Joe Johnson is on fire early. Really good first 8 minutes of basketball.
As Im typing this he just abused Lebron.

RockHardTen1985 01-10-2014 08:36 PM

Holy ****. Great great 1st quarter.
Joe Johnson has 22
Lebron has 16

RockHardTen1985 01-10-2014 10:17 PM

Great game... Getting really physical. Birdman almost dropped the big elbow on KG.

RockHardTen1985 01-10-2014 10:27 PM

Win or lose if BK plays like this every night they will be the 3 seed come playoff time.

RockHardTen1985 01-10-2014 11:08 PM

Shaun Livingston going beast mode. Still a shame all the injuries he has had.

Warrick was a beast and Mcnamera made a ton of big shots and was 100% the leader of the team.
Edelin was OK and so was my dude Craig Forth.
Warrick averaged 15 and 9 BTW.

Thanks for helping me Knicks get back on track!!


Carmelo Anthony has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played between Jan. 6 to Jan. 12, the NBA announced Monday.

Anthony led the New York Knicks to a 3-0 record last week. He ranked second in the conference in scoring (27.0 ppg) and steals (2.33 spg), and third in minutes (39.2 mpg).

The highlight of Anthony's week came Thursday, when he connected on 12 of 24 field goal attempts en route to 29 points in a win over the Miami Heat. He added eight rebounds and five assists in the Knicks' 102-92 upset win.

lol And???
This is what he does. He will never win anything in this league. He is a selfish scorer. Nothing wrong with that I guess. He is another Barkley or Ewing, well a poor mans Barkley or Ewing.

He might end up being that, like I said a poor mans. I prefer winners. And if guys I like, example being Harden never win anything Ill say the same thing about him. I dont get that kill a team, selfish vibe from Big Game James though.
He will never win anything though. I dont care if he gets hooked w/ Paul, Love, Rondo. His only hope would be somehow playing w/ Lebron. And Lebron would never EVER PLAY W/ MELO.

The guy played 1 year of college basketball and won the Nat'l championship and outstanding player of the tourney.

His teams have never missed the playoffs in his entire NBA career.

2 gold medals.

Seems like a lot of winning?

Harden is a shorter version of Anthony that plays even less defense. Because he was drafted by a team with a great GM and traded to a team with a very good GM doesnt make him a better player or a "winner". It just makes him fortunate.

Is Chris Paul not a "winner" because his resume doesnt measure up to Carmello's?

So you're a big Robert Horry fan?

The guy was tough, played good D, rebounded OK and was as clutch as they come. Notable clutch shots for this dude range out over 10 years. Started in 95 for Houston in Western Conference finals at San Antonio. Ending in 2005 for the Spurs in game 5 of the finals against Detroit. With a ton of great moments in between.

Chris Paul is more of a leader, but he also has won nothing yet.
He's also not a team wrecker.

Horry and Harden would have been great together.
Big shot Bob and Big game James together would have been special.

Horry was as clutch as they come, but because he was on seven NBA championship teams, it doesn't make him better than guys who never got a ring. You seem to think only guys who won rings are worth anything...it's not that simple. How would you compare Horry to Barkley and Ewing?

So this means that Paul is not a winner because he was drafted by New Orleans and was traded to the Clippers?

What team did Anthony wreck? Can you wreck a team into the playoffs?

Exactly what big games of note does James Harden have? I remember the one chance he had in the Finals he played poorly. 16-48 from the field in the series against Miami.

Cannon Shell 01-14-2014 09:57 AM

Big Shot Bob averaged 7 points and 4 rebounds a game for his career.

Bash a man with 7 rings but defend Melo? I respect you way to much to have such a bad opinion on this. You're a fan of Melo so your biased. I get it, I was a fan until I saw the light.
