And I will continue to maintain I rather have Melo than Marbury, I mean Deron Williams

Hey now. Deron Williams has been overrated for pretty much his entire career but calling him Marbury is a low blow.

Wait... Dinglebury actually takes and makes game winning shots. Is it a low blow to Dinglebury or Deron?

None that I can remember. He also writes "All alone" on his sneakers while pouting on the bench and eats vaseline.

You sure? Not in phx or minny?

He probably has at some point, I just can't remember any. I do remember the second Knicks game I ever went to, and the first since I was a little kid. It was back during the rookie years of Lee, Nate, and Frye. We were playing the Sonics and Marbury was at the line at the end of the game with a chance to tie and send us into overtime and he missed the second free throw. The other thing that happened that game was my hatred for Jared Jeffries was solidified forever. He went to the line like, 12 times and hit 2 free throws in a game we lost by 1. Let's stop talking about this because it's making me sad and angry.

I think it might be the whole team?

Good thing there was no Bropez and BK can't hold leads.

I agree. Don't like such a bad start and having to climb back to win. It gives the other team confidence and then you have a tougher fight to close the game out. That kind of stuff will come back and bite you.

Damn man there are other players on this team

I talk up all of our players from Felton, J.R, Kidd, Chandler, Novak etc, etc I support them all; but on this night? Melo's 45 points, 5 boards and 3 assists off 5/7 from 3 was huge tonight. Kidd came up clutch, but Melo stole the show.

I'll just wait for the TS% report to tell me who had a good and who didn't.

Ah I see. When the Knicks win, statistics are invalidated as a means of evaluating players. Logical.

Especially in the playoffs. You can get away with shit like this in the regular season against the likes of Brooklyn, Charlotte, Orlando but when we're playing Miami, Boston, Chicago in a best of 7 we clearly can't afford to.

Lucky for Brooklyn there was no Stoudemire, no Camby, an injured JR Smith, no Shump, no Kurt Thomas (DNP), an injured Raymond Felton and not more Knicks fans at Barclay's raising holy hell.

And although it seemingly wasn't a problem, Melo still had his finger taped up :D

Luck for BK at this point will be making it out of the first round - provided they don't continue slip-slidin' away and wind up in the lottery.

This was a great win but nets are hard to handle with their size. With a healthy bropez they are a hard out in the playoffs.

Melo and Kidd were outrageous. Can't get sick of watching Kidd play. So smart. Felton needs to get healthy. He's playing like crap.

Nets defended Chandler and the PnR very well. We need to learn from that.

Excellent win. 16-5. Unreal.
