OT: 2011-2012 NBA Thread

[GWOW]

Knicks shot 4-24 from 3.

27 points off 21 turnovers.

They missed 10 foul shots.

The fact that they were able to come within a 3 pointer to tie the game in the 4th is as much of a miracle as a win would have been.

Knicks will be fine. Lin was outstanding in the 2nd half. He made the necessary adjustments and brought them back with some big shots.

Fields is just a horrid jump shooter. Jesus.

How much are you guys all enjoying the fact that they are a) relevant and b) fun to watch again, though.

I wonder if the streak finally breaking wasn't a good thing in advance of the Dallas game on national TV....

No, he has been great. Swept under the rug because of "Linsanity", but Landry has been fantastic.

[Rangers4Life74]

dont worry guys,we have JR SMITH.if you thought Melo shoots too much,just wait until he gets going.35 foot jumpers here we come!

terrible signing by the Knicks.signing a wildly inconsistent scorer whos even moodier then Davis when they needed a backup pg badly.

you can see Lin wearing down game by game,turnovers are increasing,assists down to 5 tonight.he needs a break.

bad loss tonight

One bad game in the past how many?

Someone hasn't been watching the Knicks lately.

[Kershaw]

Cant wait til the Knicks start losing and Lin becomes irrelevant again.

[Problematique]

Are my eyes decieving me? Are the Rangers and Knicks playing the same day on Sunday?

Yes. Happens from time to time.

Knicks @ 1

Rangers @ 8

Tonight's loss may be for the best: now, when Melo comes back, they're not riding on a huge winning streak. If Melo/J.R. Smith came in and the Knicks after being on a big streak, the hate would be insurmountable.

Garden is ****ing electric today.

Lin having a strong start, and JR already popped 2 3's.

Go Knicks.

Haha, would love for him to have a huge game and that be the back page tomorrow.

Would be hilarious.

Three 3's so far.

[IBleedNYRBlue]

JR is a rhythm shooter.

He'll either make 5 in a row or miss 5 in a row.

[Net Front Presence]

Smith looks great out there

[IBleedNYRBlue]

Is it possible Amare has gotten WORSE on D?

Holy crap, he is ****ing ATROCIOUS.

[charlie460]

lol what a ridiculous call

[silverfish]

I like that Smith started off hot, but he's gotta dish more too. The ball can't stop when it hits his hands...and he really hasn't been guilty of that today, maybe 1 or 2 poor decision shots I can remember. Just don't want bad habits happening, they (Smith and Melo) need to work to D'antoni/Lin/Chandler/Amare...the system works.

[BrooklynRangersFan]

Lin at the half: 12 pts, 6 assts, 2 stls 1 reb & only one TO.

[Net Front Presence]

This is a fun game

[Lucky Luke]

Crazy.

[Muh]

This game is amazing.

Garden is rocking. Hope we can hold on to this lead, then Ranger blue can keep the party going.

[Net Front Presence]

Novak is just deadly

[IBleedNYRBlue]

D'Antoni needs to give Lin more rest or he's going to run him into ground.

[IBleedNYRBlue]

Not really worried about Lin's TOs right now.

Melo coming back will help them go down a lot. You have Melo, JR, Novak, etc. on the court, you can't double Lin.
