ECN when he found out the news: http://arch.413chan.net/Randy_Marsh_Jizz-(n1297311504658).jpg

I think that we have now no choice : we have to get rid of either Melo or D'Antoni. As a matter of fact it is now clear that Melo and D'Antoni are just totally incompatible. Which is not surprising as D'Antoni is all about full court offense and quick shots while Melo prefers half court offense and isos (like most superstars anyhow). If we wanna win one of them has to go. And if I owned the Knicks I would definitely get rid of D'Antoni. I've been thinking that for quite a while now, and I haven't changed my mind even during the Linsanity thing. It's simple let's see what would happen if we'd get rid of Melo : D'Antoni's system could work almost to perfection again thanks to players like Stat and Lin who's a Nash like PG (but certainly not as good as Nash YET..). And we could become, with time, a Suns like team, a team with a lot of offense, quick shots but with also no defense and no half court offense. So we certainly would improve drastically and could a top NBA team again but with no defense and no half court offense I doubt that we could ever get a ring. Now what would happen if we'd get rid of D'Antoni : well it depends on what kind of coach we would get of course. But I hope that we would get a defensive minded coach this time. No matter what I don't think we could get a worse coach than Mike.. Cause honestly I've defended him a lot but now I'm just tired of this guy. I have some respect for his system and the success that he had in the past, I give credit when credit is due but he has a lot of major flaws nonetheless. Besides his system D'Antoni has nothing to bring on the table. He's terrible at adjustments and is just like Mike Brown in the money time, he tells his star to get the ball and do something with it and that's it. That's not what you want from a real NBA HEAD coach. And it is definitely clear that he doesn't belong in NY. At least for me. And with a real head coach, a coach who knows about defense, half court offense and how to create a real chemistry between his players, I am 100% sure that our team could become a REAL contender just as it is now. Melo is not the problem. Quite the opposite we NEED players like Melo to win games. Isolation is not always a negative thing. Everyone who watched the Jordan Bulls know that there was no triangle at the end of games, it was all about "give the ball to Michael" (except that Jax would CREATE something for Michael and not tell him "get the ball and do something" like D'Antoni...). Same thing with all the greatest superstars, the greatest leaders, like Bird, Kobe, Duncan, etc... You NEED isos in the NBA. Not too much isos, definitely not, but you need some at times, there is no doubt about it. So I have no doubt that the team would improve drastically without Melo but we would have no chance to win a ring without him. We would have lost our leader and you cannot win in the NBA without a true leader, a true superstar. That's what we saw in Phoenix anyhow (neither Nash or Star are what I would call a real leader). A player that can carry his team on his shoulders when it needs it the most. A player that knows how to be collective of course but also knows to use iso. Actually a player who knows WHEN to be collective and when to use iso. Which is why I HIGHLY disagree with the people who think that the Nuggets won the trade last year... Cause as good as they are now they also have 0 chance to win without a leader. And it's hard to get real leaders today in the NBA... We have that player now. So even if we're not playing very well now we are nonetheless WAY much closer to a ring than the Nuggets. As weird as it might seem. So for all these reasons I would get rid of D'Antoni right now. Personally I would love to get Riley back to NY but... I know that it'll never happen. Phil said he doesn't want to get back but we never know... In the mean time, if I owned the Knicks, I'd offer Jeff Van Gundy the coach job. He's my second fav Knicks coach ever and I would love to see him back. Or Ewing actually, why not ? He played for both Riley and Vun Gundy, he deserves a chance as a head coach, and it would be a great way to show him our gratitude for all the great years he offered us as a player, after all he is the best Knicks of All Time. Besides I clearly remember that we started to suck right after we traded Ewing in 2000 and Shaq said at the time : "this is what happens when you trade a legend"... So maybe we need our legend back to start winning again.

