Knicks Game Thread- @ Sacramento

by Tommy Dee on November 25th, 2009 at 9:28 pm

Game Time: 10 pm
@ Sacramento

Eddy Curry is trying to play hurt, which may limit any momentum that Jordan Hill had last night. It will be interesting to see how Tyreke Evans plays against the Knicks, seeing that his size could be a real problem for the Knicks guards.

The Knicks played one of their best game of the year last season in Sac-town winning 114-90 behind Al Harrington‘s 33.

  • totti

    In a back to back toronto got a punch in the face in charlotte minutes ago; let’s see if knicks can avoid another bad loss in a back to back too. Go knicks, kings by 18 i’m afraid

  • JASONHAYES

    I hope the knicks don’t let Tyreke Evans beat them. To lose to a rookie would be very very embarassing!

  • totti

    18pt difference only in the first quarter, i meant…They are…unwatchable?

  • Dave the Rave

    As expected, Curry’s out with a bad knee…..and on and on it goes. His trade value will be zero.

  • traps9

    I guess buying him out will be the only play. What a waste.

  • LJohnson2k8

    After watching him play against the Lakers. I noticed that the Lakers game planned by stripping the ball out of his hands everytime he got the ball. Then he hurt his knee and you can kiss his trade value goodbye. I guess Manners got his wish to keep Curry on the Knicks becuase thats where he will be unless the Knicks buy him out. On to the team they are in a dog fight early on with the Kings,I have the Knicks winning this game

  • JASONHAYES

    Knicks taking this game too lightly, they will lose like that. No one has their game faces on!

  • http://none knicks2win

    agree with 100%

  • http://none knicks2win

    ” HAPPY THANKSGIVING ” TO ALL

  • JASONHAYES

    For a point guard Duhon picks up his dribble too much, it gets him in trouble!

  • Nupe1911

    Jrue Holiday looked solid again in a start tonight. He looked good last night as well. Diving for loose balls and being an in your face pest as a defender. I know you have been watching that Tommy

  • JASONHAYES

    Don’t bee fooled by this team folks. They will never be consistent. They haven’t been for 2 years!

  • JASONHAYES

    Why is Duhon on Evans?

  • LJohnson2k8

    Well Jason I come to realize if I was a Rent A Knick and its only being human. You win a couple of games in a row against inferior teams which is saying something when our Knicks arent that much better, and almost and should have won against Boston and then instead of having or bringing that momentum to LA got their butts handed to them to the point Mike DA threw in the white flag and played the rooks. I think after all that I would be like to hell with it. What if I be the ultimate team player, sacrafice my stats for the betterment of the team and at the end of the year they dont resign me and other teams around the NBA see I played on an embarrassment of a team and on face value my stats dont add up to a starting role or big money contract then what? You may be like A.I. out of the NBA. I already see Nate going that route real fast. So I blame them but who and remember the money they make is normal while to us its a fantasy, will bust their ass while possibly giving up their livelihood down the line.

  • JASONHAYES

    No one looks focused tonight. They look dazed! Its a curse that Nate’s family is there, he’s not gonna pass the ball often.

  • JASONHAYES

    Did D’antoni say they slowed it down a bit? It’s been slow since he got here. Whats he talking about?

  • Mucha

    I’d much rather see Jordan Hill and Danilo Gallinari take 10-15 shots per game even if it means losing every game by 20.

    Gallo desperately needs some Red Bull though.

  • Knicks4life

    Nobody but Nate is even running hard. No defense. Terrible shots. Lee is playing ok too if you don’t count defense.

    I don’t even know what to say about the PG play.

  • JASONHAYES

    Can we sell this team? Maybe to seattle? I can wait until the nets move to Brooklyn.

  • bartnyk

    Wont happen until midseason when our record is completely horrible something like 5 and 45

  • Mucha

    Lee and Robinson are the only respectable players on the floor.

  • JASONHAYES

    Duhon should be kicked out the league, and told never to touch a basketball again!

  • JASONHAYES

    The Kings are OWNING the Knicks! Knicks are a disgrace, they’re soft and have no heart! They all have to go, including the rooks! I’m sorry. I’d rather have Allen Iverson out there taking every shot, scre these cowards.

  • JASONHAYES

    You buggin…..how are they respectable and their not helping the team win.

