I wasn’t all impressed with the Knicks acquisition of A’mare Stoudemire this summer. From his recent history with the Suns I felt like he was on the decline skills-wise and since he was a post player I knew he needed a ballhandler[ll] to set up his playmaking. The Knicks, other than having the coach where he saw his greatest success, didn’t seem like a good fit.
Wham! (no George Michael) and along with some smart free agency moves (Felton!), draft picks (Landry!) and even residual role player pickups (Turiaf!) the Knickerbockers are looking like a real team in the league. We still aren’t elite status yet but the next two weeks will go a long way to showing me what we are capable of.
Okay, I still say that A’Mare’s defense is lacking, but it’s really his rebounding that I wish would improve. When he does have a decent rebounding game he also finds a way to have double digits in turnovers. I know, I know, its a work in progress.
With the upcoming week’s schedule featuring Carmelo, Rondo, LeBron and Durant I am desperate to get a ticket to go inside the Garden.
Anybody got a hookup for the kid?
My Knicks support never waivered. Has it been a dysfunctional relationship? YES. But I never left. I await all the bandwagon kids who became HEAT fans when we didn’t get LeBitchassness. Make your own seat fucktards.
I like the use of waivered as opposed to wavered.
You know this is a pun is always intended community. Dallas you might have to co-author “Diesel Decoded”.
No doubt we the future of speak on this side.
Internets saying that Jordan/Bobcats is making a hardbody move for Melo
My heart is with Clyde, always (II) but unlike the stalwart 40, I walked out on this abusive relationship almost a decade ago and ain’t looked back except once in a while, here.
I still more than feintly (faintly?) hope the Knicks pull something together before the Russian Oligarch/Fake Drug Dealer Nets show up to embarrass BK too.
You are far from elite status, but I agree, the next 2 weeks will be a great gauge of where the Knicks stand.
Always enjoy the basketball posts.
