Don't Overlook KNICKS

[frankthetank966]

Let me just point out that we can not overlook the Knicks. They have an awesome Guard in Nate Robinson and stud PF/C with David Lee. There coach D'Antonio aint to shabby also.

We have to control the pace and not get into a run and gun game with the Knicks. They are the eastern division version of the Suns.

[High5]

Well they beat us last time so I don't think anyone is overlooking them. Hopefully Nate doesn't go wild on us again.

[Red Hawk #21]

Yea, the Knicks can get hot. Nate is a beast at 5'9. We should be able to win though.

NATE AINT PLAYING! Just announced on MSG.

Pick 'em game

That's crazy to me. Hawks should be favored by 6 .. atleast on paper.

Smith already has 2 turnovers which turned into 6 points for the Knicks.

yeah he's also 5/6 from the field and 1/1 from the line....try not to be negative unless it's seriously warranted.

OK

the Knicks have 8 offensive rebounds in the first half. They average 11 per game.

Lee has 10 rebounds already. Smith has 1.

[LOL_Hawks]

We're gonna lose to them again. The announcers were pointing it out, the Hawks decided that they don't feel like driving on their terrible defense, and nobody wants to defend Al Harrington or Gallinari.

[exodus]

The Hawks are getting punk'd by the friggin knicks.

[Supporter]

I wanted to blame this lose on woody so bad, but he can't help it if the players want to impersonate zombies....

Nothing is easy. When are fans going to realize that. The NYK aren't exactly a bad team.

yea

Smith jacks a 3 and then turns it over. WTF someone needs to smack him upside the head.

[bonethugz]

3 things for josh smith,

1)no 3 pointers

2)when you lead point guard asked for the ball to bring it up court. you give him the ball

3)you're no point guard/forward. do NOT bring up the ball

[exodus]

A real coach would understand that when you are playing a team with no interior D and your 3 pt shooting is off you should attack the rim. Unfortunately the Hawks don't have a real coach. they have...

[LOL_Hawks]

That is a very good point. They basically fell into the Knicks plan: Get the other team into a shooting contest, where defense is optional. The Knicks definitely dictated the pace of this game, and instead of us playing to their weaknesses (interior defense and driving the balll), we played to their strengths (perimeter defense and chucking up 3s).

I'm one of the more positive members on here...but it's really hard to defend the team when they play as stupidly as they did tonight.

[bonethugz]

why do we need a timeout now with the ball on their court?

[bonethugz]

nevermind, it's over

[Plastic Man]

nevermind, it's over

yeah let's play an unhealthy Bibby 38 mins and settle for jumpers, then put in Acie to break down the defense for final 2 mins when we're down 15.
