Spurs at Knicks

February 8, 2008 – 1:50 am

 

Plenty of Knicks tickets still available for those that wish to go.

Just wanted to take the time to apologize to the New York Press if I stepped out of line including them in the photo blog. Also, sorry to the New York Giants, an MSG usher, the Knicks City Dancers and the MSG jumbotron for photographing them as well (they all could care less, I’m certain).

As newspaper subscribers, we are familiar with New York Press through their words, so when I noticed later on at home that they were in the background of one photo, I cropped the photo to seem as though I was focusing on them and continued to label it with the people I recognize having read all their work over the years as a fan. I thought it would be fun to include them in my light-hearted jokes about the game, but apparently someone did not find it very funny, as we even got some hate mail back in the form of comments. Some of these guys are only comfortable when they get to write their own words, but we should all have that opportunity in America in the 21st century. It is sad what is happening in this country, the corporatization of what was once the liberty to speak. Again, it was all meant as a joke, and maybe it was a tasteless one at that, so don’t make threats about big daddy David Stern having the time to pick on Joe Schmoe blogger. I told Alan Hahn about the photo, and he was cool with it, for the record.

Moving on: don’t look now, but the Knicks have lost seven in a row again, and the NBA Champion Spurs are in town. The Spurs will have to take a submarine to get to the game tonight because the Knicks are at the bottom of the ocean now sporting a ghastly 14-35 record, pre-all-star break.

I have no explanation for Isiah’s continued employment at Madison Square Garden. It is the most illogical thing I have ever witnessed. Perhaps Dolan doesn’t want to write another settlement check should he fire him. Isiah wants to pocket that money, so he halfheartedly and questionably continues to coach and manage this Knicks team until something gives. The problem is, nothing is giving. Nobody wants to make a change.

Curry played well during stretches of last game, I’d have to think Curry’s play from here on would be a major factor in any rally towards the playoffs, and away from 2008’s top lottery picks. Conversely, if no major changes occur, are we shooting for Memphis point guard Derrick Rose? I haven’t caught a single Memphis game yet, but just going from the video, looks like another undersized two-guard to me, although perhaps superior to all of the short two guards on this Knicks roster. The proof is in the number one ranking of the undefeated Memphis Tigers.

  4. Great video link Blogzilla but NY will not have enough PPB to make this happen. I’m Just Bloggin’ as I have no connects as to
    what the NBA Scriptwriters have Doled out. Check with Lives. I think he’s on to something about the H2O thing. I hope it is so. Monty has set it up talking about the youthfulness of HIS roster. Just Bloggin’ (as Lives says, unless I’m right).

  6. We do well against teams like the Spurs! Spurs 101 Knicks 100. Maybe the DVJ mo jo
    will rub off on this prediction!

    To ChuckFM, This link is for you,( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iYpAY27XPc)

    I have the DVD. Dave is making a STATEMENT.

  8. Peek-a-boo.

    I’m here in Chicago. Attended a funeral yesterday: the gracious mother of my older three siblings (same father) who I didn’t know I had until I was 16, the oldest of 8. Funny how life is — all 111 of us got along fairly well and the elder’s mom hung with mine during her cancer demise. Really impressive man. I mention that for two reasons: first to echo Peace adn Knicks Defense in reminding folks that we are a complicated and complex people — simple analysis and assumptions will not do. Second, despite the anonymity of this pursuit, I feel like her spirit deserved a mention from me on one of my favorite spots.

    With that said, I felt like I was watching a funeral precession the last time I watched the Knicks (v. Clippers). Dead Team Walking. I* am uninspired and have nothing good to say. If I have nothing good to say, my spirit says shut the hell up and and something positive to contribute somewhere else. I can’t even muster up the energy to rebut starbury-struck Statesman who we all know knows the obvious. Not even worth wasting the energy on that discussion, but the truth is that better play doesn’t amount to much if we are not winning when we should. Those Starbury era blowouts feel only a little worse than the close game incompetence of this losing streak. It all still feels bad.

    So I’m still peeking in, just don’t have a thing to write that is worthy of your time or mine for that matter.

    Great job KD. Love the pics. I know a smart young lawyer who would give David Stern a run for his money if you have any problems with the Nothing But Actors Guild. Call me off line and I’ll give you the details. We call him “The Equalizer.”

    Love, Peace and Blessings.

