Crawford vs Blake......nah
jones vs b roy......jones dont put up stats
whos gonna fill in for q-rich?
Z-Bo vs aldridge....best matchup available

Capital Punishment is one of my favorites......illmatic use to be and mite still be my favorite, maybe its dark and hell is hot or the infamous. We gotta have a best cd thread in the hangout section.

lyrically pun mite of been the greatest, it can easily be argues. From one line to the next he could rhyme more words than anyone else....I heard he has songs where 8 words would rhyme from one line to the next. I forgot what song it was, maybe you came up with noreaga.

thanx man but how can you think my opinions are insane? There all backed up by stats. If starbury arguements have lasted as long as they have their must be some validity to both perspectives. I dont have problems with people disagreein (im sure it doesnt seem this way) but I think people should at least see that my point of view is a reasonable way to think.

I would say team Starbury won the battle. We laid down more facts and it wasnt all stats, their was alot of detailed analysis mixed in. If you go through all the Marbury battle threads theres alot of knowledge dropped:

MSG33
Metro
ABCD
Pricey
goknicksDLee42
and others

I know alot of shit was repeated by all of us but I think team starbury dropped more stats and facts. Team-Starbury-haters had a couple of good points but the only one I really value is Marbury not being a vocal leader off the court in the locker room. I feel like hes a leader on the court. He didnt get alot of consecutive playin time this year because of circumstances mentioned over and over again but he had some good games, how about that Chicago game where he dished to Lee for the dunk and then hit a 3 to seal the deal? I shouldnt be startin up with this again, the Starbury battles are played out for now. If a Starbury battle comes dont expect to see me stay out of it but I would like to avoid one. Im not doin a good job.


Another great Game Thread (I LUV the Read).

The answer to the Marbury/Starbury thang is that Marbury can be affective at certain time and certain teams however, Marbury is a terrible teammate like Zach Randolph, both are uncoachble products that do not want to accept 12 to 16 minutes of playingtime in alot of games where they are the teams big weak area.

The matchup of Knicks vs Blazers is the same clarity of "Individual-Players vs Team-Players".
The Blazers did what the Knicks was supposed to do 3 seasons ago, break the team down to "TWO-UNITS" to get chemistry within the lineups.
The Blazers have "Two-Units" of 4 players that co-exist with "Brandon Roy", inwhich both units differ athletic performance has made Brandon Roy the Super-Star that was born in him. Coach MiMillian is having a hard time trying to break the rotation down to just 8-players.

As for the Knicks they are clueless of co-existing players in their lineups for favor of Isiah Thomas so-call Star player getting a certain amount of playingtime (14-31). It's hard to win when you have one player on the court that never plays Defense (Zach Randolph), but when you have Two Players (Zach & Curry) it really become difficult. But the Knicks have 3 and a Half Players that fails on their defensive assignments consistently game after game (Zach, Curry, Q.Rich, and Crawford "terrible on Defense").

Portland is in desperate need for a WIN, and probably showed up to yesterday at practice planning hard for this Knick WIN Blind-Folded.
Losing to Cleveland by one point when they had the lead the entire game has made them realize that their Super-Star Brandon Roy is good but not compared to the Great Lebron James whom can get the best out of his teammates when he digs into them.

true.true... and then when u go with some "D" inserting jefferies/balkman, u have at least 2/5 of your lineup who have zero "O".. and if mardy is at the point, then its 3/5th of your lineup...

JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stephon Marbury is not apart of this franchise ANYMORE!!!!!!!!

It's in the past. Can we stop having these debates about him???????? It's getting old, and its a big reason I stopped posting as much as I used to.

I can't take it anymore.

Please stop. Can we? I'll swear to god I think I would be willing to pay people to stop bringing out the same argument that has been going on for about 3 years. I mean it. Whats everyone's paypal account? I'll put some money up on this.

I haven't said anything negative about him in months, can we all just come to terms that people hate him and people love him- and leave it at that? PERIOD!

I promised not to talk about him months ago, and I havent. It's not that hard. Just live in the "Now" and forget about trying to get people to agree with ur thougths on him.

umm, Blazers 96- Knicks 91

Thank you!

