Knicks · Game thread: Knicks in the dance and need we needs them to Rests, But billboards be damned and we go beat the Nyets! (page 6)

Had hoped to see us close games out like this earlier, but I am glad it's finally happening. Hope this can be sustained.

thanks guys

nm, they fixed it

I like Walker's hustle...

NJ keeps racking up the team fouls.. lol

4th Qtr 8:00
NJN 79 NYK 103

so are any nouveau "knugget" sell outs ready to start to embrace the team and MELO yet?

melo has been amazing...mvp-caliber maybe even more than stat was earlier this season...

praise the lawd!!

we have 2 reel playaz!!

So, assuming we hold on to win, this game guarantees the Knicks will finish .500 or higher for the first time in 10 years. Last time it happened JVG was the coach and we lost to the Raptors led by Vince Carter and TMac. It's been a long time coming.

4th Qtr 5:49
NJN 83 NYK 103

4th Qtr 4:10
NJN 84 NYK 109

basically 3 blowout wins in a row...when was the last time that happened?

4th Qtr 1:29
NJN 88 NYK 116

Final  
NJN 93 NYK 116

We won't have a losing record for the first time in 10 years. It feels weird. Very weird.

glad we are whooping these low talent teams. this team is beginning to instill a little bit of trust. the next three games will be interesting.

I don't think any fan of the team would say they aren't excited about the way Melo is playing or that they don't like Melo. I know for myself it was hard to see 4/5 of the starting line up of this team traded. This year was the first in a decade where the Knicks were exciting again. Trading away three guys 24 or under was hard. Giving up draft picks sucked. I like Melo but this deal still stings.

When I was 17 all I wanted was a Martin guitar. This is a pretty high end guitar which I had to save for many months to be able to afford. I finally saved enough money after sacriicing good times with my friends I could've otherwise had. When I had enough in the bank, I went to withdraw the money. As soon as that hard earned cash that was a long time in the making hit my hands, I immidiately felt uneasy about parting with it. I drove to the music shop, strummed the guitar a bit, and decided there was no way I could hand over that amount of money. It seemed like way too much. So, I went home and played the old guitar I learned on. After a few days, I finally decided I had to go through with it....the Martin just sounded too sweet and gave me too much joy.

This is like the Melo trade. The Knicks toiled for so long and we, the fans, were so miserable and we finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel with all this youth and cap space that we had saved for throughout so many sacrificed seasons. We knew that we couldn't make a bad decision with all we worked for. And then the Melo trade happened and everything we were working for was finally realized, for better or worse.

We gave up a lot, but we got a lot. Melo and STAT will bring us much joy in my opinion. Just like my Martin still brings me joy to this day, 12 years later.

Derrick Brown hit some 3s....ya'll know what that means?

Indeed it is. 41 is a nice number. Looking a bit swaggish but still it was just the Nyets Without Stat though. Well done.

Of course the Nyets were missing 40% of their starting lineup, too.

A comment on Lopez: He has some skills, but the Nets interior D was like a cheap whore yesterday- they allowed penetration at will. Where was Lopez during all of this?

The Lopez line included 27 pts, 2 rebounds, O blocked shots, and one 1 personal foul in 32 minutes.
