Wow!

Chuck does what Chuck do. I can't hate on a brother.

The Knick hate is strong in that one.

LOL.

Hey, you know you're doing something right when you feel the hate against you. I take the dis' as a compliment.

you could literally paste any year onto the top of this story and it would be accurate. Barkley says the Knicks are TURRRBLE every year.

He hates D'Antoni's system so this is no surprise. Doesn't think any team can win with D'Antoni as coach.

Paraphrasing some Highlights(Lowlights?) from Sir Charles:

On the Knicks:

They're not very good

They don't play defense

They don't rebound the ball

They don't have a point guard

Baron Davis health cannot hold up to run D'Antoni's system

On Iman Shumpert:

I like him. He's more of a 2 guard though

On the Eastern Conference:

They should cancel the rest of the NBA season and have Miami and Chicago play eachother

Only team that could challenge Bulls and Heat are Celtics until they lost Jeff Green

On the Western Conference:

Clippers have no backups

OKC is a jumpshooting team, not enough low post scoring to win NBA title

Best team in west is the Portland Trailblazers

I never realized how bad Barkelys speech impedement was until I saw him on SNL.

He was truly Turrr-rible! And he was just not funny.

It adds character.

Chuck is the man.

Character my ass Oakley punked him:

Not even Charles Barkley was too bad for Oak to mess with. According to Peter Vescey of the New York Post, Oak slapped Barkley at a union meeting during the lockout and told him, “Every time I see you, I’m going to slap you.” In a later game, Oakley threw Barkey to the floor just three minutes into the first quarter, and Charles got up swinging. After the game, Clyde Drexler, a teammate of Barkley’s at the time, called Oakley a dirty player. Told of Drexler’s comment, Oak said, “He can blow me.”

I can't stand Barkley. He's just a loud mouth and he often contradicts himself within the same segment on his show. He hasn't really been watching the Knicks games. Perhaps the early games when we sucked, but I doubt that he's spent a lot of time going into the team like we do. He's spouting a lot of cliche's about the Knicks. Eventually the news will get around to him and he'll see the team for what it actually is this year.

Holy shit!

Oak was the man.

I heard the interview...He doesn't sound like he has seen the team this year...He said the Knicks doesn't play D...He says we don't rebound..He was pumping up Boston, says they would have contended with Jeff Green...Can't worry about these cats...When does BD take the court...

Funny thing, after Boston got beat by Dallas, Jason Terry said Rondo is the only one on the team with energy, the rest of the guys are old...Chuck loves them..

Barkley, last season, said that the Knicks would not make the playoffs and yet the Nets would. He said the Nets were a better team. Smh.

Man Oakley is the NBA's Chuck Norris..Legendary Bad Man.

Those Knicks Teams were Bullies..Love it!

Didn't they play a clip from an old game last night where the Knicks swept Philly from the playoffs? Barkley missed the last shot to lose the game and the Knicks brought a real broom out onto the hardwood and celebrated with it....sweeping the floor :)

Yeah, I don't know what he was thinking all those years. I'm not agreeing with how harsh he was this year though. I still think this is about a 36-30 team.

Really? He's not talking about Jeff Green from Georgetown, is he?

Seriously. If that story with Barkley is true, forget it.

I thought Chuck was bad when he took Shaq down, but Oak doing him like this? Crazy.

Our defensive performance isn't as good as it seems, but we aren't a team that doesn't play defense anymore. It has improved a lot and we are actually somewhat good at it, for the most part. However, if us and the Knicks want Chuck to shut his yap and eat crow, then it's simple. Continue playing defense and improving at it, rebound the dang ball (It seems like we are doing better at it) and start taking smarter shots. This goes to Amar'e, Melo, Shump, Douglas AND Fields. All 5 are guilty of taking bad shots.
