Golden State Warriors Sun 07/15/2007 3:00 PM New York Knicks v. Denver Nuggets Official Knicks Summer League Page On NBA.comYeah we'll maybe win a game with that schedule....I am excited to watch Durant play against our team though. I'll be watching that game either on the live stream or on MSG.
Nate blows. He has been in the league for 2 years now and he's still participating in the summer league where he's at his best to show off.

Otherwise, he could be the odd man out between Dickaou, Jones, and himself.
I'm reallllyy hoping they deal Nate. He's exciting to watch but I don't think he's that great of a player.
Got the game on right now on MSG....Knicks have looked good through almost 3 quarters now. Everyone has more or less contributed and Chandler, Nichols and Morris have been pretty impressive thus far.
I only watched a couple minutes, but I was so impressed with Chandler. I didn't think he was as good a shooter as he's shown.
I was really impressed with Balkman's defense and it was great to see Randolph Morris have a productive night. He was very active. In college, at times, he got a bit careless and looked like he only gave 70%. It's just summer league, but Morris played very well tonight and didn't allow Petro's athleticism/quickness get the best of him. He used his strength to his advantage. Durant was pretty awful. The Knick defense was excellent, but Durant definitely got some good looks out there as well.
Knicks defense was awesome, Balkman reminds me so much of a smaller version of Dennis Rodman, the way he goes after loose balls and rebounds, jesus. The dude puts his life on the line just completely throwing his body around.I really like the core of the Knicks young guys...the future is bright, my friends.
^^ agreed. That block on Durant was amzing he came from behind and ended up in front of him to block him.
Balkman plays so hard, especially for the summer league...you'd think a guy that's pretty much guaranteed a spot on the Knicks roster next season wouldn't care too much about the Summer League, but that's what I love about Renaldo Balkman...He plays so hard night in and night out no matter what stage it's on. Knicks play tonight too. Lets see if they can go 3-0!
I watched a little bit of the Knicks game today against the Kings and I liked what I saw. Renaldo Balkman and Nate Robinson were both playing really good. It was very entertaining...
Demetris Nichols is doing great!!Evryones doin well..there playin the tough warrioirs and belineli tonight

Damn...5-0. Didn't see that one coming to be honest. Good job by all the players on the roster, they really came to play. Too bad we probably won't see that kind of hard work in the regular season with our other players.
