Knicks Player Tweet of the Week
Just like the NBA landscape not much is going on in the twitter universe this week either. Metta gets another entry in our tweet of the week:

Government Cheese and Andrea Bargnani
How is it that a team can enter the NBA Playoffs as the Eastern Conference Number 2 Seed and not seal up the obvious weaknesses on the roster? If you are a lifetime fan of the New York Knicks, you have seen the offseason become a series of laughable blunders year after year. Large, pointless contracts to shockingly bad players and more-than-questionable free agent signings leaving the roster the only NBA team in history to equal the average age of the Golden Girls cast, have been the norm. This season, the Knicks ownership went another direction, bringing in Andrea Bargnani to bolster the roster in ways that not even the most basketball-savvy Knicks fan can understand. Somewhere in the New York Knicks mission statement is a sentence stating a hatred for 1st Round Draft Picks.
How did Nate Robinson grab that rebound over you?
In the latest edition of “Let’s Refuse to Make Sensible Moves”, the “wow” move made by the Knicks brass was bringing in Andrea Bargnani in exchange for two role players, a sign-and-trade player, a first round pick in 2016, and the second round picks in 2014 and 2017. All this for a player that his present team would have taken a trade involving three slices of government cheese, an RC Cola and Lavor Postell just to unload him. Being one that would rather hear the bad news first, lets look at what positivity could come from this trade. Continue reading

4th Annual fantasy league
It’s time for our annual fantasy league. Here are the changes and information for playing this year:
1. It will be an Auction draft, meaning every team will have a budget of 200 and can bid on any player. Your draft order is what order you can nominate players to be bid on.
2. The draft will be on Saturday, October 26th at 1pm EST.
3. There is a $20 buy in with the pot going to the top 2-3 players depending on how many people join. Send $20 to my paypal account – chkenparm@hotmail.com and put your email in the note section and I will send you an invite to join the league.
4. We will be doing a live podcast during the draft, the link to listen will be posted closer to the draft date so you can listen in/call us while the draft is taking place.
It’s been a ton of fun in previous years, looking forward to doing it again this season.
A Scoring Comparison
A big thanks to Patrick for making these charts. So we’ve been talking about how the Knicks offense is predictable when Melo and/or JR is on the floor and stagnant when they are off. And this chart would be even more skewed if you consider Amare missed 53 games last season. This breakout of team scoring pretty much sums that up:
Now lets take a look at that when compared to the two teams that made the finals last year. First the Miami Heat: Continue reading
