NBA Week 5 - 2007/2008

[eathb]

Boston destroying Knicks right now

 

[TheNextBigThing]

Its starting to get embarrasing for the Knicks

Gone way past that point now. 50 points.

NY havent even scored 50 points aswell

 

[Gridlock'd]

Going to be one of the worst losses in the Knicks Franchise history.

 

[krisholio14]

Is anyone watching this game live? It seems to me that the Knicks stats aren't working in online java updates.

 

[celtic_pride]

HA HA HA

One of my best mates is a Knicks tragic ...

I think surely now this is the End of the Isiah era ...
There is going to be (or at least there should be) .

The worst thing is that KG only played 22 mins (which is pretty sensible when we're only playing a rabble) and scored 8 points, and there wasn't exactly a monster scoring game from either Ray Ray or The Truth (both scored 21 points each)

I have to admit, if there is one team I'd love the Celtics to humilate on their home floor, it's the Knicks !!!
Even the die hard knick fans were chanting 'lets go celtics'...

Good to see Baby Davis get more mins and put up decent numbers for a reserve.
Gee it was a national televised game as well.
After the tough OT loss in Cleveland, this is the tonic that all Celtic fans needed

i just dont get Karl.

Subs in Diawara,
Diawara hits a 3,
then subs him out.

i dont get it.

I think it's old age catching up with GK ...

I remember reading a fan sign in his last few games coaching the sonics that made me laugh 'GK = Senile in Seattle !!

 

[eathb]

wow...

lakers ended up blowing us out, and the last time i checked the scores, we were up by 15.

george karl sacking must be close?? surely... well cmon...

apparently, Melo got in a fight again and should be suspended 3 games. Dam this thug team.

actually i hope Melo gets suspended at least 5 games tbh, we'll lose the next 5 and be 9-12, which should be enough for the karl sacking.

 

[sheller891]

i really enjoyed that game

a lot to like about the lakers

and watching kobe, even just scoring 20
is a pleasure

hes just such a freak of nature
such a gun

bynum, impressive
walton a key
and the bench = underrated
farmer gets the props he deserves

while with denver, i think the commentators overrated their offensive problems, i think tonight they just didnt have any good offensive plays at all and their defense in 2nd half was lacklustre at best
their intensity combined in 1st 3 quarters was less than 1st quarter

wont get suspended
he just grabbed kelzna throat a bit, klezna overreacted, although it was a bit dog, it was more frustration

he didnt drive at all, he just shot, and shot well, did melo, but not enough intensity

gun though

you need andre back

 

[Biggie]

46 points in the last qtr by LA.

Simply outstanding effort.

So did Carmelo grab his teammate by the throat??

NOOOOOOOOO!! Meh the way they've been playing, they'll probably lose anyway.

Andre Miller will never come back, it would make our GM look like a fool.

It's pretty hard for the team to play defence, when they have 4 defenders in Camby, K-Mart, Diawara and Jones, and 2 of which who are SG guarding specialists which Karl doesn't use.

I wonder what it would take to get Delonte West.

from another basketball board:
Sasha made two hoops (one which should've been a travel) in a row, and apparently carmelo had had enough of it. He decided the best coarse or action would be to choke slam him. Only problem was the ref ejected him before he could lift him off the ground. Carmelo's ejection awoke the beast that is the lakers bench, and the lakers completely dismantled the nuggets.

I like Walton...he badly needs to be started ahead of Radmanovic...what the hell is going on there?

sorry i meant vujacic
who was on an absolute tear

but that excerpt makes it seem like you were close at the time

at the time u were like 25 points down adn lakers bench was already dominating, thast why he was so fustrated

Walton is my fave role playing non pacer (sorry if that's a bit specific!).

LA look so impressive at times. They'd be top 4 (taking the cavs spot) in the East I think.

NY...what can you say.

 

[celtic_pride]

Now for the interesting coaching stakes game -
First NBA coach to be sacked for season 07/08 -
George Karl, Zeke or Scott Skiles ...

IMHO I think Skiles should be given the pink slip first, he had a team that was expected to be a legit contender in the East and I always knew that New York (with or without zeke) didn't have the right chemestry or talent to make the playoffs ..
But reading the various reports and ESPN etc, another bad loss by the Knicks at home, will spell the end of Isiah Thomas reign as coach and GM of the New York Knicks.
IMHO I think the first coach that should be sacked is Skiles, but I believe it will be Zeke.
Otherwise Spike Lee and the Bronx posse is going to tear down Madison square garden ..

Despite their denials, it is clear though that Zeke has lost the players.

 

[Biggie]

Isiah surely.

Pathetic performance today, which Im sure wont be the last if there isnt a change soon.

 

[eathb]

when isiah gets fired...

nuggets should then:
trade camby for artest
hire isiah thomas as coach
sign the 'birdman' as FA.

ultimate thug team.

 

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

After the Boston game Doc Rivers said Kobe was playing defence as well as anyone else in the league.

 

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

I think the Laker's fans were more excited about the free tacos then actually winning tonight.

 

[thewhippersnapper]

Knicks down by 12 early 2nd quarter at home against the Bucks...is this Isaiah's last match?

It's gotta be just about everyone on that team is mailing it in.

 

[justthedukes]

The more I see Scott Pollard play the more I reckon he looks exactly like the 'I belive that Mr's Gilmore's Jacket' guy from Happy Gilmore.
