~Welcome to the Concrete Jungle ~ [15-7] Dec Recap

Your bench certainly showed their true potential in that game, and with more performances like that, Randolph could be in serious contention for the Sixth Man of the Year Award. What was with Amar'e only playing fifteen minutes though?

[Martti.]

Q - What is your honest opinion towards Isiah Thomas?

[thatwizardguy]

nice journal... how do u get the video highlights, i wanna make a preview thingy lol

[mp3]

Hyperize. , He mainly played 15 due to foul trouble but ive now had to take off "Player fatigue" off in the season setting as when i went to edit my roster i looked and most of my players said they were "Exhausted" which explains why most of my guys were fooked after 5 minutes lol.

The bench has been huge for me as ive started working out what works best for certain players as ive got pretty much a whole new roster from years gone by and iam happy to get Bill Walker back to full health since in the 2nd game he got hurt and has been playing with a -8 on his overall rating and he's a player that i kill with online too!

As a knick fan seeing all the Anthony Randolph mix tapes that are doing the rounds on the knick forums iam starting to really get pumped more than before about having him on my roster so iam defo going for 6th man along with most improved awards

Martti. , Question logged

thatwizardguy , iam using the ps3 to upload to the 2k sever , i noticed that in your Wizards Chise you are using the pc so iam not sure if it works the same but on the ps3 you just sign up on the 2k website using the same email address that is registered with the ps3 for playing online then during game after a kick ass play hit replay and click in "R3" on the controller and click "upload video to 2ksport"

Thanks

Happy to help

Nice last game by Felton, think he will have to start becoming a solid 2nd/3rd option on offense for you with the squad you have. Sucks Buike is out I personally always like a few injuries as it brings new challenges.

[mp3]

Yeah it does , i think next time a player picks up an injury iam gonna shut that player down until he's healed because playing with Bill Walker sucked while without Buike Roger Mason is starting to shine !

Tough loss man. Another Q for Mike: "What do you think of the development of your Russian center, Mozgov?"

[cavs4872]

I personally think that this Knicks team your using could still use one more piece like Anthony or Paul before they have the ability to go deep into the playoffs. The reason I say that is because you still have a superb record, even after a tough loss like that. Keep at it.

[mp3]

I played away against the Celtics late last night and it went down to the wire me losing 102-105

This game really took it out of me lol

The score was 100-101 to them with 20 seconds left when i ran a play for Amar'e when while running with Felton i found myself with an open path to the basket which i took but missed it then with them up 105-102 i stole the ball with 2 seconds and called timout, made my 3 point shooting subs and then stupidly icon passed to Roger Mason for one of his killer corner 3's but.... as soon as i passsed it i noticed there were 2 guys in the passing lane but there was nothing i could do it was too late.

The pass was picked and i lost the game , turned off the ps3 and went to bed a broken man.

KnicksTV - Hi Mike , thanks for sitting down and taking time with us to answer so questions.

MikeD - No problem guys alway happy to help.

KnicksTV - Cool , cheers right lets get started

MikeD - Lets do it !

KnicksTV - The Knicks are sitting pretty at the top of the east with 14-7 record , Hedonist from NLSC asks - are you surprised at this good start? and is it playoff's or Bust this year ?

MikeD - Iam not surprised at all where we are now with the talent we have on our roster the question was with so many new faces on our roster would the team gel quickly or not and if we dont make the playoffs it is most certainly a BUST year for us.

KnicksTV - Thomas from Queens asks "Whats with Bill Walker's slow start?"

MikeD - Bill lost 45lbs over the summer and is learning to play in his new body , he's quicker than the ball when dribbling , he's jumping alot higher on his jumpshots which he now has to adjust his shot plus he picked up an injury in the 1st week of the season.

KnicksTV - Thierry. from NLSC asks - "How's it like to coach Amare once again, this time in a city like New York?

MikeD - Well Amar'e is a special player and we have always knew that the whole league has known that but he's a different player than he was when i coached him with the Suns , now he's more of a leader and has taken on the task of bring the Knicks back and he never needed to be asked he came straight to us and iam real happy to coach a player with his skill set again.

KnickTV - Martti. from NLSC asks "What is your honest opinion towards Isiah Thomas?

MikeD - Me and Isiah as cool we say hello to each other but we have a difference of opinion on alot of things and Donnie knows this and i think feels the same way after there days together with the Pacers , we will never be friends but i have a lot of respect for him as a player.

KnicksTV - Houndy66 from NLSC asks "Which player would trade right now and why?

MikeD - Right now i wouldnt trade anybody as ive not seen what this full roster has to offer but if i was to trade anybody it would be for a star player

KnicksTV - Hedonist also asks "what does your team need to compete for the Championship (or do you have all the pieces)?" and "how are you going to try and stop the Heat?"

MikeD - Id like to say we have all the pieces right now but we could do with a 2nd scorer on our team if Gallo doesnt step it up then next summer we will be looking at grab Melo from the Nuggets *laughs*

The knicks are looking to take the Heat away from there passing game forcing them to play one on one basketball which in the 7 loses has happened alot when one of teh big 3 says "iam getting mine" and thats not team basketball so we will be running a lot of traps against them

KnickTV - Last question from Thierry. over at the NLSC he asks "What do you think of the development of your Russian center, Mozgov?

MikeD - The Moz has being great so far on defence he's still adjusting to life in the US but he knows the game of basketball and has a great work ethic so his development should come along pretty fast , we see him as a stronger Andre Biedras he really has that much upside.

KnicksTV - Ok Mike thanks for your time

MikeD - No problem
