Knicks looking good against Lakers

[peskypesky]

they probably won't win, but they are up 22-18 and shooting the lights out. i cannot believe how fast they play...it's the D'Antoni offense as we knew it from the Suns...7 seconds or less offense...

now they're up 25-18.

as a new yorker who's suffered through the Isaiah Thomas disaster (and who didn't think D'Antoni was the answer), I have to say that it is FUN to watch the Knicks again.

[MI21]

I've watched them play and I think it's horrible. It's quick like the Suns were, but the teamwork that was a feature of the Suns just is not there. That said, I've only seen 3 of there games so maybe they have improved since the last game I watched which was about 2 weeks ago. Harrington is really beasting lately.

Also, just noticed that Gasol is not playing. The Knicks could potentially steal a win here.

[Banzai]

Knicks up by 11..they have a great chance at beating the Lakers...Lakers right now playing no defense..which isn't a surprise..but damn Q Richardson is lighting it up from 3 point land...Lakers look like shit lol...

[Banzai]

40-28...lakers getting owned right now.

[YellowFever]

...And once again our guards are playing turnstyle defense...

[YellowFever]

All I want for Christmas is to have a Laker with their hands up and within 10 feet of a Knick when they shoot a jumper.

[Banzai]

Knicks the new phoenix suns lol?

[SmellyFeet]

Time for another lakers suck a$$ thread?

[Banzai]

I don't think I've ever seen the Knicks hit so many 3 balls..oh thats right they are WIDE OPEN rofl...Lakers=no defense.

[Banzai]

Time for another lakers suck a$$ thread?

Probably...maybe when the Lakers are down 20?

[YellowFever]

uh oh...fisher back in the game.

[Reck]

they probably won't win, but they are up 22-18 and shooting the lights out. i cannot believe how fast they play...it's the D'Antoni offense as we knew it from the Suns...7 seconds or less offense...

Where are you from in NY?

Knicks looking strong after a poor showing with the Suns last night.

[Indazone]

Am I wrong or did D'Antoni's teams always own the Lakers?

Knicks 55
Phoenix 43

4 min to go till halftime.

[IronMexican]

No Pau, so I really am not tripping. This is definitely not going to beat Boston, though.

[Banzai]

Dantoni always seems to own phil for some reason.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Was the Lakers schedule just super easy to start the season?

People were talking about them breaking 70, but lately, they look like a team barely breaking .500

How did they get exposed so quickly?

I know a lot of teams are trying to get Bynum to come out more by using a strong 3 point shooter at the 4 or 5 spot, but there's gotta be more to it.

[Reck]

Thomas is beasting from 3

[YellowFever]

No Pau, so I really am not tripping. This is definitely not going to beat Boston, though.

Who cares if Gasol is there or not.
We're talking about the fucking 9th seed in the fucking East!

Pathetic.

[Reck]

Knicks putting the Lakers out early.

[SmellyFeet]

Allanon, where art though?

70 wins, right bitch?

[Reck]

Odom from 3? lol

-15 at the half. WOW

[Banzai]

Lakers will lose. if they win I'll eat some crow..but they will lose..fucking joke of a team..20-3? how the fuck is this team 20-3? rofl...

[Allanon]

Allanon, where art though?

70 wins, right bitch?

70 wins, yes twat.

[Chieflion]

The Knicks kicking ass. The Laker defense is horrible.

[IronMexican]

Lol, barely breaking .500? That's kind of premature. I think what's being exposed is LA's softness. We need a tough guy.

[SmellyFeet]

70 wins, yes twat.


Bitch, you gotta give me some of what you're taking.

How will this team get 70 wins when they cant beat the fucking knicks?

Oh wait, you gonna tell us all about how this is just "one of those games", eight?:lol:lol:lol:lol

[024]

don't know how the knicks will lure lebron with dantoni as head coach especially lebron now knowing that it is defense that wins championships. transitioning from mike brown's defensive philosophy to dantoni's run and gun seems like a step backwards. at least the knicks are fun to watch again.

