Regarding the very first post in this thread by DMull, in which he states:

“And this is exactly why I don?t believe Curry is an all-star – he dominates on one end but is a total liability on the other. It?s not much different than having an absolute lockdown defender who can?t score (which is the type of player who would never make the all-star game). ”

Ben Wallace?

As long as we’re pitching Chicago draft order fantasies, I’ve always liked the idea that Chicago gets a pick in the top 15 and blows it on an instant bust while Isiah finds another David Lee that the Bulls could have had with their pick. It could happen…

“They had the game in hand & they self destructed. If you feel you?ve gotten bad calls (and that flop that cost Curry a technical was certainly a sign) then don?t allow the game to get that close.”

To me this is sort of like saying “if you’re handicapped 5 points at the start of the game, just play 5 points per 48 better than you would have otherwise.” Practically speaking that is the approach the team should try to adopt, but looking objectively at the situation it seems like a nonsensical statement since it essentially blames the victim.

As for the Knicks’ own role in their demise, I think that may be overstated as well. The Knicks played poorly enough down the stretch to lose a 10 point lead, but on the whole they played well enough to play one of the NBA’s better teams to a standstill on the road.

Here’s an interesting thought experiment: how would perceptions of the Knicks’ loss change if their period of -10 play happened in the second quarter instead of the fourth? On the whole you’d have the same exact plays and the same overall level of performance, but it wouldn’t seem quite the same. I’m not sure there is a good reason for why it should not seem quite the same, though.

interesting to note we’re only 5 1/2 games behind Chicago, although that currently means the difference between the 10th and the 21st pick. it’d be obviously a huge accomplishment to make the playoffs, but in lieu of that, it’d be nice to cut that gap as much as possible. and of course the best of both worlds would be beating Chicago out for the 8th playoff spot, pretty damn unlikely but you never know.

“Thomas also subbed out Curry for the last play”

barely, he came out after the timeout, Jeffries almost didn’t get in in time. terrible play/execution/whatever by LA on that last play, but we’ll certainly take it.

nice win, tomorrow is a must-win game going into the break, hopefully Pietrus is still out also.

Most positive sign from this game was that the two single biggest problems of the last game – turnovers and late game defense – were corrected with gusto. 11 turnovers (season low?) and Thomas also subbed out Curry for the last play, learning his lesson from Utah (and Washington and New Jersey).
