Where were you an hour ago, chief?

Stoudemire IS NOT the best offensive big man in the league.

I have made several threads on the knicks this year brah

remember when I told you they would go on the road and beat New Orleans (and they won by 8 points)??

this team can beat anybody. I don't understand how Boston can be favored playing the knicks on the road

**CallMeGENO** · 12-15-10, 08:16 PM

haha yeeeea im sure u woulda made this thread if boston was up 7 at half

**JOHON8** · 12-15-10, 08:17 PM

This thread is useless.

I came out and explained why Knicks were underrated WAY before the game started. Coming out in the 2nd half when they are leading is not going to garner any respect or helpful decision makeing for anyone betting, so save it.

Outside of Lakers, Spurs and Magic this Knicks team can beat anyone. We'll see how the Heat fare....

Bad Timing

best teams in the league

Celtics
Lakers
Spurs
Mavs
Heat
Bulls

IMO, the knicks are in that 7 or 8 spot

**Landscaper** · 12-15-10, 08:22 PM

Knicks fan hear and I'm happy the way they have been playing this year. Once Melo comes either this year or next then look out

First of all Lakers are the best team in the NBA.....second of all the Knicks beat the Bulls at Chicago already.So you have to put them ahead of Chicago.

the bulls are a LOT better team right now with Boozer in there than they were at the beginning of the year

not to mention the bulls have a better record with a much much tougher schedule

IMO

Bulls = B+ Level offense with A defense
Knicks = A+ offense with C level defense

I dunno....the Knicks were 3-8 and still trying to gel back when they beat the Bulls. The Knicks playing at the level they are now still could beat Chicago in a seven game series. It would be a great series though.

I love the knicks and I love Amare but I would definately take the bulls in a playoff series

the knicks just don't play any defense. You look at teams traditionally like the knicks (in terms of when D'antoni was with Phoenix) and they never went anywhere in the playoffs cause you gotta play defense to win in the playoffs

the bulls are a dominant defensive team and they have the offensive horses (with boozer, rose and deng) to stay with the knicks

**NYSportsGuy210** · 12-15-10, 09:03 PM

Felton, Gallo, Tauriaf, Mozgov all play defense. This team blocks shots like crazy some nights.

**No coincidences** · 12-15-10, 09:04 PM

It's 8-on-5 tonight.

knicks playing defense??

come on now

the celtics were shooting nearly 60% at different parts of this game

the bulls held the lakers to sub 40% shooting a few nights ago, THAT'S defense

**DeeWizzle** · 12-16-10, 02:16 AM

The knicks are who we thought they were!!

**NYSportsGuy210** · 12-16-10, 02:19 AM

Knicks play up-tempo and that's why the games are high scoring. When they have to play D.....they can.

**BernardMadoff** · 12-16-10, 02:22 AM

Alot of lucky shots made by the Knicks in that game and also alot of fouls called on Boston.

knicks are nearly dead last in the league in opponent field goal shooting. That's the best marker of defense that has nothing to do with the pace of the game

the up-tempo thing is not an excuse because the spurs play very up tempo games but they only give up 96 points per game

**rsnnh12** · 12-16-10, 03:04 AM

Knicks played great tonight, but it will be a much different story when the Celts don't have to start their 4th string center. If the Knicks can pick up Carmelo soon, they very well could be a "bracket buster" in the playoffs and knock off a top team. Definitely impressed by their effort tonight
