2006-2007 New York Knicks: Explosion or Implosion

Another stellar performance by Nate Robinson- as you said bigeast, he's reverting back to his old form.

5/19... that's WAY too many shots for him. He was taking some terrible shots too bro.

Curry had a good game, again. The more I see, the more amazed at how nimble he is in the paint. He's only going to get better too!

Jamal Crawford.

52 points. 20-30, 8-10 from 3. Wow.

Well, our All-Star snub Eddy Curry completely manhandled Dwight Howard last night.

Howard had no answer for Curry. Anytime Howard went into his "move", he got denied by Curry's strength and passed out.

On the other end, Curry bullied Howard, Milicic and Battie in the post. Howard picked up 5 fouls, all of them guarding Curry I believe.

I'm not annointing Curry as the best Center in the East. But he's 1-2 (I still consider Jermaine O'Neal as a PF).

Very nice to see the Knicks forcefeed the ball to Curry. Who would think that Eddy Curry would be a 20 PPG scorer in this league the way he played in his early years? He actually played 40 minutes in Orlando. Great to have a big fella back in the pivot.

Also, I liked the lineup Isaiah used with Curry and Jerome James on the frontline. Frye had a monster game off the bench.

Back-to-back wins for the Knicks and it was done convincingly.

Still a shame that Curry was snubbed, but if he continues playing this way he'll make it next year for sure.

Heard a rumor that the Knicks were interested in Gasol? But, now Thomas says not to expect any trades.

I'd give up Frye and another player (depends on who, though) for Gasol. I figure NYers envision a developed Frye being similar to Gasol, so why not get that right now?

I'd also make the move because I'm beginning to worry that Frye won't develop much more. He's a solid player, but his game is still too soft and I don't see him giving his all every night to become more physical.

Nice win tonight. Next 2 games are games we can and should win, and then New Jersey on Sunday who could be a lot weaker if any deals get done. Hopefully we can get on a nice little run here.

Franchise is playing pretty well right now.

I like the rotation Zeke is employing except for Jared Jeffries who is just a colossal waste of space.

Typical Knicks come off a good win and follow it up with a blowout loss to a terrible team.

Re: 2006-2007 New York Knicks: Explosion or Implosion

What a dissapointing loss. Total collapse.

Re: 2006-2007 New York Knicks: Explosion or Implosion

Nice comeback win tonight. Stephon and Francis were great. Carried the team. Balkman gave us some good production too.

One game out of the playoffs.

We got Lee probably back on Tuesday for the Sonics game. Nets next 6 games are on the road, including a 3 game stretch at Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.

What the hell is up with Steve Francis?

"Supposedly" the man is suffering from knee tendenitis. To the point where he even had to stay in Houston. Wasn't even traveling with the team.

Crawford goes out.

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, Stevie goes ballistic. We don't win the past two games without him. I mean the man dunked the freaking ball yesterday. How the hell is the tendenitis? I think deep down he was mad about not starting even though earlier in the year he willingly gave his starting spot up.

Closing in on the Nets. And Orlando hasn't been the same in the past 2 months.

Who could've predicted that the Raptors game will be huge.

I'm wearing blue-and-orange goggles as far as Franchise is concerned: I'm just going to pretend he felt a need to come back after Jamal went down Makes waking the games a lot more enjoyable even though its 100% not true

He was insane yesterday. The Steph/Franchise combo yesterday looked as good as it can. I can't wait for Lee to come back.

HOLY ****

Franchise wins it!!!

If the season ended today the Knicks would be in the playoffs.

Re: 2006-2007 New York Knicks: Explosion or Implosion

Simply a STUNNING turn of events. From getting a Tech, to missing the game tying free throw, to hitting the GW Shot, which BTW, wasn't the easiest shot to make.....

Stevie "FRANCHISE" was on a mission tonight & basically wouldn't be denied....

Expression on Eddie Jordan's face =

PRICELESS!
EDIT: Just count the number of fans in that picture with their hands on their heads and jaws dropped. LOL!


What a finish.

bigfnjoe,
Don't forget that he injured his hand dunking the ball in a dead ball situation. Incredible game. The two upcoming games with Toronto are HUGE.
