Good win the other night by our Knicks. Jamal got hot, Zach had another solid game, and Lee came in off the bench and produced. So we were able to close them out, but like so many of the defenders have said already, Jamal isn’t always going to shoot like that, so the keys to a victory today up in Toronto may be a little different. Jamal, when he gets going like that, is fun to watch however. As Gus Johnson would say, “Crawford has in-the-gym range!”
The game time tonight is slated for 6pm.
The Knicks have to take care of the basketball, play tight defense, and, like everybody’s been saying lately, move the ball. If they do these things, can they make it two on a row? In a few hours we find out.
I did get to see some of the #2 Tennessee vs #1 Memphis last night, what a great game. This guy Prince on Tennessee is just a heck of a competitor, they gave it 110% in terms of rebounding and defense and knocked out the undefeated Memphis to take their #1 ranking in the nation.
Derrick Rose looked like the real deal. We’ll see more from him during March Madness, but just going from last night, he can be a leader in the NBA. He had 24, 5, 5 and did whatever the game required him to do at that moment. Good ability to go coast to coast and finish at the rack, solid defense, got his teammates involved, can drive to the basket and take a hit, can pull up and stick the jumper, reminds me a little of D Wade. He might be a little short to play the two guard in NBA, but we’ll have to wait and see how his game translates at the NBA level. Dumars was a hall of fame two guard and he was the same height as Rose. Right now it looks like Rose or Beasley will go #1 and #2 in the draft, Beasley did had 44 and 13 last night, but his team also lost.
Free Wilson Chandler!

Christian Leaders Blame Folly Scandal On “Radical Gay Rights Movement,” “Political Correctness,” “Tolerance and Diversity”
Posted by Jennifer Siegel, October 3, 2006, 3:09 pm
The Forward just received a statement from a coalition of conservative Christian leaders that expresses outrage over the Charles Folly scandal and calls for a full investigation, not the least because:
“We are very concerned that the early warnings of Mr. Folly’s odd behavior toward young male pages may have been overlooked or treated with deference, fearing a backlash from the radical gay rights movement because of Mr. Foley’s sexual orientation. It appears that the integrity of the conservative majority has given way to political correctness, trading the virtues of decency and respect for that of tolerance and diversity.”
Yo dis guy is famous!! Respeck! Westside, LOL
Yao has a broken foot; out for the season.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3265631
wow. that’s a tough one for the rockets. they have been playing so well too with 13 in a row or something like that. tragic.
Reminiscent of the Ewing wrist.
I’m still analyzing the double entendre from those comments by BOTH Stern and Dolan and that useful piece submitted by Tman.
Steady will require the assistance of all the blog heavies. Be sure to keep a fair dose of conspiracy in the equation.

In the name of levity and to move the fuck on–to the Ws, this message is brought to you by the chartered members of the Blow Me Club. Just tell ehrrybody…
The Answer to Valentine’s Day
Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for your wife or girlfriend by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and any other baubles that women find romantic.
Secretly… guys feel left out. That’s right…left out. There’s no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the men in their life. Men as a whole are either too proud or just too embarrassed to admit it. This is why a new holiday has been created.
March 20th is now officially a Steak, Blow Job & Shut Your Mouth Day. Simple, effective and self-explanatory…this holiday has been created so you ladies can have a day to show your man just how much you love him.
No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town. The name of the holiday explains it all…just a steak, a BJ & shut your mouth for the rest of the day! That’s it! This twin pairing of Valentines Day and Steak, Blow Job & Shut Your Mouth Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere will try THAT much harder in February to ensure a more memorable March! It’s like a perpetual love machine.
The word is already spreading, but as with any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling.
So spread the word, and help bring love and peace to this crazy world.
http://www.steakandbjday.com. i’ve been hearing about this thing for a couple years now. not much traction in my abode. i bow to the dude who has such an agreeable (compliant?) wife/gf.
Follymach,
Whadup wit dis?
“What the hell?! ANOTHER half-black blogger in here? so, what’re we up to now, 155 of youse? man, what’re the odds (long), but[...]”
” it does colour in a lot more of that tribal dna. hm. interesting.”
Is this a veiled slight at the only defender who speaks an actual language of the americas?
I’m hurt mortaly wounded, I’ll be needing phsycological grief counseling to cope with the slight.
how will I ever write a line in this blog going foward?
