I f**king hate the Knicks.
Been so great watching them be hopeless over the last few seasons. Shame they have picked up they're act a bit this year.

 

[strider]

yeah a knicks game at MSG would be worth it

I don't think they are good teams - both middle of the league type teams, but as already said it would be a good matchup - the knicks are certainly better this year than last .... melo is on the decline a bit i think, but will still be the best on court if not injured by then - lol

that rookie latvian dude haynzey mentioned will probably be best reason to watch ... he keeps going the way he is, he might be a big name one day

pistons have a beast at C ... drummond is averaging nearly 20 rpg this season - which is way ahead of anyone else in the league - I assume no other merkin on the piston bothers to try and rebound

plus you will get to see an aussie ... pistons backup C - aaron baynes

Does anyone know if this would be worth while seeing ? I can get 4 tix average seats for $US165 each. Courtside are 10 times that. :shock: Pricey but I would pay if these teams were world class and not nuffies. Yeah I know nothing about basketball. The last game I saw Carfino played for the Kings.



PS Alternative is to see Harlem Globe Trotters at MSG for $US40.

Just make sure that you don't go up to the doorman at your hotel and say 'How about them Knicks?'

 

[Bigfella]

If you like MSG you should pop in to Tingha Palace when you are back

What about nose bleed seats to see LA Lakers vs Pheonix Suns ?

Aussie, Aaron Baynes plays for Detroit, I have been to a few games at MSG when with clients in the past, good place to go and say you have been there. Reasonable atmosphere , but if the Knicks play poorly, there are more than a few interesting comments 😀😀
Always in a very heavv Bronx accent
Almost like being at Pirtek in the more recent past, except for the accent, probably not the most pc either

Do it! Knicks vs Pistons at MSG will be awesome...and I don't care for either of those teams. I watched the most boring game of baseball at Dodger Stadium and it was still fun. The NBA will be awesome!

lakers are coming last so far this season ... kobe is an old man .... lets call it a rebuilding year

suns aren't going so good either ... they are permenantly rebuilding

i reckon the knicks game would probably be the better option

Do it Gronk. MSG with the Knicks is a unique experience (Globe trotters is rock and wrestling crap)
Both teams are top 8 contenders this season. Detroit have an Aussie (who will play 10 minutes only). Will be close. And when the chants of Por-zin-gis start coming down from the rafters you will definitely get a shiver down the spine.

Lakers will lose by 20. Kobe Bryant will spend the whole game chucking up long jumpers while guarded by 3 people, and will hit maybe 7 from 30. It will be HARD work to watch.

Last in their conference, yeah.
But last overall would the Philadelphia. They are yet to win a game this season.

 

[T.S Quint]

I've seen the Lakers play at the Staples Centre.
What a fantastic sporting arena that is. Was a good game too - Kings put up a good fight.

Philly would probably struggle in the NBL as well.

I hope that merkins like this are referred to as Christian Terrorists. I don't see the word terrorist anywhere on the interweb however. I bet if he was muslim ...

Three people have been killed after a gunman armed with a rifle stormed a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs and opened fire before an hours-long standoff with police ended when he surrendered.

Well, someone told me the other day that all terrorists are Muslim. So this bloke clearly can't be a terrorist.

How do you know he is a Christian Gronk?
I didn't read that in the linked article or are you just assuming because he is a white American with something possibly against abortion that he is Christian?

 

[strider]

well someone told me terrorists don't do things in the name of religion - so clearly he can't be a christian

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

The more I think about it, the more obvious it is the he's a WSW fan.

Might as well just call everyone who kills someone a terrorist then?

I'm doing f**k all today.
