Failed tip-ins and settling for jump shots. Neither of them could go body to body with Cousins or Thompson inside, but at least Jefferson is more skilled and was getting the benefit of EVERY SINGLE TOUCH FOUL.

Klay Thompson is awesome

MetSox17 · 03-31-2012, 11:39 AM

Klay Thompson is pretty damn awesome, and so fitting that he went to the Warriors. They'll forever be a team full of scorers that don't play defense and meddle in mediocrity for all eternity.

If anyone wants access to League Pass PM me.

LeBron is a douche. But I love LeBron, so if that makes me a douchebag, so be it. Cuz LeBron is awesome and if he was on your team like he is on mine, you would love him too. But I am still a Wade guy myself.

Meh, I would still think Lebron was a douche if he played for the lakers. I'd welcome him to play for them...but he'd still be a douche.

He's also a horrible tipper. I was a bartender for a few years in college at Akron and LeBron would run a tab of 100-200 dollars and tip 5% (for food, I never saw him drink alcohol). He would make bizarre requests like for people to cut his food for him.

He's always acted like he was above everyone else.

Kobe is shooting 2-20... 10 f***ing percent!

EDIT: I digress... Kobe won the game..

eat it metsox! you can't handle the Johan

bigbluedefense · 04-01-2012, 11:53 AM

probasketballtalk are such Knick haters. I can't stand them. All they do is rip on the Knicks, and when the Knicks do well they stay silent. **** you Kurt Huelin.

Hopefully Stat can get healthy in time for the playoffs, so we can take a dump on everyone and shut everyone up.

Knicks>>>>

After a huge performance/game, this team is a guaranteed blowout.

bigbluedefense · 04-01-2012, 12:01 PM

Oh and btw, Tyson Chandler was worth every penny. Love that guy.

With Stat going down though, we have NO depth in the middle, so unless he can come back for the playoffs we're in big doo doo.

MetSox17 · 04-01-2012, 12:02 PM

BBD's little brother, get off his account already.

bigbluedefense · 04-01-2012, 12:05 PM

Oh come on! He was worth every penny, he's been great for the Knicks this year. That's not even a homer statement.

And we're 9-2 since Woodson took over as coach, and since Woodson has taken over, we've fielded the best defense in the league over this 11 game stretch.

*Bart Scott voice* We're a good basketball team!

iowatreat54 · 04-01-2012, 12:10 PM

Do they really have the best defense in the league in the last 11 games? Is there some stat that backs that up, or is it just one of your ridiculous claims haha.

Seriously, I do want to know if that's true because it would be pretty incredible for Woodson.

It was stated on MSG. The Sixers have averaged something like 87 ppg for their opponents on the season, the Knicks have averaged 86 ppg under Mike Woodson.

bigbluedefense · 04-01-2012, 12:14 PM

You hear that noise? That's Chicago trembling in fear. We're coming for you Chicago!

Pretty impressive. As a side, that doesn't mean they have the best defense in the last 11 games because someone in the last 11 could be avg. less than 86 ppg against, it just means in the last 11 they've had a better scoring D than the best D all season.

Still, impressive. How many of the 11 has Stat played in? I would guess the defense drops slightly when he's back in the lineup.

I think he's played in about 8 of those games. I'm maybe off a game or so but he's played the majority of those games.

Stat can be a decent help defender when he gives a damn. Tyson Chandler has really made a huge difference. And Melo is actually a good defender when he wants to be. And Shump is a stud defender.

And Jeffries is a good help defender. We have good pieces on defense, but it's really all Chandler in the middle. Without him in the middle, our defense drops off significantly. His size and intensity makes a huge difference.

iowatreat54 · 04-01-2012, 12:49 PM

Bulls without Rose makes me sad panda. They are just so dysfunctional on offense. Great at moving the ball, but no one that can execute.

I don't see anyway we win today, just no one on their game and Durantula/Westbrook are orgasmic. We are probably gonna lose by 10-12.

MidwayMonster31 · 04-01-2012, 01:10 PM

I wasn't expecting much out of this one either. At least they can try and get Boozer involved more.

soybean · 04-01-2012, 01:31 PM

damn. bulls are getting raped. I barely remember the thunder missing a shot in the third quarter.

MetSox17 · 04-01-2012, 01:48 PM

Thunder are sodomizing the bulls. Russ just took a dump on Asik.

That was a massive dunk.

Man... is this suppose to be the Heat team that's suppose to steam roll teams all the way to the finals?

I know it's not the playoffs yet and they could sure as hell turn it on on the playoffs but they haven't looked that good lately.

Whereas OKC has looked amazing.

EDIT: Also, I use to hate him but Rondo is legit and at times is the only one on boston that seems like he cares.