It's just very simple.

Teams discovered that guards can go through Fish, Farmar and to some extent, Bryant like they're not there and Bynum is too worried about his offense to help out on defense.

It's not the 4 or 5 spot that's killing us, it's the small point guards.

The biggest problem is Fisher and Farmar.

The one thing I hate about PJ is that he will bench someone like Sasha for the slightest infringment yet keep a "grizzled" veteran like Fisher make bone plays after bone plays and still keep him out here.

[Reck]

Lakers will be hard pressed to win 60 wins let alone 70.

Maybe I could have bought into the 70 wins crap when The Lakers were looking fierce. But now they dont even look liek they can even beat Thunder at this rate.

[Banzai]

Lakers playing like they have Smush Parker,Brian Cook,Kwame Brown on the team rofl...

[Chieflion]

I like how a guy like Nate Robinson who plays the 2 for the Knicks when Duhon is on the floor is scoring 18 points against you know who.

Every team should see how the Knicks are schooling the Lakers and start learning from them.

[Banzai]

agreed..also I fixed some of your misspellings:toast.

[peskypesky]

Where are you from in NY?

I live in Harlem.

[Reck]

Ah that's cool. Good to have another fellow New Yorker on the board.

[peskypesky]

Lol, barely breaking .500? That's kind of premature. I think what's being exposed is LA's softness. We need a tough guy.

You think?

Where's Ronny Turiaf when you need him?

[Allanon]

Bitch, you gotta give me some of what you're taking.

How will this team get 70 wins when they cant beat the fucking knicks?

Oh wait, you gonna tell us all about how this is just "one of those games", eight?:lol:lol:lol:lol

Nope, I'm telling you the Lakers are winning this game bitch.

[YellowFever]

Chances are the Knicks will cool down in the scond half and the Lakers will make a game of this but still......pathetic.

[Chieflion]

You think?

Where's Ronny Turiaf when you need him?

The Lakers let him go. He is now on the "Where is the D!?" Warriors, and is overpaid. However, wouldn't Turiaf not even make the rotation for the Lakers?
Even if he did, he would be playing third string PF. Behind Gasol and Odom.

[Chieflion]

David Lee got his double double already. Duhon is 4 points and an assist behind to get one too. This ain't a hollow stat, it is against the best in the West Lakers (media hype).

[peskypesky]

Nope, I'm telling you the Lakers are winning this game bitch.

Lakers have come back. 11-2 run. Well, it was fun to watch that first half.

[peskypesky]

Chances are the Knicks will cool down in the scond half and the Lakers will make a game of this but still......pathetic.

hey, it happens, to even the best of teams. look at the spurs the other night against the thunder. spurs were demolishing them in the first half, then let the thunder come back and make it a nail-biter for the entire 4th quarter.

[Allanon]

Lakers have come back. 11-2 run. Well, it was fun to watch that first half.

That first half was pretty bad, one of the worst halves I've seen from the Lakers this year.

[Reck]

Wow that 15 lead evaporated in less then 2 minutes.

[YellowFever]

Lakers have come back. 11-2 run. Well, it was fun to watch that first half.

Don't you worry none.
As soon as Farmar gets back in the game, there will be a layup line again with the occassional pass to the wide open shooter at the three point line for the Knicks.

[Chieflion]

At least the Knicks stopped the run and started scoring again.

The Lakers better start getting Sun Yue ready to be a PG(he played PG in China), the Laker PGs' defense is terrible.

[Reck]

Are this refs awake or what?

Bynum has literally foul one player or another each trip down their half court.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Knicks play like the Warriors, except minus the excitement

[Chieflion]

The Knicks play like the Warriors, except minus the excitement and plus the defense.

Fixed. That is how it is.

[SmellyFeet]

Still 10 point lead

[Reck]

Knicks are done.

[Chieflion]

Cut down to 5! Call timeout, you Danphony.

[SmellyFeet]

Allright, only 3 now. We can still do it.

[Banzai]

what a change.

