Lakers-Knicks Open Thread

New York Knicks at Los Angeles Lakers, Nov 24, 2009 7:30 PM PST


Here's something I don't admit to many people: I was once a New York Knicks ticket subscriber.

For two whole seasons.

It was the final year of the still-incomprehensible Isiah era and year one of D'Antoni, I was living in New York City, and I was desperate for basketball. Any basketball. I'm not proud of what I did, nor how much of my money helped bankroll some of the worst NBA teams in recent memory.

The experience did, though, leave me with enormous sympathy for the Knicks faithful, who've had to endure an awful, horrible product for nearly a decade now. To put it in perspective: imagine the 2004-05 Lakers season. Now subtract Kobe. Now stretch it out for eight years. And counting.

So as another epic asskicking of the Knicks unfolds tonight, pour one out for New York fans. They've had it rough for a while.

Here's your open thread.

Next summer might be the one of the most important moments in the franchise's history.

They might have this one time to get it right. Gallinari, Douglas, Hill, and possibly Chandler are good young players. It would’ve been nice to add Brandon Jennings. Oof!

If you want to torture a Knicks fan,

just mention Brandon Jennings.

Or Jordan Hill.

Also, the Knicks home attendance has been down this year. Fans are beginning to

keep their money in their pockets. I think passing on Iverson was a mistake. The franchise is in disarray and the players on the team inspire fans to attend games. Iverson would at least put butts in seats, coupled with the possibility of adding McGrady. At least you would have talented disaster on the court.

by E-ROC on Nov 24, 2009 7:20 PM PST reply actions  

Passing on Iverson is never a mistake.

Two words to prove my point: Stephon Marbury.

I disagree. I know A.I. has been a-hole the last year and some change, but I think he would

fit in well with the system. He would be starting, which is what he has been wanting to do. Plus, it gives the Knicks a creative scorer, star attraction which could equal a boost in attendance. I would’ve done it.

by E-ROC on Nov 24, 2009 7:48 PM PST up reply actions  

as long as Iverson started

he wouldn’t not have been a distraction. He never complained anywhere as long as he started. That has always been his gripe. Like a Supervisor being demoted and having his office taken away and placed in a cubicle with the minions….his/her ego can’t handle it.

That would be awesome, but I wouldn't bet 30 cents on the Jazz being able to finish this year...

I’ve seen 3 home losses already, not one of them a really CLOSE home loss. And they really suck on the road. They are going to have HUGE pressure on them to ditch Boozer at the trade deadline, too — and he’s a big part of their offense.

They have problems.

I forgot what they called it but it’s a feature they use to try and give the fans at home watching a closer feel to the game. Almost as if they are courtside. I like it. They jump to it from time to time.

PGs on this team are basically glorified two guards anyway

But I agree on his defense; he simply gives 110% every single second, which is a huge positive.

But not as much as West going East

I’ll let nomuskles from FB&G defend this one:

Traveling west is NOT more difficult for the NBA teams. You gain hours traveling west, which means more hours to sleep before shootaround or the game (early Sunday games). A team traveling west might arrive late at night and then have to play the 12:30PT/3:30ET game. Their bodies feel like it’s 3:30pm. There is plenty of time for them to rest after flying in. Conversely, if the Lakers travel to the Eastern time zone and play the 12:30ET game, they are playing at 9:30 am according to their bodies. Have you ever tried to play at 9:30 in the morning? Not an easy task, especially after traveling and sleeping in a hotel.

The bench doesn’t get the ball to Bynum when he’s in good position. Instead they get it to him in places where he has a difficult time making shots. They don’t let Lamar handle the ball as much either. They don’t help themselves out and make it easier. Instead they just look very very sloppy.
