The last game of a forgettable month for Knicks fans begins tonight when they face the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Knicks picked up a much needed win when they took Washington to overtime and were able to close out and snap their 8-game losing streak.
Hopefully they can continue and make it two in a row tonight.
I have to mention some non-knick news, apparently Phil Jackson got his panties in a bunch over the Cavs recent flip-flop regarding the reacquisition of Zydrunas Ulgauskas (I can’t stand plays whose names are as difficult to spell as Big Z’s.) Apparently Coach Jackson thinks it is unfair and he believes the NBA should not have allowed the trade which gave the Cavs Anwtawn Jamison essentially for nothing.
Does Phil Jackson remember when he got Pau Gasol ESSENTIALLY FOR NOTHING??? Many people(myself included)at the time of that transaction, believed the NBA should not have allowed that trade to take place. When the shoe is on the foot the spineless Jackson who only goes to ready-made teams complains it is unfair. I hope somebody kicks the Lakers’ ass this summer, but it is unlikely because there are certain people in the league that get hooked up. Phil Jackson got hooked up by Laker legend Jerry West, Danny Ainge got hooked up with Kevin Garnett thanks to Kevin Mchale.
Well, at least Donnie Walsh is friends with Arn Tellem. Wait, wait, who, if anyone, does Arn Tellem represent from this upcoming free agent class of 2010?
…In other news, the lowly Nets are about to beat the Boston Celtics. Go figure.

Gasol was not traded for “nothing” and they did not use the same buyout waiver pickup move that Cleveland used. If I remember correctly, Gasol’s brother Marc was in the trade deal and he is a nice player. Trade is still lopsided but I think Jackson has a legit gripe. Next year that maneuver will be cut from the new CBA.
Marc was nothing when he came into the league. It is only this year that he is making any kind of impact due to the weight loss.
At the time it was an all-star for jack squat. The essence of unfair, which is what he’s crying about now.
I still see this as kharma, although I don’t think the cavs even with an illegal Z are anywhere close enough to overthro the current champs. they’re too strong, legally or illegaly.
