    Stupid play by Meyers and totally unnecessary. Guessing someone talked to him.



    Earns respect from me for that tweet more than the dumbass play

    I am guessing he got a little "leadership" from Dame in the locker room.

    For being such a bad defender Meyers commits more fouls than just about any player I've seen play basketball.

    Maybe this is what Jimmer was talking to Dame about after the game?

    When the winning team takes a turn over instead of shooting it with a few seconds to go.......you don't fucking take the ball and attack the basket. Not sure why Leonard needs to apologize to Jimmer, seems like it should be the other way around. D league or not, the Jimmer should know basketball etiquette by now. Regardless, Meyers did nothing he needed to apologize for IMO.

    Usually I'd agree, but in this case the crowd had been chanting his name all half, the guy is on a ten day contract, just let him shoot, who cares anyways? It didn't have to be a deal at all.

    He drives us all nuts at times, but it really is hard to dislike Meyers.

    I dont see a problem shooting at the end of a game. I also dont have a problem fouling the fuck out of someone at the end of a game

    There you go.

    The game is 48 minutes.

    Fans don't get a refund for minutes not played. Until all of our players get that attitude, a title is beyond our reach.

    Or they could run down the clock normally and that play never happens. But, lets not let that be a factor or anything.

    yep. the fans were chanting for jimmer, he wanted to hit a shot. i dont have a problem with it just like i didnt care when batum hit a 3 on san antonio to get his triple double. san antonio lost that game regardless, we won last night regardless. meyers fouled him because they had just taken a shot clock violation so not to embarrass them more, then jimmer wanted to hit a shot, meyers checked him, i don't have a problem with that either. sends a message to the league we dont give freebies. as a fan at the game i would have enjoyed the last few seconds of entertainment, especially if i was a knick fan and just had to watch that shitty team for the 60th+ time this season.

    Um no... It's pretty easy.

    I dislike him as a player.

    He's a great human being but as a player, I want him off my favorite team.
