Melo's getting traded and signing that extension. This lockout is gonna be ugly.

I remember the last time we had a lockout...I was one depressed nba fan

every morning I would check the news to see if they reached an agreement...kept doing it for the next 4 months..then I see Allan Houston on the newspaper...Lockout is over!

I took it hard as a kid back then

Ok, so does anyone wanna explain how fantasy teams work?

Is it just adding up stats from your players & whoever has most points wins?

btw, I registered under the name "Blouses."

 

[pr0phecy718]

I would join but I haven't played fantasy since 2000 

so i dunno how the rules would be now..

Honestly tho for us team nyk members that aren't doing the league it's gunna get mad annoying when ur fantasy bball talk is mixed in with actual knicks related talk that the thread was made for during the season. Yes doggie, I'm sad.

 

[yeeupp]

Mozgov
Amare
Chandler
Fields
Felton

This should be one of our best lineups.. I think coach should try Walker @ the 2 spot..







I joined the league already.. under " I Must Break You ! " LOL

 

[yeeupp]

Peeped Felton tell Mozgov to put your hands down after that first foul ?

It's funny cause everyone always puts him behind Gasol, Bosh, Duncan and Dirk that first category of big men...Myself included last year I made my fair share of cracks about what I concieved of as a lack of effort at times, but the guy has been an all-star every year since 2005 except for the year he injured his knee, from which he returned as well from a knee injury as anyone ever has.  He's been on two nba second team's and one first team and is just now entering his prime.  Sure, he has his short comings on defense and could be a better rebounder but I don't see what puts those guys ahead of him really.  As he said during the playoffs, he used to eat Gasol's lunch before he joined LA, and pretty much played him to a stand-still in the playoffs.  He's been the second guy on one of the best teams of the past decade.  Really, I think he is underrated, and then there is this talk about him falling off without Nash which is laughable.  I think he is as motivated as anybody coming into this year.  He has always wanted to be the guy, and this is his chance to prove himself this year.  Looking forward to it

This is the main point. I expect at LEAST a 20-10 year from Amare.

 

[al3xis]

I mean, post All-Star break last year, how many guys were playing at his level? Probably can count them on one hand. He was 27 and 10 for about the last 30 games.

I hold my breath because of

a) health

b) motivating factors

but when he has both going for him like right now, he's pretty damn good.


I'm waiting for Anthony Randolph to show me anything.

 

[pmatic]

I'm calling 26 and 9 this year for Amare.

 

[al3xis]

Amare: 154 points in 162 minutes this preseason

I had such high hopes for AR. I hope he can show us something so we can at least use him for trade purposes.

[Master Zik]

I thought it was shopped but CP3 rocking a Ewing jersey at some point in time isn't that wild but it's probably fake since it's Melo and Paul.

 

[ray mulla]

thats a photoshop

 

[pr0phecy718]

would have been really wild if it was real
