d-mar: Have to go back 300 or so posts and toot my own horn, but I will make no such prediction for the Nets game!

d-mar: No way they win in OT. Magic win by 7 or 8. The torture continues.

Well, nobody's perfect.

i vote that we get rid of chauncey and his 14mil…let TD start…get earl watson as a back up pg, deandre jordan or dalmebert at Center (or both)…no need for a 3rd star if u have solid role players…and a real def coach

Hey folks, recap is up. Not sure what’s more impressive: Melo’s 39, or this thread getting above 300. Nicely done.

CRJoe: More than enough, but… Gasol (best case), Amar’e, Melo, Landry & DWTDD… With Shawne, Turiaf, Walker, Mason, Balkman, Rautins??? We won’t win nothing with that bench… What if we work a sign a trade with Nene & Chauncey??? We’ll send him back to Denver, and we could still wind up with Birdman, or Harrington to round out the bench… Also in both cases we’d still need a backup PG… Ridnour maybe??? If Rubio actually comes…

We'll have a first round draft pick right? Problem is that we did trade a way too much of our depth, and we didn't ask more than the scrubs from the Nuggets. yea She-williams had a great game tonight, but we should've tried for like you said Birdman, or JR Smith after giving away 3 of our key rotation players. It may end up that giving away, Gallo, Chandler, Felton, and Moz will only translate into just Melo once we don't pick up Chauncey's option. And also the the draft pick giving away AR and 2 round draft picks, just thinking about it hurts my head.

d-mar: I have absolutely no reason to say this based on the recent string of beyond awful play, but I just have a hunch the Knicks may actually show up to play this game. Call me crazy, which I definitely am to have any faith in this bunch.

TheXman: so i read that the knicks can release billups’ contract and have 11 million leftover.Enough to sign someone like Deandre jordan or Gasol?

Pipe dream for the night: Knicks implode, Rockets don’t make the playoffs, Stern fixes it so that Knicks win lottery & Rockets get #2, they switch picks, Knicks draft Kyrie Irving, let Billups go, sign Nenê and STILL have money left over to make some sort of trade attempt at Howard next year!!!

Chances of happening: 1×10^-10 hahaha

I think billups has looked worse more so when he tries to force the ball into the paint either via pass or by forgetting he has 34-year-old legs and can’t elevate to teh rim and attempts to dish while not really knowing what he is doing in mid-air…there actually was one play like that in OT and fortunately he found TD in the corner (who subsequently bricked a 3 that would ahve put us up 7)….that was dangerously close to a dumb TO and he also nearly had the ball swiped away by Turkoglu in OT….I can deal with the 3′s as he is a good enough shooter for it to be a net positive for the team….what scores me the most has been his poor decision-making and ball handling…hopefully that will change as he adjusts to the system more.
