New York at Chicago


Real Deal

New York is doing a nice job on preventing Rose from turning the corner off of picks and holding him to very poor shooting numbers.

 

It has led to some free throws for Gibson off the roll.

 

Tough call on Lin there. I do find it funny how refs were told to stop calling those pump and jump fouls, and they have for guys like Kevin Martin (who made a living off of those), but guys like Rose and Durant still seem to always get the call.

It's hard to believe a team with Carmelo, Amare, and Tyson just lost its sixth game in a row.

 

Something needs to be fixed. I don't think they should make a trade though. This season has had enough changes in a short span given the recent addition of JR, and the emergence of Novak, Shumpert, and Lin.

Haha, Amar'e is pissed..

 

Q: You were scoring very well in the 3rd, what were you doing that fueled that in the 3rd quarter?

 

A: The ball was coming to me. I was ready for it from the 1st quarter.. prepared to have a phenomenal game from the start. But the ball only came to me in that 3rd quarter, not the other quarters.. so I can only do so much.

How about getting a [expletive]ing rebound in the 4th? Maybe it'd come to you then.

 

The lack of rebounding is brutal, especially in this game. Despite the efficient shooting night, STAT hasn't rebounded in 10 years, he won't do it now. Hasn't play defense, either, and he won't do it now.

 

Melo was ok...I just think tonight was a prime example of losing to a team better than them. I mean, that's really a lot of what has happened as well...the Knicks are not as good as Dallas, San Antonio, Boston, and Chicago...definitely not on the road.

 

No trades are needed, and it's not the coaches fault. The players are not performing to their ability. I'm trying to remain patient, but at some point it becomes tough. The Knicks don't have much time - I think this is the last week for MDA and the team this season. If they can't muster 2 out of the next 3, I honestly don't think they will make the playoffs. The rest of March's schedule is pretty tough.

 

April is not any easier. I see only about 4 games out of 13 that I'm positive the Knicks should win.

 

I could realistically see the Knicks losing 15 of the last 24 games...

^^ I don't blame him. They should trade Melo for Iggy/filler. They'd be a better team.

The entire trade for this guy trade for that needs to stop. Legacies are on the line - Melo and Amar'e wanted to come here. They will succeed/fail (define success/failure)...you're not going to trade them based on 50 games, or a six game losing streak.

 

Right now, it looks like the odds are against them. It seems as though you are right, they are not a cohesive fit, for many obvious reasons...but you can't quit on them yet. This could either get a lot better, or it could get a lot worse, before one of the two, or both, are gone.
