Any word on K Mart playing soon.

the only change that needs to happen, is that they need to play better lol. better defense, make more shots, thats it.

[pnft17]

Shump not ready and has regressed. He shouldn't be starting.

Does Flight White have any potential or is he pretty much 12th man hanger on.

shump does not look like he looked last year thats for sure. he's just not confident.
flight isn't horrible, but he's not going to start. he offers about what shumpert does right now. the answer might be starting another PF and putting melo at the 3. copeland should at least play, doesn't need to start but should at least play. now that amare is coming off the bench, you could get away with starting JR too. but honestly i think it has less to do with who plays when, they all just need to step their play up. they're just in an overall funk right now, they'll get out of it im sure.

There all in slumps shooting wise
Offense im not worried about at all
Defensively i think they should get back to not switching on screens and just fighting theu the screens

Shump shouldnt have rushed back and hve been smart like rose....whatever im not a doctor

Im not too worried but i think they should have tried a little harder to get a scorer for brewer nd some1 else

Another big divisional game 2morrow night

I'm not a doctor, but I do work in the medical field. I plan to finish schooling to become a CRNA or Practicioner, only two jobs you can actually write scripts besides a doctor.

Honestly, his knee is not the problem. The majority of ACL or MCL injuries is when the ligament tears or detaches. When they go in to do surgery and reattach the ligament, it actually grows back stronger than it was to begin with. I know that seems hard to believe but it really is the truth. The majority of the time people either A) do not do the neccessary rehab to the full extent they should. B)push it too hard too fast before the ligament is completely healed. or C) They let their own heads get in the way due to the fear they may re-injure themselves. IMO option C seems to be shumps problem. He thinks he came back too early and is not having the same confidence in himself that he had last year. When he gets that back, we will see the same shump.

3rd place now, I'm not too worried. Defense needs to step up a whole lot and make more shots. We need to go on a good win streak to get back in the swing of things.

[pepsiporch]

Shumpert cannot shoot .
Shumpert was a mid 1st round pick in a horrible draft class
Shumpert is a 6-5 guard who is athletic
Gm's don't miss these guys he is a well below average sg

Ronnie brewer is probably better at d then shumpert and has a much better shot .
The Knicks have to play amare 30-35 minutes a game . He is the key to any success the Knicks have . He is going to be here for the next few years .
Melo needs to know what team is its not the melo Knicks it's the NY Knicks .
Real stars learn to play and make people around them better .

Agreed, Sixers are a good team, and even if they weren't, any team can beat any other team on any night. Upsets happen.

i havent heard / checked, but i HIGHLY doubt melo will play tonight. if its EVER a question, he sits.

[jbmets95]

lets bump this up with a 4 game win streak...

where is the realodeal or whatever his name is for a knicks game thread....
coincidence their winning??? hahahahah what a joke

catch a break with no kg in next 2 games verse celtics
my guess no tyson for both on the back to back

and a break on marc gasol....

kinda a break we need wit our injuries...

yeah no coincidence also that they seem to once again are moving the ball and they are winning again.

Loved the ball movement the in the home game against the Raptors

[jbmets95]

ya agreed

and since melo played no ball movement and they lost right.....

he is the ultimate ball hog....
lol
and the knicks r better without him...
a frontcourt of kenyon tyson melo is gonna be pretty dangerous i think....
dangerous i mean to get to ECF....

Shmup also starting to play d like he was last year as well is really helping.

Now if only Kidd could find his 3 point range he had early in the year

[Knicker_Please]

Kmart has been ridiculous! Playing like the Kmart of old. When Tyson comes back, move melo to the 3 and start Kmart and Tyson...although I bet woody will just play Kmart as the back up 5. Let Tyson get as much rest as needed, no reason to rush him back especially with Kmart playing so well. They'd have to fall apart hard now to drop out of 2-4 seed...I'm just prayin for no celts in first round...hawks or bucks please!

Definitely getting a break with no gasol and no pierce...gotta take those games!

[Knicker_Please]

5 straight it's not 27 but it will do for now! Any win against the celtics is a good one, granted they are banged up but so are the Knicks. Both without key front court member...keep the confidence high going into playoffs, get Tyson back 100%, don't rush him! Finish out the season strong and stay in that 2 seed...

Funny how there is an absence of Knicks trash talk recently I'm sure the next time they lose the flood gates will open lol...I find it strange that there was a thread by a specific member for every game they lost, but why not when they win???

[nateadams2]

yea man i know. it's funny how when they drop a few games it's nothing but trash talk. when they start winning, all you hear are crickets.....

[gonygo]

Kmart=pleasant surprise...Didn't think he had it in him. He will be a very useful piece for the remainder of this season n who knows how long...Hopefully , he doesn't do anything insane, because his reputation as a hot head is what more than likely kept teams from signing him this season...

[Wings]

Melo, Smith, and Shumpert playing lights out vs the Griz kids in the 1st quarter!

[Knicker_Please]

My only way of keeping up with this is scorecenter but it seems like they can't miss!!! They have been on a roll since I've been in Japan, if they lose the Boston game when I come back I guess I'll have no choice but to come back out here !

If any team should give this small line up problems it would be one with gasol (who I see is playing) and zbo...but seems like utter domination at this point!

[Knicker_Please]

Shump!!!
No comment from the resident knicks bashers?? Only crickets?

[IamRalpho]

Wanted to segue this a bit, I dont get why everyone is talking about the Celtics not signing KMart, guy sat on his ass for almost an entire season. What he is doing is downright unbelievable. Celtics lost Barbosa and Rondo, they needed a guard. A old of shape clown big man wasnt at top of their to do list.

Everyone else passed on him, get rid of this stupid story line
