I wonder who will get to take this last shot...Melo or Lin? Money's on Melo, but Boston may just deny him the ball.

Wow, this game is good. Pierce ties it up with a 3.

Melo's earning his paycheck now. Knicks up by 1.

Lin's pulling a Tebow. Horrible for first 4/5 of game, but during crunch time, he's brought the Knicks back to within 1.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) I actually really like this thread. It tends to go off topic quite a bit, but some of the topics are interesting (like the Jordan in today's era thing). I feel bad for posters like Felix and J4L because they voice their opinions pretty strongly and those opinions aren't popular around here. I think a problem with J4L is that he doesn't back up his opinions (some of which are already really hard to believe) with concrete evidence. Felix does a pretty good job with that usually. By the way, as someone who lurks for the most part (and have been doing so for many years), I think it was clear as day that posters are just joking around with J4L. I don't think SS2k5s post was malicious at all. Some people don't like J4L because he likes talking in absolutes and has an unpopular opinion. And Felix...well he just trolls for entertainment.

UNOFFICIAL b****ES.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 02:40 PM) Extremely false, no matter how many times you repeat it. I was just a young teenager when they were winning 13 games a season and still watched as many games as I could. I watched every single draft. s***, I watched all their summer league games. I didn't watch their summer league games, but I did actually watch the Bulls when they were god awful, quite frequently too. The thought of them having a slight chance to win was enough for me to watch. But then again, I was like 10 years old back then and I had nothing better to do.

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 12:42 PM) I don't think that's Derrick Rose. You just don't like admitting that DRose has mad skillz. Yeah that's probably not him.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 01:35 AM) I agree. Non-asians, especially whites, should dictate whether something is offensive towards asians or not... How do you know that I'm white?

lol LeBron choke.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 08:30 PM) So, which players got into a battle on twitter This.

Looks like Derrick decided to show up for the second half.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 09:31 AM) Great post and excellent point about giving KW credit for knowing when to cut Bobby loose. Everybody except Greg knew when to cut Bobby loose. He was bad in 2010 and didn't deserve $12 million.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 01:58 PM) Really... is that really racist? I honestly don't see how that is racist. Maybe all Chinese restaurants should stop giving away fortune cookies too.

Damn, Dunn looks like he could actually play the OF again (not well, just not horribly).

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 23, 2012 -> 04:15 PM) Really curious to hear the details of this. Right now it looks like another MLB coverup to save its image. Sounds like it. MVP suspended for steroids sounds like a really really bad headline.

The Knicks are just murdering the Hawks. Lin with 13/4 already.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 22, 2012 -> 01:32 PM) JEREMY LIN I'm surprised that Rondo got to go despite getting suspended and all. But he definitely deserves it, he's played pretty well this year.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Feb 20, 2012 -> 09:11 PM) As nice a run that Lin has had, he shouldn't be taking more shots than Amar'e or Melo. He wasn't horribly inefficient today though. Carmelo didn't deserve to take more shots. He didn't shoot it well AND turned the ball over 6 times (horrible for a guy who doesn't handle the ball all the time).

So yeah, Carmelo was awful and the Knicks lost. Jeremy Lin actually didn't turn the ball over and had a decent all-around game with 21/9/7. Let the Melo vs. Lin battles begin!

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 19, 2012 -> 10:27 PM) Rumors of a Boozer for Gasol type deal circulating. 2 good to be true. Why the hell would the Lakers do that...? Other than them trying to lure Howard with one of his best buddies?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 19, 2012 -> 03:12 PM) Without looking at numbers, I'd say D'Antoni's teams historically have trouble against strong halfcourt teams, i.e., the ones you find in the playoffs. They put up great regular season numbers, but the playoffs have a different focus to them. Yeah, which is why D'Antoni's teams never got past the conference finals, even when he had Nash, Amare, Joe Johnson, and Marion (when he was still pretty good).

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Feb 19, 2012 -> 02:47 PM) You take what the defense gives you? Next week we'll see how the Knicks fare against Miami, but it seems we are trying to downplay what the Lin led Knicks offense has done by saying "they haven't faced a real D yet", but the Knicks just beat the champs and Lin had a nice game except for the 7 TOs...28 pts, +50% fg, 14 asts, 4 rebs... I'm not saying it will happen but if Lin plays well against Miami, you might have people saying, "I bet he wouldn't do that vs the 1989 Detroit Pistons team"... I think we are seeing a backlash on all the Lin hype but the kid keeps proving the naysayers wrong...I think he's legit, will he regress?I think he will because he's putting up All Star stats and that can't continue, can it? He'll regress. He's shooting 50% from the floor right now and some of those shots are 3s and long 2s. Even some of the best perimeter shooters can't sustain those kind of numbers. But he's gotta offset that regression with less turnovers. I felt like Dallas did a great job containing Lin and the Knicks at times. The Knicks offense looked extremely stagnant for the better part of the second half and Lin was caught just dribbling the clock down since they were trapping him and closing off driving lanes. But Lin did what you said, he took what the defense gave him. Of course, it didn't hurt that Novak was on fire. We'll see how all of this works when Carmelo's back tomorrow or sometime next week, but from what I saw, JR Smith is really bad for this team. He took a bunch of crappy shots and held on to the ball a bit too long. Ball movement really slowed down when he was in the game, I thought.
