Knicks talk back

This is a NY Knicks forum. This isn't a LA Lakers forum. If you knew something about bb which you don't, then you can talk. This forum already has enough ppl that don't anything about BB. Example: The Knicks wanted to get superstars! Superstars don't equal a Championship!! If you remember your Lakers had Wilt, Baylor and West. How many Championships -> None!!!
See fans like yourself and other feel as though they have no recourse but to go along with management. I from a different mindset. Complain in forum, newspaper and anything that may get back to them. I wrote in the NY Post and Daily News everyday. The word 'Cancer' that was associate with Marbury and Isiah came from 'Guest Who'. It was until those in doubt began to believe what I was saying. Then everybody started calling them 'Cancer'. You can sit on you hands and not do anything but after 30 something years you lose blood flow in your hands.
Find something to talk about that you have knowledge of(Lakers maybe!!). Stay out the Knicks fans business. We have enough problems without a Lakers Fan.

So wait a min, are you telling me that since you complained to the newspapers, Ny Post and Daily News the Knicks got rid of Marbury and Isiah? So your constant complaing got those 2 out of there? Lmao haahahahahahahaahahaha now that's funny. You can't be serious when you say that. Also how come everytime someone doesn't agree with what you say it's always end with you saying you know nothing about BB? You say that stars don't win championships? I undersatnd that, but the point I was making since you know so much is the fact that it nver hurts to have a star or two to build around. Yes roles players are very important when winning a title, but like I said it never hurts to have a star or stars in your pocket. Dude it seems like no matter what the Knicks do you will always complain no matter what. So why watch them play if you think they will never get better? I know this is not a L.A. forum, but I can go anywhere I want because I'm a basketball fan. I always respcted the Knicks franchise and had much respect for Ewing. If you want to talk BB then lets talk about BB. Lets start with your love for Zach. You still didn't answere my questin when I asked you was he better than Amare and Melo. I hope you don't think he is because if you do then your BB knowledege is not up to par.

<quoted text>Ricky hates people who makes sense, this fool thinks that if he complains everyday for the next 30 years things will change, what the fool doesn't understand that it is just entertainment, and really who cares what he thinks. Personally I'm excited every year to watch what my team does, regardless of how sad a life Ricky has, just remember it just entertainment. Maybe one day before Ricky lays his head down for the last time he'll have a opportunity to enjoy what we have been enjoying for years, actually I fell sorry for the fella.

If he keeps that up, then he will be complaning from the grave lol. I can't live like that because I would be miserable. That goes back to what I said before about fans getting to personal with ceratin players and coaches. Just because a team may lose or what ever the case may be doesn't mean it's a life or death sitaution. Every frachise will go through a period where they don't win and rebuilding. You are a good fan because you watch no matter what. I saw that he wasn't on here when they were winning, but on here complain when they were losing. Lol Ricky seems to be doing things backwards. I can't wait until next season because it will be a full 82 game season and changes will happen for the Lakers and Knicks.

No one asked you to predict the future. No one asked you to changed the past. It was your opinion on the 'State of the Knicks' and 'What changes should be made. The above post is again you way of dodging your level of BB knowledge. I guess you 'Check Out' again when it comes to something you don't want to face. You can't stand facts that I have been right about the things I have posted. That just really bother you!!! Every year I would post my opinions on what is going to happen with the Knicks. You would then reply to my post and disagree with most of the post. Look if your opinions prove to be wrong then what NEW!! Management has been wrong for the past 30 some years and you have gone along with them. You talk about your knowledge of BB but when it comes time to show it,'Chicken OUT'.
Ryder this is person you have followed. You posted an opinion on the state of the Knicks and should happen in the future. This should tell you something about his character.

Okay, let me understand your request you want my opinion on the state of the Knicks. They will continue to flounder around .500 for the next 3 years, maybe getting to the 2nd round but no further. Several months ago I said Melo and Amare can't win together, even though you claimed I never complained about either player. I called Melo a chucker and Amare was just a makeup call for not getting Lebron signed. These statements aren't new, btw look them up when you find time. Ricky now its your turn to enlighten us, CAN'T WAIT.

Ricky you admit mgt has been wrong for 30 years, but you fail to indict the Dolan family. If you find the time could you answer why?

NEWS FLASH!! I posted it would take at least 3 to 5 years for the Knicks to get over the mess made by 'Daddy Walsh' and 'Jungle Dan'. That post was made when they were hired and during the last 4 years. Never heard you mention anything like that until now. Are you going back reading my post from when they were hired to see what I said?

