    I might been expecting big game for Davis against Leonard and Zach on the boards but the problem is he will go against Kanter that busted Allen and Davis ass when he was a Knick.

    You're not kidding. Kanter goes ape shit against the Nets.

    If we want to win this game, get the ball inside to Nurk and Kanter.

    We'll call it.....the Beast-Turkey Connection.

    What the hell are ya'll talking about? You sound like hyper-sensitive teenage girls...

    The article barely even mentioned Portland. They did say Portland made a low-ball offer to re-sign Ed, but that's the truth.

    I did. Again, there was nothing in there to get upset about. I personally think it was fair & accurate.

    Maybe you don't know what the word "implied" means?

    Portland's actions (Olshey's actions) definitely implied that Ed's contributions were not valued. The narrative was that they wanted to make room for Collins, who is younger and a better fit for Portland's 'time horizon'. This could definitely be viewed by Ed (and those around him) that Portland thought he was on the downside of his career.

    The Nurk and Turk Connection.

    I'm sticking with this "Connection" theme.

    Whole team. We did this a couple years ago at Orlando as well. Coach likes to get out on the road a day early, post all star break to get them acclimated.

    That is good to hear. I was wondering about that. With all the new players on the team they could use a couple of practices before this tough stretch. Not sure where the players are flying in from (Bahamas Cabo, Hawaii etc) but they need to be focused and as you said "acclimated" after the break. You often see weird game scores for the first game back. These next 8 could very well be a make or break stretch. I was worried that they would be getting back to Portland tonight, glad to see they are already in NY.

    The solution is so simple. Just substitute the word "Olshey" for Portland, and it becomes more accurate. The article should have done that too, since Olshey didn't represent what Portland fans wanted.
