The XI's are GOAT.

I have the red and black ones, they cost a pretty penny though (if you get the real ones, only ones worth buying)

I had the black and white ones when they were originally released back in the day. Probably played a season in them and threw them out lol

LeBron is going off again at MSG 30/9/9 through 3. Heat are up 90-74. Gallinari was awesome in the first half with 21 points and the game was tied at 57 I think. He has been quiet since the break as has Amar'e.

"Wilson Chandler has the type of game that might develop into one as good as Carmelo Anthony's" -Jalen Rose

Rose is a jackass. It doesnt matter though, Melo will be there soon enough.

Ive always been a fan of Gallo. He was my pick to win MIP before the season last year. I haven't seen the Knicks much this year, but from what I've seen it looks like he's attacking the hoop a lot more this season. He almost had a huge left-handed throwdown tonihgt (he missed... got fouled but it wasn't called).

Chandler on the other hand I'm not a huge fan of. Very talented, but just doesn't seem to have "it" to me. If I'm the Knicks and I have to part with 1 of them to get Melo then Chndler is definitely the one gone.

I am going to assume that its going to take both of them to get Melo, unless the Nuggets really want to cut back salary and take on Curry's expiring. Curry/Gallo/Chandler for Melo works as does Curry/Gallo but not Curry/Chandler.

I don't think the Knicks will be as aggressive now with their offer to the Nuggets, considering Carmelo basically already said he will only be signing a contract with the Knicks. So even if a team has a better offer on the table, they probably wouldn't do it unless Carmelo is willing to sign an extension, which he doesn't seem willing to do. The Knicks can just wait until free agency and sign Carmelo without losing some of their talent.

Only problem is the new collective bargaining agreement could limit the money he can make/how much the Knicks can pay him, so I feel like it's in 'Melo's best interests to be traded during the season.

Disappointing loss to the Heat last night. They're playing extremely well right now though. The Knicks aren't ready for prime time quite yet.......but they don't blow goat dicks and that's a lot of progress.

In a case of it matters what team name is on the front of your jersey: -- Thursday night they call the charge for the Spurs on the Road in the last second to give the Spurs the win --- Tonight Kirk Hinrich gets fouled on the last second of the game vs. Miami ... AT HOME ... and the officials swallow their whistle to give Miami the 1 point win

Funny there was no real argument from Hinrich or the Wizards. 90% of your posts are filled with complaining about refs. Give it up.

Mo Williams hit a floater (again) with 3.7 seconds left to tie the game. Knicks and Cavs headed to OT after Amar'e's shot goes begging at the horn.

Damn, NBAtv just cut back into the Cavs/Knicks game with under a minute left and Cleveland hits 2 straight buckets to open up an 8 point lead. 29.6 seconds left.

Okay is that why even the announcers were saying there was a lot of contact and a few other NBA writers on Twitter saying there was contact as well -- So apparently I'm not the only one who thought so ... There is no point in the players complaining when the clock reads 0:00 anyway -- Hinrich got hit and knocked down. Washington blew the game by throwing the inbounds pass away with under 14 seconds left up 2. Officials still have to call the game correct whether the clock reads 11:59 left in a Quarter or 0:01 left in the game.

The announcers you heard were the Wizards crew. Have you heard a Cavs broadcast with Austin Carr when a questionable call doesn't go Cleveland's way?

I'm not trying to single him out at all. Every team that has a former player or coach as their play by play or color man is guilty of the same thing. Same goes for MLB and I'd assume NFL. I just used Carr because he is likely the most recognized on this board.

That's what I meant...every team is guilty of finding the most unbiased, neutral former player in their history to call games.

Andy played out of his mind tonight, best game I've ever seen from him.

That blonde chick in the black sweater might be the hottest chick I've ever seen at a Cavs game. Camera man couldn't get enough for a minute there.

JaVale McGee had another epic missed dunk tonight BTW. I guess he tried jumping over James Jones from just inside the FT line and came up about 5 feet short of the rim. He was called for an offensive foul as well.
