So as most of you realized I'm sure, I didn't post in this thread at all last night. I was watching the election with my family while after celebrating my 21st birthday. I came back and read this thread and it was pretty hilarious. ECN even mentioned my name, which I was flattered. Lol. I thought the race was going to be closer than it was, but I should've listened to Nate Silver's fivethirtyeight blog. He was accurate once again. 50/50 states predicted correctly, as well as the popular vote being spot on. We'll see what Obama can do with four more years. I'm hopeful Republicans in Congress are willing to work with him now, because this election was a mandate of the country. We need to work together to pass legislation, not just one party vs the other. I'm hopeful this will change because the Republicans won't be thinking about the next election and not letting Obama get a second term, but maybe, just maybe they will put the people first. It was fun discussing politics with all of you this year throughout the campaign. Even ECN, I love debating politics and although you insulted me numerous times, I still enjoyed the debate (when it was actually serious and not name caling).

This. I can always count on you to have consistent, intelligent and accurate commentary when it comes to basketball man. When you left for that period of time, I really missed your posting. Seriously. I voted for the first option, because to be honest, If I were Knicks GM and someone actually would TAKE Amar'e Stoudemire and his huge contract off my hands, I do it in a heartbeat. But, there's no team out there that's willing to do that. Nitro is right though. I've been saying this for months. Neither Carmelo or Amar'e have been healthy enough for a continuous amount of time to see if they can truly fit together. As well as a deeper team, more size, and much improved PG play, it's impossible to say at this point whether they can co-exist. I know it's not the sexy, blunt answer that people on this site like to give, but it's the truth.

My vote is Raymond Felton instead of Jason Kidd for most under the radar acquisition. Everyone thought Felton was some type of bum coming to the Knicks, but he has been the most impressive player so far on this team. He looks tremendous and is in great physical shape.

got off to a real shaky start but nice to see us pull it together and get another lopsided victory. going to be interestng to see when the Knicks play a close game at the end who's on the court and how they play in crunch time...

Ohio and VA I could see. don't see FL going to obama. but i don't know if it matters? but i'm no pollster, just gathering info from different sources and i've concluded romney would need to win almost every battle ground state. just like most of us have been saying...comes down to ohio

Rofl

You really think so? How is Romney going to win the electoral college? Just curious as to what your polling model looks like. I already voted for President Obama two weeks ago. He probably will lose NC, but hopefully it won't matter. I think it'll be very close. My prediction using that 270towin.com site... Obama 288 Romney 244 That's pretty damn close when you consider McCain won just, what, like 170 last time?

Well, that's actually kind of when they were more likely to say how they truly feel about him.

Lol, but the unemployment numbers they use are always the same, right? Do they use your model when a Republican is President? Did we not add 5.4 million private sector jobs under President Obama or not? [expletive] outta here

Stopped reading here. When the numbers favor Obama, now they are skewed. But if Unemployment came out at a ridiculous rate this past month, you'd be touting his horrific policies. You are a [expletive]ing clown man. I don't know how many times I have to show you basic job growth charts under this administration, but let me re-track and bring it back up. Stop disputing it as propaganda or something too. The numbers are the numbers. That's what every single outlet has reported. How do you dispute this? I don't get it dude.

That'd be great, but don't see it. The original time table on Baron Davis last year was in January, and I don't think we saw him until like the first week of March. With an serious injury, they'll be extra cautious. I don't really expect Shumpert back until the beginning of March, or the last week of February at the earliest.

Shumpert would make an incredible difference. Even if he only played as well as he did in his Rookie season, he'd still provide such an improvement to this team. If Shump could return in March and really get into form for the post-season, this could be a scary team. Idk if Amar'e is a positive or negative for this team when he eventually comes back. Plays no defense, mediocre rebounder, and I'm not sure if he can even score anymore. But, I won't lie...I'll be excited when he comes back.

Nah, don't bother. I caught the 2nd half and the Sixers looked like they didn't even want to be there.

When Obama took office in Jan. 2009: U.S. was losing 800,000 jobs per month. October 2012: 171,000 jobs added. Stock market has seen a 71% increase since he took office. When it comes to creating jobs, I think we've already seen President Obama's policies work and are going to continue to work. Romney's policies didn't seem to work in Massachusetts (even though he touts his record)...he's losing by 20% in the polls in his own state, and he was 47th out of 50 states in job creation. Hmm...better on the economy? Advantage: Obama.

Obama has shown nothing that he deserves a second term? George W. Bush....GEORGE. W. BUSH. got a second term. Some argue he's the worst President in modern U.S. history...and he got a second term. Barack Obama has been a far better President than George W. Bush (not really sure the right would even argue that, considering how unpopular W is in his own party). Obama delivered on many of his campaign promises in 2008, and with a Repub. congress for the past two years, it could've been far more.

It's really bad up there, it still is. Many of my friends/relatives do not have power in New Jersey and are just trying to get their lives back to their daily lifestyle/routine, and still can't. I donated some money tonight to the RedCross, not much but just trying to do something.

You have to be fair in your critique of the networks. We've had this discussion a few weeks back. Difference between MSNBC & Fox News -- MSNBC openly admits to their liberal bias/agenda (slogan: 'Lean Forward')... while Fox News slogan is "Fair & Balanced."

lol nice win man the team looked good tonight. can't get too high on them yet though. but seriously can't wait to see them with Shumpert/Stat...would be interesting for sure. I was shocked Rasheed really didn't play tonight except those meaninlgess three minutes at the end. I was expecting him to see more of the minutes K.T. got...eventually they'll have to play him because when Tyson gets in foul trouble, Thomas can't play 25-35 MPG.

They finally added Rasheed Wallace to the Knicks. They still haven't added Pablo Prigoni, or taken Iman Shumpert/Amare' Stoudemire off the online roster

I wonder if Rasheed Wallace will play at all. I would love to see Wallace and Camby mix it up with Miami lol

does this game ever update it's roster?

man i was gonna watch some NBA tonight but none of the LP channels work. neither does MSNBC, ESPN2, or Comedy Central, to name a few. SMH!

what does everyone think of this? outside of 3-4 tracks, i don't think it's all that impressive man

Damn. Oh well. I guess the first Knicks game will be Friday then (hopefully).

That's what I've heard. They were discussing on MSNBC that he has been praising President Obama, too.
