SHIT BROWN

i blame this on larry. he's throwing his player out to the wolves. week 9 and they have no roles yet. jerome james? from the end of the bench to the starting 5. nate? 0-30 minutes. steph? PG! no, wait! SG! bench! larry you are not going to find the golden ratio. pick a lineup and stick with it. i don't care if it's based on contracts. these guys are all pros. bad product at the garden. next time i go i'm going with a paper bag on my head. but i'll still go...

sure the garden was cheering nate and booing steph in the 4th. i'm beginning to think NY fans aren't as smart as the media thinks. nate shot 5-5 from 3. 5-5! he hustles EVERY NIGHT. most nights he shoots 30% from the field and the knicks lose. last night nate, as much as we all like him, got lucky. if anything he sets a tone. a hustling, energetic, losing one! an erratic PG whose assist/TO ration is shit is not the answer. larry is bailing now but at least he knows starting frye, nate, ariza, and lee is definitely not the answer. start Q, steph, and antonio and let them settle in....

no trades either please. al harrington will not turn us into a winner. jalen? he, on the other hand, will take us a step above the pistons. isiah unplug your phone and get jerome on a treadmill!

johnny damon report

cashman was on with benigno today and that guy is really on point. he was all 'don't get too worked up. things go wrong in baseball. i'm trying my best' this lineup is just so stacked. f a salary cap but i'm all for a salary minimum. teams gotta spend more so we don't have any more KC vs NY snoozers. though last year they whooped us. who wants to check out some games with me this year?

so the new panda bear is amazing! i know there are only two songs but they fuck me up! 'comfy in nautica' is on some ac/vashti levels. one of the top jams of the year i declare! i'm not surprised though it's impossible to hate anything these guys do.sometimes i wish i was younger just so i could listen to animal collective as a 16 year old. i wonder if i would've ended up a pothead...

soldiers of fortune killed it a little last night too. i was gonna go home after the rocko arcabascio dinner but i swung by to check out mikey bones' set. those guys shred, there no other way to put it. i'm bummed i missed the lamas. i bumped into olivia on the street and she goes, 'i'm not phil, you know'. all asians look alike it's true!

this shit is so amazing. you're a real dick if you have problems with it [julio]

ok let's not schedule the parade just yet...

i'm not really feeling this johnny damon shit. i mean, i've been hoping the yanks would get a joey gathright or nook logan to help bubba out in center. no griffeys or hunters or... damons! remember when we got a-rod and we were like, bring on the dynasty pt deux! well, the dude has been sick with an MVP under his belt as a jank already. what do we remember him for? shitty post-seasons!

ok damon is 32, making 42 mil or more, right? what have we learned about baseball in say, the last 100 years? pitching wins championships! i'm saying. we have waaay too many dubious starters right now, even if you're not counting aaron small. i know you can't just add SP's on top of SP's, but can we re-up our priorities? can we spend for a bj ryan instead? a lights out releif pitcher? and just have bubba do his thing? sure farnesworth and dotel are nice, but farnesworth is hardly as dependable as even gordon was. and dotel may not ever pitch the same way again. plus i think he's a douche.

i'm just saying that moose and randy are good pitchers still, but if they hold their era's un der 4.0 i'll be REALLY happy. wang is good, but not a stopper. pavano i have hope for still and i think wright can turn it around, but he's a back-end guy. chacon pitched BIG for us down the stretch, but this guy has been a mediocre pitcher his whole career. his value lied in the fact that he was willing to close in 'rado.

so cashman gives us another all-star bat, and takes one away from the sox. he does what he can and i don't hate him, but i just don't think this damon thing is a big deal. watch the sox sign lugo, have lowell hit 30 HR's, have manny go for another MVP, with schilling wining 14-16, and have dave roberts in C with a .330 OBP, 100 runs scored, and 40 steals... and i bet you andy marte shreds as a pro...

