Do we have game threads anymore?

It's on right now if you didn't know.

we got up 9-1 early and then wilcox and Ben started taking every shot.

we're down 4 now.

Austin fucking Daye is commanding an automatic double team. That's how little they give a shit about Ben Wallace being wide open.

I'm not sure what Ben is thinking. He's taking all these stupid shots.

For whatever reason, NY doesnt seem to think Ben is capable of making point blank layups. He isnt THAT inept.

Just found a stream. Ben has 10 points?

offensive juggernaut

Anyone know what counts as a "team rebound"? if it hits the floor and your team ends up with it?

End of the 1st quarter


Ben Wallace
5-8, 10 Pts, 7 Rebs

Who does this guy think he is? David Lee?

LOL, listening to the NY announcers. Dude was trying to make a point about having to know what a guy does well for defense.

Said, "Everyone in this league does something well. You know ... well Gallinari can shoot the 3 well." completely struggled to find ANYTHING that ANY Knick does well.

Good announcers.

CV, the only player in the league who can average .8 assists a game (lol) while never having actually passed the ball in his life.

we're playing better at every facet except making open shots.

The guys we have out there simply cannot make shots. It's that simple right now.

Eli Zaret interviewing celeb Knick fans is certainly something I enjoy on a Piston telecast.

LOL now on the NY telecast they show a highlight that the announcer has to apologize for his call over.

"Yes, it is possible to shoot with .1 second on the clock!"

Can't script this kind of stuff.

You'd think, after all these years, that I would remember to stay home from work on MLK day.

If it helps.

Atkins decides against an open 3 for a runner he can't make at the top of the paint.

LOL@ the Knicks still trying to use Jefferies as a defensive stopper.

Nice, thanks for the linkage.

Why is the dad on the new Pistons commercial wearing a #1 Pistons jersey?

I didn't think you meant thanks for the LOL comment.

LOL@ the Knicks still trying to use Jefferies as a defensive stopper.

They've been playing him big minutes and promoting him in the local media as just that (defensive stopper) in an attempt to make someone want him in a trade.

He got it at Meijer on clearance.

At what point is Atkins going to put a hand in Robinson's face?

CV wide open at the arc (about 4 feet away from Stuckey) but Stuck takes a fade-away jumper after not getting his man to move with a backdown.

Maybe he just realized that he's Chucky Atkins.

I'm digging our 17:3 rebound to assist ratio.

Saw that too. He's getting better at the PG thing but he has a lot to learn.

Hard to get assists when you dont make shots.

Why is CV wearing the mask again?

well, if you can't make layups and free throws, you're not going to win.

We've probably outplayed the Knicks in most aspects of this game. But the fact is we've missed far too many point-blank shots.

This reminds me of earlier in the season. We just don't have enough offense on this roster to stay with anybody.

Why is CV wearing the mask again?

They won 5 in a row with it, he took it off and they lost 13 in a row, he put it back on and they won 3 in a row.

Seriously, that's the reason he's giving.

He also got hit in the nose a game or two ago.

Stuckey going for 30 shots today, I see.

Anything over 20 or so from him and we typically lose.

He's had it for all three wins? Geez. I was at the Palace for the NO game didn't notice.

This is an amazing run. We still haven't hit anything past 10 feet all half and we're on an 18-point tear.

Free League Pass till the 24th.

Thank you Kstat's old board.

(Pistons game is blacked out if you are in the area of course. Though you can stream the audio.)

LOL@ the Knicks still trying to use Jefferies as a defensive stopper.
He picked up his 4th foul and had to come out, and then the Pistons went berserk and started scoring at will. Dantoni just put him back in with 4 fouls in the 3rd.

Where's Bender?

Some nice Mark Champion "Ohhh my goodness!"

Like comfort food.

Lee's 4th foul was huge, too.

These knick announcers are something else. After that charge by stuckey, one of them mutters, "they're trying to make a point guard out of him, but he's more of a shooter" and the other guy proceeds to read stuckey's shooting %'s and says "well, he's a different kind of scorer, I guess".

Danilowned

They can make shots. We can't. That hasn't changed the entire game.

9 threes to 0. We're down 9. you do the math.

N8

Did Wilcox get hurt or was he benched?

And why isn't Rip playing?

5th on Lee

I don't know about the rest of you, but in a must-score situation, I'm calling for a Ben Wallace post-up.

Jeffries hits a wide open shot, something nobody on our roster has been able to do the entire game.

We can hustle as much as we want to. We can't make shots. Eventually, someone is going to be forced to make something outside of 10 feet.

I agree with Kstat.

Charlie V is a walking turnover, and I am convinced Jason Maxiell gets called for AT LEAST ONE moving screen every game.

I can't believe we're only down 8, to be honest. This is one of the worst jump-shooting performances I've ever seen.

that sequence typified the game. 2 or 3 point-blank looks and we got nothing.

These knick announcers are something else. After that charge by stuckey, one of them mutters, "they're trying to make a point guard out of him, but he's more of a shooter" and the other guy proceeds to read stuckey's shooting %'s and says "well, he's a different kind of scorer, I guess".
LOL, that's great.

Stuck is great with the ladies.

"Ben Wallace for 3."

Never in too bad a mood to here that.

Champion with the breakdown:


This is a situation where the Knicks made their run in the 4th quarter, while the Pistons made theirs in the 3rd.

14-26

If Philly beats the Twolves today, we'll be tied with Philly, the Pacers and the Wizards for 2nd worst in the East.

we shot 7/38 on shots taken outside the paint.

THE REPLAY IS ON!