So with the conference tournaments wrapping up yesterday, here is the 2nd of what should be 5 versions of my mock. Just a quick FYI, I am using my judgement on who I think will enter the draft. So even though guys like Andre Drummond, Cody Zeller and Michael Kidd-Girlchrist have hinted at staying another year, I am including them because I believe they will enter (although Zeller wouldn't surprise me if he stayed). On the other hand, I am not including guys like Austin Rivers or James Michael McAdoo because I don't believe either will enter despite obvious first round talent. Some players, such as Fab Melo, Doron Lamb, Dion Waiters, Myck Kabongo and CJ Leslie I have no idea about, so I'm just going to include them. Also, unlike last time I am going to take all trades into consideration. Last time I left teams like Dallas, LA Clippers, etc.. with their own picks but this time I'll transfer them over to their rightful owners. I forgot to do that last time, so I apologize for that. Other than that, I'm following the same guidelines as my first edition. So with that said, here we go: 1. Charlotte Bobcats: PF Anthony Davis, Freshman, Kentucky Davis is going to go first overall regardless of who is picking first come June 28th. He possesses the rare combination of size and skill combined with elite athleticism, length and motor. Towards the end of the SEC regular season Davis was given a more promminent roll in Kentucky's offense and took full advantage showing a much more refined offensive game than originally thought, which only further cemented his status as the best prospect in this draft class. 2. Washington Wizards: SF Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Feshman, Kentucky UNC small forward Harrison Barnes is another possibility with this pick, but he has struggled down the stretch and it has resulted in many people ranking MKG as the better small foward prospect. A strong tournament from Barnes can just as easily elevate himself back into this position. As for Kidd-Gilchrist, he gives the Wizards the huge character boost that they need. He has elite defensive potential and projects to be one of the league's premier perimeter defenders for years to come. He is also a great rebounder from the small forward spot, has a relentless motor, is a fantastic leader and gives this Wizards team a toughness that they desperately need. His offense is still inconsistent and that may be worrisome given that if he is never able to put it together on that end of the floor, Washington will likely have used a 2nd overall pick on a role player, possibly the best role player in the league, but still a role player. However, given his passion for the game and awesome work ethic, he should develop into a reliable offensive option. 3. New Orleans Hornets: PF/C Andre Drummond, Conneticut, Freshman Drummond has continued to battle inconsistency problems and has not lived up to the expectations he had coming out of high school. However, he still has elite physical tools and athleticism and he has shown glimpses of how dominant he can be when he puts it all together. With the Hornets being completely devoid of talent, Drummond's potential is simply too much to pass up. If they are able to re-sign Eric Gordon in the summer, him and Drummond have the potential to be the most formidable inside-out duo in the league. 4. Toronto Raptors: SF Harrison Barnes, North Carolina, Sophomore Barnes hasn't lived up to expectations this year after deciding to comeback for his sophomore season. He has shown glimpses here and there of his talent, but he hasn't dominated like scouts expected of him. He has a lethal jumper, is a solid defender and rebounder, but he goes through stretches where he disappears and doesn't show the assertiveness that you would want in a number one option. Despite that, he has the size, shooting ability and basketball IQ that you want in a small forward and should make for a solid pro. If he ever manages to put it all together and become the player many expected him to be coming out of high school, he could become a top player in the league. A strong tournament run will likely see Barnes vault himself back into the discussion for the 2nd pick. 5. New Jersey Nets: PF Jared Sullinger, Ohio State, Sophomore Sullinger is the best low post scorer in the draft, but what has impressed people most about him this season is the development of his outside game. He has added a reliable mid range jumper to his game and has also shown the ability to step outside and make the occasional college three. His bread and butter will always be his ability to score in the post and wreak havoc on the glass. There are concerns about his size and therefore his ability to defend opposing bigs at the next level, which may prompt a team to go with Kansas' Thomas Robinson instead, but Sullinger's refined post game could make him a forimidable low post presence that you can run an offense through and that may be too much for teams to pass up. 6. Sacramento Kings: PF Thomas Robinson, Kansas, Junior Robinson is a high energy big man who has a very high motor, great athleticism and strength. He is experiencing a breakthrough season as the focal point of the Jayhawks team. He has shown much more skill offensively than originally thought and has continued to show a strong presence on the glass. With high usage players such as DeMarcus Cousins, Tyreke Evans and Marcus Thronton on the roster, the Kings need a guy who can bridge the talent and do the dirty work. Robinson and Cousins would combine to be one of the best rebounding duos in the game and would both be a load down low for opposing teams. 7. Detroit Pistons: PF John Henson, North Carolina, Junior May be a bit of a reach here and many people will point to Indiana's Cody Zeller as being the player that Detroit should take, but pairing Hensons' defense with Monroe's excellent offensive game makes them a perfect compliment for each other. Henson has shown elite shot blocking skill during his time at UNC and is a two time ACC Defensive Player of the Year. He led the conference in both rebounding and shot blocking this year. His offense isn't anything special, but he has shown a strong left handed hook shot and is a strong finisher around the rim with his length and athleticism. Pairing him with Monroe and last years lottery pick Brandon Knight gives the Pistons a nice compliment of offense, shooting, defense and length. 