  9. It’s Friday and I’m counting down the hours to the end of the work week, a cold brew and the Knicks on the tele.

    Bring on the good times.

    KD, Great pics!
    Good stuff.

  10. ‘Lives’,

    My sincere condolences go out to you. ‘Lives’, SPORTS is just a diversion from the real world, and your
    current experience is certaintly REAL WORLD. Although you and I have/will disagree, I am only expressing
    MY analysis of the situation. It’s no different than two brothers disagreeing on whether Halle Berry or
    Tyra Banks is FINER. Just an opinion, mixed with some jabs. The Knicks are not life & death, and besides
    as Steady writes, I have not seen the script.
    Stay Strong,

    Peace & Blessings

    By Statesman on Feb 8, 2008 at 1:40 pm

  11. Lives:
    Accept my stmpathy.
    Stand strong. No weepy weepy, no kissy kissy. (lol)
    Life goes on. Some must move on for others to come along. It’s all a cycle.
    Stay steady good brother.

  16. Deepest sympathies Lives.
    one step backwards, two steps forward, eight steps backward….
    The coaching staff must either be terrified to say or do anything meaningful because I see this decline as their fault.True there have been injuries but that is part of the game.They have not capitalized on the learning experience.The team had been playing harder, but now, not particularly smarter.When you lose the same way with the same guys making the same errors it’s the coaches’ fault.Jamal is playing like a rudderless boat.Everyone can see he shoots better when he has time to plant his feet.What’s with all the off the dribble desperation shots when the situation is not yet desperate?Run a play when you need a basket.Do we have any?This is not the playground.If you think it is you have the wrong job.The coach should have the first and last word, use it.The whole team needs to sit down and watch, “Patton”.On a team energy needs to channeled with self discipline.That’s what coaches teach, the successful ones seem to.To all the guys who think laughing off your losses is the key to success, remember, your next employer is watching.I wonder if the Celtics laugh about their losses in the locker room?Not if they don’t wan t to remove KG’s foot from their collective asses.Better to die on your feet than live on your knees!Even better yet, Better to live on your feet and make others die on their knees! (figuratively speaking of course!)Gentlemen Knick warriors,if I may.NYC, is not about quitting.We may lose here, but we don’t quit,check your passport. then check your heart to see if you’re in the right city,DO NOT!DO NOT GO GENTLY INTO THE NIGHT!
    Oh yeah Lives, how ’bout those Celts?
    Hat off to Steve Kerr, hell of a trade, everybody is in trouble if the Suns stay healthy!Unfortunately, not our problem!LGK

    By Tman on Feb 8, 2008 at 2:59 pm

  17. Lives,
    We are with you in heart and Spirit!
    Life is on hard and we are all slaves to the air that
    we breath and the food we must eat, but some day we will all be free!
    Until then, May you find comfort among the Band of Brothers!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 3:20 pm

  18. Lives, a classy and intelligent guy deserves an elegant message….but I too am feeling a bit uninspired, so I will have to settle for sincerity: My best wishes for strength, health and a sense of peace go out to you & yours.

    Tonight’s game is an interesting one. Often these types of games against a seasoned, superior opponent can be an opportunity to show yourself to be a loyal soldier and good teammate.

    i think Nate and Stoudamire going at it will be entertaining. Zeke Mighty Mouse project v.1 versus v.2! i think Nate can seriously get in his head early with some scrappy, pesky play.

    Balkman seems a bit more springy lately, hopefully he is hitting his stride and leaving minor nagging injuries behind. Hopefully this results in MORE PLAYING TIME FOR TAZ!

    Sixth man Manu Ginobilli recently had a interesting comment which said “In the past i have complained about playing 28 minutes a night, because i feel like i am not playing enough. But now with injuries, i am starting and playing forty minutes plus a night and i feel like i am tired for stretches and am playing too much. Bottom line is that players are never really happy!”

    Yes, he did say that last line, funny and true indeed. Tman, there does appear to be a schism between coaches and players (certain players at least). This is not the first locker room to get fractured into one or more “factions” by losing or off-the-court troubles, nor will it be the last. But i think the best thing for everyone concerned is just to commit to giving full effort between the lines, and being 100% focused on carrying out Isiah’s orders to the best of your ability.

    i can’t think of anything more suitable than for the Knicks to snap a seven game losing streak by upsetting the champs - it would kind of symbolize the entire season in a nutshell.

    LGK!