  • Knicks4life

    For those that didn’t want AI I hope you are happy with what you are seeing.

    I’m really searching for a positive and there are none. Even when they win they look bad to me.

    Can somebody please get them to stop shooting threes and drive the ball.

  • JASONHAYES

    Mike has lost this team’s ear, but no coach that comes here can help these losers. The players need to disappear, ALL OF THEM!

  • JASONHAYES

    Im with you! This season is a disaster! Utah will get a top three pick, and the Knicks will only win 18 games. No one to attract Free agents. I say the best the knicks come away with is Rudy Gay. What a horrible future!

  • Knicks4life

    I know Tommy and others will defend the system here but the Knicks have very good slashers in Douglas, Robinson, Hughes and Harrington, a spot up shooter in Gallo, and a couple of big mid range jump shooters like Darko, Hill, and Lee. Why is our offense predicated on ball movement on the perimeter and jacking up threes. Can we run some isolations, pick and rolls with people other than Duhon, and baseline screens for Gallo and Harrington off the ball? Is that really too much to ask? Are we seriously going to be forced to watch this crap for another 60+ games.

    The offense looked so much better with Curry posting up. Can we at least try to post up Gallo and Harrington when mismatches present themselves. Must we always jack up threes from Jeffries, Douglas, Hughes and Duhon who clearly can’t shoot them. What is the rationale for no AI, or Arroyo or J. WIliams (who is playing great by the way) over the summer?

    Ok rant over.

  • JASONHAYES

    I told you the Knicks are gonna pay for not signing A.I.

  • totti

    18 wins jason? you kidding

    ,

  • http://none knicks2win

    Knicks is down by 20 on 3rd quarter. They play awful. Turn tv off and go
    to sleep.

  • JASONHAYES

    They’re gonna pay for not doing anything. Not taking any chances! I say this is the worst roster the Knicks ever had.

  • JASONHAYES

    18 thats all I give them. 18!

  • totti

    18 wins is a mirage

  • Mucha

    They were playing well/hard at one point.

  • Knicks4life

    By the way Tommy you asked me a few threads ago if this team would be better with J. WIlliams, Pargo, or Arroyo leading them. The answer is undeniably yes. Even if not reflected in wins they would at least be more watchable and give D’Antoni a legitimate starting option while Duhon struggles like he is.

    Scratch that Duhon should never be starting anywhere anyway. You want to know why Gallo and Hill were draft mistakes? It has nothing to do with their being busts now or not. It is because the Knicks needed to draft a PG in two PG heavy drafts and just like the Hawks their drafts are continuously failures until they do.

  • JASONHAYES

    Apparently Coach D, agrees that they shoot too many threes but the players still do it. I don’t understand. I think Knicks need to go to a traditional inside, outside system. Scrap the playbook they have. Matter of fact dont read no plays, Knicks need to read the BIBLE. For real!!

  • jaknicksfan

    This Team is a Disgrace nobody has any Balls at all guys on the Kings just come down the court and Dunk start all the young guys and the hell with the vets they have no Guts and don’t play defense this team is getting me sick to my stomach watching. Unreal

  • JASONHAYES

    Knicks will be 10 or more games under 500. by Monday! Season is over folks!

  • JASONHAYES

    Knicks always make nobodies look like All-Stars. Its depressing!

  • Mucha

    Jared Jeffries can’t even catch the ball.

    I think he’s the worst player in the league, seriously. Even his headband is a disgrace.

  • Knicks4life

    Herb Williams needs to be fired or demoted. We have no defensive strategy at all. How about some halftime or end of quarter adjustments? Can we get a hand in somebody’s face?

  • pleasepleaseplease

    I really like the talent of our young guys (well, except Chandler) but the more I watch this mess the less I think that D’Antoni is the coach that can be trusted in developing them.

    No system, no authority, no trust, no anything.

    This team needs a houscleaning.

  • jaknicksfan

    The Better Question is Why Does Duhon Even Play in this League? What a Bum! Jeffries is worse and Harrington is a Ball hog and doesn’t play any defense. What a Shitty Team.