Hey Steady and Folly
what if you gave up red meat what could you substitute for steak on that Steakblowme-&-STFU day?
Hey isn’t it the case with the Rockets that it’s either Yao or Tracy that are always getting hurt sometime during the year.
Fuck em, they beat the Knicks twice they can rot with their broken down tandem.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha!
Anti
I read that PG preview from RealGM, you hooked us up wit.
I’m really jonesing for the Knicks to nab Rose.
The Knicks are the headless ballteam and we need to get an orchestrator in with some quickness.
Yo follymach
It is a good point what you said about all of us here having to back up what we talking bout!
Maybe it’s me but I think the U.S. sensitivity to certain words isn’t as delicate as that of Canada’s.
I mean kids throw offensive words around on playgrounds, sorta like tease words.
Perhaps I’m a little more immune. Don’t know whether that’s a good thing or bad thing.
@195
Use JB.
Just Bloggin’ covers all bunk.

Good morning Defenders. I just love waking up. The possibilities for good are endless, starting with the first breath and the first thought in my mind. It’s all good.
Morning KD. Today is very tight so I’m not sure I can break off a little Hawk intel. I would like to since we have four games to play against them but I think I waited to long. I see CF has provided a lengthy offering, but I’ll have to make amends for encouraging it by making a B-Ball post (instead of a B-Ball related post) my next joint.
Jay Bee at #101. Thanks for the heads-up bro. You know I had to read what I could read quickly first. Some people can’t take a joke.
Damn Anti, Folleymach v. Lives. Shoot, Uncle, I mean, “Monkey’s Uncle,” I mean I give up man, because Folly already delivered a knock out blow if you make him the head-liner. Sheeeesh. You’re getting popcorn for a petulant rook against an egotistical pro. That means I already got the beat down. Dag.
I was LMAO, especially since I peeped CF’s reference to my super-sized ego at the end of his post. That’s so freakin’ funny; all my life whenever I refuse to bow down and submit to anyone that requires an enormous amount of stroking they resort to accusing me of having an ego on steroids. Funk it then. I want to end this issue now. I reuse to go down like Roger Clemens, who still isn’t getting beat down as bad as Barry Bonds. I will go the way of Petite and Giambi. I ADMIT TO TAKING STEROIDS FOR MY EGO. I AM SORRY. BUT WHAT IS AN AT-LEAST-HALF-BLACK MAN TO DO IN AMERICA TO KEEP UP WITH THE COMPETITION. I was at this party at Mario Cuomo’s house and I do remember holding court with Jesse Jackson, Barry Bonds and Bryant Gumbel. I remember Bryant’s wife was showing Barry’s wife the tat on her tit and we were all just a little toasted and cracking up. The Jesse told us about his planned book, “The Audacity To Think Highly Of One’s Self,” and he told us about this ego enhancer he uses. Well, the rest is what it is. But, I apologize. I WAS NOT TRYING TO GET AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. I was just trying to catch up. I’m sorry, apparently I took too much.
Cooley. I love you brother man. I just sent up a special prayer for you and the Defenders. I’m feeling the Acela. Look out for a personal message. KD knows whats good.
Steady you’re a bad boy. But check this out. My wife said tell Hallmark to create a card and she’ll get with the program. Shoot, I got Publisher 2003 and some paper. . . .I’m on it.
Good Morning Mr. Hahn. I hope you’re doing well. I see you’re keeping your readers on top of things, maybe just a step slower than the Defenders here but you know what’s good. I just checked you out and I see you are giving the Defenders mad props without actually saying so. Imitation is the best form of flattery.
Ali-G, you’ve been cracking me up. Tell Peace to give me a shout out. Tell Peace I think Alan referenced the same pre-NBA scouting report about Curry that he posted here.
African, where are you? Did you see your boy D-Nice is on his way to GEICO.
Morning O&B. KD has me watching Rose and Beasley. Without a major free agent signing or a trade, we are probably in for another 33 win season next year with either of those guys as rooks. Beasley’s defense scares me, but I guess we would take Carmelo Anthony if he were available, so what’s another non-Defender among non-Defenders? I’ve got to watch Rose more closely. I am interested in his decision making off the dribble. What is his shooting percentage 44%? That’s improvable with lots of practice. I think decision-making off the dribble is harder to improve on the fly if you’re already a shooter. WHile checking out Marcus WIlliams, you can see he is having a real problem with off-the-bounce moves. Unbelievable. He passes in the air quite a bit. I think Devon Harris may get that job, although Thorn really wanted to give it ot Williams. Anyway, the top of the draft doesn’t do a lot for me.
