Pistons may be the worst team in the league to me.

Factoring in the fact they were great just a few years ago. Had Stuckey that was younger. Then payed quite a bit to bring in Gordon and Charlie V. It's just a mess.
At least with teams like Philadelphia and Washington - You kind of knew they'd be bad, and they are clearly rebuilding, and in a case like Wash. they have a player to build around. I'm not sure what the heck their doing in Detroit.

im having fun as a knick fan

next 4 games - tor, min, tor, wash

gotta do 3-1 or better on this before denver, bos and miami back to back to back.... :|

dave

well, they went 5-0, beating denver yesterday! woot woot

now comes perhaps the team's toughest stretch - celts, heat, cavs (win), thunder, bulls, heat and magic to close out 2010.

they could go 1-6 but im optimistic that if they go 3-4 or better, ill be happy

seriously though...landry fields! dear panini, more landry autos, please

Fields NEEDS to be a Nugget!

 

[daveyou]

Fields NEEDS to be a Nugget!

sadly, with the way he is playing, he's going to HAVE to be included....

chandler, fields and gallo is what thought was what denver could be looking for although the knicks do not want to include fields on this, instead, giving up randolph

however, randolph's stock is so low now that it woudn't work...

stupid tmac ruined us!!!

ive been impressed (who hasnt? lol) with Fields so far, but lets get real here.

we are talking about Carmelo Anthony. we get Carmelo, then we can possibly draw CP3

Why you want to replace Felton? He's been amazing this year.

I say the Knicks just wait and sign Melo next offseason. He's pretty much come out and said that is where he is going.

Fair enough about Felton.

as for why get Anthony now.....i realize he said he wants to come to NYC. BUT, if Denver trades him to Orlando or Dallas, and he happens to win it all there, he might change his mind and choose to stay there

this is what the knicks want to do, of course! so they can retain fields and gallo. however, with that whole lockout situation next year, melo wants BOTH the extension and a trade to the knicks

honestly, not sure how all this will play out but one way or another, denver can't risk losing him without getting some pieces back like how it played out for lebron.

denver wants more than what the knicks can give but as time passes towards the trade deadline, they may not have a choice but to give in to melo's "demands" at this time which we as knicks fans, have no issues with. lol! but still...fields' game was def. unexpected. i could do without gallo but i'd like some home grown talent next year!!

[daveyou]

also, about felton, yes, he has been a godsend so far but he is signed for only 2 years, same time as cp would hit free agency.

let's just say felton keeps this up the next 2 years (and lose some baby fat. lol!) i would have no issues with him being out pg over cp and use the funds for a tough, defensive minded player.

dave

 

[daveyou]

ill stop after this post. lol!

you guys ever notice that landry fields look identical to russell wong, the guy who was in "romeo must die" and "the mummy 3" and also from one of my favorite 90s tv show, "the vanishing son"?

wish i could attach some images at work. lol!!

ok, dont wanna jinx my knicks further. done til wed.

Amare's streak ends tonight!

 

[kdailey4315]

Anyone know what Troy Murphy did to piss of Avery Johnson?

NO!

 

[Tomlinson21RB]

I've wondered that myself. I know he was injured to start the season, but maybe Avery thought he should have played through it or milked it too long?

 

[Tomlinson21RB]

Amare's streak ends tonight!

scratch that. I really expected KG to match up with Amare, not Semih. Although Semih has shown the holes in Amare's defense as well.

 

[Tomlinson21RB]

Spencer Hawes with 4 blocks in 4 minutes for the 76ers.

 

[Tomlinson21RB]

well, the refs apparently have caved to the pressure of NY. that tech on KG for delay of game was an asinine call.

 

[Tomlinson21RB]

Yes, I'm talking to myself.

I'll admit, Amare has to be at the top of the list for MVP candidates, but there's just something wrong about chanting MVP every time he shoots free throws when we haven't even gotten to all star weekend.

 

[Tomlinson21RB]

I've seen games like this from the Celtics, and I know they won't win. It's one of those games where they exert all their energy going on runs to tie the score, and then instantly let the other team go back on an 8-0 run.

The refs aren't helping, but they Celts just don't have it tonight.
