After watching the post game pressers tonight I lost a lot of respect for Thibodeau. I realize he is trying to compete with one hand tied behind his back but complaining about calls on your home court is unbecoming.
Here are your calls Thibs.... FT's...even. if you account for the intentional fouls the Bulls committed at the end of the game. So this idiot expects his bumb *** team to actually get MORE FT's than Miami? Well...check Game 1...IN MIAMI.
Part of the problem with the knicks is that no one really makes shots consistently. One of the reasons we need Amare to come back and play well. Melo and Amare have actually played really well together when they have been on the court together this year. On another note, one thing Im going to watch for is how Amare and Tyson play together because Tyson would have to be part of any trade for Chris Paul. If they havent figured it out by now its not going to happen and with Amare's contract being pretty unmovable, it will be Tyson that goes if they cant figure it out now.
You do realize they are missing 3 key players right? If you can't tip your cap that's your problem. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
You do realize none of their gritty tough players that keep them in games against us get minutes if those guys are healthy. **** we match up BETTER if Deng and Rose play from a tempo standpoint. Plug them in, we still win in 5. When will you learn no combination of players on planet Earth can defeat LBJ, Wade and Bosh? <--- Intentionally over the top.
Apples and oranges. Paul is a pure PG and Wade is a slightly undersized SG. Paul by nature controls the tempo of the game where as Wade doesn't dominate the ball. Paul is a better distributor (though Wade is no slouch) but Wade had a much more diverse offensive game and is a better defender. Easy to say things like that with Wade overshadowed by James, nagging injuries and sharing with Bosh. Wade is still a potential 25+ PPG player on another team.
The statement I made that started this though was that Chris Paul was the best PG in the NBA. Section then brought up Lebron who I dont really consider to be a PG, more a point forward but whatever. Id take either one on my team as a PG so ill play along. Between those two, who is better as a passer is splitting hairs to me. Section also brought up Dwayne Wade as a better PG then CP3 and that flat out is not true. Who is a better player between Wade and Paul can be debated. Who the better passer is, is not really a debate Ill engage in because that to me is flat out trolling if serious.
you don;t have to worry about much. You have the second best team in the east and it will be that way for a little while at least. I still have Indy winning this series though. That game 1 loss was HUGE. Wait till you get a load of those refs tonight. They are brutal in Indy. In fact..if you are on the "coward wagon"..you want the Pacers to win this series. Knicks will be a 6 game series. Pacers are EASY WORK.
they were missing none when they got smashed by Miami 4-1. They were missing 1, when they lost in the first ****ing round last year.
Agree the G1 loss was huge. Knicks have never won a series after losing a home game 1. First time for everything though... The refs Im sure will be giving Indy a few gifts tonight. NYK are up against it with JR having 102 fever and trying to work Amare back in the rotation. Melo, Felton, Tyson and Shumpert going to have to have big games tonight... And of course I want my Knicks to advance. I can deal if we get eliminated by a team thats more talented then mine like Miami. Losing to a Granger-less pacer team would tick me off.
If NY can't get home court calls why would Indiana? ? Is Larry Bird THAT powerful? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Whats funny is that if you remember the Knicks-Pacers series from the 90's even the women there start swearing like crazy at the opposing team. Real trashy-like.
when I mentioned "coward wagon" I was talking about Heat fans. I was saying they should root for Indy. Knicks are a more difficult opponent.
Knicks fans are going to be very upset after tonight's game. Frank Vogel is gonna put in overdrive his usual "puppy-eyed smack me face" and whine and ***** his way to a ton of favorable calls tonight. It's gonna be one frustrating evening for the Knicks.
You know what I am doing tonight? I am going to Bokampers....(a huge sports bar in Miramar) You know what is there on Knicks game days? Knick fan watch parties. You know where I am gonna sit? Right amongst them. You know what I am gonna do when I come home? Delouse, burn my clothes and take a shower.
I know we don't always see eye to eye. But please know I think the way they treat you is BS. Afterall its just a bar, who cares what your sexuality is. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Pacers are getting hosed by the refs at home. Considering everything, the situation is perfect for NY to make a push.
Awful half of basketball in Indiana. Both teams can't hit a thing. Very ugly. I thought Pacers would get more calls than this though. Knicks have to be happy at this point. They're gonna need more than those ugly shots by J.R. to win though.
Awful game to watch. Knicks just were the stinkier feces tonight. They cannot afford to be this bad from 3s and get this badly outrebounded. Also, rabbit-faced J.R. continues to be bad and continues to take just awful shots.
Terrible game by New York. Aside from Melo no one did crap offensively. This group is so adverse to scoring sometimes if its not from Carmelo its insane.
Judging by the score, I picked the right game to be so wasted I didn't watch a minute of it. This series is over, we need to acquire some interior scoring bottom line.
Hope the Knicks lose and end up trading Chandler. Would make life so much easier for LeBron and Wade.
