We talk about all of the Christmas games, especially the Knicks vs. Celtics and Garnett vs. Walker’s neck. We do some of our new segments such as reasons to hate the Heat, reasons to be sad we’re a Knicks fan, he gets paid how much?, nba crossfire, and I can’t believe we got him in the offseason. We debate whether Amar’e should be more of a 3-point shooter. Download Episode 92
A few quick thoughts on the season opener
- Carmelo Anthony is really really good.
- LOVE how D’Antoni had either Anthony or Stoudemire on the court and the other on the bench for much of the game.
- Less Bill Walker and more Renaldo Balkman please. (I can’t believe I just typed that)
- When the PG drives SOMEONE has to check the opposing teams PG.
- Brandon Bass really stepped up. Is he a good player or does the Knicks defense just stink?
- With Imam Shumpert injured get ready to see a lot of Mike Bibby the next two weeks.
- Toney Douglas need to pass a lot more.
- Carmelo Anthony is really really good.
