Preseason: Knicks @ Nets 10/20/08 Game Thread

jpz17 · Oct 19, 2008

Presenting a limited chance to see JPZ17's PRE-GAME SHOW!

I will only be doing a few games this year, so don't get used to it!!!

New York Knicks
@
New Jersey Nets

Watch the New Young Up & Coming Nets and Vince Carter take on Rising star Wilson Chandler and the Knicks

*Key Match-up*

Wilson Chandler
VS

Vince Carter

Wilson Chandler may guard VC because of his great defense last game
Vincanity will probably bring his usual game

This will be one of Wilson's last chances before the regular season to prove he deserves a spot in the line-up. The play Boston New Jersey Miami and Philly before opening tip-off. Stephon Marbury will also have to prove to knicks fans that he is what he worked for this offseason. Curry should get good minutes today because D'Antoni needs to know just how bad he is. D'ntoni will evaluate many pkayers today because today if their first game against a bad team. The Nets are a quick team so D'Antoni's run and gun won't work as well as it did against Boston. Look for Randolph, Marbury, and Chandler to have good games. Maybe Jeome James will get some minutes. This could be his last day as a Knick, along with Rose and Grunfeld. Mardy Collins might get minutes, and if he does, Harris will destroy him. Duhon will not have a good game, Harris is just too good on d. Marbury will know just how to get past Harris and drive to the basket. No, Robinson will not score 19 points again. Randolph will have the high score today..

Thats it for my pre-game show, I hope I can do it another time......

*EDIT* Please have a moderator add the GAME THREAD thread logo to this, thanks

Chandler is the key player

god thread JPZ....Chandler is the man to watch even though this is more of a CHandler appreciation thread lol.....just kidding but on the real The Knicks should win by 20 points. We beat Boston and Boston beat the Nets by a lot.

The only possible advantage the Nets have is if Lee stays out with the sprained ankle he had from last game, which I think won't be a problem. Put Chandler on Carter and we can blow out this team. Bobby Simmons should get a second look...he can shoot.

My problem is that Q Rich is still starting. Make him a bench player and let his contract die out while Chandler plays more minutes and gets better.

D-Lee42fan · Oct 19, 2008

Good thread JPZ, thanks for gettin this thread started for MSG. This should be a good game, as everyone knows the Nets are our cross river rival, i also agree that the chandler vs carter match up will will the key the match up for the game. I think chandler can definitely defend carter and he still will be able to be offensively productive. We beat boston, so beating new jersey shouldn't be a big deal. Hopefully we can put up strong numbers like we did against boston also, who knows maybe Nate the great will get hot from 3 point land again.

Nice Game thread, Nets Suck!

Yes my dude, bench Q!!!!! If Marbury is coming off the bench, why is this scrub starting?? Just cause he played well years ago in Phoenix, he is not the same player!!

portega1968 · Oct 20, 2008

Chandler had a college career-high 16 rebounds during a game against Dayton on Dec. 10, 2005. The 16 rebounds were the most by a DePaul freshman since Quentin Richardson had 16 against St Louis on Feb. 11, 1999.

The Irony of Life

Kiyaman · Oct 20, 2008

The Nets have a 6.6 SG-Carter and a 6.11 SF-Yi, if Dantoni plays Chandler at the PF in this game to go against the Nets Rough house F/C- Swift, Sean, Ryan, Boone, Lopez, or Najera, then I see Wilson Chandler getting hurt this season under coach Dantoni.

It's one thing to have your SF get caught on a switch and have to defend a PF, but to assign your SF to defend half of the PF in the league are asking for an injury. Even Lebron James, Prince, Melo, Pierce, and T-Mac, dont test the waters of defending a PF unless its crunchtime and they are 6.9 and better.

Balkman do got it better on the Denver Nuggets, he dont have to bang bodies defending PF and Centers on the Nuggets.

Dont sleep on the Nets 6.6 Simmons, 6.7 Chris Douglas Roberts, and 6.11 Yi.

MSGKnickz33 · Oct 20, 2008

Good game thread jpz, except one thing: Chandler has already done far more then enough to prove that he deserves to start. At the same time, his competition couldnt be any weaker, even if it was glen rice outta retirement :lol:

Q-rich lost.

jpz17 · Oct 20, 2008

sorry msg, D'Antoni trusts Q a lot, it will take a lot for Chandler to start, even though he is doing way better

MSGhobo247 · Oct 20, 2008

tAz

anyone notice Balkman is still at the top of the site?

StEpHoN_mArBuRy · Oct 20, 2008

Hey NBA.com actually acknowledges the fact we are improving on its home page. I dunno just thought it was pretty cool

DaTPRiNCE · Oct 20, 2008

nice thread jpz17. this is gonna be fun watching Chandler shut down Carter on d and Chandler will have a good game offensively and he'll prove that he should be the starter on this team i dont see Q-Rich starting past december...this will be a good game nicely contested then we'll eventually pull away. and yea finally some major website notices were improving lmao...we're gonna be better than anyone expects us to be.if only we played some defense...we need more players like Lee and Chandler!

JayJ44 · Oct 20, 2008

Lee's out for the game becuase of his ankle. Chandler's strarting at PF instead. Kind of a bummer because I was looking forward to seeing more of the Lee/Randolph combo, but let's see what Chandler can do with more minutes.

Kiyaman · Oct 20, 2008

Knick Fans which will you watch the Knicks vs Nets on Yes tv or MSG tv?

jpz17 · Oct 20, 2008

yes is much better picture quality wise.. but I don't like the announcers always talking nets. Chandler is doing good

Pricey · Oct 20, 2008

looks like Nate and Steph are going pretty well

Kiyaman · Oct 20, 2008

All those Knick-Fans who wanted to pick Brook Lopez with the 6th pick was accurate, he was the best available player and the best pick for the Knicks who had a dead weight Jerome James for 3 years in a row.

Dantoni would luv to have the speed of PG-Devin Harris and the running legs of C-Lopez on this Knick Roster to go in a lineup with Nate, Chandler, and Lee.

EddieCurrysCancer · Oct 20, 2008

Duhon and Marbury need to be our guards if Marbs is staying

Ive supported JCraw for a while,but dudes wayyy too streaky to be on this team...Duhon and Starbs seem to be on the same page everytime on the court

Curry keeps nailing his coffin closed with every shallow breathe down the court...he is slow-mo personified.

Chandler NEEDS to start

QRich is on his game tonight, which is about his 4 to 1 average...we get 3 mush games from him and one on...

I cant believe the difference between this year and the past 5...I KNOW its only pre-season, but after watching nearly every game the past two years after getting back in state, the ball movement, energy, shot making, defense, play calling, has ALL changed drastically...i really think we may hit 40-50w's this year. I'm not tryina sound too optimistic, but i dont see d'antoni letting these guys play at any less than this quality all year long, which leaves us lookin pretty f'n good imo.

oh and mardy collins dunk?! psssssh

KBlack25 · Oct 20, 2008

WTF is Duhon thinking?!?! Can't make a foul like that...
