One quick note on Duhon and how he was the perfect signing. Over the summer, Coach K said that Duhon was only one of two players he ever coached that he could honestly say never got tired.

Imagine another point guard playing the amount of minutes that Duhon is playing, and playing them at the pace that Duhon is being asked to play them at? We would be sunk even more than we are right now.

I have never really liked Ridnour. And I would love to have Swift right now. Active defender in the middle. Back when he was brought up, I was not willing to give up much more than Malik Rose to get him, but just forgetting about what we would have to give up in return, you would not take a healthy Stro right now?

I would also like Sean Williams and Josh Boone, both are less than perfect. I just think that the dire situation the Knicks are in right now, they need anything resembling an interior defender.

And come to think of it, Ridnour would be welcomed right now. Having him as a backup would be better than having Anthony Roberson as a backup. But overall, I would not want Luke as my starting PG. He is not having a terrible statistical year though. 10 ppg, over 5 apg, barely over 2 turnovers per game. Not awful. But Duhon has been perfect for us thus far.

“Sometimes, I have to admit, what bothers me is the audacity for people to question TKB’s sources because we are “bloggers”. Well a few of us here have serious journalistic backgrounds; plus about twenty years of basketball knowledge and experience, combined with solid logic. More importantly, we have solid sources. But you loyal gym rat guys know what we’re about. We know this team and we know the game.”

this coming from a guy that thought STROMILE SWIFT AND LUKE RIDNOUR WERE GOOD FITS FOR THE KNICKS….

GIVE ME A BREAK….. DO US ALL A FAVOR STICK TO GOLF

Yeah LeBron would not take all the excitement and buzz out of the famous “Summer of LeBron” by signing a year early. That is not to say that he won’t go back to Cleveland.

I wouldn’t even worry about Berman or Isola. Before Donnie came in and changed the media policy they would speculate just like the rest of the fans.
I can talk Knicks all day as well Chris so don’t feel bad.
It was a bad loss last night but we have to come to the conclusion that this years Knicks are not a playoff team. We don’t bring it every night and like you said..it is painful to watch sometimes. It’s so hard to watch Jeffries shoot his jump shots. It’s so hard to watch Nate make bonehead mistakes. It’s so hard to watch Harrington and that damn behind the back dribble of his.
However, this is my team and I will not give up on them. I’m hoping we can move Lee to get at least a pick for this year and I’m also hoping he can move Nate and/or Curry for a pick this year as well. If we can have 2 or 3 draft picks this year (including ours) then I’ll be a happy camper.
Dantoni has done a fine job this year. There is only so much a coach can do with a 23 win team. Include the trade we made that got rid of both our top scorers and I think Dantoni has done the best he can do. The wheeling and dealing isn’t over yet folks.
Don’t believe that nonsense about Lebron signing with the Cavs this summer. He’s to smart of a business man to make a dumb move like that. I can’t wait until they lose in the 1st round of the playoffs this year. Call me crazy all you want.

@Expiring Contracts: I agree, I can’t stand Breen, either.

Granted, it must be hard calling a game for a losing team. But, that being said – even when the Knicks are having a good game – he always seems so enamored with the opposing team. It’s the worst when the Knicks play the Spurs. I convinced he’s gonna blow Duncan at center court one of these days.

Yeah man, Q is a tough player to watch. This is a guy who shoots under 40 % for his career, which is painful. He throws up brick after brick. He hustles, but then again, so does Jared Jeffries.

Rico, buddy, I was joking around with you.

That is why I wrote “just playing.” If I was upset about your comment, I would not have gone out of my way to write such a long response to it.

I was just messing around. I thought I was clear about not only that, but also clear about my appreciation for your previous comment.

In the future, I will watch what I write a little bit closer.
