<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Nylex:</div><div class="quote_post">What was that whole Kidd standing over FWill thing about anyway (I didn't see the game)?</div> Williams tried to draw a charge. It didn't happen and WIlliams fell on his back with Kidd standing on top of him when he landed. Kidd was apparently taunting altough we don't know what he said.

It would be better if it was Stephon Marbury instead of Frank Williams. That would make the rivalry go to a whole new level. In order for the Knicks to win some games now that Thomas is out. They need to get Marbury more involved in the offense. Or in other words MARBURY needs to get himself into the offense. It gets on my nerves that sometimes he will give up open shots just so he can swing the ball to Thomas and get an assists.

it's not like tempers were really flaring during that knockdown-push between kidd/williams. people are trying to make it more than what it really is to get teams/fans/media feeling like there really is a rivalry. if there were punches thrown,then you could enter the hate feeling towards each other, but there wasnt. or maybe if zo was playing you could try and add it from his heat days. eventhough there is a whole new cast of knick players. good thing punches were not thrown
Penny needs to play the point. Marbury still after all these years still has no clue how to be a NBA point guard. Give penny the ball. He will dictate the offense. And use weapons like Stephon to his whim. IN PENNY WE TRUST!!!

The Knicks need to find away to free steph up from getting doubled. the best way to do that is to take steph off the ball. Let penny do the ball hand. And let steph be the scorer. Lenny Wilkens is a extremely wise offensive coach. He will find away to take some of the pressure off Steh. BTW, I talk about this & the rest of the matchups in the series & games in my game preview/threads. Knick fans are more than welcome to go to the Nets forum.And discuss the in & outs of the game 2 as well as the rest of the series.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Injured Knicks forward Tim Thomas ripped Nets forward Kenyon Martin as a phony tough guy and criticized his teammates, too, for failing to respond to the flagrant foul that sidelined him... ..."My goal is just to get back out there on the court before this series is over so I can go hit somebody. That's it. That's all I'm looking forward to," Thomas said Wednesday. "What's been done to me is going to be done to them. It's very simple."... ...Thomas said he was more angry with Collins than with his teammates -- but only because the rest of the Knicks still have a chance to retaliate. "When I was laying on the floor I was expecting somebody to do something, to push, to shove, anybody. But it never happened," Thomas said. "In that situation you have to respond. You have to, that's the bottom line. "For it to go down that way and for nobody to really respond, I'm just waiting for somebody to do something." </div> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2004...tory?id=1787142 Is it just me or does this sound like the beginning of one of Dave Chappelle's "When Keepin' It Real Goes Wrong" sketches? There are a four guys in the league I would never retaliate against: Ben Wallace, Karl Malone, Charles Oakley (he's getting up there, but I still have the feeling he could whip just about anyone), and Kenyon Martin. If the Knicks do retaliate it, I hope for their sake they go after Collins...or better yet Kerry Kittles... Seriously though, I know the playoffs are supposed to be more physical, but I've never seen the need for retaliation to the extent that you have players doing the hockey goon thing. Thomas has just put Stu Jackson on notice that he's going to go after Collins or Martin, or he expects one of his teammates to. I hope Jackson and David Stern nip this thing in the bud and tell the Knicks that the league won't stand for retaliation.
thomas needs to talk to isiah. he will tell tim to get tough. these are supposed to be professionals who are also role models. act like one tim! you get paid for a game millions of people wish they could play for a living. all you have done is complain when you are supposed to act like a man and try to show people that you aren't a bust of a player that everyone says you are. think before you speak. saying in the papers that he wants to come back and hit somebody could be the stupidest, lowest moment in knicks history. if i was a knicks fan, or management i would be embarrassed and would try to appologize for tim to make sure nothing happens that someone will regret later in life