I miss States with his cutting arsenal of jibber-jabber. It is no fun throwing out Marbury Jams without retort. I’ll have to resort to responding to myself again. But, I never expect to have that problem with my boy Folly.
Folly babe. I. . . I. . .
I want to start my response be saying. . . You win man. You are the stirring straw. The big Kahuna. . . .You are the King Defender. I give up my throne. Yes, that musty black bean-bag from 1979 in my basement is all yours. It’s time for me to get out of the basement and go upstairs. I’ll have to check out your LAP in total later, but it sounds like from the responses you really make somecompellingarguments. So I offer my virtual concession. . . .It’s all done in love.
Peace, Blessings and Have a Wonderful day defenders.
Whooooooa. Did I miss someting or what?
Stephon Marbury can be a unrestricted free agent this summer? He has an “early termination option”?
Can somebody explain?
I meant to give you this reference regarding Available Free Agents
Lives,
I thought about headlining Folly in front of you—because I’m not one in making the underdog feel bad. It’s like me writing Folly VS Mike Tyson(in his hay day, or probably any day). A casual reader would take take as Folly a headliner, one to be reckoned with. A reader in the know—-who knows Mike Tyson—well do I really need to explain.
Guess who’s Mike Tyson around these parts?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Soon guys I would like to be interviewing my fellow Defenders and post it on KD’s forum section.
I recommend you Defenders to get Yahoo’s (IM) Instant Message and then add my name on your list: antinysn@yahoo.com
Knicksdefense is the first person I would like to interview then Lives, and subsequent names after that.
Thanks for the partcipation!!!
Whadup yall
Lives sometimes the path best taken is the one of least resistance.
I’m glad you did that, now we don’t have to talk about dialectics and Kantian discourses and the like.
You saved us from all that.
Good response!
Anyhow.
The Daily Sleuth is up to their old gambit on speculating on the future of the Knicks.
This time they have Kiki Vandeweghe as the lead horse to replace Isiah as GM of the organization.
The replacements in Kiki’s domain have also been speculated.
Them boys at the Sleuth must love that crystal bong!

The drink don’t pick the straw.Oh, oh, Steph got caught… again.Post pg.11
Lives, from my perspective, I made an effort to be concilliatory in tone (geez, why’d it take me so long to figure out how to link to the exact comment instead of the whole danged thread?! duh!), even straight up admitting my bias and then just when I’m thinkin things are cool (esp after our previous
exchange of love lettersdetente), I get the ol brick-in-the-velvet-glove treatment. So, of course, it’s on all over again.I’m definitely more lover than fighter, but there hasn’t been a day yet where I’ve woken up, yawned and then thought to myself, “ahh, wot a great day to be a punk!” Not yet. Not yet. I’m no headliner, but I’ll swing if swung at. I mean, dude, just what did you expect?
It
amazes mecomes as no surprise that you now roll into the who-me mode talmbout, “all my life whenever I refuse to bow down and submit to anyone that requires an enormous amount of stroking,” as if you wuz just mindin your own bidniz, surreptitiously ogglin mrs. bryant’s titties when some brown-skinneded brute lumbered over to you and knocked the henny out ya hand.Not so, m’man. Stick to the masterful pre-game raps Lives, cuz your post-game review walks with a tilt.
Anti, we’re Rocky (Lives) an Hulk Hogan (me) — I may look menacing, but in the end there’s no way I lose to the popular champ. It’s all an exhibition.
O&B, as others have pointed out it’s not easy to make sweeping generalizations about a people, but I think it’s a fair characterization that Canadians IN GENERAL are less confrontational than Americans, if not less sensitive. But, hey, I wasn’t actually born on Canuck soil so you can unnerstan if i didn’t quite get all the way with the program
Good AM Defenders!
It is a great morning and In my inner sanctum I hear sweet, sweet music.
