He deserves better than the Knicks

With eight guys in double figures scoring for the Atlanta Hawks you Knicks fans can't blame a single player for this loss. Your entire team, coached by a defensive guru, sucks on defense.

They looked lost and confused on switches, getting back on fast breaks and defending screens and pick and rolls.

If I were still a Knicks fan I'd be shouting for Woodson's fat head but since the Knicks constant losing at home (1-6 with 5 straight losses) benefits my team the Brooklyn Nets I'm simply going to enjoy this.

The couple of minutes when the Knicks were actually getting back into the game Felton, Anthony and Smith were off the floor. Prigioni was the point and moving the ball well to find Hardaway Jr., Shumpert and Stoudemire for good shots.

But we all know that Woodson can't let good fortune go on for to long before he makes one of his patented genius moves. So he put JR Smith into the game who stopped all ball movement so that he could jack up his off the mark shots and the game went back into the Hawks favor and they never looked back.

Anthony stood up for the last three minutes of the game on the sidelines just watching. If I could read minds I'd guess he was saying to himself, 'There's no way in hell I'm staying here for two more years of this shit.'.

Expect his management team to say to the rest of the league that it is not a forgone conclusion that he will return for the extra few dollars the Knicks can offer, when he opts out of his contract at the end of the season, so enter your deals fast and often.

I wasn't enamored with the Iman Shumpert draft pick but I have really come to like this kid. Shumpert played solid defense and stepped up his scoring in the second half tonight.

I hope he gets traded soon because he deserves better than the Knicks and James Dolan.

Get used to it

The Knicks were beaten by a better team tonight but there are some alarming things to realize about the game of so called veterans at this stage of their careers that makes you concluded that they will never be winners.

Dumb fouls in the final two minutes aside, when will Carmelo Anthony learn that you stick with what works and what was working tonight was dribble penetration and then passing the ball once or twice for the best shot.


Anthony was not the sole reason why the team lost the game especially with Metta World Peace allowing Lin and Harden to make three pointers in his face.

It would have also helped if Prigioni and Felton could stay in front of people but they aren't going to get any quicker with their lateral movement any time soon so why not continue to attack the Rockets in the only way that they could not stop which was ball movement and dribble penetration.

Well Knicks fans it's going to be just like this for the next two years so get used to it.

Knicks Lose Again, Rockets 109 - Knicks 106

Dolan's ass

It was reported today by Mike Isola in the New York Daily News that the New York Knicks are considering trading Iman Shumpert to Denver for Kenneth Faried.

Last year Stephen A Smith went on a rampage when he discovered that James Dolan had a personal problem with Shumpert and was thinking of trading him at that time.

Knicks fans your meddling ass owner is the sole reason why your team will never win a championship and the main reason why I jumped ship as a fan never to return.

This idiot Dolan actually thinks he knows something about putting a winning basketball team together and hasn't managed to get out of the second round of the playoffs in 18 years.

It appears that if you don't kiss Dolan's ring he wants no part of you. If you dare speak up or look out for yourself his little ego simply can't handle it.

In order to stay in the good graces of this guy you must humble yourself and accept whatever money or position he gives and receive it gladly.

Shumpert is not just a young talent with the potential to be great, Shumpert stood up for himself numerous times to management it is burns Dolan's ass to have this "ingrate" around. Especially now that the savior JR Smith has returned to the lineup Shump is expendable in Dolan's mind.

Shumpert balked at playing in the summer league to showcase himself to other teams for the benefit of Dolan. When reporters asked him how walking out of the summer league would bother Dolan Iman had the courage to say that he isn't worried in the least about James Dolan. The same James Dolan who himself fell asleep during a playoff game last season.

Knicks fans you keep all your ridiculous championship fantasies because I know that they keep you warm during the cold winter nights but if you will ever get honest with yourselves you'll know that as long as James Dolan continues to meddle your team isn't going anywhere.

If the trade rumors are right the Knicks will lose again without even playing a game.