  • JASONHAYES

    ROOKS HAVE NO GUTS EITHER! THE WHOLE TEAM HAS TO GO. AND THE ROOKS SUCK ANYWAY. REAL TALK. NO MORE CANDY COATING. I KNOW SOMEONE GONNA SAY THEY NEED TO DEVELOP, BUT SCREW THAT. ALL THE OTHER ROOKS ARE LOOKING GOOD, OURS STINK. TD23 PLAYS GOOD D, BUT CANT MAKE A J. HIS FOLLOW THROUGH IS NASTY. JORDAN HILL IS UNSTABLE AND DUFFY ON HIS FEET. TRADE THE ORGANIZATION!

  • Knicks4life

    We are down 24 points in the 4th qtr. Why is David Lee and Duhon in the game and not Douglas, Landry, Darko, and Hill?

  • JASONHAYES

    DUHON SMILING? KNICKS DON’T CARE. THIS IS UUUUGGGGLLYYY!

  • Boots

    Offense:
    Four players standing on the arc, and one posting doesn’t allow for many offensive rebounds. Not a lot of second opportunities. Never a couple of bigs working hard down low

    Defense:
    Looks like they’re not playing for D’Antoni. Don’t seem to be playing like guys in their contract year either.

  • Mucha

    Knicks.

  • pleasepleaseplease

    D’Antoni.

  • JASONHAYES

    Because that lineup sucks horribly on offense. I know the starter aren’t doing anything, but that lineup wont score for you at all.

  • pleasepleaseplease

    Fingers crossed that none of these guys will be able to find an NBA-Contract next season. They really don’t deserve it.

  • JASONHAYES

    I wanna hear what all the Iverson haters have to say now!

  • DaGawD_KnowLedge

    after how many L’s
    is danni boy going to give gillinari hill an doug major consistent minutes..

    he should start now an develop them..

  • JASONHAYES

    I agree with you please. They deserve what I got………a 9-5!

  • Knicks4life

    By the way the Nets have had devestating injuries. So has Minnesota.

    The Knicks are at full strength (minus Curry but whatever) and this is what we get? But yeah we are too good for AI.

  • Knicks4life

    Lol Landry comes in cold off the bench and starts jacking up threes. What a system.

  • JASONHAYES

    Nate is showing off for his family…get him outta here. Guy is 25 years old and acts like he’s 14!

  • Mucha

    The “blow-out line-up” should be Douglas-Robinson-Gallinari-Lee-Hill

  • Knicks4life

    We are down 24 pts in the 4th qtr with 5 minutes to go. I think they can afford to sacrifice some offense to get hill, Landry, Douglas, and Darko some valuable game time minutes.

  • JASONHAYES

    Why does it feel like the Nets have a better record than the Knicks?

  • Knicks4life

    You want to risk injuries to Lee and Nate during blowouts? Why not get Darko and Landry some minutes?

  • JASONHAYES

    How long do yall think it will be before Lee starts demanding a trade?

  • Knicks4life

    We just got blown out by the Kings without Kevin Martin.

  • Dave the Rave

    All but 3 or 4 of them will be gone in 2 years. That’s the plan. This is the excrement of Isiah Thomas.

  • DatNewYorker

    i have no words.

  • JASONHAYES

    Gotta love Kelly Tripucka!!!! Preach brother…..preach!!!

  • Boots

    “Why does it feel like the Nets have a better record than the Knicks?”

    Because the Knicks have been bad for so long, the Nets had to have been better at one time. Therefore,Knicks fans got used to thinkig that.way.

  • Dave the Rave

    That’s the plan. It’s not obvious?

  • totti

    good night friends of disgrace

  • JASONHAYES

    Nate and Coward lee, played horrible defense. So how could they have a good game? Basketball isn’t just about offense!

  • JASONHAYES

    The Nets are gonna get better free agents then we are. They have better pieces, and a draft pick. They are light years ahead of us. We have nothing to show for, for all the years of losing! NOTHING!!

  • ds2488

    Absolutely disgraceful performance. As I was saying to a friend, it is absolutely mind-boggling that Duhon can be this bad and still play this many minutes. I am not convinced he could be a rotation player for any team in the league right now. Awful. Hughes also sucks and his lack of effort tonight was startling. Nate could be the worst defensive player Ive ever seen. Whatever. These rent-a-knicks are a disgrace to the NBA and the sport of basketball right now. I particularly enjoyed Hughes casually walking to contest a 3 that was then swished early in the 3rd. As long as development continues to happen I guess. At least Gallo and Hill were somewhat respectable, which is more than I can say for anyone else on the team. What a joke.

