Game 61: Cavs at Knicks (Mar. 4, 2011)

[Maximus]

What did he say?

Melo: "Touch it, Samardo..."

 

[DJTJ]

What did he say?

That basically this was a grudge game for them. I really didn't care about what he said. Austin Rivers on the other hand...

 

[Rich]

There has got to be a limit to how hard you can hit someone, especially since it was almost a knee in the face? That was a charge every day of the week, IMO.

If a guy is in the middle of jump, and the defensive player is still moving, it isn't a charge and it doesn't matter where the knee hits. Now I'm not saying Samardo wasn't set or anything, but so long as the offensive player doesn't go out of his way to clear out, then he has the right to the space unless the defensive player is set before he jumps.

POTG is Samardo gettin blocked 3 times and not giving up then dunking it back like a MAN!!

Thanks for that. I was always under the assumption that there had to be some sort of limit.

Wonder if Carmelo will now say the next game against the Cavs is really, really, REALLY the grudge match.

 

[Rainman]

I think for the first time this year I saw Byron Scott get excited and smile, when Baron hit that three to go up 4.

I've been at work since 2 PM today and just got home for the last 5 min of the game.. Wtf did that bitch ass Melo say?

“[Tonight] is a payback game, man,” Anthony said yesterday. “[Last Friday’s] game, it left a bitter taste in my mouth. And the team’s mouth. And we remember that. We hold grudges.”

Carmelo was out of control when he hit Samardo. Even if SAmmy's foot was moving a little, they usually give you the offensive foul when the offensive player is so out of control and just slams into you like that.

Unbelievable night... See a movie, party, shebangshebang, then I find out Miami loses and Cavs win.

Again.

Again.

This is the sweetest moment of the season. Delicious.

Exactly we have needed a player like Baron that has a veteran presence and on court swagger that our younger players look up to rather than LBJs towel boys in Mo and Jamario

I'm glad we won, solely for the fact that this was Baron's first game in the Wine & Gold. It's great to bring him in in an emotional game like this to really gel w/ the rest of the players and coaches. If we're going to be getting extremely young in the coming years, it'll be a huge benefit to have a vet with some leadership who can show them how to compete and give everything they have. Great game Cavs!

Fred and Austin are the biggest homers in the entire league.

Not true, Tommy Heinson is the absolute worst homer. He actually makes puking noises and sounds like he's getting stabbed when the refs make a call against his celts.

I can't listen to the game when the Cavs play the celts and I get the boston feed
