    Beasley making a case for most improved player. Shooting 52%, thats pretty damn nice.

    Good heat win tonight. Jrich, Bam, TJ, all efficient. Wayne Ellington logged 39 minutes and scored 28...8-12 from DT. This guy would be huge on a contender.

    With these guys balling out, looks like a good time to start trading some pieces. Ellington could get some good compensation from a contender with spacing issues and Whiteside could strengthen a team like Cleveland. That Brooklyn pick could be had.

    Trevor Booker looking good for Philly despite all the recent L’s we been taking.

    I see Okafor is still struggling to get playing time. Brooklyn fans will find out soon why he had worse trade value than Onix from Semi-Pro.

    Heat one game out of 4th place with Whiteside, Dragic, Winslow and JJ out. I'd wait till everyone is back before doing fire sales. We're also in December.

    Heat fans should know after allthese years with spoelstra, never judge the season based off of the first half.. just wait till the all star break, he will get the chemistry right by then and we will get one of the four seeds

    Enes Kanter is a beast.

    I wonder if he was told to stay out if the lane in OKC to allow Russ to drive?

    Talking about fourth place like it's first. This team is good enough for a second round exit, but then what?

    Knicks just didn’t get much from anyone besides KP, Kanter and Lee. Jack got dominated by McConnell and Simmons. Lance Thomas got dominated by Covington. The Knicks got nothing from SF’s to the point they had to try Beasley there despite his defensive shortcomings and the little they got from Ntilikina was offset by inconsistency. Baker was the Knicks 4th best player today.

    Something to keep in mind, last year on Christmas the Knicks were 16-13...they went 15-38 the rest of the way. I hope that doesn’t happen again but with 16 of the next 20 on the road a lot will be determined. We will soon find out if they’re a contending playoff team or not ready for prime time yet.

    This years team is sustainable. Last year you could tell its was a streaky Knicks. Without Melo they play better team basketball on both sides of the court.

    Could certainly use a good scorer. Paul George with this group would look nice.

    BTW, overtime i look up? James Harden is at the free throw line

    Problem is Knicks have no cap space because we gave, 17.5 to Noah, 17.75 to THJR, 20.5 to Kanter, and 12M per to Lee. That’s 67M committed to guys with 0 all star appearances the last 5 years combined. I’m perfectly willing to deal THJR for a 1st for a chance at George though. I hate that contract and Noah’s but no one is taking that Noah deal.

    This team has better depth then last year but now completely dependent on Kanter and KP

    Meh...as CP3 told the fraud mvp, "You lucky I'm not playing". His superteam was full strength and had to play their A game just to barely beat a Rockets' team without 2 of our top 8 players.

    Honestly, I was more impressed with the Lakers than Okc.

    Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

    If we played him more st the end of last season instead of giving his minutes to j richardson... playoffs would have happened.

    Kenyon Martin said he would play Joakim for his contract. Why do I feel like this would be a good idea not only for Kenyon but the Knicks as well. Lol Not saying Kenyon is worth that money or even a good basketball player at this point, I just don’t feel like he could actually be worse then Joakim.

    It isn't possible to be worse. That dude won't sniff the court this year barring like 3 specific injuries. He is a goofy looking sorry *** turd.

    No brains were used when they crafted that contract for Joakim. They all bought in the salary cap inflation and soon there will be players making 60-70 million per year so 20 million per on guys like Evan Turner, Crabbe and Joakim is the new MLE.


    Nope. Everything settled down and those are terrible contracts

    New York’s is also dope. Orlando’s is cool but I feel I’ll be in the minority on that one.

    Utah’s is barf, Chicago’s is boring, and Houston’s is lame.

    Funny.

    I hated Orlando's.. Looks like a yearbook background.

    I actually liked the Utah uniform. Reminds me of the old Astros uni.

    I think I like the idea more than anything. Anything space related is cool to me. They could have executed it better. I knew not many other ppl would like it.

    Add Philly to boring list. They look pretty much like our actual jerseys, they just switched the lettering and put some white circles in the blue numbers.

    Wont buy one, i like the regular jerseys better. The Knicks, Pistons and Hornets are my 3 favorites. Most of them look like a kid got hold of a box of crayolas and just started throwing stuff together. Others, all they did was turn the lettering to script which is useless.

    Clint Capela has a broken orbital bone. He's out again (hell, he just came back). That leaves the Rockets with only 6 semi-healthy bodies. It has gotten so bad that we are signing Gerald Green...lol. This has just become laughable. I guess Harden is the only guy who we can count on to never miss a game even with minor injuries. Boston and Washington on back-to-back road games. I'm expecting 2 losses.:cry:
