Mouse At the top of the KnicksKnacks discussion board is a thread entitled CUSTOMIZING YOUR PROFILE. In that thread are instructions for uploading an image to a free photo hosting site like photobucket.com. Basically it works like this: Copy the image you want to your computer by either right or left clicking your mouse (depending on the configuration and OS system of your computer) and then saving the image to your computer or by clicking and dragging the image off the website to your computer desktop. Then upload the image to photobucket.com. When you have uploaded the image you click on it and you will see a box that says SHARE YOUR IMAGE and in that Share Your Image box is a DIRECT LINK URL box with the URL (location) of the image. Click on that and the URL is automatically copied. Paste that URL into your post and apply the image tags (When you hit POST REPLY instead of QUICK REPLY you get all the posting tools). The IMAGE tag in the toolbar looks like a little picture. When you click it after highlighting the Direct Link URL you should see brackets and img at either end of the highlighted URL and you now have an image in your post.  |

Thanks mouse and that was the exact picture from the post I was talking about. thank you for searching. And to all who asked me how the Post is what it is, I only tried to answer as honestly as possible. I know the subject was on Ramon Sesssions who I hope we had but the point is I dont trust the basketball sources in that rag like Vecsey and Berman because they often dont know what they are talking about AND they also dont care for the Knicks too much and bash them every chance they get. I dont wanna negative stuff all the time on my favorite team whether warranted or unwarranted.
With that said, Irish once agaain my bad for answering you and Ken's question and I won't mention the mighty NY Post again. I just can't stand ignorance.

the cartoon depicted a chimpanzee, bc ,(you cleverly left that out) was when that chimp went crazy mutilating that lady. quit crying and have fun reading the ny times which has become one of the most intellectually dishonest newspapers around, perhaps why it is going bankrupt. very funny that the cartoon was right on the money with that stimulus fiasco.

Axios please no one is whining, least of all about this stupid newspaper. Relax yourself.
Onto Ramon Sessions............. Walsh is currently in a holding pattern for Sessions because it is widely believed he is bidding against himself. But he should just obtain the offer sheet and see where it goes. This will soften the blow of possibly losing Nate the Great in free agency. Nate's explosive and often inventive scoring will be missed and if there were an inexpensive way to keep him here without costing us good cap space then he'd be nice with a second unit behind whomever we acquire in the next two seasons.

Real GM is reporting that the Knicks have dropped interest in pursuing Sessions. I wonder why? Is Rubio becoming available or Jamaal Tinsley. I would have thought a youngster like Sessions would have made the most sense, unless the report is off-base.

I think that New York is coming close to resigning Nate Robinson to the one year QO, but with an extra million thrown in from what I read today. This may have a direct impact on the Sessions' situation, although, according to the Milwaukee sports writer's twitter, NY is still very much interested in Ramon. IMHO, it makes all the sense in the world to get a young 23 year old PG who is NOT a one year rental, but rather a player who fits in with the team's core. Neither Andre Miller nor Jamaal Tinsley fit that bill or any other bill, for that matter. Tinsley may come dirt cheap, but that's about all the positives I can say about him and his antics. Miller will cost us Duhon, and is just a rental for one year. Donnie is then left with Toney Douglas for the summer of 2010 as the Knicks ONLY PG. I can only hope that Rubio is signed and traded to NY, at this point and that the Knicks money is spent on this player. |

I have not seen much of Sessions so I can't get excited.
he better be significantly better than Duhon who is a decent backup
for any of us to be excited.
Tinsely? Another guy another team labeled a POX and would not let near the rest of the squad,
didn't we have a guy like that?

Bill I think Miller will be a better tutor than Sessions and Douglas for Rubio and Miller can't shoot like Rubio so he can learn all the short game that Miller has.Miller is more expensive because he's better.We can't be cheap with talent we tried to steal Kidd and that didn't workout,getting Miller is a score the man has a great game and he blocks a few shots something our point haven't done in decades.I understand that he can't run but he has moves and gets free he doesn't need to be fast and we have N8 to lead the fast breaks,N8 will be back and hopefully he will win back all you Knicks fans,I'm pulling for the guy he's a good kid with a great heart and he does need to be harness which is testing our patience but so is Ill Will with his mistakes but these guys with more time IMO will dominate the game in time.N8 is great.I know I'm in minority but I love N8 toughness as a player something we lack and can use more off like Mace in your face .I think you will come around ,N8 shooting was awesome till he ran into a bad long slump but he was till that point having a great year after a great vegas efford.All we are saying is give N8 a chance,imagine there no turnovers,all we are saying is give N8 a chance,Beatles on my mind LOL.

