Golden St putting a beat down on the Celtics. Big game James having another good night.

I'd love to see him stay but realistically they arent going to be very good next year unless some stunning development occurs which is unlikely. The fear that I have if he stays is that they go out and overpay a bunch of 2nd and 3rd tier guys to contend in the East and then mortgage the future again by trading Hardaway or more draft picks in some pathetic attempt to jump Indiana or Miami because Dolan orders them to.

So essentially as a Knicks fan you almost have to hope they get worse so that Dolan and his minions cant possibly have some on the fly pseudo-contender plan that involves trading for some corpse like Steve Nash. Pretty pathetic really.

Don't look now but the Nets are over .500 and playing some pretty good basketball the last few games.

15 at halftime yet still has a +/- of -1 in 12 minutes despite his team leading by 10. Not sure what any of this means except I'm sure Joey will be showing up soon to taunt me.

The guy didn't suddenly forget how to score Chuck. People acted as if there's no precedent for struggling players in crappy situations reviving their careers with a fresh start on a better team. Like I said right after the trade, we gave up two rusty anchors for a 26YO proven scorer to come off the bench. The opposite of a lateral move.

The schedule is pretty soft the rest of the way too. Toughest stretch is probably next week: v TOR, @ MIA, @ WSH, v PHX. After that, it's a lot of bad teams. Good chance to get that 3-seed.

Hey I didnt come on here and say anything after he lit the Bulls up for 3 the other day! You are correct in that he has provided scoring and the other two corpses they traded away couldnt even do that but I find it so interesting that he can provide almost no impact on a game except for points.

In 115 minutes played in NJ he has 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 0 blocks, 6 TO's and 2 fouls. His per 36 min averages are bizarre. He doesn't even commit turnovers or foul anyone.

I'm not saying that you are wrong because he has provided scoring and you live in Jersey City now and people from there usually carry Uzi's but just pointing out how unusual it is for a player to become so absolutely one dimensional.

LOL. Guess you haven't been to JC in a while. I'm about to move back to Brooklyn because it's cheaper than my neighborhood.

I'd rather move to the ozone itself

RockHardTen1985 03-06-2014 06:44 PM

I like 2 games tonight.
Went 1-1 on Tuesday night.
I like Miami money line plus 130
Phoenix money line plus 225

$100 for 130
$100 for 225.

RockHardTen1985 03-06-2014 07:56 PM

Miami looks like **** tonight.

Better put the mask back on... The Spurs are tough when they're healthy and when they want to play.

Good call with the Suns

There have been some horrific nationally televised games this year. For example the game on TNT right now. 73-40 Clippers over Lakers at half.

Grizzlies-Bulls & Pacers-Rockets should be a bit better tonight.

Gotta have those Lakers on national TV!

Imagine if that Suns-OKC game had been on TNT like it should have been.

It's pretty much just because the Knicks and/or Lakers are on national TV every other day it seems.

That OKC/PHX game was awesome. Jeff Hornacek is coach of the year hands down.

I wouldnt be surprised to see some sort of flex scheduling in the future, at least for the TNT game which is the only games of the week that they cover.

He might be coach of the decade

Now we get Lakers / Thunder on national tv twice in five days.
