Who would have guessed that the Heatles would be so much more entertaining off the court than on the court.

If you are going to make fun of Dwayne Wade, Dwayne Wade is taking his ball and going home.

I can already see this being cited during the ESPN 30 for 30 on how the Lebron, Wade, Bosh move did not work out. I believe the next step is for the big three to get “I’m rubber your glue” matching tattoos.

A good breakdown of tonight’s Grizzlies vs. Knicks match-up from the perspective of a Grizzly fan. This comes from Memphis fan blog 3 Shades of Blue.

Memphis is playing really well lately. With big men Gasol and Zach Randolph they are going to be a tough match-up for the Knicks tonight. The Knicks do not match up with this team well and will need to be moving the ball and getting their bench involved if they want to win. It would be nice if Turiaf is healthy enough to play tonight because they will need him. I believe the key to the game tonight will be for the Knicks to score more points than the Grizzlies (I love when the announcers say things like this).  The actual key I think will be the play of Toney Douglas. If he can play well and help keep Conley under control I think we have a good shot. I also guarantee win or lose Gasol and Randolph will each go double figures in rebounds.

Do you think Lebron wants to re-think the Decision?

Another breakdown of why last night was an awesome night to catch the Amare/Melo show.

What else happened last night:

The Knicks follow Charlie Sheen’s Motto

If not for those 2 horrible losses to the Cavs this team plus Carmelo has been awesome. Tonight they crushed the Jazz. By midway into the third quarter Charlie Sheen had a better chance of being named father of the year than the Jazz had of winning.

  • The only negative tonight was that Al Jefferson looked like a hall of famer tonight. He was unstoppable and obviously the Knicks need to figure out how to defend a big man like this. He did a great impression of JJ Hickson vs. Knicks.
  • Jared Jeffries scored zero but he was a hero (I am a poet). He may have only had 6 rebounds but he did all the little things on D and looked great.  I especially liked how he hustled and saved a couple of balls going out of bounds by throwing the ball off the jazz players.
  • Watching Carmelo and Amare pass to each other and work the pick and roll made my nipples hard. If they can play unselfish and continue to look for one another they are going to be tough to contain. I also love the fact that Carmelo can take the ball up court on occasion taking some pressure off the pg and giving a different look to the offense.
  • Toney Douglas’s message tonight was hey Chauncey, take your time recovering.
  • Shelden Williams has 13 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds…nope, not a misprint.
  • Newly acquired Derek Brown played 12 minutes and had 3 great thrown downs, I wonder if this guy will get another shot to play any time soon.
  • Andy Rautins actually looked decent in his five minutes, including hitting a nice jumper.
  • Roger Mason has now played 50 minutes in the last two games. I would have predicted the overthrow of Egypt before I would have predicted this.

For those of you who missed Chris Bosh’s post-game interview from last night, here it is

You can really tell these Heat players care about winning.

"There are a couple guys crying in the locker room right now,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "It’s not a question of want."

I do not think I could make a joke funnier than the actual story here.

Unlike the Heat, the Knicks can beat playoff teams

Episode 43 – All Time Knicks Fantasy Draft

Be sure to check out out post on podcast where we did our all time (post 1990) Knicks team draft and vote on who has the better team (in the poll on the top of the main page). And, not to influence your voting but Jay’s team would make this current team look like a defensive juggernaut.

The Knicks really came together today and rebounded from an awful, atrocious, abominable, awful, dreadful, painful, terrible, unspeakable (you get the picture) loss on Friday against the Cavs. This team has really looked pretty good except when playing the NBA’s bad news bears squads.

  • Roger Mason Jr. had played in 11 games for a total of just under 8 minutes up to this point in the season. Mason tonight went for 25 minutes, played a +25, hit a big 3 from the corner and even blocked 2 shots. Maybe he heard our podcast and this is his answer for why he should not have been released.
  • The Knicks actually played some defense tonight. They held the Hawks to 79 points tonight which about what most teams are averaging against the Knicks in the first 3 quarters.
  • Anthony Carter proved me wrong tonight as well. I had said he would not start in the d-league and he actually looked pretty good and even hit some clutch treys.
  • Amazingly, Billups did not play and Carmelo had a vintage Allen Iverson shooting night and the Knicks still won.
  • Amare had another good game and Landry looked awesome as always (my mancrush on him only grows each game).
