And the leading scorer for the Hawks is... Mike Scott?

I don't understand how you have a team so mediocre that you don't just put all your players on the trading block. What's the point of holding onto josh smith and al horford when you're not competing for a championship or even an eastern conference championship any time soon.

I'd love to see Rudy G on the Wizards, we aren't luring any big name FA any time soon so why not take him on. Trade for Rudy, Trevor Ariza/Jan Vesely/Trevor Booker/2013 First rounder(top 5 protected). A lineup of John Wall/Bradley Beal/Rudy G/Kevin Seraphin/Nene is more than solid plus you'd still have Okafor, Crawford, Singleton, Webster, Price off the bench.

Miami is bad...

I don't see how this team beat OKC.

Also, Wade just got some dude in the front row kicked out of the arena lol.

At least the Jared Dudley trade makes sense for them and might even make them better. That trade blows.

They only have 18 mil on the books for next year and 2 first rounders, see if u can lure Dwight Howard back home or another free agent.

Ravens1991 · 01-14-2013, 09:48 PM

I think we would have to replace Booker or Vesley w/ Crawford if we want a chance at that trade. I like Crawford as a 6th man off the bench but I would give him up for Rudy.

Also Vesley stock is way too low w/ him playing w/o Wall. Now that Wall is back he will actually look like a NBA player. Its amazing how different of a player he is w/o him.

nevermindddd wrong game

That trade proposal is almost as awful as the stuff diab comes up with.

Keith Smart should really just give all of Chuckwagon's minutes to Thomas Robinson. The front line of Cousins/Robinson is extremely quick and a great rebounding tandem, and T-Rob is basically a younger, more athletic version of Chuck anyway. We should really package One of our guards (Evans or Thornton) with Salmons and Chuck for a decent PG or wing.

Lol Fredette!

MetSox17 · 01-14-2013, 11:20 PM

Jimmer time bitches.

Docta · 01-14-2013, 11:22 PM

And the Grizzlies are trying to win now, and this current starting 5 gives them the best chance of that. They're all finally healthy. I'm not the biggest Rudy fan, but they're not going to get equal value for him.

MetSox17 · 01-14-2013, 11:23 PM

Why don't you spoiler that big ass picture, please.

Vikes99ej · 01-14-2013, 11:29 PM

When can we start putting T-Wolves in the lottery for draft projections?

;_;

MetSox17 · 01-14-2013, 11:30 PM

Our perimeter defense is lolworthy. It's not a coincidence opposing guards have career days on the regular against us.

A week ago.

Vikes99ej · 01-14-2013, 11:43 PM

I think I'm going to ignore the Wolves for a while with hockey coming back. Just not worth paying attention to. Pekovic, AK47 and Shved are the only positive things on this team right now.

yo123 · 01-14-2013, 11:50 PM

Shved has been horseshit lately. But yes, I made a promise to myself to stop caring so much after they blew an 18 point lead to the Hornets and ended up losing by 12.

How come you always talk ish about destroying the Bulls every game, it never happens, and then you revert back to "Oh, we'll easily beat you in the playoffs" and "the Bulls are a just regular season team"?

I'm curious, how can the Knicks never beat the Bulls if they are so much better? I mean even if the Bulls are a regular season team, what are the Knicks? Do the Knicks just not try vs. the Bulls ever? If so, then why do you keep proclaiming they will beat the Bulls in the regular season? And if the Knicks are a playoff team, how come they suck at that too?

So many questions for you bbd!

Also, could someone please take Hinrich or Rip? I'm not even being greedy and asking for both to be gone, someone please at least take one of them from us...please.

The Knicks have several issues right now:

1. We're banged up. I know Felton gets a lot of heat on here, but these past 3 weeks and our performance without him is very telling. We need Felton to be healthy or else we're a pretty average team. This was a big blow to our team.

2. The old guys are getting hurt. I expected this to happen, which is why the hot start was needed. I knew we'd start to lose more games once these old bodies start breaking down. Wallace and Camby are contributors but we can't expect them to contribute for 80 games. We need them healthy for the playoffs.

3. The team is falling into bad habits. The defensive intensity that they started the season with is gone. Bc we're being so successful on offense we're falling into bad habits on defense. The urgency isn't there. They need to get back in gear bc right now they're not playing good defense and it's really all about effort. They're just not putting the effort in on defense the way they should.

4. JR Smith is falling into bad habits. Without Felton out there, he's pressing for shots and taking more bad shots. The ball movement on offense isn't there without Felton and guys aren't taking smart shots, relying on the J way too much lately.

5. We aren't running any pick and roll with Stat. Which makes no sense. I guess we have to wait until Felton comes back.

So yeah, in a nutshell that's what's wrong with the Knicks right now. I expect these issues to correct themselves if we can get healthy heading into the postseason, but having droughts during the season is something I expected with this team. They're old. They're not gonna have great energy every night in a long season.

The bad habits have to go away though. I expect once we get closer to playoff time and the season starts winding down they'll recapture that intensity and play harder defense like they did to start the season.

Rob S · 01-15-2013, 01:40 PM

I'd rather not see the Bulls in playoffs. If Rose is even semi healthy, they probably tear through us in 5. Maybe we could push it to 6.

bigbluedefense · 01-15-2013, 01:42 PM

No they won't. We'll beat them in 6.

I can't wait for JR Smith to shoot you out of Game 1 and Melo to get fed up with Deng and Jimmy Butler in his space all night and freak out in game 3. I am excited to see a short handed Knicks team as Camby, Sheed, and Amare are all nursing injuries in game 6.

It will be a nice little victory over the 6 seed in the East.
