.Smith
had a lot to do with why the wide talk of the new energy "LinSanity" Knicks
ended their amazing 7 game win streak at home (MSG) to a sold-out crowd
to one of the NBA top-3 losing teams the 6-23 Lottery Hornets.
Why PG-Bibby or PG-Douglas didnt receive any playingtime in the Knicks vs Hornets
game to backup a 41 minute Jeremy Lin? did they get the "Lamar Odom fever"
in practice that mourning at the announcing of JR Smith? or did headcoach
Dantoni forget this was a 3rd game in 4 days for a 2nd season PG-Jeremy Lin
who is not veteran PG-Steve Nash who has the ability to perform at top speed
for 41 minutes on his 2nd wind?

It does not matter how many decent healthy players the Knicks have on their
roster, the Knicks are still stuck with a headcoach Dantoni who career has
showed repeatedly he cant coach more than 7 players in his rotation....and 5
of those 7 players must be team-oriented complimentary players on offense
or defense to have any kind of success. Mike Dantoni has showed repeatedly
for 4 seasons to be the worst substitution headcoach in Knicks history.

What do u really know about J.R. Smith? on the Hornets with Baron Davis/CP3
under headcoach Byron Scott? or on the Bulls under headcoach Skiles? or on
the Nuggets with PG-Miller/PG-AI/or PG-Billups under headcoach Karl?
