3 preseason games in, and you cats are already talking about trading cats & tanking :aicmon:. You have to have some patience, this is an entirely new system that they're learning. This is exactly what training camp & the preseason is for. If we can hover around the .500 for the first 20 games off the season, while we work the kinks out with this new system, I'll take that as a plus.

Can't directly quote but you tag two people.

In all seriousness, that's my mistake. It was @Cory MBA that made the bold prediction post comparing this knicks team to the championship bulls team. Not you.

Total error looking at that page, and seeing your name above the post, not in it.


I can't quote from a locked thread... it doesn't let you.


Yours was this:

Bold Prediction: JR Smith ends up starting by December & rivals Lance Stephenson in stats this year.

I'm a lot of things, but not a liar. My fault on that. :to:

As far as the games go... it's way too early to panic.

We always knew the second unit was going to struggle to score, and struggle with the offense. It doesn't have a lot of guys that understand spacing or movement.

We also know that we can't really throw the ball down in the post and get results consistently. so, it is going to take time to create enough movement to get open looks.

We also know that this is not necessarily a team that is going to be great defensively. We replaced an agile defender in the middle, for a more stationary shotblocker. Sam can't hedge on a pick and roll, so he has to wait for the attacking scorers to come TO him. If Melo is playing the 4, then there's downgrade there. Calderon is a sieve, and if Hardaway plays with the starters, there is another guy that doesn't play any defense.

It's a skill set thing. We're going to have to be efficient on offense, and hope teams settle for long jumpers.

Right, a bold prediction thread...


A BOLD prediction thread... where you're supposed to say something close to improbable.

You'd have some credibility if I sated that as a definite.


On the Coli, BOLD in the sense of a thread is defined as Risky & adventurous. It's supposed to be a statement that you wouldn't think normally, but if you HAD to give one what would it be. It was made a bit tongue in cheek. I think you know that, but you have some mission.

Stop reaching, it's tacky.

Kid, relax.

It wasn't a bold prediction thread... it was in the Knicks thread, and you offered a bold prediction.

I seriously give no fukks about how you and other posters rationalize bad opinions. We're in an age where everyone is desperate to feel like they said something first, just to archive it in case it hits like early Macintosh shares. It's not for me.

You were hurt that I misrepresented you, and neg repped me for it. Hopefully that made you feel better.

I apologized and corrected my mistake.

Now, If you want to call me "tacky" on a an message board, while using a profile picture of somebody (presumably yourself or representing yourself) sitting on top of a cool car... well, that is your prerogative.


But maybe you should just leave tacky alone, and try to stick to basketball.

Smoking gun?

Just trying to figure out what the picture was. It comes across distorted next to the posts.

It's not like I went as far as neg repping you, right?

It's a picture of me outside of one of my old stomping blocks in East New York sitting on top of a frame of a Porcshe -14-6.

That's tacky breh? LMAO. It's a picture that means a lot.

This is unbecoming of you. Understand, you're the one on the Coli shooting shots at people. I'm here because I enjoy these people and their opinion. You've already lost this game man.

Just....just stop.

Neg rep has a purpose. I felt you deserved it. You've been low key...and blatantly disrespectful to the brehs in this thread.

And not like in a Coli way of being disrespectul. That's expected...Almost like your personality is really shining through on this site. And it isn't pleasant.

You called me out, tagged me, off of what? A hunch, to paint me as one of the "foolish posters" that you hate?

It's outside of Cypress Houses. A cousin was beat into a Coma around there because he is from Pink Houses. I haven't chilled out there since. It helped me understand what's plaguing my community and my culture, so I didn't want to be apart of that anymore.

I went out there, had a good time & reminisced.

So yea...it does...yea it does. :mjcry:



Oh...back on track....













Go Knicks!
