Hey Campus Socialite.... Tell Me How My Ass Tastes

I know all of the Knicks and the Knicks fans are stoked today. I mean they had a good year, they played well. If you just listened to the post game conferences yesterday you would have thought they won the series. Amare, Melo and D'Antoni were all surprisingly ok with a 42 win season than getting swept in the 1st round of the playoffs. I mean if you factor in the losses in the playoffs you were an under .500 team. That can't be what you expected with two "All-Stars" in your starting lineup.

I'm not going to be as vicious as the Answer, but seriously the "work in progress" excuse isn't something I would be ok with New York. Right now you have Amare and Melo.... who are you going to add? Seriously? You need a PG and you need a relevant big men and with the potential hard salary cap coming up what makes you think you will have money to sign anyone? I guess you guys can sit back and dream that Howard and Paul are eventually going to come, but does that make 2011-2012 season just another "work in progress" year?

If I was a Knicks fan I would be very concerned about how Melo acted in this series. Don't get me wrong, overall he played pretty damn well, but as a fan how did it feel for him to say "he had fun" after a Game 2 loss? I just can't see a guy like KG, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, or Rajon Rondo ever saying anything like that. Maybe it's just a different team, but that's not an outlook I would want my team to have. It's basically like saying "well, I had a good game, so who gives a fuck?"

To be honest with you Campus Socialite, I don't want to boast too much, because we did what we needed to do. We beat a far inferior team in 4 games. Better luck next year when you get rid of Donnie Walsh an bring back Isiah Thomas.

The Answer: I CAN HEAR PINS FALL ON THE FLOOR AT MSG

I'd like to take this moment to give my final rebuttal to Social whatever (yes whatever, or social fuck as I called it last time. It wasn't a dis, I just don't give a shit to know the name)

Your guys rebuttal to me first started personal. Well, to respond to that, don't all emotional buddy, theres always next year.

Now on to bball, and I'll make it quick so I can go back to my real life. We had some talks about the past last time. I guess theres no need to go there because our history is the best in all of basketball. I mean denying that is just denial right, so we can all agree to leave the past out of it.

We talked about the present and the future and thats where we can stay. You and all of Knick fans every will say we ALMOST beat you in game one and two with out billups. Let me explain something to you though I guess you guys have been losing for so long that it feels like a win when you come within 2 points...it's not. I't still a loss. Both times. And sure, with Jared Jeffries on the floor you almost won twice. So does that make the series competitive...NO. It's 3-0. It's not. I'm not sure how much basketball you watch but this is that playoffs. Every win is a grind. The playoffs are about grinding out W's. Thats it. There are rarely blow outs...oh wait...sorry, besides the other night. But for the rest of the league. Look around. Look how the Hornets beat the Lakers in game 1 without David West. I mean it happens. Playoffs are all about closing out games that are close. And I want to say sorry from the bottom of my heart because really you have nothing. You guys were never close. Spin it in your head like you were, but look at the facts. We've beaten you the last 7 times we played. Your down 3-0 in the series. And you got blown out on the epic homecoming to the Garden. You guys are not even remotely close. Which brings me to the future.

You guys obviously have a very long way to go. You have two amazing players to build around. But lets face it, you guys are so far away its crazy. You guys haven't even competed in this series. If you guys get swept, it will be back to the drawing broad. Now hold up, since I don't want you to respond to this let me make all your excuses for you, and then reply so we can save times.

Billups is hurt - get use to it, he won't resign next season

Ama're is hurt- if your on the court....you can play...don't be a pussy.

We are a brand new team still trying to learn each other- Have you looked at the Celtics. 5 new players at the deadline.

Garnett plays dirty- So?

You guys cheated- If you don't cheat you don't try.

You'll get beat by the Heat. Nah...we won't, but either way you'll be watching it not playing in it.