  19. Maybe or should I say hopefully tonight will be the icing on the cake for Isiah.

  25. Sorry,
    Breen is here, he’s already started sucking the Spurs weenies!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 7:36 pm

  26. Breen loves to give a nice clean sheen to those things tween the legs of the Knicks opposition!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 7:37 pm

  27. Present and accounted for and ready to take my punishment like a man!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 7:37 pm

  28. For record I niether like Hillary RODMAN Clinton.

    Could care less for her duplicitousness with regards to her rants about Latin America’s shift to the “left,” on one hand, and her illogical pandering to the Latino vote on immigration related issues.

    Back to the Knicks.

    If Chandler plays I’m cool with that.

    If we are going down this season might as well see what the rookie has to give this team for the future or whether he’ll be decent trade bait.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 7:40 pm

  29. The Knicks look up for this game!
    Their defense looks good so far!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 7:52 pm

  30. Spurs 18
    Knicks 14

    Close game some good defense some bad offense.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 7:59 pm

  31. Curry got hacked by Horry…no call!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:00 pm

  32. Peaceman

    You know by now that Curry hardly ever gets calls in his favor.

    I might not like his lack of hustle on both ends of the court.

    But opponents maul him everytime down and guesse what No Call!

  33. Jeffries should work on a Duncan like hook shot..he’s big enough
    and seems to handle the ball well!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:06 pm

  34. Agreed O&B!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:06 pm

  35. Sometimes I wonder if some of the guys lacking on offense on the Knicks work on developig their offensive games.

    I believe Lee does, he’s developed a little pop up 10-15 footer and some post moves.

    Can’t say the same for the rest of the gadget guys.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:08 pm

  36. Knicks taking to the hole!!!!
    25-18 knicks

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:13 pm

  38. Don’t want to jinx Jones.

    So here goes.

    No way always ready Freddie Jones can keep up that sort of good shooting!

    LOL!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:13 pm

  39. Some decent passing by the Knicks in the 2nd quarter.

    Liked the pass to jefferies the giraffe!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:14 pm

  40. As the Spurs call a TO, Horry walks off the court shaking his head as if to say, “damn, this is the Knicks doin’ this to us..”

    LMAO…

    By Bronxboy in Md on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:14 pm

  41. Jones has the touch tonight….
    I hope the Spurs keep playing Zone!!!!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:14 pm

  42. However, Spurs have been quite succesful at using the picks to free their guys in getting to the hole against the Knicks.

    Spurs distance shooting has been tepid, that won’t last all game, they’ll get hot somewhere down the road before the night is done!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:15 pm

  43. Easy Jeffries…you ain’t Jordan!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:19 pm

  44. Jones to shoot 2 after the time out!
    Knicks up by 8!!!!!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:20 pm

  45. Jeffrey the Giraffe has about as much coordination as a Do Do bird!

    Nice steal by Jones off of Damon’s pass.

    Took it the other way and was fouled at the line for two

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:21 pm

  46. LOL @44

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:30 pm

  51. David Leeroy actually hit two straight fundamental mid range white boy jumpshots!

    The world must be coming to an end!

    Wholly smokes.

    Knicks up by 14.

    That can’t last!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:31 pm

  52. I am livid.

    The Knicks can’t maintain this performance against teh vaunted 4 time WORLD CHAMPION SPURS!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:32 pm

  53. The Knicks are Balling YO!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:34 pm

  54. Oak needs some just for men!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:35 pm

  55. 48-32 Knicks!!!!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:37 pm

  56. Well as the old saying goes…

    Basketball is a game of runs– not the kind of runs that follow the Tex Mex BARF hypothetical chata eats…

    But the kind of runs that can cut into the oppositions lead and turn a 16 point half time lead into another disapointing loss.

    Wink Wink!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 8:39 pm

  57. O&B
    I hope that’s a reverse Mo Jo!

  59. Lakers vs. Phoenix will be better than the Finals this year.

    That will be a series for the ages!!!!!!!

    Nash vs. Fisher
    Hill vs. Kobe
    Diaw vs. Lamar

    Shaq vs. Bynum

    Get our Horses Lee & Balk back in!!!!!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:04 pm

  62. You know what.

    That patented Euroflop, which Oberto was perfectly executing against Z-Bo is analogous to the free pass a white boy when having fun. It’s called boys will be boys.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:05 pm

  63. This lead don’t mean shit to me.
    Knowing the Knicks…we will blow this lead
    and take another L.
    Remember buys, the more L’s we get, the higher our
    draft pick will be. We want loses.
    WE WANT LOSES!!!!!!!