[Chieflion]

Moral of the story: When you got a double digit lead, slow the game down.

[SmellyFeet]

Back to 7.

[Reck]

The Knicks are not going to be able to win this game with a single digit lead. They need to be up by 10 or more to be able to hold the Lakers.

[Chieflion]

The Knicks are not going to be able to win this game with a single digit lead. They need to be up by 10 or more to be able to hold the Lakers.

I think the Lakers will choke away the 4th quarter.

[YellowFever]

Uh oh.Farmar in the game..

The lay-up drill begins now..

[Ghazi]

Everytime I tune into the Lakers Ariza is making positive plays. That guy can become a REALLY good small forward in 2 years. He already is a good role player.

So that's TWO rigged trades for the Lakers last year.

[024]

if ariza continues to hit his jump shots and 3's, his development will have more impact than bynum's.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Wow, the refs are Laker fans

[CubanMustGo]

Wow, the refs are Laker fans

And this is a surprise .... ?

[Reck]

These refs are gay for the Lakers.

[Chieflion]

The referees are bandwagon fans and you know it.

[Chieflion]

Why is Gasol not playing in this game?

[scanry]

Wow Sasha is such a bitch.

BTW that foul on Al Harrington should have been a flagrant. However Sasha was the injured party. lol:lmao:lmao:lmao

[Allanon]

Gasol is out sick.

As for the refs, they just gave Sasha a ticky tack foul on Tim Thomas, AFTER he shot the 3 ball.

Calls go both ways guys.

[Reck]

That was a funny foul

[Chieflion]

The Knicks are still clinging on to the lead, Hooray!

[balli]

Damn Kobe.

[Reck]

Now the Knicks really are fucked.

[IronMexican]

You think?

Where's Ronny Turiaf when you need him?

I really don't know, but we need someone. Ronny would be great on this team. I recently heard he was Co-Captain of the Warriors.

[Chieflion]

Shoot, the Knicks just choked their lead away. However, it was a back to back game for the Knicks.

[Allanon]

Lakers could use Ronny Turiaf this year but Josh Powell's not bad.

I liked Ronny's character, really helped the team in that sense too.

[Reck]

The Knicks picked an awesome time to choke.

[IronMexican]

Wooo! ARIZA!! Odom's stock is as high as it ever will be after this game. Leave it to Kobe to kill the momentum.

[Chieflion]

You know what? They should have inserted David Lee into the lineup way earlier than they did.

[Reck]

Bynum is a tool.

[peskypesky]

You know what? They should have inserted David Lee into the lineup way earlier than they did.

David Lee rules.

[Chieflion]

The Knicks have the lead!!! Little Nate!!!!

[Matchman]

LETS GO KNICKS~! PUll is shitt off~!

[rayray2k8]

wow, im surprised the Knicks have hung on this late..

[Chieflion]

Urgh, Lakers reclaimed it. Come on, Pick and Roll. Use Nate.

[rayray2k8]

This is gonna go down to the wire, i think...

[Reck]

Knicks you idiots.

[Chieflion]

Did it happen? Come on, is the game over? Did the Knicks pull this off?

They lost didnt those buffoons.

[Chieflion]

Hit a three, Knicks!!!

[rayray2k8]

lakers up by 3 with 6.4 to go.. knicks ball

[rayray2k8]

lame, they sent the knicks to the line. :rolleyes

[Chieflion]

lame, they sent the knicks to the line. :rolleyes

On a shot or a non shooting foul?

[Indazone]

3.8 secs 1 pts behind. Steal the inbound pass!

[Indazone]

Lakers got lucky that Nate Robinson didn't steal that ball

[Chieflion]

Are they complete tards? Miss the second on purpose and grab the rebound those ******!!!

[YellowFever]

I wish the Lakers lose tonight..just on general principles alone...

[rayray2k8]

fish to the line and missed the first..

[balli]

Lakers got lucky that Nate Robinson didn't steal that ball
He knew it too. That was close to a five second violation.