Listen, I'm sorry to Knick fans everywhere that your team sucks. And when you do get good...its will be in the wrong era. Bulls aren't going anywhere. The Heat aren't going anywhere. The Thunder are the future. I can honestly say that this current Knick teams core will NEVER win a championship. I really believe that. Not because you guys won't ever be good enough. Because Honestly, I love Carmelo, I think you could build around him. I think they will, but sorry, never gonna be better than the teams I just named.

So in conclusion of this entire ordeal, since the series is all but over. Not yet for the Knicks. We already new that. But what we learned from this series is they have a long way to go. And at least you'll be able to say you lost to the champs. Peace.

Response To No Moral Victories

During the entire Knicks vs. Celtics playoffs series, The Campus Socialite (Knicks) will square off against Dueling Couches (Celtics) in a trash talk showdown. We’re taking this rivalry from the courts to the blogs.

Those scumbag New Yorkers obviously are getting nervous over there in shit city that they feel the need to defend an 0-2 team in the playoff that are most likely going to lose Chauncey Billups and Amare for game 2. The responded to our No Moral Victories post.

Here it is:
Under normal circumstances it would suck to write a post after losing two consecutive playoff games by a total of 4 points. Nobody likes to lose and there is definitely no such thing as a moral victory in the playoffs. But shit, we played our asses off last night, Melo did EXACTLY what I said he’d do, dominated an inferior team. There isn’t a player in the NBA who can guard Melo when his jumper is falling like it was last night. Plenty of New Yorkers are playing the “if we only had our starters” game and it may even be true that losing an MVP quality player for the most important game your team has played in ten years is less than ideal. More so than that though, we SHOULD have beaten the defending Eastern Conference Champions for the second game in a row last night. We out-played them, had a lead in the final minute and just couldn’t seal the deal. The unfortunate excuse of an NBA basketball player that is Jared Jeffries has graced us with his incompetence once again. He teased us with a dynamic driving layup to take the lead in the final minute only to completely blow the game on the final two important possessions. The coaching mistakes were evident, Carmelo MUST come off of Delonte West and double Garnett in the post and Dantoni is directly to blame for not making that known. Also, in his post-game presser Mike D said “Melo was gassed and couldn’t chase Delonte into the backcourt on the final play”. THEN TAKE HIM OUT AND HAVE SOMEONE FRESH MAKE THE FOUL!!! We are fouling on purpose anyway and could have brought Carmelo back in the game after the first free throw. I wanted to see, for once in the past 2+ seasons, Dantoni actually win a game by outcoaching his counterpart and now I have no faith that will ever happen.

It is going to take an infusion from THE Garden crown on Friday night to bring the Bockers back into this series and that is exactly what we are going to get. The place is going to be rocking, you will feel it through the television. People in Boston will be drinking discounted beers in their mom’s basements and screaming at the tv in horror. They won’t understand what is happening, their hated NY fan base showing up and making a difference in the game? WOW. We don’t need bad calls and dirty players to win, yea im talking to you KG and Big Baby. It amazing what these guys get away with and then scream and cry whenever they hear a whistle. Bunch of bitches on that Boston team and I “CANT WAIT” (Bart Scott Voice) to take them out of the playoffs just like the J-E-T-S did to Tom Brady and his soft bunch of pussies in January.

The Answer Gets An Answer

During the entire Knicks vs. Celtics playoffs series, The Campus Socialite (Knicks) will square off against Dueling Couches (Celtics) in a trash talk showdown. We’re taking this rivalry from the courts to the blogs.

Remember when our own Answer ranted about this

“Ummm so I just got done reading this little battle between DC and Camp Social Fuck and I’m checking into the game here. Now I’m not doing it because I have some long rant and rebuttal to their stupid fucking article about the 90′s, I actually only have one thing to say (and I’ll take this moment to say a few other things.)” More

Well the Campus Social Fucks responded:
First was a response by someone called “The Answer” which ironically only left me with questions, like who allowed this clown to actually publish something on their site, and why everything he says contradicts itself to the point that I don’t know what the hell this dude is trying to accomplish. My time spent on replying to “The Answer” will be limited simply because I have better shit to do. In response to you calling us “Camp Social Fuck”, that sounds like the most awesome place ever, and being that you probably can’t afford a lawyer I am going to go ahead coin that phrase, and make a t-shirt out of it.