8. Cleveland Cavaliers: SG Bradley Beal, Florida, Freshman Beal is just a very well rounded player. He is arguably the best rebounding guard in all of college basketball, has a strong jumper, can handle the ball, has solid athleticism and a good feel for the game. He has struggled at times throughout the season as he is stuck out of position with the Gators and at times is forgotten in the offense which has resulted in him forcing shots or drives to compensate. There are concerns about his size, but his long wingspan should make up for it, should he measure under 6'4. Over the past month, Beal has established himself as the best shooting guard in this class and with the Cavs locked in at the 1, 4 and 5, Beal makes perfect sense to grow with fellow last years lottery picks Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson. 9. Milwaukee Bucks: PF Cody Zeller, Indiana, Freshman Zeller has burst onto the scene this year by leading Indiana to wins over powerhouses such as Kentucky and Ohio St. He is the Hoosier's leading scorer and has a nice feel around the basket. He runs the floor very well, is a high efficiency player who always plays within his limits and doesn't force his game. He has solid athleticism but will never blow you away with a highly athletic play, but rather will beat you with his skill set. He would rather go around you than through you as he utilizes fakes very well to keep the defense off guard. Zeller will certainly have a long, successfull career regardless of if he declares this year or not. 10. Utah Jazz (From Golden State): SG Jeremy Lamb, Conneticut, Sophomore Like the rest of the Huskies, Lamb has struggled with erratic and inconsistent play this season. There are times he looks like a future number one option and there are other moments where you don't even notice him on the floor. He is very good at using screens to free himself up for open jumpers but he isn't limited to being just an off the ball scorer. While he doesn't have a great handle, he does have the ability to break his man down off of the bounce with a strong crossover. He doesn't have great size at the shooting guard position as he is just 6'5, but he has tremendous length with a wingspan that is around 7 feet long. This length makes him able to rise over defenders to shoot, allows him to contest shots and play the passing lanes really well. 11. Utah Jazz: PG Damian Lillard, Weber State, Junior Lillard exploded onto the scene this year with a superb junior season playing for the relatively unknown Weber State. He is one of the most explosive scorers in the country who can beat you both inside, outside and off the dribble. He had the 2nd best PER among any college player this year, trailing only future first overall pick Anthony Davis. There are concerns about his playmaking, vision and whether he is a true point guard. He played for a small school in a small conference which makes some people hesitant about him as well. Is he really this good or did he benefit from playing weak competition? These are both valid concerns, but at the end of the day Lillard is a talented basketball player and the best point guard prospect in this draft. 12. Phoenix Suns: PF Perry Jones III, Baylor, Sophomore Jones may be the most natrually gifted player in this draft. He has great size, length, athleticism and skill. On paper, Jones is a top 3 pick in this draft. However, he has been a huge disappointment this season. He becomes invisible for extended periods of time. We aren't talking just minute to minute here, but game by game. During Baylor's final handful of conference games Jones averaged less than 10 points a game and was a complete non factor. He did bounce back in the Big 12 tournament with a dominant performance against Kansas St and two solid performances against Kansas and Missouri. If he has a strong showing in the NCAA Tournament he will see his stock soar back into the discussion for a top 5 pick. However, if he has another disappearing act he just may find himself slip further and further down the draft board. With his talent, expect somebody to take a chance on him with a late lottery pick at the very least, probably even earlier. 13. Portland Trailblazers: C Tyler Zeller, North Carolina, Senior Zeller runs the floor as well as any big man in the country. He has a strong hook shot with both his right and left hand. He is a very good free throw shooter for a big man and he is also a strong positional rebounder. Much like his younger brother, Zeller won't overwhelm you with his physical attributes. He is just a fundamentally sound basketball player and will have a long, successfull career because of it. He will never be an All-Star or win any major award but he will be a permanent fixture on contending teams. 14. New Orleans Hornets (From Minnesota): SF Quincy Miller, Baylor, Freshman Miller hasn't had the season expected with the Bears. Whether it is because of lingering problems with his knee injury he suffered his season year of high school, not fitting in with the Baylor offense or just needing time to adjust to the college game, he has had an up and down season. One game he will look like the Kevin Durant-lite player many people projected him to be coming out of high school and the next game he will barely have an impact at all. He has a smooth shooting stroke and can play both inside and out. He is capable of creating his own shot, although he may struggle at the next level if he is never able to regain his athleticism that he lost after blowing out his knee. 15. Houston Rockets (From New York): SF Moe Harkless, St. John's, Freshman 16. New Jersey Nets (From Houston): SG/SF Terrence Ross, Washington, Sophomore 17. Boston Celtics: C Meyers Leonard, Illinois, Sophomore 18. Los Angeles Lakers (From Dallas): PG Kendall Marshall, North Carolina, Sophomore 19. Denver Nuggets: SF/PF Terrence Jones, Kentucky, Sophomore 20. Atlanta Hawks: PF Arnett Moultrie, Mississippi State, Junior 21. Boston Celtics (from LA Clippers): SF Jeff Taylor, Vanderbilt, Senior 22. Indiana Pacers: PG Myck Kabongo, Texas, Freshman 23. Philadelphia 76ers: PF/C Patric Young, Florida, Sophomore 24. Memphis Grizzlies: PG/SG Tony Wroten, Washington, Freshman 25. Los Angeles Lakers: SG Dion Waiters, Syracuse, Sophomore 26. Orlando Magic: SF/PF Tony Mitchell, North Texas, Freshman 27. San Antonio Spurs: SF/PF CJ Leslie, NC State, Sophomore 28. Miami Heat: C Joshua Smith, UCLA, Sophomore 29. Oklahoma City Thunder: C Fab Melo, Syracuse, Sophomore 30. Chicago Bulls: SG Doron Lamb, Kentucky, Sophomore