Let do this go back and look at your post on the signing of Amare' and Melo. Give the page # and date that you posted. This will prove you thought Amare' was a 'makeup call' and that Melo was a 'Chucker'. Tell me exactly when you knew that they couldn't win together? Remember Melo has been with the Knicks over 1 1/2year when you had that revelation. Anybody worth there salt would have known that this wasn't a good move(get Melo) but neither was Amare'.
You also said that 'Daddy Walsh' & 'Jungle Dan' would win a championship and then I would see who's smarter. Do you remember posting that???

So you think that makes you smarter, great if that makes you feel superior, you're the smartest man on knicks topix, I think you're an idiot.

<quoted text>Not really, Melo is a scorer who has to take a lot of shots and plays no defense. BTW the new CBA could really effect how they build the roster.

Did I say that

reddevil76 wrote:

<quoted text>If you recall I mention way back that Melo was just a chucker, or as they say volume shooter. I like Chaunceys leadership, but you're right the coach has no idea.

March 1st 2011

That was a reponse to your post, Melo might have been there one week.

Time is not on the Knicks side this year, I hated the trade, we are back to being a one demensional cap out team with no chance of being better then what they are now win one lose one team.

March 4th 2011 my quote

reddevil76 wrote:

<quoted text>The defense has to double down against bigger players, good passing big men like Duncan, Garnett, Gasol, abuse them, and Howard simply over powers them. I love Billups, but quicker guards which Chicago, Boston, and Orlando employ makes it even tougher to stop penetration and easy layups or big men flushing. Lastly 5 games in shows that Melo and Stats don't mesh, they both require time with the ball,at the Y its called hogging, have you notice the difference in production of Fields,he seems to be forcing because he is not in the flow because of the ball stops now instead of the quick passing game that he excels in. Moving forward into next season they need to find big bodies to do the dirty work and depend on the volume shooters to do what they do, which has been top 10 in scoring and no rings.

March 2011 2 weeks of melo and amare playing together

<quoted text>Who cares, it was a black eye for everyone involved. I got a chance to watch Zack on TNT or ESPN the other night, I will admit he played well, but I think he has superior talent around him in Memphis, don't think his play would have elevated the team to any extra wins if he had stayed in NY. I'm sure he's happier now, and the trade has really boosted his earning power for the next contract.

april l5th 2010 I believe I was on point

<quoted text>Only because it didn't cost draft picks, and no return on that investment. I still have no problem with Randolph trade, his contract is up after this season, lets see where he lands, and is he worth a max contract or contract similar to what Boozer got? The new CBA will change things, but lets see if he garners the attention next year. I watched Howard in Orlando for the last few years, and he still has no offensive skill set besides power dunking, do you think Ewing has done a good job, or is coaching much to do about natural talent? Btw before you mention the pick walsh gave up in 2012 and switching of picks in 2011 which by the way are protected unlike the pick we gave up in the Curry trade, lets wait for the results, instead of already comparing it to a trade that showed no results.

July 2010 lets see if the the 15th pick haunts us this upcoming draft, or was the Curry trade more devastating.

1. Anthony Randolph
2. Turiof
3. Felton
and of course Amare' what is everybody take on these moves. What are your prediction for those players and the upcoming season. I'll give mind last!!

July 2010 your question

reddevil76 wrote:

<quoted text>The same thing Isaid weeks ago, a playoff team, 1st round and out. The same position they were in 2 years ago before they traded Crawford and 20/10. The only difference is they do have flexability to sign free agents.

July 11 2010 my response to your question

Ricky does that cover everything, have a good off season later!!!

Not quite, you forgot Amare'!!! Now give me that same list of post for him that defend you were against signing Amare'.
You know Devil, your posts didn't seen to be against getting Melo but more 'well if we get him fine but I think he's a chucker'. I do see where you said 'I hate the trade'.

There one other thing that bother me. You mention in a post that this was entertainment and nothing else. In another post you said the Knicks would finish the being above .500. That competition!!! You also said that you were excited at the beginning of every year. Ok question, did you give the Knicks any chance to 1. win a playoff series 2. win the conference championship 3. win a championship. So is this entertainment(fantasy no winner or loser: Ex. going to the movie) or competition?? Just explain it to me

THIS IS A COPY/PASTE FROM THE ABOVE POST DEVIL:

Has Amare' play elevated anymore?? Devil, Memphis is suppose to put good or superior players around him. He can't do it by himself. Why couldn't the Knicks get more player around him and Crawford? They were playing over .500 when traded. This bring into question your ability to recognize a.) talent b.) the better player c.) who you can build a team around. Once again, superstars don't always mean championships(Wilt, Baylor and West). Like that LAKER BOY!!