  • JASONHAYES

    WHAT DO THE IVERSON HATERS HAVE TO SAY? SHOW YOURSELVES!

  • barnaby8787

    If I was DW, i’d call OKC and try to ship chandler and JJ for etan thomas at this point. I don’t care if we get nothing for chandler; he’s playing like complete garbage right now and it would clear up cap. Plus, OKC likes young players and has cap to spare.

    My general thoughts/observations on the game:
    -I’d rather have darko shoot a 3 then chandler at this point
    -If chandler was about to take a shot and not drive, I wish that d’antoni would tase him from the sideline
    -Am i the only person who can’t stand harrington at this point? He put up 19 shots tonight and honestly, the guy is all about one-on-one and it’s getting worse by the day.
    -Gallo needs some redbull. Then maybe he would realize that he’s quicker then most who generally guard him, so he can move instead of always wanting a 3.
    -Nate’s dad could probably eat nate, but at least he seems to carry himself as a gentleman and not a middle schooler like his son.
    -Maybe D’antoni should show some balls and bench people like nate for not playing defense so they get the point; just a thought.
    -TD down to 15 minutes a game after having 3 straight of 20 pts. or more about 5 games back. Confidence right there.
    -Duhon won’t be in the league next year.
    -Our best defender played 13 minutes (Larry Hughes)
    -Last comment and i’m going to get laughs here, but I actually like JJ. He’s one of the few veterans who actually plays hard and would take a charge from shaq. Obviously, we need to get rid of him, but I think that he’s one of the better veteran role players to show the younger players how to play defense.

    A lot of this was obvious, but I wouldn’t be surprised if AI was out of retirement come friday and in a knick uniform. D’antoni might change his mind on not wanting him after he saw his team get blown out by a team where 7 out of 9 that played haven’t even been in the league for more than 3 years…5 of which have been in the league for one year or less…

  • JASONHAYES

    ZOMBIES CAME BACK TONIGHT!

  • barnaby8787

    LOL, i have respect for him b/c he knows his stuff, but he doesn’t know the players…he said steve hawes; almost as bad as mike breen saying jamal thompson instead of jason…

  • JASONHAYES

    Not only can i not stand Harrington, but I can’t stand this entire team. I said in past post, Chandler is trrrrraaaaassshhhhhh!!!

  • JASONHAYES

    LOL….none of them know the other players. Clyde is always messing up with players, or finding out facts about players during broadcasts. I bet he found out Iverson retired in the fourth quarter.

  • ds2488

    Jason come on man, we didn’t sign Iverson so Duhon could get his 30+ minutes and Douglas can get his 15. All about development of the young guys man. We are really working hard on developing the young ones, who needs Gallo and no-shot chandler when we can have Buckets and JJ in the game? all about player development. What a joke.

  • barnaby8787

    I like 3 players on this team; gallo, hill, td…even landry’s ok…that’s it…trade everybody for role players; i could care less at this point…
    starting lineup
    pg-ghosface
    sg-landry
    sf-gallo
    pf-ewing jr. (find him; sign him)
    c-hill

    We would lose but at least we wouldn’t get pissed off over lack of hustle/effort

    Plus, we would get back draft picks for the scrubs on this team…

  • Knicks4life

    Eddie Curry just called me and told me he is very offended by your post. He has worked very hard for the title “worst defender ever” and can’t believe that just because he is hurt for one game you would just give his title to Nate.

    He promises upon his return he will continue to make strides to work hard and improve his ability to not play defense and take his title back.

  • JASONHAYES

    lol……I wish that would be a joke, but it looks like thats the reality. Iverson could have won this game by his self at 34 yrs old! You know im not lying.

  • ds2488

    Barnaby, Im with you man. Those 3 are the only ones I really care about at this point, with Chandler possibly there if he stops playing like such a complete bum. I would actually pay other teams to take Suckhon and JJ. I just can’t watch them anymore. Suckhon has been the biggest disgrace to the Knicks uniform since the last starting pg. Damn, I almost wish Starbury would return rather than this unwatchable bum.

