And some of you guys were rooting for the heat SMH. %%#@ those clowns. If we had anyone had balls on our team they would close line the first one that goes for a lay up. But they closer to hanging out and yucking it up.

[h1]Miles Away[/h1]
by Tommy Dee on June 22nd, 2012 at 9:19 am

I remember being in the car and hearing on the radio last year that Shane Battier signed with the heat and I thought Miami might go undefeated this year.

Battier, by himself, brought the heat several areas of need including help defense and charges, and clutch outside shooting. He was the perfect fit and is the perfect role player.

And I’m a Maryland grad.

Watching the heat last night I got the same empty feeling that I got when Lebron made the decision. That the heat were going to dominate for the next 6 years and the Knicks have to do something to compete. Aside from really being a fan of Carmelo Anthony’s toughness and scoring ability, I was a fan of the trade because it simply had to happen for the sake of competitiveness. Yes, the Knicks buckled and had they stayed patient maybe the Knicks could have waited longer and made more adjustments, but they’d just be starting on the road to compete. At least now they have an idea.

The truth is they are miles away. They need help in so many areas and have limited resources. What’s more is that it’s difficult to assess all the landscaping as we wait on their own version of the decision, but what’s troubling is that they let the opportunity of a championship coach and subsequent Battier-type veterans come here and plug in holes. Free agents would have come here to play for less with the chance to win with Phil Jackson and company. It would have added so much juice to the rivalry.

Lebron James was absolutely brilliant this post season. He was focused, his weaknesses were minimal and he simply dominated every game in a way that few have in the history of the game. He is a different player. He’s the player everyone who criticizes him thought he should be.

Can the Knicks compete with Miami next year? We will find out based on what roster changes are made this summer but the fact is they better upgrade fast and get on the same page. Right now they have a Mike D’Antoni built roster and a coach who wants to utilize and run the offense through Anthony. Carmelo absolutely deserves the opportunity to have his type of players surrounding him. D’Antoni got 3.5 years.

They better figure it out soon though as one thing is for certain…the heat aren’t going anywhere for a long time.

You better hope lin becomes the national story again because not only are we undermanned but those flopping whiny #%*@ faces got the refs

 

[lesgodsonc0]

I can't even lie, I'm a bit bitter this morning...as I stated elsewhere a few mins ago.

Carmelo is okay with being the only one out of that "crew" without a ring? When you look at Bron, look at Wade...you see dudes who want to win championships. Carmelo never seems to give off that vibe...it's like dude is comfy just having the endorsements, or Lala's wack %#! TV show.

I've been fortunate to see BOTH the Giants & Yankees win multiple championships, and just most of you...I'm STILL waiting for these Knicks.

 

[shuges]

Oh, and....

My response to all of the above?

That shh cray.

 

[redd spyder]

[duba169]

[mronegative]

[kevi]

[franchise3]

I just noticed this is a 1226 page thread

props my dudes

 

[alleniversonfan01]

We are gonna be a problem if we can stay healthy next year. Injuries killed us because of the short season. And if we can add Nash that makes us really scary even if it means we have to lose Lin and Novak (still got my fingers crossed we wont).

And im not putting any thought into the whole all the top 5 picks got a ring now except Melo. When 3 of the top 5 had to band together to get a ring in the first place. And Darko? $%@+* please. If thats the case Adam Morrison has more chips that everyone in the 03 draft class and the same amount as Wade.

We got unlucky this year with the injuries and playoff seeding.

Unless we sign Nash, i strongly believe we're a ECF team AT BEST. Lin isnt the second coming of anything, he's a good piece, but we're not going very far with our current roster.

If i'm the Knicks i push STRONGLY to get a 1st rounder this year, fields and douglas should be able to land us a top 20.

Fields seems to have a Kobe/Dirk no trade clause though. Dude is untouchable

Really if we could move Fields and Douglas for something better than I hope we do.

Nah, not intentionally at least. I'm as big a Melo supporter as there is. Just posted that stat to show the sense of urgency that surrounds him AND this team. The Curry pic is for jokes. Somebody would've posted it soon anyway.

All Imma say is if we're fortunate enough to receive the blessing of a NBA title within the next few years...#$%#$# all throughout this section of NT are getting unlimited rounds from the choppa for the pure #!#*%@# I've seen throughout these playoffs. I'll gladly take another IP ban from this $@%$# to really let #$%#$# have it.

Just like The King said..."taking mental notes".

 

[proshares]

The main thing is to see if this Bird Rights hearing goes the Knicks way. Take it from there I suppose.

 

[seymore cake]

Yo... Real talk.

Something about seeing that EC picture this am made me feel some type of way about Ewing not having a ring. It was specifically Ewing that I thought of... is he the only GREAT center not to have one?

Like that's some type of cruel joke

 

[al3xis]

Eddy got his life back together and seems to be in a good place. Title or not, good for him.

Melo/Draft class story-line is dumb to me. A lot of players don't and won't ever have a ring regardless of peers. I don't think he's winning one here and I'm not going to fault the guy for it, I don't expect it.

 

[duba169]

I mean they all teamed up. That alone makes the stat ******ed.

Wow, the arbitrator sided with the union. Knicks get Bird Rights to Lin and Novak while keeping the MLE.
