I can't watch the game until Sunday due to being away on a training course- I know there's not a hope in hell of me resisting peaking at the score before then!
Worryingly, Bargs seems to have lead the team in having the worst or second to worse +\- in the games he's played in so far. What worries me more is I think Bonn1997 said that was the case for much of his stint with the raptors. If he's in the starting lineup, likely we'll start off poorly then maybe go on a run once he goes to the bench.
I do want Bargs to have a good impact with the Knicks so I hope this isn't true.
Not sure whats going on with Beno- looked slow and depressed first few preseason games, then looked lively and great the last few. Then seemed to revert back to depressed and slow in last nights game. Maybe I should offer him and Bargs some counseling, they both look like they've been toiling away in a Soviet gulag for 20 years when they're on the court!
I really hope Woodson abandons this amare/kmart every other game thing. Kmart is way too important to our success to only play every other game. With Amare you know whatever minutes he plays he's going to be the center of this offense. If he plays every other game how will the team develop an identity and gameplan when every other fricking night they are changing their offense back and forth. And 15 mins every other night is the equivalent of 7.5 minutes a game. If a guy can only play 7.5 minutes a game then he might as well not play in my opinion. It seems to me this strategy with amare will be more destructive than helpful.

Buzzfeed gif made from the promo:
Woodson cannot catch a break with so many already predicting his firing.
Interesting new angle on this seasons' promotion strategy. They have been playing with manipulated videos previously, but this takes the concept to a whole new level.
Its also interesting to see what is expected for this season: OKC getting revenge on Miami, the Clippers overshadowing the Lakers, Kobe retiring, etc. Judging by the promo, I guess the only teams with title aspirations are the Heat, Nets, Bulls, Warriors, Thunder and Clippers.
Thanks for the ever-present love for the Knicks, who can only et turmoil predicted ad we will supposedly ask for Phil to take the sidelines and argue with Melo, both probably mad because Derrick Rose is predicted to torch us with 70 points.
Nice...
The day we are favorites in something will really feel weird.
WHAT QTR WILL SHUMP STRIP ROSE TONIGHT ?
WHEN HE DOES IT EVERYBODY SAY "shump" "shump"
O lord, I fear every time we play the Bulls. We seem to end up always having a meltdown.
Did u see Melo's pass to chandler? Nice.

Did not call anything just stating a fact. We got beat every time last year.

not really. Only Metta forced a shot
Woodson gave Metta the green light that's gonna be a problem. He needs to play within the game.

Melo had one of his ridiculous chuck-ups as well. They're not waiting for the best opportunity, they're settling for "okay" looks.
is it me or is Rose complaining more than Tyson or Felton does about calls?
Do we even attempt to defend on fast breaks or do we just watch?