[KidCongo]

Kobe has to man up, he let Ariza and Fisher shoot jumpers in the final minute. Doesn't want the ball when it matters these days.

[Chieflion]

Lakers at the line huh?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

LOL @ streamers from the rafters against the knicks

:lol :lol

[rayray2k8]

half court shot and no dice for knicks..
Lakers survive. :lol

[Armando]

IDK why Kobe is smiling The Fakers were fortunate to win that game.

[tomtom]

luckthefakers

[Lakers_55]

wow, look at how large this thread is. another typical Laker rally.

[Chieflion]

What a waste. The Lakers won.

[Banzai]

time for me to eat crow.

[Allanon]

Lakers clamp down when it's needed. They need better competition to bring out the best in them so I can't wait for some better teams.

21-3.

[SmellyFeet]

My heart....dfgoidnfgodngdf

Fuck, we pulled through. Still doesn't change the fact we play no D and gonna get owned by boston.

[Warlord23]

Yessir, this game and the 21-3 record keep the Lakers right on the 2006-07 Mavericks route

[Reck]

Boston will take Lakers apart.

I cant wait for the Spurs to play them. The way the Lakers are playing any team can win against them.

[Allanon]

Yessir, this game and the 21-3 record keep the Lakers right on the 2006-07 Mavericks route

2006/07 Mavs weren't 21-3.

[Chieflion]

2006/07 Mavs weren't 21-3.

67-15. First round exit. This was what they were saying. Lakers sure as hell won't get 70 wins.

[j-money24]

2006/07 Mavs weren't 21-3.


no hes right..
were playing like them
we look like the fricking clippers right now
and i have no idea how were 21-3.

[Allanon]

67-15. First round exit. This was what they were saying. Lakers sure as hell won't get 70 wins.

You can't compare the two teams, Mavs started out poorly but peaked later.

Lakers have been rolling since Day 1.

[N4th4n]

Bynum continues to put up those all time great numbers. He is by far the best center in the game.

[Medvedenko]

21-3
/thread

I see a lot of sad sack "other" team fans talking shit....worry about your own teams. The last time I saw the standings the lakers are owning the west. Oh and I love the Dallas comparisons....too funny. I forgot every team that wins 60+ always lose in the first round. Pathetic.

[Lakers_55]

Lakers play to the level of their competition, they always have, including when Kareem and Magic were playing. Other teams always try harder against us. That's ok, keeps us sharp. Bring on the good teams and we will win plenty of those just as we have been doing since we got Gasol.

[Allanon]

Bynum continues to put up those all time great numbers. He is by far the best center in the game.

I wouldn't go that far but he's right there behind Yao and DHo and you're right.

13 points on 50% shooting
11 rebounds
4 blocks
in 30 minutes

Great game by Bynumite, thanks for the props.

[turiaf for president]

LOL at everyone hoping for a laker loss. you spurs rockets mavs blazers fans......etc all know the lakers are going to run away with the west so yall are hating.

[Lakers_55]

Last season, before the Gasol trade, Lakers had a 15-13 record against teams that made the playoffs that season. After that, we were 11-3 and Gasol was injured early in one loss and missed another. We dumped several games to pretenders.

This year, I think we are 10-1 against teams that made the playoffs last year. When the Lakers go back to an even record against contenders, I'll be worried. Lakers do play to the level of their competition, so watch out league!

[Medvedenko]

Last I checked, The Lakers were lucky to survive this game and the previous few.

What's your point.......a win is a win.

[TheMACHINE]

My heart....dfgoidnfgodngdf

Fuck, we pulled through. Still doesn't change the fact we play no D and gonna get owned by boston.

ur fucking bi-polar arnt u?

[ClingingMars]

lol, knicks

-Mars

[Allanon]

Also, gotta give some love to my boy Lamar.

With Pau out, he got the start and he delivered. This is why the Lakers won't trade him, nobody to backup Pau or Bynum. Josh Powell and Chris Mihm are decent but not Lamar Odom quality.

17 points
12 rebounds

And 2 crucial plays to win the game.