  • barnaby8787

    The funny part is that Hill has scored 32 points and grabbed 16 boards in 63 minutes (including tonight)…the average big man on the knicks gets anywhere from 30-40 minutes a game, so average it out at 35 minutes. In 35 minutes, hill put up (on average) 17.7 pts, 8.9 boards…too bad we won’t see similar numbers until next year…

    Another funny stat:
    Landry has 12 point in 8:44 minutes played…the average knicks guard again assuming 35 minutes a game…49.8 ppg for landry…obv not realistic, just funny though

  • JASONHAYES

    Yo I thought Rick Brunson was the worst Knick pg. Duhon makes Brunson look like CP3. Real talk.

  • JASONHAYES

    Duhon is the captain, and he said there are no concerns with tonight. What? This is bad.

  • ds2488

    Haha Jason, I would welcome Rick Brunson at this point.

  • JASONHAYES

    Nate said find “your inner child”. Get this guy outta here now!

  • Mucha

    Why not.

    But I’d like to see Hill and Douglas play with relatively good players.

  • barnaby8787

    Last year duhon was decent…decent enough to be a backup point guard that is…we should just let douglas start, nate back up, and sign some random veteran (if we don’t pursue AI) to provide the few minutes here or there….or just push a JJ, chandler, and duhon trade to washington for mike james and mike miller…washington wanted chandler and hughes for the 5th and cap filler, so why not give them one piece, plus they like jeffries, let them deal with duhon and we get cap room and players who will actually help us…james is getting old but he still fits this system and is unselfish and miller can shoot

  • JASONHAYES

    me too!

  • barnaby8787

    I would welcome chris dudley at this point…the guy was arguably the worst big man in the league but at least he put in the effort…hell, i’d let allan houston limp up the court and chuck up shots at this point…

  • Peso

    Man Jason…I am so glad I missed this game coz I would’ve been throwing my turkey for sure….guess no reason to watch knick in 60…

    I feel you man…this is painful but expected until Mike D sits Du-Du and changes up his philosophy to play mind games with these expiring guys. I say if we gonna lose anyway… bench all these bums and start T-Doug/Hill and roll the dice some more….

    Even tho our rooks seem (deer in the headlights) its coz the expirings are ruining this team….

    Mike D should not let the expirings make themselves look good (for their careers) “as he said it” at the detriment of his own psyche and job….

  • DaGawD_KnowLedge
  • Bob

    THE KNICKS DONT HAVE TO LOSE TO ROOKIES TO BE EMBARASED

  • Bob

    oh yeah,it would have made a big difference.4 knicks standing around ,while iverson hogs the ball..big deal

  • Bob

    fuck iverson,who gives a shit.anyone who believes iverson would have made any difference in this team must be watching in brail.iversons own mother is an iverson hater

  • Bob

    not only didnt a team as lowly as the knicks didnt want him but no other team in the entire NBA wanted anything to do with AI.thats gotta tell you something.that boy has worn out his welcome….GOOD RIDDENCE

  • Bob

    YEAH nate has got to be benched,what an asshole,and just like AI,by the time nate is 30,nobody will want his immature goofy yapping clown ass

  • Bob

    i hate him

  • Bob

    they should take a barge,put all the knicks on board,including d’antoni and donnie walsh.sail it out to sea,push the plunger and “KAA-BOOM!! WE CAN ALL START ALL OVER NEXT YEAR

  • pedro

    I’m gonna stop criticizing d’antoni because this team has way too many expiring contracts. This poor games are on the players, they are unable to come together as a team. They’re only playing for themselves, not all of them, but many of them..

    I cannot judge D’Antoni based on this year and a half, God himself could not make this team better.

  • Eduardo15

    Not soon enough

  • jrmlk

    FIRE MIKE D’ANTONI
    he is so stubborn..the knicks is not the suns.
    who plays a average pf as a center, small forward against pau gasol?

  • pleasepleaseplease

    every coach with a common sense for defense, rotation and player development would do a better job. d’antoni doesn’t care about any of this stuff.

    what is it that he actually gets paid for? telling those brainiacs “get the ball, shoot the ball”? everybody can do that! there’s no movement, no inside game, no defense whatsoever (that is if hill, douglas, milicic or hughes are not on the court which is the case most of the time). you gotta be happy if they somehow play some pick n roll once in a while.

    i’m tired of this useless offense of contested threes, shot by on terrible shooter after another. and i’m utterly disgusted by the defense. the coach has to take major blame here.

