i punched a wall when the knicks got the six.

i'm not expecting a similar reaction tonight, but anything is possible.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

After watching that tape I have come to these conclusions about the Italian

He has very good fotwork
Needs to get stronger
Will get bodied on the block
He is not, and I repeat he does not look soft at all
Decent finisher and more athletic than thought
The defense in Italy is atrocious
Has a pretty good IQ
Will not be a great rebounder unless he gets stronger
Good jab step
Reads defenses well
Lacks explosiveness

On the next level he will be a solid player, probably average 15, 16, 17 points on a terrible team. The comparisons to Kukoc are pretty solid. Does this mean Iwant the Italian? Not if Westbrook, Bayless or Mayo are on the board. He is going to be a good player, but I don't see us taking him with the probabilitythat Bayless will be on the board. First time watching him up there and I was pretty impressed, he won't be a stiff or a dud.
Has to use the up and under move in the post or turn around fadeaways because of his lack of strength

This is going to be an interesting night I can't wait. I also hope the Knicks take Gallinari just to see the fan reactions.

Rumor has it Riley is trying to clear cap space as much as he can, and wants Odom back in the fold.

jesus....wayy too good to be true

mayo/kobe/artest/gasol/bynum....look at that defense

fisher/kobe/beasley/gasol/bynum....look at that offesne

Same.

 

[MambaMentality824]

Yeah although I doubt that trade with the Lakers will happen that would be awesome for LA IMO. Riley is not that stupid though so it wont happen.

 

[willinc]

Hopefully with all these deals going down.

Miami will stand pat and take M. Beasley

I don't know you two but I hate you.

My friends are going to have to physically restrain me if the Knicks pick the Italian. It seems like it's going to be a ridiculous night, I'm veryexcited to see what happens, and can't wait to come back to NT to see everyone's reactions too

 

[the wizard]

Out of curiosity, how big was Garnett when he came out of HS?

 

[blackmagnus514]

I'm convinced the Knicks aren't getting Mayo. No way, no how.

Gallinari?

Bensonhurst gonna make up 60% of fan attendance at home games.

 

[ballinboykz]

Out of curiosity, has there ever been so many trade rumors looming on draft night before? It just seems this year is much more crazy than in year's past.

I'm sick of people making this comparison...people do it for one reason...because they have the same last name...other than that they are nothing alike

Just a Sixer fan thing I guess.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Meh I see the comparisons, undersized combo guard who can score, but not a great ball handler and can't run an offense.

 

[D Fly]

Aye, I might start an AIM chat for the draft if anyone's down.


It'll be ntnbadraft or something and you just invite yourselves in.

don't boo at MSG, just take it out to little Italy, riot and burn the mother down....on the other hand if he's like Marco Bellinelli - you knowhe's going to bring a trophy to the draft by his side...

 

[airjordanvi]

Why does Seattle have #7 and LAC have #4?

 

[trillipinotrapstar]

good riddance the Heat-Clips trade did not go down.....

now Pat must do the right thing and pick Beasley.

 

[ballinboykz]

Italian girls FTW

 

[1nyceballa]
