Back Home Against The Spurs Sunday, The Return JR Swish

God I've been waiting all summer for this...the two of them on the court at the same time is gonna yield...so...much...FUKKERY


JR taking shots from half court instead of passing the rock up...Ron Ron using muay thai elbows on opposing players doing too much

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

First Knicks game I actually am at home to see in a while, and Bargs goes off

 

[23Barrettcity]

Bargs impressed me . Keep it up and it's time to light one up for jr swisher

 

[kurt]

Bargs came to play.... missed most of the game, watching the Uconn game so i didn't see his early work. IF he can keep up this level of play then

Melo with 25 assists

I ain't catch the second half but from the box score it looks like Bargnani dumbed out I hope he keeps it going and proves me and everybody else wrong.

I'm passing out rep for the win.

Holup, nikkas saying this was a game we were supposed to win/inferior competition, but nikkas were saying our team was trash a game ago...against the same damn team?

Y'all realize those two statements don't go together right?

Either we're garbage and any win is great or we're not garbage and we can qualify wins based on what teams we beat

Bargnani helps Knicks exact revenge on Bobcats

“He had that shoot-first mentality,’’ Anthony said. “He had some of the same looks but he wasn’t hesitating, which I like. He was very aggressive on the offensive end tonight. I guess he was tired of hearing [he wasn’t].’’

Coach Mike Woodson said his assistant coaches gave Bargnani a pep talk at the morning shootaround.

“I’m still trying to learn him as a coach,’’ Woodson said. “I told our coaches, hell, he needs to speak up and talk more and act like he’s a part of this. He was pretty good tonight. He can’t be a tease because I’m going to expect that from him every time.’’

Bargnani and Anthony combined for 53 points as the Knicks moved to 2-3. They also have played their last game without J.R. Smith, who will make his season debut in a Sunday matinee against San Antonio after serving a five-game marijuana suspension.

Who would have thought that Bargnani could play successfully at the 5?

Toronto...


Seriously though, this should improve his confidence. There is no going back to being shy on offense. Whatever he took before the game, he needs to continue, until he get's tested.

On another note, Melo is going to up his game now. He never lets himself gets upstaged on his own squad so I expect him to keep focused. He is also seeing the positive effect of being a vocal leader. He lead by example and communicated.

Woodson: Knicks won’t add center

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Mike Woodson confirmed The Post’s report the Knicks would stand pat and not add a center in light of Tyson Chandler’s broken leg that will keep him out 4-to-6 weeks.

Woodson said centers are “scarce’’ and the club will wait for the D-League to start before deciding on anything, claiming there wasn’t any center out there of note.

“You can always cut and get a big but bigs are scarce. It’s hard to find them. If you know of any let me know.’’

The Knicks don’t want to cut J.R. Smith’s brother, Chris, right now until the D-League starts and he will have a place to land. He will play at their D-League affiliate in Erie whether he’s part of the 15-man roster or not. He’s already pocketed his $491,000 guarantee so they want him with the club as a practice player too.

Melo has a chemistry with Bargs that he never had with STAT.
