Knicks accuse Bulls of running up score - NBA - MSNBC.com (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18047387/)

Looks like Zeke is yet again getting ready to send out the goons against a team supposedly running up the score against the poor defenseless Knicks.

What a load of crap.

I think the next team with a lead ought to dribble until there are only about three seconds left on the shot clock and then toss a nice soft pass to a Knicks guard and just get out of the way. Who knows, maybe Robinson can actually dunk on the first try.

Fans get free Big Macs if the Bulls score 100. Chicago’s Chris Duhon acknowledged they were trying to feed spectators but denied trying to run up the score.

C'mon folks, that is some of my best work on short notice.

It is indeed. Very nice job.

:hungry:

Have to draw the line on the final possetion. The Bulls still had the right to jack up 3's with less than a minute to go but once the other team waives the white flag and there are less than 24 sec's left and the shot clock is tuned off its just bad sportsmanship to take a shot like they did. Especially a layup.

Knicks should have sent Allen to the floor like T.Mills did to Steve Kurr back in 93 in a similiar situation. If anyone remembers that it was probably the high point of that dismall season.

Thats one thing I have always liked about the current Pistons, they will never jack up a shot at the end of a game like that.

Zeke needs to man up. This whole you are embarassing me by running up the score deal is getting old. How about you're embarassing yourself by fielding a team that wasn't competitive? Zeke is my favorite player, but his criticisms are misdirected. He needs to be pointing the finger at himself and using the beating as a motivational tool for his team.

He is using it to motivate, MoPride. My hunch is that he has no problem exaggerating any slight, if it teaches his guys to take losing personally. The Knicks aren't exactly relevant yet, but at least they don't take losing for granted anymore.

Wouldn't surprise me if Zeke pulled this out of the Chuck Daly playbook. And you couldn't choose a better foil than Skiles. He's always going to say something back that stirs the pot.

If the Knicks don't want teams to run up the score against them, perhaps they should play better.

You really shouldn't whine when you are the highest paid team in the league by a wide margin. $130M in salaries aren't enough to stop the Big Mac attack?

I'm not sure what Isiah is up to but these players have to realize that people won't buy their complaints cause of their bloated payroll.

Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce cheese, pickles onions on a sesame seed bun......................Gimmie some fri es with that.........:cheerleader:

I agree with LanierFan. Zeke is playing mind games, trying to teach a lesson.

We take the resiliency (late game at least) of the Pistons for granted. The Knicks are loaded down with young guys and career losers (except Malik Rose). I read somewhere via Truehoop recently that the Celtics (all young guys) are a team that doesn't seem to care if they win or lose. It's part of the AAU mentality where guys would play 2 or 3 games a day, and winning and competition wasn't as important as getting your shots and stats.

It's not easy building and maintaining a winning atmosphere. Joe did it by bringing in the right kind of coaches and vets. Zeke is trying to do it with youth. Let's hope for the Knicks sake that Zeke is very aggressive shedding dead weight this offseason.

Until the Knicks develop leadership on the court, Zeke will have to be the emotional catalyst for this team.

Hey...Isaiah managed to weather this season, and he'll be back next year. Due to expiring contracts, the Knicks payroll will be in line next year, and my guess is that if the team stays healthy, they'll be decent...Marbury, Curry, Lee, Crawford and Balkman have all matured and improved their team play.

Zeke has managed to live and fight another day.

Sorry to disapoint all the Zeke haters out there.

A quote from Isaiah after the Bulls game, to his team.........................
"THANKS A LOT.........TERY" !!!!!!!!!!!!:pound: :pound:

I see your point.

Sorry to disapoint all the Zeke haters out there.

I just wish he would go to San Antonio and work his magic there.

There are two sides to every argument.
