COSIGN!

Fresh off that thrilling victory against Atlanta, our guys will show up pumped up, ready to beat another playoff team.

And then proceed to lose by 44.

COSIGN!

On another note: wow we have a lot of players out this game..(thought Curry was supposed to play)...expect a lot of playing time for Lee (as usual) Harrington and young SkyWalker

anyone know when giddens is expected back?
any chance he plays this season?

not excited to see fatty return.

not excited to see fatty return.

How many games before he gets "injured" again? I'm gonna go ahead and say 2 games.

[Naan]

The Spurs should just rest Duncan. Blair can easily overpower Lee and no Parker means Ginobili will have his way.

I thought we should measure it in minutes. I say 12.

[Nononsense]

I thought we should measure it in minutes. I say 12.

I'm thinking seconds. I say 7, hence the term 7 seconds or less.

[H20Knick]

Does anyone know who's calling the game for the Spurs? One of their tv guys had some pretty decent insight into our sucky defense and the lack of trust between players defensively

[H20Knick]

Horrible defensive rotations,4 people running back on the break BEFORE we get the rebound, wtf does this team DO in practice. It's MARCH for crying out loud.


Wilson Chandler's a disturbingly overrated defender. He's my favorite knick by far but he's horrible at forcing players away from the basket. Someone needs to work with him on his footwork and he needs to get his lateral speed up. He never seems to be able to force players outside of the paint.

tmac will be getting vet min offers next season.

[BenNY89]

Let's lose this game! Woo!

if he's lucky

[H20Knick]

Let's lose this game! Woo!

Gotta get the win here. We're 19 straight wins away from a .500 season. It's not over yet!

[NYK Fan]

Hmmm beginning to REALLY not like Harrington. A lot like Nate, all offense, very little defense, or anything else. Should take him out of game. I'd rather give his minutes to another player.

[Naan]

You have to love it when Harrington and Gallinari combine to shoot less than 40% from the field. At least Gallinari takes good shots, though.

[NYK Fan]

When we get a defensive stop, why do we chuck up 3s instead of going for shots closer to the rim?

Gallinari NEEDS to drive more. He's incredible when he does drive.

[H20Knick]

I like how everyone is missing the first game Gallo was ever assertive in the 4th. Now I can just pretend it never happened.