@Anti, you’re a funny dude and we miss you when you disappear…You Crack Me Up
@ROCK STEADY, thank you for sharing a portion of the Blow Me Club’s Mission Statement…Defenders, If you can get your Significant others to agree to participate in Steak, BJ (Directly after you lie in the fetal position, that is why the next part is critical), Shut Your Mouth Day, ROCK STEADY will release to you the Club’s Vision Statement. Once you see that piece you’ll really bust a nutt…Sorry I meanrt Gutt…LOL LOL LOL This Shyte is so exciting sometimes…I lose control…OOOOOPPPPS
@LIVES, the skip pass, bounce pass, two hand chest pass, the outlet pass, and in this instance, the NO LOOK PASS is very applicable…My Good Man, never fall for the Ole Tongue & Cheek Colonialist Shell Game…Just ask the Native Americans!
Defenders, in an effort to keeping the THREAD light and humurous, here are some Real Management Tips for you!
Take copious notes and enjoy……………………
MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE – A little Humor for Monday!!!
Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower as his wife is getting out, when the doorbell rings. She quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
She opens the door to Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.”
After thinking for a moment, she drops it and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
Wrapping herself in the towel, as she gets to the bathroom, her husband
asks: “Who was that?”
“It was Bob the next door neighbor”she replies.
“Great!” the husband says, “did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders (and Management team), in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift. As she sat in the car, she could not help but reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” He removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?”
The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”
Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk and their manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie pops out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish”.
“Me first! Me first!” says the admin clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Puff! She’s gone.
“Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Puff! He’s gone.
“OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch”.
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 4:
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing?” The eagle
answered: “Sure, why not.”
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson 5:
A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, “but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.”
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally, after a� fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.
Lesson 6:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Moral of the story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!
Have a productive and constructive day DEFENDERS!
Keep it POPPIN
LMAO @ those “Pearls of Wisdom” dropped on us (no pun intended…lol) @ post #122.
Homie, you’re wisdom knows NO BOUNDS…..
I ask that YOU KEEP EM’ POPPIN!!!!!
steak ‘n’ BJ ‘n’ STFU day only cums once a year boys, so make it last longer’n three minutes

Words for the wise – Good Stuff!!!!!
Cooleyhigh,
and you call me funny!!!! lol

KDJakes Cooleyhigh,
I see that’s how ya scroll when the Force is wit ya.
Useful and witty. Very witty. Especially Lesson 6–Resolved.
Let’s GTW 2nite Defenders.
KFLL
Those lessons were very funny.
Especially the last two about shit and bullshit.
Steady
Thanks for the input regarding the steak BJ & STFU day.
I” gladly substitute bufalo meat, snake meat or mebbe even Llama heart instead.
Gentlemen, you know how to start a Defenders day, good vibrations and good libations (Thank you Tman, but talk about a pick-pocketing man-hug.:) )Cooley, that was so hilarious, it helped me laugh all the way to the office and back this morning. Anti,he’s right, we do miss you. St. George and Post-Up are among the missed too. I blame Monty and Dolan for the MIAs. Messed up a good season. . . .
Thank you gents, some good and useful confirmations, affirmations and information this morning. Later.
I was just about to write a little bit and I see that tonight is Charlotte and Friday is Atlanta. I don’t think Gerald Wallace is back. I feel for him.
I feel for Yao too. Actually, it’s the fans who will miss out because that West race was promising ot be really hot with at least four Championship caliber teams (Suns (need more time to simmer), Lakers (Bynum makes them scary), Houston (oh, well), Spurs (they’re just playing around),and maybe Dallas (Kidd is a wilfull mug, but he can’t clog up the middle and play like the center they really need). So that was going to be a good season ending war.
Now I’m out for real.
What has Kiki done that merits the GM job? He signed Kenyon to a max deal, screwed their cap. I love Kenyon, but he ain’t Kobe, LeBron, Dwayne or ChrisP.
I’d rather some my homeboy, MJ (the real MJ), Mark Jackson, get the job. A real NY Knick. (Would somebody tell Mark to come home and stop messing around in the swamp?)
I don’t want a hired gun to come in and think he has to make noise, trade Marbury, Zach and 5 first round draft picks for Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming.
HarlmeninMD
Concur wholeheartedly with your post # 132
O&B,
What about Springbok or rhinoceros or even wilderbeast or wharthog?
Guess it’s time for a new thread Blogzilla. Before we start to eat our innards again
