Re: 12/13-12/19 Game Discussion Thread

Would have loved to been here posting with you guys but went out to watch the game with the fellas at the local bar. THIS PICTURE is EXACTLY what I was saying in the bar. There WAS more time left on the clock but honestly, the clock guy doesn't have a job come tomorrow. Seriously, if I'm Dolan I take dude to the side and ask him "Excuse me, that paycheck you get every couple of weeks, who's name is on it besides yours?". How many games have we seen where the home clock is slow as molasses? And this dummy actually hit's the clock, it seems, before Amare even gets the ball. HEY DOOFUS, THIS IS THE COMPANY YOU WORK FOR, CRAMP YOUR THUMB FOR A HALF SECOND. EVERYBODY DOES IT.

Fields , though, should have passed that inbound that ball in front of Amare but I have to watch that again to see if it was even possible. When that shot hit about 10 of us in the bar was loud as hell. It was supposed to be a staff Christmas party for customer appreciation. But when they overruled it everybody just got silent. Win or lose I'm proud of them Knicks. They did their thing. Oh and Celtics, about that rivarly..... GOD I wanted that shot to count to shut them arrogant asses up.

IMO it isn't on the clock guy. It's more on the refs for not reviewing the amount of time left.

Would .6 even had been enough time for Amare? He wasn't even close to getting it off in time.

But don't you know.. it's the Knicks, so we don't waste our time checking the clock like we do other teams. Let that been LA with .4 left they would have been standing there for 15 minutes trying to figure out how they can put a whole second on it without it looking obvious. This isn't new, been going on for years and been going on during their winning streak DESPITE the fact the Knicks were still rattling off wins. Knicks did me proud tonight though. Definitely let the league know they are here and if you ain't ready to play be prepared to lose.

Their scoring is crazy, no doubt, but more than that , I love the fact they are LOOKING to play defense. If you catch the Knicks out there sleep it isn't like they were lolly-gagging. You just happen to catch them out there, but they WILL defend. Even though they might not be the best defensive team out there that doesn't stop them for collapsing on the ball nightly. That's worth the price of admission alone.

LOL. I was just messing with you Matrix. I'm on your side bro!

Yeah, I think that .2 seconds would have been JUST enough time to get that shot off.

When is the next time these two play again anyway?

Yea, I think your right.

Kind of surprised they didn't look at it, there was a timeout, so there's no reason not too.

Oh well.

He should just bust out the slow-mo Hasselhoff Baywatch run.

LOL something....

His moves consist of

The lower jersey pop
The tongue hang
The ginger run down court with hands in nipple pinching position

He needs to work on his celebrating in the offseason

Re: 12/13-12/19 Game Discussion Thread

Noah's out for 10 weeks? What the hell?!?!! This is terrible!!!

Someone please tell me we're going to be okay until he's back???? I wanna be like this guy

You will be fine for the regular season. More offensive. Boozer actually defends centers better than power forwards.

Glad you guys caught that .2 seconds thing in the Knicks game. I thought the same thing.

I like those kind of posts. Would have made all the difference in the world.

The two game winners I cannot believe that Manu and Pierce were allowed to drive to their strong hands. I couldn't believe it. I knew they were making the shot as soon as I saw how the defenders were playing them.....give me KG or Ray ALlen shooting the last shot. Not Pierce. Trap and rotate.

Re: 12/13-12/19 Game Discussion Thread

A league spokesman for the NBA informs CBSSports.com that there was no "trigger" that occurred which would allow a review of Pierce's game winner, which meant that it stood as called. So that explains that. We'll have more on the trigger rules later.

Put that squarely on D'Antoni's head. I guarantee he didn't stress that enough during the break.
