LOL... so I guess being excited about a new season is just limited in NY?

And if you read my posts I'm still excited.... why don't you go back to blowing Green Day you c0ck smoker.

And werent you the same person that said Cassel would have no impact with the clippers???

Yeah.. he's like 105... but I've hated Cassell since Houston. Yet that alien manages to keep playing well year after year.

On the other hand... The Clippers have a nice team with Brand, Corey, Shawn and Cutino. I do hope they have a better season than the Lakers.

I have to admit he does look like an alien

"Sam Cassell phone home..."

LOL... a majority of the team is struggling to find their place. It's only 3 games.. I know what JC can do... I'm willing to be patient. Everyone is finding it tough under the new system. Steph is trying to adjust and struggles.. he's not sure when to take over the game at times.. which is weird.

Brown is a idiot to move Q to the shooting guard... it's as easy as having JC start with Steph.. and then rotate steph to the SG when Nate is in the game.

They can also slide Lee to the SF cause he's a rebounding machine and a good slasher. Same thing with Ariza.. who's defense gets better and better game by game.

Anyone watching Knick games... look out for those 4 guys... Ariza, Nate, Lee and Frye. What they did yesterday made me proud to be a Knicks fan. Even with the 0-3 start.

I know what JC can do as well, talent wise he has it..but he doesn't know at all how to play basketball and he is mentally incompitent..and he can't play a lick of defense or hustle. Brown already hates his a$$, lol. The whole team is entirely to used to playin ghow they want to play. They just have too many players who need the ball in their hands to be effective, and they really have no one to play defense. NY is looking bleak.

I don't know.. I'm not looking at things that way.. it's too early in the season to judge.. a lot of these players haven't had good coaching.. or too many mediocre coaches in their careers. This is all a work in progress and it's gonna take a while for everyone to know their role on the team.

See JC is used to jacking up shots on command and now he's getting used to being leashed. Same thing with Steph.. they're all having to learn to play within the team. And right now they're all trying to figure things out.. which is why JC is struggling and why the Knicks are 0-3... To be honest they'd be 2-1 if they had shot better Free throws.. that's what's killed them more than their play. At this moment I'm not worried... nor am I worried about this season because I know it's gonna take some time to adjust.

i am i die hard knicks fan but crawford needs to stop jackin up everything also keep in mind they have a million young players but larry brown really never had young teams he benched darko for 2 seasons

He has though and it's why he's struggling.. he's not sure when he should shoot or if he should shoot... I wish Jamal would know he can drive to the basket anytime he wants to.. he's got a nasty cross over and is quick.. real quick. I know he'll get it eventually.

And if there was ever a time where Larry Brown was wrong about rookies.. yesterday was the game. He took Frye, Lee, Nate, and Trevor at a time when the knicks had ALL the momentum. And threw in Malik Rose for no damn reason.

Larry Brown has to know he's got 4 solid young players who work hard and hustle. Frye has a great shot and some decent low post moves.. Lee can rebound as good as anyone on the team.. his 10 rebounds in 18 minutes proves that.. and Nate can push the ball upcourt faster than anyone I've ever seen in a Knick uniform.

And Ariza? His defense and ability to steal the ball.. as well as slash and finish strong have all made him one of my favorite players on the team. If he develops his jumpshot.. he's gonna be prime time. Book it.

 

[Whack Arnolds]

Crawford just doesn't know how to play / work hard/ or play D... he will never survive with Brown, just the way he couldn't stay in line with a good coach that demands alot out of his players like Scott Skiles.

Last night VC threw down this sick dunk on Zo:

Last night VC threw down this sick dunk on Zo:

there were like 4 posters of Gonzo getting dunked on last night.... yet he still managed 6 blocks?

He's a joke.

 

[Whack Arnolds]

I give him A+ for effort. Hell, if Zo was a young man again..I doubt any of those would have been dunks.

 

[Equint77]

of course... when he was in his prime he would have gotten his hand on a few of them... but damn.... how many times does a guy have to get posterized in one game?

RJ got him a few times... VC tagged him a mess of times. The only one who didn't dunk on him was Wade... and I'd hope one day Dwayne would.

IT'S DWYANE, lol. Wade blocked the ish out of VC's ish though... I was content with that.

 

[Equint77]

lol... I suck at spelling.. I'm just gonna call him by his nickname... Flash from now on.

 

[Whack Arnolds]

It's all good man, you're still my numero uno.

 

[NOFX]

Well The Clippers finally lost there first game to the t-wolves. No Shame 3-1 Baby!!!

Clipps have alot of guys who''ll fight over the ball.

not really.... it'll probably be problematic between Cutino and Cassell... for some reason they hardly call plays for Brand.

They'd be stupid to keep the ball away from maggette.

 

[NOFX]

From what I seen so far Cassel and Cutino play well together

 

[JMT]

NOFX shutup the clippers are god awful they wont even make te playoffs

 

[Whack Arnolds]

But Maggette is there best scorer, and he isn't even playing right now. Then you also got to factor in Livingston...

 

[NOFX]

NOFX shutup the clippers are god awful they wont even make te playoffs

Dont get mad cuz Arenas got shutdown by a Shaqless Heat team last year in the Playoffs!!!

 

[Go Web Go!]

He's a joke.

Knicks fan, eh?

 

[Immortalfire]

My Hawks lead the Lakers right now...