  • Bunbury

    This is just frustrating to say the least and borderline hopeless. First, our beloved GM hasn’t done anything to make this team competitive at all (just keeps promising to us like a used car salesman). It is obvious that the plan is to stink as much as possible, but at least the Nets have their pick, we unfortunately don’t. Second, our brain-dead coach seems to not understand that “We are not in Phoenix anymore.” Please find a playbook and donate it as a benevolent act to him and all the diehard Knicks fans will thank you this Thanksgiving. Let’s hope there is some light at the end of this tunnel. At least we can look forward to some juicy turkey today. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

  • JASONHAYES

    Bob,I want to win dammit. And I want someone to call out people’s bluff, thats what a real leader does. Look at Joe Johnson, he called out his team, and now they’re playing excellent basketball. Allen Iverson could win games by himself, I don’t understand why you guys are so indulged with keeping these bums and losing. Get the losing mentality out of your blood. Rooks CAN NOT develop into anything when they’re losing. Example look at Memphis, they got 3 lottery picks in there starting 5. They haven’t won a thing, they never had a better record than the Knicks. DEVEOLPING IS LEARNING HOW TO WIN. SO HOW CAN STARTING ROOKS DEVELOP, WHEN ALL THEY KNOW IS LOSING? ALL THEY WILL LEARN IS HOW TO GET THERE INDIVIDUAL STATS BETTER. EXAMPLE COWARD LEE.

  • JASONHAYES

    BOB im sorry bro, but its clear you know nothing about A.I. All you know is the negative. Lebron is a cry baby, and a soar loser, will you say F him?
    Andre Miller said he’s a starter, and he ain’t coming off no bench. So why when A.I says it, its the worst thing in the world. And he’s 20 times better than Andre Miller.

  • JASONHAYES

    They can’t and won’t fire D’antoni.

    A. He’s the center piece in the 2010 plan! Gallo sure isn’t.

    Firing D’antoni would be another embarrasment for the organization, because you’re firing him, when you put him in a position to coach 1 year rented players. Management hasn’t given him the horses to coach. He and Donnie understood that coming in. Now that the ship is sinking, you will see more basketball like you saw tonight. Everyone will be out for themselves. No more team. These guys are not that talented individually, to try and win games by themselves. Knicks are really gonna get the blame for Iverson retiring. That was a big slap in the face to him, you amped him up, to break his heart. THATS COLD!

  • Big Daddy

    If the Knicks played the game last night like they played against the Celtics they would have won.

    Why didn’t they?

    They even played hard the first half of the Lakers game. What is up with these guys? So you have no contract next year, you’re still being paid to play now. It’s not like they are disgruntled workers making minimum wage without benefits, they are all making millions except for the rookies and some young players. Some of these clowns are making over 10 million dollars a year, 10 mil!!!!! Yet these guys put out that trash making all that money. It’s disgraceful!!!!!!

    I want to say D’Antoni is not a good coach but we had the same issues with every coach that has been here. We have no talent…….

    My beef with D’Antoni is playing DLee at center and playing other players out of position. He thinks it’s OK like in Europe were they feel any player should be able to play any position. Mike wake up, it’s the NBA. DLee is small even for a PF but he does play bigger, he’s still not a center in the NBA. Chandler is not a 3 pt shooter and not a PF either. He’s a slashing, scoring SF with a nice short jumper who does not know how to play defense. A good coach puts players in a position to succeed not fail.

    To Donnie boy, you had to get another PG on this roster and you failed. Anybody who can just run a team for 15-20 minutes a game. Even if it was a rookie. You blew it on not drafting Lopez then you double blew it on not drafting Jennings, then you triple screwed it by not even getting Ty Lawson or someone, anyone.

  • DatNewYorker

    I thought I was watching the And1 mix tape

  • Mucha

    I really don’t like the fact that D’Antoni likes to (deliberately) embarass Nate Robinson. The coach hates him, I’ve never seen Duhon, Chandler or Harrington get the same treatment. Maybe the fact that he’s 5’9 allows D’Antoni to be in a position of power, I don’t know.