Can we also stop making this a rap/hip-hop forum please! This is supposed to be about the Knicks and/or basketball. Send personal messages to each other about your favorite music. I don't subject anybody to the music I like, so please don't do it to us.

Other than that, MSG you do an awesome job with the game threads. I don't think I've expressed my appreciation (no homo) yet, but keep up the great work (except the hip-hop crap).

I use to be a fan of Collins but dude has really fallen off. This is his second year in the league and he still has that nervous rookie look on his face everytime he's on the court. He usually stops his dribble at the top of the 3 point line and passes instead of penetrating. He's awfully slow for a pg and hurts the team by not taking open shots when it's given to him, which is very often.

Overall, Collins is a poor man's Charlie Ward.

I thank you for liking my game threads. lol this did turn into a hiphop thread but Im gonna bring it back to Knicks by saying sumthin controversial:

Marbury is the best Knick even with his injury

shit......

I gotta leave him out of it. How about....

Eddy Curry is fat

shit.......

Everyone already knows this

The Knicks will lose by 8 points tonight.

I wouldn't call hip hop crap.. Anyway. Tonight I think Brandon Roy will simply out play Jamal Crawford on both ends. Nate will cross up Jake. and EC should have a easy job on Pryzbilla. Take a look out for Travis Outlaw. This should be a part of the game threads as well. Bench players that have expressive games from time to time.

Charlie Ward was the MAN! A Defense Specialist.
Ward did not mind telling coach JVG to take him out and put in Rivers, Childs, and even Frank Williams.
The Knicks sat Ward on the bench without playingtime his first two seasons.

Mardy Collins cant breath on this Knick team with Bums (Q.Richardson, No-D Crawford, And Starbury) demanding the ball from him as soon as he dribble across the halfcourt line. Plus this Knick Team dont look like it PRACTICE any Scrimage team plays on Offense or Defense in their Practice center, since Coach Don Chaney.

I'm glad you notice that Collins give the ball up as soon as he brings it upcourt, because if he didn't he will be benched like Nate Robinson was the last three seasons. And Nate created on plays so Frye, Lee, Balkman, Crawford, and himself could score. The rest of his teammates Nate gave less than a ..... about.

I love all music my man. Blues, jazz, funk, soul, rock ....and yes, old school rap is cool too. lol. I was just complaining about this becoming a hip-hop forum instead of a Knicks forum. Let's keep the talk to mostly Knicks or I will have to unload some real music on you guys... haha!!

I look for Randolph to have a big game against his old team, so that means the Knicks will lose. When the black-hole dominates the ball, the Knicks lose.
Portland 102 Knicks 94.

Glad to see Joe Johnson get in there he deserves it. And a little off topic but can anybody tell me why new orleans is considered a west team?
In case you didn't know, the New Orleans Hornets did used to be part of the Eastern Conference, for a short period of time,and they made the playoffs that year.However,when the Bobcats opened up their new franchise in Charlotte, the NBA wanted to have 15 teams in the east and 15 teams in the west, so they just moved the Hornets to the west, and made the Bobcats part of the east.I'm sure there's other reasons behind it,but evening out the franchises for each Conference is definitely one of them.And by the way,New Orleans was orignially considered part of the eastern conference in the NBA.I did some research,and I found out that the 1974-1978 New Orleans Jazz were also part of the eastern conference.

The Lakers just traded Aaron McKie,Kwame Brown,Javaris Crittenton,and 2 first round picks to the Grizzlies for Pau Gasol and a second round pick.Whether you like Gasol or not, Pau is an allstar,better rebounder and defender,and better shooter than Curry.F*ck, yo! The Knicks should've made an offer.We have better players than Aaron McKie,Kwame Brown,and Javaris Crittenton on our team.I don't even know who Javaris Crittenton is.And the funny thing is that Isiah is probably going to trade for Larry Hughes instead or Darius Miles instead.With his way of thinking, I could definitely see this happening.

OH Sh!t. Lakers will be crazy.. I can't believe that trade went through. The Lakers got the better of the deal parting with the scrub Kwame. WOW! Thats some trade.

Now the Knicks should fellow. I mean, all the horrible teams start new.. and young. Isiah's gotta see that.
