GAME NOTES
The Heat are [...]

Chris Wilcox has played a combined 30 minutes in four games for the Knicks, and Larry Hughes played 34 alone last night, so the “we have to get the new guys acclimated” argument isn’t viable anymore.  I think the reason Mike D’Antoni isn’t playing Wilcox is because he won’t be resigned this summer, and it’s not worth [...]

In Marc Stein’s weekly weekend dime, Nate Robinson is listed as the leading candidate for the prestigious Sixth Man Award two trimesters award, but only because of injuries to Manu Ginobli and Jason Terry.
“…Both of the best sixth men in the game — and the likely winner of this award — reside in the Southwest [...]

It is of this fan’s opinion that Chris Duhon has been nothing short of spectacular this year.  He’s proven himself to be a smart, team-oriented, “true” point gaurd – the type of player that fits perfectly with D’Antoni’s high octane style of offense. Not to mention one hell of a keeper in many fantasy leagues.

But [...]

So this passes for a blog post these days…
I apologize for anyone tired of the Steph stuff, but this was too infuriating not to post.
“…New York and Boston were linked again through the sports world tonight in what was a Tale of Two Cities and Two Gardens.
Stephon Marbury Stephon Marbury gets a standing ovation [...]

Mike D’Antoni has tried several different combinations since the trades to try and get a handle on who may work best with who, but I’ve noticed that in the several games since the deals he has not  put Chris Wilcox and David Lee together.
And I have no idea why.
Maybe Mike thinks they are identical players [...]

“Stop blowing the whistle!!”
What a brutal performance by Jason Phillips , Dan Crawford , John Goble tonight.
Horrid.
But it’s easy to get on the refs. My second reaction relates to the Knicks for coming out ridiculously flat and allowing these three individuals, as well as the Sixers, to dictate the game.
The Knicks are not [...]

With the news officially coming down from league headquarters that Stephon Marbury is indeed headed to the Boston Celtics – and may suit up and see minutes as early as tonight against the Pacers – I ask all of you: what does this do to your feelings toward the Celtics?  

I detest every sports franchise [...]

Barbara Barker wrote an intriguing article for Newsday this week.  With Knicks legend Pat Ewing in the building, and Stephon Marbury having just let the door hit him on the way out one final time, the issue over what it takes to succeed (see: Mr. Ewing) or fail (see: Mr. Clownfish)  in the world’s most [...]
