Knicks @ Sixers game thread

New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers, Mar 15, 2010 4:00 PM PDT


Mike Bourn is running late. He's just now leaving Tyrone Hill's house. They were recording a song for their new album, 'Rone and Me - in stores April 20, 2010. Or he's just stuck in NYC traffic; I can't remember.

Anyway, this is one of the most important games of the season for the Sixers - a rare must lose. Losing is the only chance the Sixers have at WTF (Wall, Turner, Favors). The good news is, the Knicks aren't tanking because their pick is owned by the Jazz. But according to Rodney Carney, the Sixers aren't tanking either. Wink, wink. I think you fooled 'em RC.

I predict the Sixers win this one and shatter my dreams in the process, but a little back-and-forth via Twitter with my boy, bandwagonknick gave me a glimmer of hope. He reminded me that the reason the Knicks won their last match-up with the Sixers was because they went to a "college-zone" and forced the Sixers to shoot from the outside. I don't see why that wouldn't work again, and since D'Antoni seems to know what he's doing, I expect he'll do just that.

Plus, Bill Walker owns.

Update: No Lou Williams (back spasms) or M16 tonight (knee).

Go Sixers!

No Lou means more Kapono and Meeks? Means easier to lose? Or will Jordan play Bill tonight?

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 3:34 PM PDT reply actions  

I have no idea what Eddie Jordan will do. Probably no Kapono or Meeks and 35 minutes of Billy the kid.

The man is a mystery

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 3:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

Never heard of that movie but by the looks of the cover I am better off not having seen it.

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 3:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

yes, very good. he owns the knicks if i remember correctly.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 15, 2010 4:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

Im gonna miss Nate and Lou going at each other. Where did that all start? Did they grow up together?

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 4:10 PM PDT up reply actions  

i’m not sure. i vaguely remember that. i do remember elton and jared jeffries though.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 15, 2010 4:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

It seemed like every time Nate and Lou were on the floor at the same time Nate would talk trash to Lou. Just wondering if they had a history before the NBA.

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 4:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

Lou came right out of Atlanta, Nate went to U-Washington

by Michael Levin on Mar 15, 2010 4:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

dang, elton is on fire. not a good sign.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 15, 2010 4:12 PM PDT reply actions  

He is looking pretty good so far.

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 4:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

If he does well in both games vs. sixers we might have to send him and thank you card.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 15, 2010 4:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ouch. Knocking Knees. Looks painful.

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 4:16 PM PDT reply actions  

if you’ve ever played basketball you know what t-mac is feeling right now. he’ll be on for most of the game i bet.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 15, 2010 4:21 PM PDT reply actions  

He has looked good shooting the three recently

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 4:28 PM PDT up reply actions

damn right. welcome to life as a sixers fan.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 15, 2010 4:34 PM PDT up reply actions  

yup. Dont know what game feed you have but after they ruled that the Knicks bucket did not count because of a shot clock violation the fans booed.

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 4:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

Knicks are doing their best to let us back in the game

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 4:34 PM PDT reply actions  

i don’t like the feel of this game.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 15, 2010 4:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

I’m here! Tyrone wouldn’t let me leave, we kept listening to reruns of the Partridge Family.

Or I was stuck in traffic from New York, I can’t remember.

by Michael Levin on Mar 15, 2010 4:38 PM PDT reply actions  

Kapono is going to kill us tonight.

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 4:41 PM PDT reply actions  

When I want the sixers to lose, Jason Kapono is like a ray of sunshine

by Michael Levin on Mar 15, 2010 4:43 PM PDT reply actions  

I guess Jrue didn’t get the memo that we need to lose.

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 4:45 PM PDT reply actions  

Green is the high man in the game

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 4:53 PM PDT reply actions  

willie green

is the bane of my existence.

by saveourbluths on Mar 15, 2010 4:56 PM PDT reply actions  

Sam Dalembert

is surprisingly articulate, considering Al Harrington taught him English

Brad James

by the new Bradfather on Mar 15, 2010 4:56 PM PDT reply actions  

I’m not sure if this is factual or humorous.

by Michael Levin on Mar 15, 2010 4:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ha! That made my day…I think

by Dalanel on Mar 15, 2010 5:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

Nothing I like more than a stagnant offense!

by Michael Levin on Mar 15, 2010 5:03 PM PDT reply actions  

To much Kapono not enough Meeks.

by Uiruru on Mar 15, 2010 5:04 PM PDT reply actions  

Too much Bill Green, not enough Meeks

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 5:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

Hmm. The theme is to play meeks i guess. I agree,what do we have to lose?

by Dalanel on Mar 15, 2010 5:17 PM PDT up reply actions  

they need to find out if he can play so why not put him in.

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 5:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

Meeks and Holiday. Our rookie backcourt of the future! (not really)

by Dalanel on Mar 15, 2010 5:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

we are not in any way affiliated with the Philadelphia 76ers.

i love the lottery and to your “why doncha marry it” question, we have religious differences.

by Michael Levin on Mar 15, 2010 5:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

i only partially understand what that means.

meant no offense however. sixers playing surprisingly well tonight. i suppose the knicks’ defense brings out the best in everyone.

by Ray Smuckles on Mar 15, 2010 5:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

I love Dalembert having a 4 inch size advantage and fading away on his post up move

by Michael Levin on Mar 15, 2010 5:33 PM PDT reply actions  

Holy cow! That was sick Iggy!

by Dalanel on Mar 15, 2010 5:40 PM PDT reply actions  

Ok 4th quarter baby. Let’s make it count. Go sixers-i mean knicks!

by Dalanel on Mar 15, 2010 5:51 PM PDT reply actions  

how many more years is on willie greens contract?

by TheGrizz on Mar 15, 2010 6:02 PM PDT reply actions  

PLayer option next year, i think….

by CPaulin on Mar 15, 2010 6:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

Hopefully Iguodala goes 1 for 2 from the line

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 6:12 PM PDT reply actions  

Or 0 for 2. Thats even better

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 6:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

and Jrue negates that

by Ben16 on Mar 15, 2010 6:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

Holiday is the only bright spot this season. Too bad i’m not as excited as I should be.

by Dalanel on Mar 15, 2010 6:15 PM PDT reply actions  

As long as Iguodala continues to take 3’s I feel really good about the tanking chances for the rest of the season.

by Uiruru on Mar 15, 2010 6:17 PM PDT reply actions  

Signs are good, fellas.

by CPaulin on Mar 15, 2010 6:18 PM PDT reply actions  

I was actually nervous about the sixers pulling one out. I shouldve known better.

by Dalanel on Mar 15, 2010 6:19 PM PDT reply actions  

Is that the newage Jefferson’s theme song?

by Michael Levin on Mar 15, 2010 6:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah baby! I’ll be singing that in the shower.

by Dalanel on Mar 15, 2010 6:23 PM PDT up reply actions  

We’re moving on down
It’s a free fall
We have one of the worst records in basketball
We’re moving on down
It’s a free fall
For a slightly better chance at John Wall

ummm we need to put that to some music.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 15, 2010 7:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

Don’t look to me. My talents consist of “rhyming” and not “singing”

by yosoysean on Mar 15, 2010 7:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

LOL where’s John at? Iguodala scored 14 and grabbed 17 boards and was still -20? What a reliable stat!

by Jordan Sams on Mar 15, 2010 7:17 PM PDT reply actions  

He hasn’t been here in at least a week. Conspiracy theory that Derek is John?!

by Michael Levin on Mar 15, 2010 7:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

His disappearance is related to my appearance, but not in that way.