We might see a Triple Tower lineup yet.

[SmellyFeet]

ur fucking bi-polar arnt u?

I'm a laker fan. biatch.

Except I'm not up in sucking them off when their playing like shit like the rest of you homers are. If nothing changes, you are in for a rude awakening.

Heh, who am I kidding, you'll make up excuses for that as well.

[angelbelow]

pretty exciting game.

[Ghazi]

Lakers are too soft.

[Medvedenko]

Hey what's with the Laker fan on Laker fan violence here......
Honestly, the team needs some help and the rest of the league is adjusting to us right now, hence no blowouts lately. Also, it's December, so let's chill until the next episode....

[SpursDynasty]

The Lakers aren't that good and they won't be able to get away with this playing from behind stuff much longer...

My favorite Lakers fans. :lol

[YellowFever]

I really wish the Lakers had lost this one (and the past few games they played) because quite frankly, I'm sick and tired of them playing down to the level of their competition.
I dunno if it's PJ's lackadasical demeaner or what but ever since he got here the Lakers have been winning but it's never the convincing "I just kicked your ass...what are you going to do about it?" kinda win but rather "damn,the Lakers stole that game from us" kinda win.

This has to stop.
Bad habits are hard to break.

I really don't care about the Spurs fans, the Suns fan, Nuggets fans, etc, etc thinking their teams are going to kick our butts. If they are thinking that, they must be delusional because if they follow the Lakers closely (even last year's surprising run) they ALWAYS play at the level of their competition and they just seem to do enough to beat the team put in front of them...until they run into a really tough team mentally prepared and then the 30, 40 point blowout happens to them.

They ain't gona win jack shit until they break this habit.

Don't fool yourself into thinking they will have it straightened out by the time the playoffs start.
They'll make short work of the Spurs and New Orleans but they won't get past Boston or Detroit..hell they're not even going to get past Cleveland with their current attitude.

Funny you mentioned delusional in your post because that's what that whole post is. Delusional.

The Lakers will make short work of the Spurs and New Orleans but will get beat by Detroit. Classic.

[DrHouse]

The Lakers will be fine.

No Pau tonight, the whole team had to adjust. I thought they fought hard in the 2nd half.

Uh..yeah.

The spurs/Hornets are not physical and won't push the Lakers around like some of the Eastern team does.

What's delusional is actually thinking the Spurs will win in a seven game series against the Lakers being a year older than the last time they met...umm in which the Lakers beat the spurs. (yeah yeah..Manu was not healthy..they shot poorly...blah blah blah)

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

Move over Rocket's bandwagoners, here comes the Cav's bandwagon...10 seconds left in the game down by 1 who u give it to? Kobe or lebron? Leron will drive cuz thats all he can do and get doubled and settle for a horrible shot or pass it while kobe can create his shot from anywhere. if u need a stop who u want guarding the best player on the opposite team? Lebron or Kobe? Kobe can lock up when he wants to. NBA finals stripped pierce to get the win for game 5 while lebron got blown by......games 1-7!!!!! dont make this arguement.. Kobe is the best on this planet right now. Lebrons behind him though

This is right up there with the "tripple three" post.

[YellowFever]

Just you shouldn't talk before they even play a game. It may or may not caught up with you. Just saying.

Cool, I understand that.

Come playoff time the Lakers might not even get out of the first round.

But as of right now, I like their chances against any Western Conference teams despite their lackadasical play.

And I only say that because there are no teams in the WC that really bruise you.

Yeah, this is MY opinion only but the Spurs will need to make a couple of moves before they can really contend for the title again.

The Hornets are not what they were last year. Rest of the league has got them figured out and that makes it harder for them to win than they did last year.

Suns will implode. Do you have any doubts with Shaq Fu on that team?

Mavs...well..nuff said.

Only team on the West that scares me are the Nuggets. They are brash enough to think they can win the title and that sort of team scares me.

I hope the Spurs will be there at the end.

I'm one of thsoe rare people that loves the Lakers and likes the Spurs. lol :toast
