Just a sad excuse for real basketball. THere is absolutely no ball movement on this team.

yep 40 three's is fools gold
You know...the Raptors as a team don't really bug me...it's their cocky ass fans that get to me.
And Bargnani...he's a bitch.

Check under the TWC thread. I think I found a way where you can watch games. It is free for two weeks. Hopefully after that things will have been resolved.
Fields did not foul him. Bargs fell for no good reason. Refs gave this game to Raptors. I guess they had to after giving Jorts the bolck a play earlier.
5 winnable games huh?....not with these Knicks. I predicted 3 and 2 in this 5 game stretch but I'm not comfy with that thought anymore.

Lack of point guard not really ball movement. Old suns was mostly Nash dribbling around til he found an open guy through penetrations. Baron Davis get well soon. We can pass the ball aroun all we want but if guys can't hit open jumpers it's useless.

This game wasn't winnable?
Look guys this thing is ugly now, but its not gonna stay this bad and we all know it. Right now this team can only be as good as TD plays. If he doesn't play well, it makes everything harder. The PG spot is not just key in MDA's offense, but in any offense you need SMART ball handling. We're just not getting that on a consistent basis. Sure if Melo was hot we could've won, but it would've just covered up the real problems.

It doesn't seem like we can.

of course it was but they didn't...that's my point.
Sigh, can't put yourself in such a hole. So many issues this game, too many 3s, lack luster d, ball movement, missed free throws. I think melo was great, thought Tyson played well. I think more than anything this is telling us exactly where the problems are. Hopefully, we are a more balanced team when we get all of our players back. Not having stat this game hurts us, same with no shump. Fields is not a starter and seems better suited as 6 man, plays looser. At this point, I'd be looking for a veteran 2guard to come in. bibby needs to be let go, he brings nothing to this team. Any d league guy is better than he is right now. Lin hasn't shown me anything to convince me he is any better.

Agree. it's not gonna stay this bad but hovering around 500 isn't gonna cut it and of course, nothings guaranteed. Even when they start to play better consistently it doesn't always equate to wins.
Starters: chandler, amare, melo, ?, baron
Bench: fields, Douglas, shump, jorts, Jeffries,
Maybe start shump, but I think he is to small.

Mda, the offensive guru needs to figure out floor spacing for stat , melo, chandler.
Would love to see chandler add at least one post move to his game. Or a short jump shot. He's got a good stroke at the line.

He is 6'5 with an nba body as a rookie. That is if he is a legit 6'5 and not 6'3/6'4. Anyway Iverson was under 6'0

I'm down, it works, we need more penetration and he can do that and plays D. Fields is good enough to be the feature on the 2nd unit.
It's gonna be a hard road, Charlotte always plays us hard, Washington gave the Celtics a good game tonight and the Pistons beat the Magic. My point: nothing's a given because the Knicks don't play with enough consistency or attitude.
