the cool thing is the Magic play an hour ahead so the Knicks need to be in the range of -10 to +10 by the 4th. Hopefully up by 10 because if the magic win you can rest the starters in the 4th and rest them the next night too. JMHO.

I can't stand the LA Floppers, they're an absolute joke. Here are some of their highlights:
I can't stand this kind of c***! Factor in their coach and his habit of jumping out at 3pt shooters, trying to distract them and you have the lamest team in the league...

I think Miami is more vulnerable than the Bulls.
It would make me sick to watch if we lose but they are more susceptible to injury and mentally fragile.

I don't have a problem with what was said. In my opinion it wasn't a "Clips will win because they are better" but, more of a, Knicks positioning themselves for the most favorable match-up.

doesnt Wade have a broken finger? A Wade who cant shoot is a positive
Bonn1997@ 4/25/2012 8:57 AM
I think dislocated finger. That's a good point.

I would agree however.... the Bulls are a better matchup. Rose is a monster but he never seems to play. Assuming he's 100% for playoffs I would take the Bulls for a few reasons.
1) the have problems scoring at times. The Knicks play, or can play drag it out thug defense. If all these games are low scoring or go down to the wire I like the Knicks ability to finish in crunch time and get baskets with Melo/Diddy/Stat as scoring options.
If you want the other reasons you will have to pay me as that is premium content

I don't see BDiddy as the third scoring option, and doubt he'll even be in there at crunch time (i.e., lame D). Novak/Smith are the third options in crunch time.

Why do dudes hate on Griffin? The guy gets hacked and doesn't get called so what do you want him to do. He is just selling the call. Plus he plays more defense than Amare and actually has post moves.

It's stupid and dishonest and it makes guys look like sissies. That goes to all people who flop. However, the officials are even worse for calling that crap. They make themselves look like WWE referees when you see guys throw themselves to the floor at the slightest contact and they get the calls. It makes the game look like it lacks A LOT of integrity. Yeah, you can say "He's just selling it" but an end needs to be put to it. That goes for any players on the Knicks who do it and I'm sure Jared flops all the time when he takes charges.

I know this video isnt about the clippers but this has to be seen. Singleton gets the nomination for this flop from 2 days ago. His flop acting was so good he got the other player ejected from the game.
Seriously though, Jeff Van Gundy was right when he said flopping was destroying the game of basketball. Defense now a days is just lining up somewhere like a bowling pin and waiting to be knocked over. Its pretty aweful if you compare it to the way defense was played in the old NBA.

Mike Smith, Clippers Broadcaster post game after his Clippers had just lost to Hawks said that this game against the Knicks is a MUST WIN for the Clippers.
He said that the Clippers have more at stake to win this game.
He said the Knicks have nothing to play for because if we win we face Miami, if we lose we face Bulls, and since we haven't done well against both teams, that we would rather face the Bulls.

Wasn't this the original post? Where did it go?

Check this out
This was just ONE game.
All those FLOPS happened in just 1 game.

At this point, I'd rather face the Heat. Injured Wade, LBJ who I suspect will go on cruise control once he wins league MVP, and Bosh. I know Rose hasn't been much this season, but I'm worried that he will come out with something to prove in the playoffs.
