The Knicks start off 8-1, since then are 1-3 with only one of those losses coming against a team that's above .500 and their only win coming against the team with the 2nd worst record in the NBA.

Hopefully for Knick fans, they didn't just have an abnormally hot start and are coming back down to earth as the Knicks we've become accustomed to in recent years.

This game showed how important Kidd is to the team, the ball movement was awful the majority of the game. And also, this 1-3 run should put an end to the "Amar'e should come off the bench" comments, I was one of those supporting that and now I look like an idiot. Can't wait for Shump to come back too

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Where Chandler "MVP" Parsons reigns.

Statement by Skiles to leave the 5 in there for the whole 16 minutes, even down the stretch and when we needed free throws. I know this is nothing new but the Bucks would be THAT much better if Jennings and Ellis were able to play atleast some sort of defense. Of course Jennings is going to lead the league in steals when he gambles every play. RIP HAMILTON has had his way with us these last 2 games, come on.

Why is everyone jumping off the Knicks so quickly? 9-4. Their losses; 10 points @ Memphis, hardly embarrassing considering the Grizzlies are a legit contender. 3 points at Dallas the same story, not an easy place to win. And then they've just taken the Nets to OT in Brooklyn. Their only BAD game all season was the blowout loss to the Rockets which they redeemed the following night by smashing Detroit.

Coaches really should do that more, unless of course the guys start getting too tired, but when your bench is the one kicking ass and getting you back into the game then there really is no reason to sub any of them out.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Where Chandler "MVP" Parsons reigns.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Jazz need to trade one of Jefferson & Millsap. There's no reason to have two high potential prospects like Favors & Kanter not getting proper minutes. At least let one of them start. Anyway, this Jazz/Nuggets game going on right now is pretty entertaining.

Btw, tonight Anderson Varejao had 15 points, 22 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals. He's currently averaging 14 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. If Varejao can maintain a high level of play, why not Varejao for the ASG?

Right now other center looks to be All-Star caliber in the East except for Bosh. Bynum hasn't even played and isn't playing anytime soon, KG has had an average year, Hibbert has had a mediocre year, Lopez really hasn't been that spectacular. It would be robbery if Varejao is still averaging around 14/14/3/2 on efficient shooting numbers around ASB and doesn't make it.

Center isn't a position for the all star ballots anymore. It's forwards and guards.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Where Chandler "MVP" Parsons reigns.

That's only for voting for starters and it's guards and three frontcourt players (forwards/centers).

There's no way Varejao gets voted in as a starter, which is why I was talking about him being a reserve.

Hell, the starting lineups for both teams are both pretty much all locked up:
Rondo/Wade/LeBron/Melo/Bosh (Slight chance Deron gets voted in over Rondo)
CP3/Kobe/Durant/Griffin/Dwight (Slight chance Lin gets voted in over CP3)

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Where Chandler "MVP" Parsons reigns.

Maybe I'm one of the few people that thinks this, but small is ridiculous and an absolute disgrace to the game to play for full games. I'm looking entirely at the Heat, but they can win with it so whatever, but to implent it into the all star game just because of some ridiculous bullshit that there isn't enough good centers today is annoying the fuck out of me. It's not that there isn't a good amount of good centers that could be allstars, it's the fact that they aren't as marketable as guards/SFs. Players that don't deserve to be getting in have been for years and what does the NBA do about it? Absolutely nothing, instead they get rid of the center position so guys like Love can get in at the expense of a good center and so guys like Griffin will still get in even though they don't deserve it.

The reason the NBA changed the rule in their words isn't because lack of centers per-say but it's because of them not knowing how to classify guys as centers. For example, Tim Duncan has been classified as a forward in the All-Star ballots for years now despite the fact that he's been the Spurs staring center for like the past 3 or 4 seasons. KG would've likely been classified as a forward on the ballot despite the fact he would've been the Celtics starting center for a second straight season. Chris Bosh would've likely been classified as a forward on the ballot despite being the Heat's starting center, etc., etc.

For that reasoning I do kind of agree with, however it could've easily been resolved them by them moving Bosh, KG, Duncan, etc. to the center ballots since that's the position they start at.

What you guys are failing to realize is that centers can still make it in the ASG and nothing has changed as far as selecting reserves go. The changing from forwards and centers to frontcourt players is only for the starting ballot. There's no chance in hell Love will get more votes than any one of Durant, Dwight or Griffin. But to the same token, now we get a guy like Chris Bosh getting a well-deserved chance to be able to start in the ASG instead of having a guy like Andrew Bynum get voted in just because he's the most popular guy classified as a center and not deserving it this season. Maybe a change to this rule earlier would've prevented Yao Ming from having a couple of his undeserved ASG appearances, who knows?
