I thought the Knicks were getting Earl Barron?

Earl Barron in his first game back, signed with the Bucks, he played 15 minutes and got 9 boards, 5 of them on offense. Good thing the Knicks don’t need any big men.

If the Knicks could just learn how to run they would be better.

I find this stuff fascinating. It all comes from the popular book Born to Run. I haven’t known anyone who has actually switched their running style but it makes me curious about what it would be like to try. I wonder if this will soon me the new trend in sports. Maybe the Knicks can be ahead of a trend for once.

Anthony Randolph releases his potential all over the Pistons

Anthony Randolph 24 minutes, 19 Points, 10 Rebounds. Thanks Dantoni, I am pretty sure we do not need this production off our bench.

Knicks treat the Hornets like a small child

The version of the Knicks that beat Miami came out swinging tonight. The team has driven us crazy lately with their up and down moments and tonight was an up night. The Knicks, minus Billups, looked in control all game. They looked cool and calm like Brad Pitt in Fight Club.

  • T.Douglas  looked awesome tonight. 24 points, 10-13 from the field. I am shocked that our combo of TD and Carter was so good.
  • Carmelo and Amare looked awesome tonight and Shawne Williams is our best bench player when he doesn’t start
  • I am not saying Chris Paul is unhappy in New Orleans but if you are a real estate broker in the New Orleans area you may want to pass him your card.
  • Roger Mason shot 2-2 which quadrupled his season’s FG%. I am fairly certain Mason deserves a cake from Carvel for that.

Greg Oden on the Knicks, Can you say Isiah like move?

5 Reasons Why the Knicks Should Go After Greg Oden

This is just a terribly thought out suggestion. Do the Knicks really need a big man who will spend the rest of his career injured? This would be the type of move I would expect from Isiah if he takes over as GM again.

The Best Moment from Last Night: Shawne Williams big dunk over Dwight Howard

Jameer Nelson Buries the Knicks, D.Howard Finishes Off Billups

The Knicks played well tonight and it looked like smooth sailing for a while. Midway through the 3rd quarter the Knicks were up by 10 and it looked like another great victory was coming. Of course, there are 4 quarters and the Magic stepped it up late. There is a lot to like about tonight but moral victories don’t count in the standings.

  • Jameer seemed unstoppable in the second half. Someone might want to guard him when he goes for a layup.
  • Howard is big and Knicks are not. They had no answer for him. Though, Howard had quite a dirty answer for Billups, knocking him out of the game by sticking his knee out on a screen.
  • 97 free throws tonight. That is a lot. Billups was a crazy 18-20 from the line.
  • Billups and Amare had 30 while Carmelo had 25 which is great but only 12 rebounds between the 3 of them and Billups had half of those.
  • Landry Fields seems always to dominate the +/- battle with a +9 tonight while Shawne Williams had a -17. Shawne actually looked good tonight but the bench was weak.  This team is not going to win consistently until they can get more help off the bench consistently.
  • Billups has got this team looking smooth on offense. He should be nicknamed Mr. Chemistry. I don’t know why I was resistant to swapping Felton for Billups.
