GameDay Knicks
| Tonight's Projected Starters | ||
|---|---|---|
| Knicks | vs. | Wizards |
| Chris Duhon | PG | Randy Foye |
| Wilson Chandler | SG | Mike Miller |
| Danilo Gallinari | SF | Caron Butler |
| Jared Jeffries | PF | Antawn Jamison |
| David Lee | C | |
I chatted with Larry Hughes (with other writers, of course) before tonight's game. Hughes talked a lot about Gilbert Arenas and his future here. I'll type it up after the game.
Flip Saunders was brief before tonight's game, saying that last night's game won't go to the Hall of Fame and repeating that the players who play best on the court will play, regardless of status.
Otherwise, that's all.
GO WIZARDS!

"...and repeating that the players who play best on the court will play, regardless of status. "
If this was true why did he put Antawn and Caron back in last night at the most crucial point of the game?
There are maybe 500 people here

All the press seats are taken...
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
There are a lot of Knicks fans here
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Gotta check 82games at some point to see percentages
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Last year, Lee was at 32% jumpers
So they’re definitely up this year.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
It's obviously not showing tonight
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Good play by the starters
They’re playing like they’re pissed about last night.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.

I was going to say, it's news when he isn't struggling with his shot
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
yeah that's what makes jeffries jeffries
not that he’s not a valuable player in some ways. just not shooting.

what a difference talent and experience makes
I see hints of what D’Antoni ran with the Suns, but these guys don’t quite have it yet.
Yeah
I’m honestly impressed they’re even 18-27.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Blatche
actually looked to put a body on Jeffries, and boxed him out on that defensive rebound…..
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
Who are THESE guys?
Boxing out…. contesting shots….. moving without the ball…. passing…. helping on Defense…. setting good screens….
This can’t be the Wizards team I’ve been following all year….
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
wiz definitely looking really good
but the knicks will make you look like this when they aren’t hitting shots.

good.
he’s exactly the kind of guy the wiz would let get hot and crush them

yeah but that's ALL he does
and the wiz would let him do it

Ball stopped moving…. players stopped moving…. Offense stopped moving
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
They should put a chainlink fence around the court tonight
‘cause this game’s playground.
Any minute now, Blatche’s mom is going to yell, “Andray, get your butt in the house!!”
Miller has to take that 3 at the top of the key
The machup zone has thrown them off a bit, but they still have to take open shots.
I think taking out Foye changed the game...
He and Miller were really moving the basketball….
Then Boykins came in……
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
I'm just surprised how well Hill is moving without the ball
I haven’t been able to watch the Knicks much, but he seems decent for a rookie.
he has looked ok tonight
i think knocks fans are upset at how little pt. he gets

The zone has completely changed the game
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
or a team that comes down court fast - before the defense gets set.....
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
The last 8 Wiz points came on the break - or semi-fast break
or on secondary (trailer) plays….
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
Yeah, they're getting shots quicker
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Wow. Where did THAT 12-1 run come from?
by WizChick on Jan 30, 2010 9:27 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Butler just not playing with ANY confidence...
Passed up an open shot at the free throw line , to pass the ball – Turn Over…
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
Caron’s game has been almost non-existent this season. Maybe he needs to return to his diet of Mountain Dew.
by WizChick on Jan 30, 2010 9:37 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
This team seems to play better at a faster pace...
Not necessarily scoring on fast breaks every play…. but getting down court fast seems to keep the players moving…. even if they don’;t shoot the ball early in the shot clock…
When they walk the ball up the court, the team seems to stagnate;
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
To be fair, it's the Knicks
But yes, I’m convinced their ability to push the ball this quarter has been a huge key.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I'm just following along on espn.com?
has Miller really hit like 5 in a row
yeah - not even close

New York's defensive rebounding is very bad
David Lee’s a good rebounder, but he’s not the type that’ll control the defensive boards all by himself by occupying other players.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
and how great is it to see the Wizards as the team with more 3-pointers made?
Wiz are 10-17 from (thanks to Miller, Young and Foye) – while NY, who likes to shoot the 3 are only 5-17
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
to be fair
Jamison passed Nick the ball with only 7 seconds left….. NO ONE else moved…. and Nick had to create something….
He’s probably rusty (creating shots)….
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
Who brought Nick Young off the bench?
Miller hits yet another threeeeee!
by WizChick on Jan 30, 2010 9:45 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Ut oh
The Wizards are giving NY opportunities…
by WizChick on Jan 30, 2010 9:47 PM EST via mobile reply actions
WOW
Blatche got a call…. He NEVER gets that charging call….
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
Did Nate Robinson really try to post up Earl Boykins?
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
No play for Mr. Gray!

It was very disorienting to see in person
I felt like going up to him and being like “So, Clyde, what. the. fuck.” I decided not to.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I don't know why he was passing it when he's so hot
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
So
who else thinks Mike James will be dealt to NY for Jeffries?

It that a possible trade or sarcasm? Just curious..

Well - obviously
the Wiz would want something else in return… a draft pick, or a young player….
NY wants to shed Jeffries salary -
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
WTF man!
That’s three in a row now. Come on, Wiz!

by WizChick on Jan 30, 2010 10:10 PM EST via mobile reply actions