Then on to your actual commentary about the game I will say the following; I find it funny that you feel Rondo (can’t shoot), Jeff Green (bum), and Big Baby (mush) lead you to a level of confidence in the future. The fact that you are counting on a draft pick and the hope of a free agent, doesn’t sound very promising either.

To your points on defense, and the Knicks lack there of, we have held your Boston Celtics under 100 pts two games in a row. I think our defense has been decent enough. And to demonstrate how contradictory your ignorant arguments are, you first mention how D’Antoni will be fired, and then say how we wont ever win a championship because of his game plan. Good point dude. Well thought out.

You compare the Knicks to the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks don’t have Melo or Amare, they have Josh Smith. Relax on that comparison kid.

The Knicks were by far the more effective team in the half court offense, it was Boston’s offense that all came from their running game. If you have watched the Knicks in this series or prior to the playoffs, you would know that with the addition of Melo and Billups we have transformed them from a running team to a more half court offense. Which makes your statement about how the knicks running style offense will never win in the playoffs, irrelevant. Lastly, RAY ALLEN might be the best shooter ever, but he was only open because Garnett tripped Toney Douglas, and the ref didn’t call it because you blew him before the game.

Im out.

THERE ARE NO MORAL VICTORIES NEW YORK!!!

During the entire Knicks vs. Celtics playoffs series, The Campus Socialite (Knicks) will square off against Dueling Couches (Celtics) in a trash talk showdown. We’re taking this rivalry from the courts to the blogs.



Hey New York, I'll see ya in Madison Square up 2-0. I'll admit that was a valiant effort you put in last night without Amare Stoudemire and Chauncey Billups, but the fact is the Knicks franchise hasn't won playoff game in bazillion games and that trend continues and will continue.

I've been hearing the excuses all morning, IF we had Amare, IF we had Chauncey, IF Jared Jeffries put the shot up strong we WOULD have won the game or we NEARLY beat you without Amare and Billups, so next game we will get you for sure. This one also makes me laugh, and even our friend Drew Austin at Campus Socialite was guilty of it on twitter, "Fire Mike D'Antoni", C'mon man what do you expect from him when you have a bunch of D Leaguers and Carmelo Anthony playing against the best team in the NBA? If anything he deserves more credit for having that team play a close game. Let me make this clear New York, there are no moral victories, especially in the playoffs when you are down 0-2.

What is really painful is having to listen to all this crying over the refs. Do Knick fans realize that they were at the line 11 more times then the Celtics? There were blown calls on both sides, and it's really sad to hear a fan base cry that much when you had such an advantage in free throw attempts.

Let me tell you some facts going into game 3. Don't expect the Knicks to have 53 rebounds including 20 offensive boards. Without that, this game would have been a blowout, we essentially gave New York 24 free points. Above all the rebounding problems it was the Celtics bench that really let them down. Big Baby had the worst game of his NBA career. He was letting guys blow by him, couldn't pull down a board if his life depended on it, and just looked out of it all game. That won't happen again. He is much better then that, and is the key to the 2nd unit. If the bench plays even close to the way they should this would've been an easy 10+ point victory. Also, Don't expect Carmelo to be that hot ever again. Yes, he had a hell of a game, and is a hell of a scorer, but he was hitting shots that he had no business making and will NEVER be able to take 30 shots against the Celtics again and make 47% of them.

