Game Thread: Knicks at Jazz

i say in the second half the jazz open up a ass whipping

I haven’t been watching as many Knick games lately due to schoolwork, but I recall a lot of negative comments about Serge at the point. He isn’t looking too bad out there tonight. Hopefully he was just in a funk.

Hope Douglas is taking notes on Deron Williams.

Gallo the invisible man. He should take his show on the road..oh wait that would actually require him to show up for once on the road haha. I don’t know what happens to him on the road, but he almost always seems to shoot really poorly. Its weird..Breen said he looked stiff on his shots..maybe his back stiffens up on longer plane flights or something like that. He is settling way too much. On the plus side, great defense by him on Deron..he really turned the game around when they put him on Deron.

And Douglas just got embarrassed.

i just got home, but i see Boozer has started out hot. he wants that Donnie money.

i really don’t rate him much higher than Lee. I wouldn’t pay him if I were Donnie. If it comes down to Boozer for 14 mil per or Lee for 10 mil per, I take Lee.

I didn’t know Deron Williams was Tony Douglas’ father..?

i now know why gallo been guarding guards
danni boy thinks gallo can be jeffries in the D end

Forget what I said about gallo. He has been absolutely fantastic in the 3rd quarter. He has now drawn a shocking 4 fouls on the Jazz now and done an amazing job on Deron now. Great stuff from Gallo.

Big Al is actually playin big today

na it’s his half brother

That’s what you gotta love about him, even when his shot is off, he looks for other ways to help the team.

t-crak is using korver

sloopy azz b-ball by the knicks

Sergio u FjKLing Retard

Sergio plays way too out of control to be a good pg. He just needs to learn to slow it down and get into half-court sets. The guy is always just looking to run without even being aware whats going on around him.

now u see why the guy has been a bench player since he came to the league
he doesn’t have a high i.q to play the p.g position

now he gets block by ronnie price

lmao

Sigh, if the Knicks only had interior D like that.

i thought doug would of came in after that jazz t.o…

this coach wants to lose this game

like the ronnie prince block?

lmao

thats game
it’s over i know there is time but it’s the knicks

You think that LBJ and co. are encouraged by this month though? win or lose, this was another good performance all things considered

Another botched coaching job by D’Antoni. He brings in the starters with 5 minutes left in the game. If only the team had a coach like Jerry Sloan.

let’s see what danni boy drawz up..
he probably drawing a cartoon character

doug always brings that D

Good effort, tough loss.

I would like to get some stats for this, but Im pretty sure that every game in which Al Harrington is your top scorer is a loss. He just always cools off in big moments, and is just a bad player to rely on. Great Scorer, Awful Basketball player.

Gallo was miserable on offense, and if he hit a few more shots we could be looking at a win. Either way though, he still managed to have a positive impact on the game, with amazing defense on Deron and whoever he was switching onto. He is still the only guy who contests shots on this team. Good effort from him on a terrible shooting night.

Douglas has been far less than impressive lately. he just doesn’t move the ball as well as he was a few games ago, and he got absolutely owned by Deron. Tough.

ds, good effort but I am so sick of watching these “close” games where you just know that in the end we will always find a way to stumble and loose. It just seems we always sabotage our own chances..

Yeah, but thats going to happen to any team that doesn’t really have a go-to-guy. We really just need a go-to-guy who is not Al Chucketts.

the way deron spanked him tonight, it looked like he was his daddy.

fair. but there is just sloppy ball handling and unforced errors that kill me. Even without a go-to guy you can still take care of the ball. first Gallo looses it and than we are force feeding eddie with nowhere to go. Bad coaching is involved as well. DA just doesn’t call good plays at the end of games..or ever

i think al harrington jerks off danny boy nightly

also danny boy was clearly down on t Doug tonight … had him parked on the bench for a while , no ?

Gallo with a total lack of hustle and passion tonight. Setling for way to many jumpers. Didnt seem into it. Tried in the third quarter to take over but the KNicks were to busy force feeding tmac.

Gallo I think needs a star player or winning so that he plays every game with the same passion and hustle. Played very good D tonite however.

Come on folks, I know what ALL of ya were thinking towards the end of the game. “When coach D’Antoni calls those timeouts, we are golden to take away a win tonite! Let’s see the master at work!”

To bad the players f##ked it up because you know it was a brilliant play call as usual!

true. I agree.

He just doesn’t have the players! lol

wasnt he in foul trouble?

yea doug was mos def VALET tonite..

yup the plays he draws up only works with NASH for some reason………………………..

they all need that star player

yeah because jerry sloan has sooo many rings! no disrespect to sloan, he is a phenomenal coach, but please mike is on the same level as jerry (elite coaches)

Are you seriously blaming this one on Al Harrington? The guy had 26 points/17 boards..

When Harrington plays like a bone-head, i acknowledge it. BUT when he is the only thing the Knicks had going on offense, I don’t blame him just because I need someone to blame.

Blame GALLO for settling for jumpers.
Blame TONY getting taken back to school by D Will.
Blame SERGIO for turning the ball over 3 times in less than 20 minutes.
Hell, blame the REFEREE for making D Lee have to go to the bench when we needed him in crunch time, when he was called for a CHARGE even though his defender was in the restricted area.

But don’t blame the guy who has been playing very well and playing very HARD over the last 5 – 6 games.

As much as I would like to, I can’t kill D’Antoni for tonight. The Knicks were at least semi-competitive against an obviously better team, despite subpar performances by Gallo, Lee and Douglas. Knicks are going 1-4 on this trip (I’m giving them a win at Golden State).

curry is going to feast on us… we’ll loose that one 143-135

maybe LBJ wants to play with YAo…

“Though it has long been assumed Rockets center Yao Ming’s foot injury and extensive surgery would prevent him from opting out of his contract after this season, Yao said Saturday he was “not sure” if the uncertainty with the NBA’s labor negotiations would lead him to become a free agent this summer”

Really? I think Sloane has been to 2 Finals! Also, he continue to produce winning teams without the excuse of “I don’t have my players!”

How did our elite coach do tonite after calling those timeouts?

If you keep this up Dino, we’re gonna call you DVJ Jr!

Yep, That’s what LBJ will be looking for. A team with the most Moral Victories!

Good point my dude…

“Are you seriously blaming this one on Al Harrington? The guy had 26 points/17 boards..”

Some of these guys are just obsessed with bashing Al. It’s disgusting!

I disagree. Deron Williams is just that good. IMO the best PG in the game. You put a rookie on him and you will not have favorable results.