    Big day tomorrow in the political world.

    Change in 08!!!!!!
    How hot would that be if the crowd chanted that instead of Fire Isiah?

    Priceless

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:05 pm

  64. The chants will be out shortly.

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:08 pm

  65. Again no one can realistically expect the Spurs to fold.

    This will be a test of the Knicks character.

    If they answer like they have in the past seven games where they held a lead at somepoint late in the 4th in most of those games, then the Knicks will be on their way to their 8th straight defeat!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:16 pm

  66. I’m not for Tanking SHIT! Lets go Knicks….
    the Spurs blew their load!
    Fuggum up Knicks!

  71. Crawford said FUCK YOU HORRY!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:32 pm

  72. Balkman is pure energy, he hustles harder to save that loose ball which leads to a three by Crawford after Crawford had shot a three in the previous possession.

    Knicks by 5.

    Hustle Harder!

    Apresurate Con Ganas!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:33 pm

  73. Peaceman

    Is it Horry or Whoree?

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:33 pm

    Or

    Is it Pop a Bitch?

  76. CURRY FUCKING GETS HACKED AGAIN…NO CALL????

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:39 pm

  77. Face it the Knicks are the team that can’t shoot straight.

    I’d take my chances against them in wild west gun fight.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:41 pm

  78. Stern tells the Refs…

    Follow the script.

    No calls on big power post players.

    Give those Euro dudes the benefit of the doubt.

    THAT’S RACIST!

  79. BULLSHIT FOUL ON LEE!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:46 pm

  80. This game is over!!!!

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:49 pm

  81. Duncan gets touched with a feather foul on Lee!

    Lee gets mauled after recieving a pass from Z-Bo…

    No Call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There’s something just not right about David Stern’s N.B.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 9:50 pm

  82. Yeah DVJ

    Change Change Change.

    But guys weak on foriegn policy and border defense are suspect in my eyes.

    I don’t play race or gender politics with my vote!

    Fuck the Republicans too!

    And fuck the Spurs and the crooked refs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  85. DVJ

    Nothing personal.

    But like peaceman, I’m ride or die, I hurt’s to see this team lose.

    It hurts worse to see them not compete.

    Big Shot Bob’s warming up again.

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:07 pm

  90. I hear you O&B….it’s cool to have your opinions.

    I just feel like we’ll never get anywhere with the current team we have.

    Since Isiah won’t make any moves…the only way to clearly get better is
    through the draft. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that.

    It may seem weird to you guys for a while but eventually you’ll get use to
    me not cheering for the Knicks.

    I truly in my heart hope the Spurs win tonight and I hope the Knicks lose, lose and
    lose some more.

  91. Nice shot Jamal….keep taking those bad shots buddy.

    Manu with the lay up!!!

    Like I said half hour ago….this game is over.

    Soon as the Spurs got it under 10…I knew it was a wrap.

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:10 pm

  92. Change in 08!!!!!!!!!!

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:11 pm

  93. WHY IS COLLINS SHOOTING???
    ARE WE TRYING TO TANK?????

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:14 pm

  94. “ARE WE TRYING TO TANK?????”

    We should be!!!!!!!!!

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:14 pm

  95. Terrible coaching!!!

    Bunch of slackers!!!

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:18 pm

  96. I know you guys are disgusted. So much so you can’t even type.

    Did you hear Walt, Kenny and Breen say the Knicks look like they
    just want the game to be over?

    It’s that obvious….
    If they could say Isiah should be fired on TV….they would!!!!

    Terrible….just terrible.

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:20 pm

  97. A win against the champs slips through their fingers.DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    By George M. on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:21 pm

  98. Yes!!!!!!!!

    Another Loss!!!!

    One Step Closer To Change!!!

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:23 pm

  99. That’s a bytch as crowd.

    Knicks play hard competitive- not to mention some bonehead plays to leave Finley open, and their inability to hit clutch free throws.

    Still the crowd with it’s fucking booos.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:24 pm

  100. 14-36
    14-36
    14-36
    14-36

    Let that soak in a little bit LOL….

    Out of 50 games…we’ve LOST 36 of them!!

    Wow!!!!!

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:24 pm

  101. Yeah DVJ

    I can understand coming up short.

    I can’t understand not competing.