The back pages of the New york papers have allways tried something snappy,I meet Bill Gallo the cartonist and I though he had the coolest job of making one cartoon a day for a living,he makes it large they reduce it for the paper,the whole media is bias you have deciffer the news,at one time Vesey was good but now he's been craps for over ten years and Berman is the worst we have had a few shots at each other,I get the sportspyder and get all versions and then make my own opinion.But I must admit growing up going into the Daily News Building was like where Louis Lane and Jimmy Olsen I loved it.I fixed the computer graphic systems when they went on strike a few years back and I was a heroe for fixing the problem and the City News went out.I meet some form all three papers there and it was very cool to be on top od the world for a day LOL,I meet a women too very skinny but hot,the perks LOL

Hey Rene... I love Nate, and believe it or not, I was somewhat happy to hear that he wants to remain a Knick. My issue is with the PG position post-2009-10. Duhon falls off the cap next summer and if Donnie Walsh signs Nate to a one year, $4,000,000 offer for this year alone, he too, is no longer a Knick. This means that Toney Douglas is the only Knick player who can play point, and this is based on a few Vegas games. Andre Miller would be great mentor to any young PG. But, with Sessions, I feel like Walsh would have solidified our young core group of Chandler, Gallo, Hill, Lee, and Milicic. I am thinking past this year, and perhaps another deal is in the works. I know Walsh is a crafty GM and I think his patience will pay off, particularly with David Lee and Nate Robinson. But, is Robinson the PG of the future Knicks? I know the kid has skills, and is a super scorer, but I never felt he was an adequate play maker. Maybe this is the year Nate puts it together and becomes a leader on the floor? |

Ken N8 has issues with his game he's small for one thing and talls can post up but we have better help Dee now with Darko and Hill IMO,N8 is electric off the bench probably can be the best 6th man in history,sure that's a role but if he's great at that role why not used him there,we have a great shooter in N8 and he can allways get his shot,in has improved defensively but regressed later in the year,he is total heart and if we harness his powers he can dominate games for 20 minute clips ,I can live with that for 4 per for 5 years.N8 is great man.He simply awesome,some rebounds he gets it's like he's 6 10.

Hey Rene... I see that you have put up Krypto-Nate on your profile pic--awesome! I think you'll be happy to know that NY will be signing Nate to a one year, $5,000,000 contract. I think the fact that Nate is being rewarded for a hell of a season last year with Walsh going $2 million above the qualifying offer is good for Robinson, and I think the fact that Donnie is obviously trying to break the Knick trend of signing long-term contracts e.g. Jerome James, Eddy Curry, Q-Tip, is better for the fans, the organization, and, IMHO, the player. With just a one year deal, I expect that Nate will play his best ball ever and he will still be an aggressive player, but will strive for emotional control on the court. Nate is actually one of the Knicks I have the fewest problems with. While his size is certainly an issue, it also works to his advantage, as he is probably one of, if not the fastest player in the NBA. There are nights that I do not think ANYONE can stop Robinson from scoring 30 plus points, grabbing rebounds, blocking shots (I don't think Calvin Murphy ever blocked a shot in his entire career), or making some of the most creative passes to his team mates, especially Wilson Chandler. Nate's team mates love him, the fans love him, management loves him most of the time, and I think that other teams were frightened off by New York's ability to match any offer Robinson may have received. Here's my problem with Nate. I know that he can play PG and has the skill--in fact, I think that if he would implement play making into his overall game, he would be the Knicks starting point. Nate maintains his dribble, stays in the middle of the court, breaks down defenses better than any 5'8 guy I've ever seen play professional ball, and has so many opportunities to pass off to a team mate since he draws double teams on a regular basis, but he tends to drive to the hoop and look for the spectacular play. In fact, he does this nearly 95% of the time, and his 4 other team mates are left scratching their heads... Robinson is not selfish--I think he feels that he has to prove himself each and every time out by taking the team upon his shoulders. However, what happens then, is Nate becomes out of control, often to the point of D'Antoni needing to waste a time-out just to get Robinson out of the game. If Nate can learn how to play team ball and not "me against the world", he has the potential to be a true star in this league. While his size may hurt him down on the blocks, his quickness and speed should help him have better steal numbers than he has and Nate can literally exhaust his man by playing better defense, like Muggsy Bogues used to do. Bogues was 5 inches shorter than Nate, not nearly as athletic, but was much better defender who hounded his man into frustration. I use Bogues as an example of where Nate must improve as a player. Nate has God-given gifts that players like Muggsy and Calvin Murphy did not have. Murphy, if I'm not mistaken, is in the Hall of Fame, because he knew what he could do and what he couldn't do. Nate can be a better play maker and a better defender. What I believe frustrates Knick management is that Robinson simply doesn't show a willingness to incorporate these elements into his otherwise fantastic game. I've never seen a player as freakishly athletic as Nate Robinson. However, he will eventually not be able to do what he does, for players age, get injured, and get smarter. Nate needs to evolve his mental conceptualization of basketball. When and if he does, he will be a better and more effective player. |
