JYD Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Knicks win 134-118Lol. I guess you haven't watched the Knicks this year. No way we can eclipse 100 points. Not even against the local High School's JV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Next Knick Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I love Nash, and I love seeing him play. Please reel him in D'antoni. Sweet talk him, do SOMETHING... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Melo and Amar'e are a combined 10-40.. KEEP FIRING, BOYS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Meanwhile, Shumpert has hit 4 straight for 10 points in about 2 minutes, trying his best to keep us in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYD Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) This team is bad. Major problems. Their role players are HORRIBLE, their backcourt play is probably the worst I've seen out of a professional team. And their defensive schemes...Don't even get me started.

Cleveland's Finest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Beginning to think Amare/Melo isn't a good combo...had too high expectations of them, picking them as champs...yikes my bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Beginning to think Amare/Melo isn't a good combo...had too high expectations of them, picking them as champs...yikes my bad.Well, that was just stupid. I never thought this was a championship team, but I did think they were a 4-5 team in the East. I'm starting to think they may not make the playoffs. Plenty of time to turn it around, absolutely, but this team has so many major flaws. They consistently can't score. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted January 19, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 The Knicks could have had a team like the Denver Nuggets. SMH. But, won't say I expected all of this. I figured they would be pretty good with Melo and Amare. Takes a real team to contend, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Amar'e needs to stop dominating the ball (he has absolutely no moves to the basket out of his faceup, and instead tries to bullrush and force shots to draw fouls.. only he isn't getting them called). He needs to play down low, slash to the basket, pick & roll, move the ball, and shoot if he's open. Newsflash, big guy.. what you've been doing hasn't worked, at all. Your iso plays have been killing us. Adjust. Melo, if you're off.. pass the ball. Wrist hurts? Pass the ball. Double teamed with an open teammate? ..pass the ball. This double iso bullshit doesn't work when neither of you are capable of scoring efficiently. The offense worked best tonight when there was a lot of movement and passing. Then, one of the two head honchos would take the ball, hold it for 10 seconds, make an ineffective move, and brick a jumper that sent Phoenix on a fast break in the other direction. Really, really tired of the nonsense. As Alan Hahn put it, the Knicks are a race car without a steering wheel or a driver. When I have wet dreams at night, they're centered around James Dolan staying the [expletive] out of Donnie Walsh's way last season and allowing the guy to do his job. This is a mess.

Nitro Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 He needs to play down low, slash to the basket, pick & roll, move the ball, and shoot if he's open. That's the issue...who's going to run the PnR with him? Shumpert is constantly thinking shoot-first, as is Douglas, as is Melo. Fields doesn't have the vision or ability to make it work, either. Without a good, willing passer, Amare iso's is what you'll constantly get. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't gain 20+ pounds in the offseason, which I knew from the first preseason game against the Nets was a bad idea, especially since he moved back over to PF. Now he is lacking the quickness to get past defenders, and his shooting has been the worse I've seen it since 04-05. Overall, it's an ugly combo and he's just looked awful this season.

Dash Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Carmelo held to 5-22 shooting. Grant Hill still got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
