You were dethroned?

I have no comeback for this.

You should consider overthrowing, so you can get your crown back.

I would not have put Playa in an appreciation thread with Briggs.

Briggs does his homework and researches players like he looking for up and coming stocks. I've had a lot of arguments with him, he is sometimes mean to me(...sniff)and his comments are perhaps a tad heavy handed when they don't need to be, but I understand that he likes the team and is always thinking of how to improve it, even if I disagree with his assessments. I also take his player research seriously- again, he is not always right (he is a sucka' for athletic bigs)- but I don't have the time to follow college ball that often except for the tournament- so I sometimes learn of a player for the first time from him.

Playa is a provocateur, par excellence, who tries to push buttons by posting on certain topics. He seems to limited in terms of what I see him write about this or that player or issue. Don't know if he is a racist, as some have insinuated- I will let people judge that for themselves by reading his posts and drawing their own conclusion. He does seem to have agendas which drive him, though. Maybe when I retire in a few years I will be bored enough to do a word analysis of his posts- might be revealing.

I will make a prediction. If AR and Gallo remain on the team, you can be sure of getting a regular diet of posts where Playa is providing his usual "objective" analysis of the two young men, and god forbid Anthony's minutes don't measure up to Playa's expectations- his pet name for MDA will be "pasted" all over this forum.

Paladin55, everybody has their say on this site, just because you don't appreciate me and others do don't sweat me because i don't communicate they way YOU want me to, plz you and those who don't like what I say just put me on ignore and be done with it...... I DARE YOU TO.

I see what you did there.

How does BoBo and Allanfan20 qualify as an army?

But tell us how you really feel.

Palladin--I love the team. I wouldve done one part differently--I would not have signd the Russian bought pick 25--took Whiteside and signed Livingston and guaranteed him a third year if it took that(still cheap) but we have s great 5 right now

I like to hear Playa's theories.....what about the Mayan calendar and Dec, 2012?

Briggs surely knows his basketball and the college players.

Heck...my post was simply me having my say. Why put you on ignore, or try keep you from saying the type of things you say, however agenda driven your comments seem to be, when I can simply fire back in a post of my own?

You are like the Glenn Beck of UK, and you post to provoke, so you have to expect that people are going to have some strong reactions to what you write. Just wish you were not so predictable at times.

Nothing said by any of us on UK means anything to the outside world. Teams won't make decisions based on your words or mine, and our opinions, however heartfelt, will not alter facts.

I think this must be why Paul is so anxious to be moved to a contending team. He is worried that if he waits until his contract is over there will be no more titles to contend for.

Very Good!

I guess he won't care how much he resigns for then, either. Nice!

I don't think anything will happen, just like THE Y2K 1999-2000 DEAL

Y2K was just the incompetent media overreacting. Very few software or hardware systems are time-based; most systems would've acted normally and just had incorrect time records for some things.

But, your answer on the Mayan thing was boring. Couldn't there be some secret group trying to ensure that Dec 2012 does happen? That would be way more interesting.

Playa brings a somewhat unique viewpoint which I find really hard to agree with. But it is a valid viewpoint and needs to be respected for what it is.

After its all said and done, this is just a place to hang out and bash the Knicks. I love these boards, spend way too much time here, and I just think we people tend to get carried away at times. I am guilty of it too, but I think that's part of the fun. We have a great bunch of regular posters and some that post on and off, and its the difference in opinions that makes this interesting. Keep it coming guys.
