I like your team, I just dont like Pierce. I am getting some flack on the Knicks board for that though but hes just a guy I dont like. Every team has some player I dont like for my own reasons, especially the Knicks. :o


My wife doesn't like Pierce either. It was a first impression thing that's stuck with her ever since. She didn't like his attitude - felt he whined to the refs and pout alot. And there is (or was) some truth to that, but she let that aspect of him overshadow all of his positives.

I guess I am that way also. He may be a godly scorer and a guy who some fans love but he just irks me. Same way with Amare, Kidd(I cant root for wife beaters, Im sorry).

Its wierd though, some players I just dont like and I cant overshadow it. Some I absolutely love and they cant do no wrong. I like the guys who get hated on alot like Marbury, Carter, Telfair, Alston, J-Will, Odom, Artest etc. Im a sucker for the under appreciated guys I guess.

pierecs one flaw is his emotional outbursts from time to time. luckily he will learn from this.
In other news did nanyone think that we are preparing for a damon/eddie backcourt? we played eddie a ton off the ball today having ray as our primary ball handler and i think eddie was more effective. it will be a small backcourt but one that can score witht he best of them.

last raise your hand if u knew Rondo was our difference maker? Thats the best this team has played in a while and it all started with rondos aggresiveness and dishind to people

*raises hand* I said at the beginning of the year that Rondo is the x-factor for this team. He obviously has come up huge and he continues to get better and better as his confidence grows. I love how he is taking it to the rim and finishing off his layups more often. He's going to be a top PG if he continues to progress at this rate.

I guess I have to raise my hand too. It has been pretty obvious that missing Rondo and him playing hurt has been killing us. When he is healthy he can do a lot for this team. He is one of my favorites and I'm so happy he didn't go in a trade.

The Knicks are so bad. I have no idea how they win games. They are comprised of every kid from the Y who isn't good enough to talk trash but still does. It's so funny that Quentin Richardson of all people thinks he can stand toe to toe with the likes of Paul Pierce. Granted, Pierce should've just left his game talk, but everyone knew that game was over with or without Paul. I think everyone in NY is embarrassed by the Knicks except for themselves. It's really quite sad, but humorous at the same time.

Has there ever been an NBA player in worse shape than Eddy McFlurry? I know a lot of WOMEN are pear-shaped, but I've seen air conditioners smaller than his ass...

Damn afternoon games. I wish I could have seen this game. I always love when we beat the knicks. Especially after reading some of their game thread. I cant believe they let someone who is so clueless be a moderator.

The Knick fans on this board are freaking halarious. I skimmed through about 20 pages of the their game thread, and laughed through the whole thing. Lots of idiots over there.

I knew Curry was fat, I knew James was fat but Richardson!?! He looks like he is 30 pounds overweight!

How can a pro basketball player be so out of shape? Unbelievable! The knicks are a joke!

Luckily the C's could play anyone against the Knicks and win. God I hate New York. Everything about it. The city, the people, the teams.