    They did that tonight.

    Yes of course, they should have had a guy on Finley but heck so many messed up things have happened to result in losses for the Knicks.

    If Isiah goes. I honestly hope that guys who deserve to stay do indeed remain.

    I know you think all except Lee and Nate should go.

    I would keep Balkman, and if we are to be mathmatically eliminated, then lets play Morris and Chandler.

    But while there is still hope this team just can’t throw in the towel.

    I hated that about Boston, and IMHO it’s a cowards way out.

    Lets Go Knicks!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:29 pm

  102. Listen ya’ll

    I think this team is showing some fight.

    They also tend to revert to one on one play and the same old Crawford isos when things get tight.

    The ball stops moving, teams take advantage of that predictability.

    To some extent that’s on the coach.

    But the inability to hit the free throws when you need to also hurts.

    With the Knicks if something is going well another aspect of their game is not going well.

    While I don’t think this team will get to the postseason, I don’t think we’ll lose at as prolific a pace as the Heat, Sonics, and Wolves.

    So we might as well develop the players on this team that are worth developing.

    Some guys do have to go.

    For expiring contracts and late roud picks if possible.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:34 pm

  103. Stop it Davonn…
    This is my team and I’ll go down with them before I
    comitt to rooting against them! That’s pure bullshit!
    We played our asses off tonight and the Spurs got a Miracle
    with that last second Fuckup! May Shaq & Nash kick Kobe’s ass back
    back to demanding another trade! Lets GO SUNS!!!!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:34 pm

  104. GSW vs Detroit or the Magic for the Chip!!!!
    Lets GO GSW!!!!
    ABBTL.ABBTL. ANY BODY BUT THE LAKERS!

    By Peaceman on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:38 pm

  105. DVJ

    was the first guy to boldy predict 57 wins

    and is the 1rst to shit on the team when their struggling.

    Yes some genuine changes need to be made, and we all have something to say about it.

    But Like I said to Trane, I don’t relish in another person’s misery and rooting for the Knicks to lose is like rooting for the team and the players to only know misery. There has to be some sunlight in the midst of all this grey.

    Regardless of what happens this team needs to develop healthy habits, and work ethic, play aware of the situation, and conscious of passing the ball to open up easier shot opportunities.

    I will never root for misery.

    I cheer on hope and a fight or die approach.

  107. Thanks for the kind and consoling words Gents. Every day is so precious — an unpromised gift.

    I decided to watch the game on ESPN Gamecast and Knick Defense again, braced and prepared for the worst. The “worst” didn’t happen — but the substitute result still felt as bad. How, how, how did the Knicks lose the only three point shooter (Michael Finley) that they had on the floor? I appreciated the Spurs players explanation that they took advantage of Balkman’s youth and inexperience, which was funny to hear since it echo Thomas’ latest statements which sounded a bit Monty-ish. Balkmen was cheating and trying to play the two, when he should have just played the three. I think I’ve been saying this, but Balkman is still relying on his speed, hustle and athleticism and not his brain. I hope this was a hard lesson learned for him. This is not the first time he has played the situation wrong. C’mon Balk, please don’t do that shyte again.

    I do understand the perspective that one can root for the team by rooting for the lottery and the firing of Thomas’: I understand, but I must admit it is more difficult to read that perspective during game time than it is to listen to Breen or sit in a room full of Celtic fans and Paul Pierce. That is not a request that anyone (DVJ) change their perspective (I support diverse viewpoints amongst our legion), but I want my viewpoint to be known… I do know how to do a fundamental skip-pass from the chest.

    Disappointing.

    BTW, why did Wilson Chandler start and get only 9 minutes. Did that one TO and 2 rebounds make Zeke unhappy? What was that about?

    Later.

  109. The team is never more important than the fans.
    We know what’s going on because it’s clear as daylight.

    You don’t believe me?
    Well read this……LOL

    Isiah Takes Shot At Knick Media Policy
    February 9, 2008 - 5:36 am
    New York Daily News -
    Knick coach Isiah Thomas took a shot at the team’s suffocating media policy on Friday, the New York Daily News is reporting.

    In response to comments Nets president Rod Thorn made concerning their level of interest in Shaquille O’Neal, Thomas said: “I don’t know if Rod would say that if he was with the Knicks. I don’t know if he would be that free to comment like that.” [READ]

    Change in 08!!!!!!!!!

