Open Thread: NY @ Denver

Let the misery continue…
I’ll most likely be in and out between the Knicks, the Missouri/Old Dominion game (go Mizzou!) and the Backyard Brawl (don’t have a dog in that race).
Part-time blogger on the Knicks at Knickerblogger.net and Seahawks at FieldGulls.com. In my free time I hang out at the University of South Carolina and occasionally fill thirsty young minds with knowledge about various and sundry things related to consumer behavior and marketing.
Duhon is ON FIRE
lol..he musta been visitin this site
Knicks 6 of 8 from deep. Fools gold!
But hey, you’ve got to figure there are gonna be some nights where the Bockers hit at a high rate and surprise somebody.
I think Denver will eat us up on the interior.
Taking it to them here, very nice, shows what a couple miracle chucks from Harrington will do, maybe the altitude gives the ball a little extra elevation to get it over the rim…
They are beautiful when they go in, but I still think I am going to call him Chuck Harrington from now on…
these are the small stupid plays that kill us:
Nate comes down and jacks up a 3 with 22 seconds left on the clock. Billups collects the long rebound and races down court. Luckily we matchup but Harrington is on Billups because of the rush. Billups notices this, drives right by harrington, and draws a foul. 2 free throws, 2 points. Goes to show you that even if we the Nuggets didn’t get a fastbreak layup off of that three, they still benefited from the mismatch that is allowed. Why does D’Antoni allow this nonsense.
Just got in from the “fastest 40 minutes in basketball”, my beloved Missouri Tigers playing Old Dominion. Held them to 18 points and 15 turnovers in the first half.
Yummm… defense. More please.
“Why does D’Antoni allow this nonsense.”
Sandy = They call it Seven Seconds or Less for a reason…
Stay down, Chris.
Has the Knickerblogger Thanksgiving wish come true…?
Well, everyone here should be celebrating: if that was as bad as it looked, Duhon looks done for the night. And it happened when he stepped on Lawson’s foot! jon abbey and BigBlueAL are probably doing cartwheels in their living rooms.
Should be interesting to see if this kind of effort continues with Nate and Douglas running things in the 2nd half. Hard to imagine the Knicks sustaining this against a team as good as the Nuggets.
I just hope Lawson’s foot is okay…
“Hard to imagine the Knicks sustaining this against a team as good as the Nuggets.”
What, BK– you don’t think Harrington is going to finish the game 14-18?
Duhon starts the second half… :(
OMG!!!!! HE’S BACK!!!!! DAMMIT!
In the locker room D’Antoni ordered a cortisone shot, saying “We need you Du! You’re the engine that runs the offense!”
What a tough guy Duhon is. If I was the Knicks trainer I wouldve told him he needed to rest the ankle until at least the All-Star break.
Im one of Gallo’s biggest fans, but tonight he has been beyond brutal. He has been downright Chandleresque.
Harrington gets another tech after he makes a basket…
Chuck Harrington baby…
I think the expirings woke up this morning unsure of where their next paychecks will come from…
Meanwhile, the guys under contract next year: 5-20 with 5 blocks against…
Crispino: “Jeffries goes down”
They gots ta stop teasin’ us!!
that’s a pathetic foul by Lee on Anderson. You can’t let him finish if he beats you to the spot.
Duhon blew on his fingers after hitting that three… it takes more than one to be “en fuego” Du!
Sure Du– take the 30 footer with 22 on the shot clock…
He was feelin’ it!!
This season would be worth while if by April Danilo Gallinari looked like Chris Anderson…
Man, the Denver announcers are a bunch of whiny bitches. Oh, boo-hoo, you didn’t get the foul call, waaaaaaaah.
tasty,
nobody is worse than Heinsohn (sp?) in Boston, but these jokers are close.
what a game!
“Jr Smith!
Clyde: Infinite range, no conscience.
I like that, Infinite Range, should be the title of a blog…
Jr Smith lighting up my fantasy team right now…
Yeah, Tommy Heinsohn is the worst kind of homer out there. I like the KG Celtics but Tommy makes them really hard to watch when he’s on the air.
One of these chumps just suggested that one of the refs didn’t belong “in the Association.” OK dude!
There’s really no reason the Nugs should lose this game, but hey, we’re close, and some of the boys are balling…
I don’t understand why Gallo misses a few shots and gets benched. But Duhon can fuck up an entire season and still leads the team in minutes…
“He’s kind of blocking out, Harrington falls down and grabs his arm”
Huh? K-Mart trampled Al on that play! These guys are ridic.
Anyway, he’s gone, we’re at the line .. nice!
Ugh, Hughes and his bad shots. Why pull up for a 10 footer instead of driving??
I also really liked: “Good effort on defense from Carmelo. But he couldn’t stop Chandler. Chandler has 4 points tonight.” Uh, self-contradiction?
Credit where credit is Du: Chris just got a big rebound in traffic over bigger people.
Charlotte beat the Cavs tonight, and they didn’t even make it to overtime. LeBron has to choose us!
These MVP chants are silly.
I’m surprised that Melo has never scored 50. But against this defense, anything is possible!
well..I guess i’ll turn to ESPN and catch the rest of Velvet Hoop versus Brandon Jennings
Put in Renaldo!
Harrington’s spin move is UNSTOPPABLE!
Wow. Chandler.
Wow.
Chandler just earned his 40+ minutes with that shot.
then Will fouls Carmelo..let’s hope he misses 1
Donnie needs to take all the calls inquiring about Harrington tomorrow!
nice
Man, D’Antoni *always* is out of time outs at the end of a game. It’s ridiculous. It was like this with Phoenix, and it was always infuriating.
melo-50pts..chauncy-30plus…good game tho!
I don’t get it..we play the teams that are ‘sposed 2 blow us out tough, and then get blown out by the teams we’re ‘sposed 2 beat
Well, that’s a damn hard play to make going from the other baseline with 4 seconds. Try not wasting all your TOs next time. Not that it matters.
WTF at the end there?
Looked like Chauncey fouled him.
BS. Total BS.
But good game.
and….we don’t get a shot off. i guess we were lucky to be in this one. i thought billups should have been called for a charge. i also wish d’antoni had called a timeout instead of allowing harrington to shoot a stupid 3 just because he was “feeling” it and wanted to force one up.
I’d rather have Nate shot from 35 feet at the buzzer than try to set up Hughes.
But then again, if Nate shot it and missed, I’d probably scream that Hughes was open on the wing.
The game was worth watching at least. Hopefully the Rockets, having lost to the Spurs earlier, decide the thing they need to put them over the top is Al Harrington and his 41 points…
harrington and curry for mcgrady and fill in the blank…would morey buy it…please
Finally they shared the ball and controlled their shots a little bit more. Good game. Gallo in the slump.
Acually
Jeffries, Harrington, and Mobley’s partially guaranteed contract would work for McGrady…
Given the Rockets guaranteed contracts and desire to resign scola, i Can’t imagine they will be big players in free agency this summer anyway.
..or how about a straight up swap of Al and Hughes for T Mac and Brian Cook? No wait..that’d be stupid…I forget the need to move Curry and/or Jeffries sometimes. Do you think Houston would part with Battier? I only ask b/c he’s a great role player and they already have Ariza to play at the 3. If we do JJ, Hughes and Al for Cook, Battier and T Mac, we won’t gain any cap room with that trade-but theoretically it should give us an opportunity to package Chandler and Curry and have a player guys like playing with on our roster already. It saves houston a little teeny tiny bit of cash..but for us, I think it would be worth it. I don’t know..maybe i’m jus desperate lol