With all that being said, next game will be exciting for sure, I want the Knicks to have Billups and Stoudemire back just so we can beat them again, and stop hearing the excuses that are flooding out of New York. This year alone we saw two awesome games at MSG, the 1st was when Pierce hit a step back over Amare to win the game and the 2nd was when the Celtics came back from 15 to beat the Knicks. It was great, we got to see KG and Pierce quiet a room full of greasy, loud New Yorkers. So, as much as you'll hear New Yorkers get all hyped up over finally having a meaningful game at MSG, the Celtics will do what they always do... WIN GAMES.

The Answer: I Want In This War!!!

Ummm so I just got done reading this little battle between DC and Camp Social Fuck and I'm checking into the game here. Now I'm not doing it because I have some long rant and rebuttal to their stupid fucking article about the 90's, I actually only have one thing to say (and I'll take this moment to say a few other things.)

Dear Knick fans...mark my words. YOU WILL NEVER WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THIS TEAM. Thats right I said it. Somebody had to say it. Am I a hater? I don't think so. I like to think of myself as the most biased realist Boston fan there is. Your right about one thing, this is our least year of this run. Maybe we can squeeze next year out to. But to say we will be back to the 90's is just plain stupid. Rondo is locked up for 5 years. If I'm a big time free agent and I'm looking for a big city to play in, who will I join? Theres a handful of cities to go to but only one that has the best distributor in the game. So trust me, Rondo, Jeff Green, the Cavs lotto pick, Big Baby, and some big free agent, I like our chances. But as I digress I want to get back to the point.

Amare' is awesome. Melo is maybe the best scorer in the world. But I'm so sorry to report, defense wins titles. Not fucking scorers. Now your coach, (who will be fired after this season) doesn't give two fucks about defense. You can call Melo's foul at the end of the game dumb and the reason you lost. You can call Melo's 3 pointer hail mary a stupid shot and the reason you lost. We can't point out 20 plays throughout the night that give you guys the loss. But lets look at the facts. Boston and New York both had an opportunity for a game winner. Boston capitalized, Knicks did not. But not on offense...ON DEFENSE. Theres a good reason Melo chucked up a hail mary. There was no where else to go. We won that game on a defensive stop. Now lets back track 12 seconds before. Let me explain the facts here real fucking simple so you retards don't miss anything. I'll speak slow so those of you with PhD's in the room can understand what I'm saying: If Ray Allen, the best shoot EVER is wide open for a game winner, thats bad defense. And thats the reason you lost. BAD DEFENSE. This will continue to happen, over and over again.

Lets break down the Knicks for a second and your not so bright future. You have Melo. Arguably one of the worst defenders in the whole league. You have Amare, arguably one of the worst defenders in the league. You have a coach who doesn't care about defense.

Diantoni's strategy is get the best shot you can in the first 7 seconds of the shot clock. Run, Run, Run until the other team can't stand. Let me make the point that in the regular season the strategy works and works well. But do some research instead of making bold ass claims. Look at our last 10 champions, Lakers, Celtics, Heat, Spurs, Pistons combine for the last 10 rings. All HALF COURT TEAMS. For those of you who don't get this concept I'll make it simple for the basketball idiots reading. Up tempo teams, such as the Knicks, Hawks, 76ers, never win in the playoffs. They have one gear...5th. Half court teams usually have a point guard who has all gears and can slow the game down. If you can't play in the half court, your team isn't built for the playoffs.

So Knick fans, buckle up for the next 8 years. Great regular season, early exits from the playoffs. Take that to the bank. If you wanna dismiss what I'm saying your not being realistic. The Atlanta Hawks are a great example of your future. Look at them. Look at their roster. It looks good on paper. They play great basketball. They've had the same team for years and never get out of the second round. Why? Because they don't know how to slow down the game and get easy buckets.