    Still I prefer that dude to Hillary RODMAN Clinto.

    Anyone ever heard the term MACHONA!

    Describes her to a T!

  112. Ok before I am out for the day and perhaps the remaider of the season…

    Here is some news regarding your Eastern Conference Cellar Dwelling New York Knicks!

    Mighty Mouse West- the Eastern Conference’s version resides in New York amongst other rodents who inhabit the subways and slumway of the NYC- takes a stand for Isiah Thomas in his season of despair.

    Go NY Go NY GO!

    Zach Randolph the Knicks own version of Mighty Joe Young, admits that the losing is starting to get to him.

    Go NY Go NY GO!

    It’s official, the medical procedure to remove Bone Spurs from Stephon Marbury’s ankle, never mind his skull, has resulted in complications which will keep the enigmatic Bi-Polar Knicks’ Point Gaurd out for the rest of the season.

    Can the Knicks now officially petition for that injury exception and try to obtain a Point Gaurd to replace Marbury and Back up Rose who we will likely be taking in the draft!

    Go NY Go NY GO!

    Trade rumors are swirling involving the Knicks and Bulls!

    Go NY Go NY NO!

  114. Imagine if we end up getting Big Ben and Ron Ron.

    Then we’ll have a problem scoring LOL.

    I’d rather have the defense instead of the offense.

    Change in 08!!!!!!

    By DaVonn Obama Jefferson on Feb 9, 2008 at 10:02 am

  115. So let me get this straight, the Knicks are winning by 3. All the Knicks need to do is guard the three or foul and they’ll get the ball back in position to win. So what do the Knicks do they give up the three letting the game go into over time. Also in the overtime, Thomas showed the inability to substitute. For a guy in the hall of fame, this guy knows nothing about coaching. He can’t manage the clock or substitute.

    Also, the fourth quarter proved that David Lee, Balkman, Zach, Crawford should be 4 of the five starters. When they’re on the court together, good things happen.

    How do retard African Peacewoman and KKKandiman feel about Isiah now and about this wasted season?

    By ed drossman on Feb 9, 2008 at 12:31 pm

  116. @Obama

    At this point I don’t care who we get,JUST SOMEBODY.

    I need a reason to take more of this pain this Knick team is dishing out.

    Starting to believe it is Zeke that has to go for us to win.

    I always gave him the benefit of the doubt,no more,no mas!

    By D L T Knicks on Feb 9, 2008 at 12:32 pm

  117. Ouch!

    Drossman has infested Knicks Defense.

    It seems he is trying to communicate a big I told you so!

    I don’t know the history between the former KK guys and the Dorss effect but please don’t let this virus spread!

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 9, 2008 at 1:54 pm

  118. DLT

    The losing bothers me as it bothers most fans.

    But at this point the losing is the result of mistakes relating to a learning experience that the younger players should have been experiencing earlier in the season or last year, then I’ll be ok with it.

    Why?

    Well the young guys, and not the players with dibs on Thomas, should play.

    Also while, peaceman is correct that no draftpick is gauranteed to turn the Knicks fortunes around, a high draft pick might help us secure a player who fit a particular need.

    By Orange and Blue on Feb 9, 2008 at 2:00 pm

  119. Hey Peace…today, I’m your worst nightmare!!!

    I’ve been thinking this for a while now but didn’t want to upset you. But a writer for the GS Warriors wrote it…so I’m not such a bad guy. Zeke has

    Warriors should trade for Artest

    The Warriors are NBA rebels. Davis is the NBA’s least-heralded bona fide star. Jackson is the face of everything that’s wrong with the league despite being a rather nice guy and a great teammate — and a really good player, it turns out. Coach Don Nelson is regarded as a gimmicky mad scientist though he’s one of the game’s greatest minds. The most recent addition, forward Chris Webber, is hardly as revered as you’d expect from one of the most influential big men of the modern era, having changed the game with his combination of size, skill and athleticism.

    So, since the Warriors are filling the Rodney Dangerfield role, why not go all out and trade for Sacramento Kings forward Ron Artest?

    By BARF on Feb 9, 2008 at 3:13 pm

  120. BARF,
    That trade would make me a GSW Fan! After the Knicks!
    Kansas ST vs OKLA ST is on right now. Espn is Pimping Beasley! I’m telling you guys
    this is a weak draft! Not One Franchise player that I’ve seen! Beasley may be Frye 2!!!!!!