    But Nate is clearly D’Antoni’s punching ball, it is embarrassing in my opinion.

  • DaGawD_KnowLedge

    that’s it for darko rite.

    no more minutes
    when last did darko play?

  • Big Daddy

    I agree but honestly Nate embarrasses himself far more often, he’s a clown.

  • Mucha

    Yes but he played well yesterday.

    D’Antoni yelled at him because he lost a 6’6 guy on defense (maybe it’s just a bad match-up?) – but he was (with David Lee) the only respectable player on the floor.

  • oscar f

    That’s funny! But the knicks wish they were as good as the and 1 mix tape players

  • Bob

    i already said “F LEBRON”…nobody wants the knicks to win more tan i do,but putting allen iverson on THIS team isnt gonna change that.NO THUGS! and i do know iverson,thats why i hate him.i am an old school fan,from back in the day when a player acted like he didnt need his team,he was suspended.EFF IVERSON TWICE!

    sorry much,but i think its the other way around,Nate obviously embarasses the coach by the way he plays on the floor.if he would stop playing to the crowd and act like professional instead of saluting at the foul line and tugging on his ears ,maybe someone would take him more seriously.and every time he fks up,you can see him just yapping excuses at d’antoni ,instead of just listening,.the guys has an excuse for every time h screws up.this clow should be exiled

  • Bob

    maybe nate should stop another game to give a courtside “CELEB” another signed jersy….jeeziz…could you imagine if he did that with red holzman as his coach?

  • pleasepleaseplease

    some guys like harrington, chandler and duhon can make one mistake after another without hearing a word about it. gallo, douglas or hill on the other hand get subbed out immediately. hell, hill got taken off right after blocking a shot yesterday.

    no consistency.

    if i were playing for this coach i’d be dizzy from shaking my head all the time.

  • pleasepleaseplease

    remember walsh saying darko could have a steve nash like career turnaround in ny?

    of course that was a ridicoulus statement at the time, but somebody has to ask him and coach d some questions.

  • Qaspec

    If they buy him out his full salary still counts against the cap next year…we don’t want to buy him out.

    what i’m getting from everything

    is that danni boy an donnie don’t care about winning

    it’s that plain an simple.

    2010 here the knicks come.

    just play hill gillynari an doug already give them 20+ minutes every game this season was over before it even started
    donnie knew it an danni boy knew it that’s why he isn’t coaching..

    The “Professor” is better than Duhon

  • Mucha

    I agree but what about Chris Duhon laughing with his team down by more than 20 points (2nd time this season)?? Isn’t THAT scandalous?

    There’s a double-standard bob, the vets ALWAYS get a pass. But when Robinson doesn’t play well, D’Antoni yells at him. When Gallinari misses an assignement, he goes to the bench. When Jordan Hill doesn’t get buckets, he goes to the bench. While Chris Duhon launches 3 pointers from Cancun and Harrington goes 3/10 in a single quarter.

    They should definitely play Darko some more minutes. I understand wanting to play JJ and Curry to try and get some moron(Dumbleavy, Wallace) to try and take them off our hands but there is no reason that bums like Duhon, Hughes, and Harrington should be getting nearly the amount of minutes they are. And there is definitely a double standard for veterans on this team. Dantoni never yells at Duhon for being the worst pg in the league or Hughes and Harrington for their horrible shots and ballstopping tendencies. Just terrible.

  • Bob

    thats because duhon is the only point guard on the team,and dont get me starte with that bum!I argued all summer long that Duhon sucked,and 90% of the people who post on this site just told me “shut up” “your not a real fan” “how can you be so negative” ..i also kept saying that wilson chandler was overated and got the same reaction,only now that the KNICKS are losing everyone here is jumping on the duhon/chandler sucks bandwaggon.at any rate we desperately need a new point guard and Donnie Genius isnt gonna get us one,and this season is sinking like the titanic.i still say we shoulda signed Sessions.He would have been starting by now and really showing his stuff(not like in minny,where his minutes are sporadic etc)But it looks as if we have to wait until next year when Dolan “buys” a whole new team that we ,as fans have to call “the KNICKS” I’M truly starting to believe that we are al rooting for a stuffed uniform

    the hawks have something that the knicks dont………….TALENT!