So in conclusion, stop living in the past. Let the 90's be the 90's. And if your bringing up the 90's in this fight well, don't. We don't like attacking unarmed armies, because bringing up the 90's is like saying, well, we got nothing on you now but remember back in the day. Oh yeah by the way, if you really wanna live in the past, you really wanna go there, don't do it with the Celtics. Cause all we say then is 17 rings bitch, how many you got? Thats what I thought. Lets focus on the future, which I just showed you isn't going to be all that great either. So really the moral of the story is keep your mouth shut and take whats coming to you. And heres to another 20 years for shitty Kicks basketball.

Another Reason to Hate New York... The Knicks

During the entire Knicks vs. Celtics playoffs series, The Campus Socialite (Knicks) will square off against Dueling Couches (Celtics) in a trash talk showdown. We’re taking this rivalry from the courts to the blogs.

For all of those who aren't familiar with DuelingCouches.com we've have been very outspoken about how the Knicks, Carmelo Anthony and the aura surrounding the gulag known as Madison Square Garden to be the most overrated and overhyped franchise in the NBA.

First off the Knicks and the hype surrounding the Carmelo Anthony trade was absolutely ridiculous. Do I agree with the trade? Absolutely. I feel it was a real good move for them now and long term. They gave up Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks 2014 first-round draft pick, the Warriors' 2012 second-round pick, the Warriors' 2013 second-round pick and $3 million in cash for Anthony and Chauncey Billups and some scrubs. Who would have thought that the 2nd most important player in the deal would be Billups, behind Amare Stoudemire? Carmelo is a nice piece, however people (idiot New Yorkers) believing this team would be a contending team rather than a happy to be in the playoffs team is retarded.

Carmelo Anthony is an outstanding player, no doubt, but the real leader of this team is and will always be Amare Stoudemire. As we saw in game 1 against the Celtics, the Knicks were dominating the Celtics when Amare was the primary scorer and Billups was the main ball handler. As soon as Melo decided to "take over" the game he showed Knicks' fans exactly who they got, which is a ball hogging moron who cares more about his perception then winning game. In the last 11 possessions of the game, Amare didn't get the ball, while Melo went 5-18. That is absurd considering Amare was 12 for 18 in the game and dominating in the paint. You can put some blame on Mike D'Antoni who got completely outcoached by Doc Rivers in the second half, or even that Billups got injured in the final minute, but if your so called "Batman" wants to bring his game to superstar level he needs to pass the ball, instead of tough fade aways or a emotional offensive foul. You want to see how it's done, the Knicks only half to look across the court to a man named Paul Pierce who gave up the final shot and let Ray Allen be the hero. Carmelo cost the Knicks game 1, a winnable game, but instead they are going to play tomorrow in Boston down 0-1 and without their former All Star point guard, when all "Batman" had to do was let Robin take them home.

We shouldn't be surprised about the Knicks overhyping something though. Look at what they do with Madison Square Garden. How is that place so special when the only thing that happens is losing? Really, it is just sad at this point that they even call this Celtics/Knicks games "rivalry games". Paul Pierce said it best "maybe this will be a rivalry when I retire".

We were at the game and the whole time without even looking at shirts or jerseys you could tell who the scumbag Knick fans were. They are loud, obnoxious and are completely entitled for no real reason. If a Knicks fan can tell me how they have been relevant since Willis Reed came back into the game, I'd be shocked. You know what the Knicks are known for in the passed 30 years? Reggie Miller, and them choking (both on the court, and Sprewell). During the whole game they were popping their Stephon Marbury and Penny Hardaway jerseys (I know, that's the most ridiculous thing in the world, that would be like us Boston fans rocking a Vin Baker Jersey or dressing up like Rick Pitino), so it was unbelievable to see how humbled they got when Ray Allen's shot tickled the twine to win the game.

So in my closing statement in this rant, I just want to give the Knicks a big thank you for giving us game 1, we will need the extra time to rest going into round 2.

You can go to Campus Socialite to hear thier rant against the Celtics, and check back the day after every Celtics vs. Knicks game to hear both sides of thier "series".