Can I videotape my response?

Supposedly the emo teens consented to the stoning in an extreme case of self-harm. Kids are getting really inventive with suicide nowadays.

Pretty neat video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBJNh1-MsTM

Let me explain this to you for the thirtieth time, but this time through an analogy, because otherwise you're going to fail miserably in comprehending it like all the other times I've tried. The pen is invented. The pen is used for its intended function over an extended period of time, being continuously manufactured and distributed and used properly. Suddenly, a group of corrupt individuals either a) discover the pen and decide to use it as a weapon or b) want to do damage and come across the pen as a way of fulfilling that will. Whether it's the first or the second circumstance, is that really the inventor's fault? True Islam has nothing, NOTHING, to do with the morons that are causing havoc in the world. It's not extremism. It's stupidity.

The Clippers are far and away the least likable team in the NBA. They have the two biggest floppers in the league, and THE biggest whiner in the league. Blake Griffin is the worst though. That chump never stops complaining and flopping like a coward.

Too many to name. T-Mac's 13 points in 35 minutes was insane but I like these moments more since they actually meant something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnIy_NhcDFg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXOts9kaiLQ All of Game 1 of the 1995 Finals vs Orlando was a great moment too.

He'd get halfway, roll his ankle and be sidelined for the next 3 months.

One less CB on the market: New York Giants reached agreement with cornerback Terrell Thomas. Yesssssssssssss

Of course, because he's the perfect PG to build around. :wallbash3:

...and now they say he is fine. I'm surprised...figured he was really, really hurt. Newsflash: he did not come back out in a wheelchair.

At first it was just the Hot Grirls Thread, but now the Random thread too supposedly had a virus or somethnig on it. When i try to go to the last page of either of these threads, a big red message comes up on my google chrome saying i better not go on there because theres a virus from www.missexpose.com If you could try to fix this some how, it would be great. Thanks Brandon.

Fire Mike D'Antoni when the season is over as the Knicks miss the playoffs and you go balls out for Phil Jackson and make minor moves or get a potential All Star PG like Tyreke Evans to improve the roster. Melo + Amar'e ain't working. In the offseason the franchise is going to have to make a decision to build around Carmelo or Amar'e. Preferably I chose Carmelo to build my franchise around. And if possible I really ain't digging Jeremy Lin maybe it's due to ESPN that first two week giving this kid the biggest blow job I've seen up there where it felt like I was being force to believe he is a superstar. With that being said you go out and get a serviceable point guard that is young and example would be like Tyreke Evans since he is on the block even today Evans is on the block. Those would be my consideration on what to do with the Knicks if I was the owner.

Charlotte finishes the 3rd on a 10-0 run to take a 6 point lead into the 4th. I honestly have no idea why I am even watching this game. Just terrible basketball, haha.

Oh, I must have never mentioned the media's obsession with exploring the Qur'an and thinking they're qualified to interpret random verses when 1) they're completely out of context and 2) when they're translated, interfering with the meaning of the verses. Link