TGINBATV

i caught the classic game replay on NBA TV. the LJ 4 point shot game. and you know what? i got all choked up at the end! i seriously loved that team. spre! a hurt ewing! camby finally busting out! houston with knees! chris childs! JVG! and LJ! LJ! this guy played with 2 bad wheels and covered the best big on the court, even if he was a foot taller. his D was insane. that team really left it all out there and i just get so emo when i think about it. it's pretty much the last time the garden saw any life. that place fucking exploded when he hit that shot! where have all the good times gone?

that game was especially emo cause mark jackson's dad died and JVG got all brokeback and was like, 'we gave mark a ride home on our plane cause we love him'.

how weird is it that antonio davis is on the knicks right now? and how weird is it that stacey augman still gets clock in the nba? and on a good team! respect! the dominique/augmon combo in nba jam was unbeatable...

monkey movie spoiler alert

so at the end of the movie the girl and the monkey totally blaze! they make all these super tall kong / man hybrids that ball! i know, you think they're insane dunkers and shot blockers but they end up being ball handlers with shots! 3's all day... it takes 2.5 hours to get to it, but the knicks finally win the championship at the end.

and speaking of tall dudes- this weekend will told me he was an insane high school player in georgia! and he was joe forte's roomate when the went to states! forte was sick on UNC with stack. i'm bummed his career never panned out. i'm talking about will too.

and that's that

donnie walsh was on WFAN this afternoon with [the best sports dude in NY] joe benigno and of course joe just strait asks him 'what are the chances of artest coming to the knicks?' and to donnie walsh's credit he didn't even blink. he said, 'none'. there's a reason he's the best GM in the nba. he said he wasn't interested in expiring contracts and isiah wouldn't give up the young guys. good for isiah! even though artest at the garden would be BANANAS isiah's sticking to his plan. maybe we can get al harrington instead. that would be a good fit. that jared jeffries for Q deal sounds fine too. we just need a true 3! but maybe not a 'tru' 3... wa waaa

f u i'm on a roll

flipping channels between rick kamla's fantasy show on nba tv and food network. the sound off. laughing listening to the last TI record. too bad 'rubber band man' isn't on it that song is really good. the weather blows outside. all i want to do is watch a knicks loss but they didn't play tonight and it's 2:19am.

i'm thinking: should i go to sleep? watch 'the machinist'? try to work out an epic trade for AK-47? or make some food? the answer: have a beer!

nooo big deal. just some shredders

it's 1/4 into the season and i just want to give it up for some players. sheed is rad. fuck you if you hate him. have you seen his threes?! thanks for carrying my 'pilate divac' fantasy team. also chris paul. damn that guy is good. wake produces some good players. hello to the second round fantasy wise next year. paul pierce got stabbed a million times and walked himself to the hospital. how cam is that? and this year he doesn't have toine ruining his game. shredding! and finally b knight. f raymond felton! ok i don't hate feltron but b knight's been shafted his whole career. and all he does is ball. fuckit he should've been nightcrawler in the x-men movies! no disrespect to dwight howard, ricky davis, TD, channing rye, chauncey, AI, bron bron, brand [!], and all those other rad players. f artest and iguadala. you guys are my favorites and totally sucking right now.

ahahaha

ok 5 years ago would you think these dudes would be on the same team? i actually think nomar could shred CF for the janks, but i dont want to overpay for him. dude the muscle tore off the bone in his groin. OFF THE BONE! mia ham was bummed. so i think he'll def get hurt again but he has a sick arm. and wheels. so CF? why not. look how brokeback these guys are! so brokeback! why break that up.

uh, that movie was kind of great. sure explosions should've done the soundtarck but still. dec 16 explosions report? the show made me bummed, but that EP is fucking great! i felt all weird on the train tonight.

amare this bogut that

'hello my name is dwight and my hobbies include stepping into the garden and dropping 23/13. and i'm 15 years old' nooo big deal. averages? 15/13 and 1.5 blocks. sure he could block more but damn. compared to other #1 picks this guy is fucking great! and i know i'm emo but it's real nice to see grant hill back and shredding. i never hated that guy at all.

dec is 15 here! time to trade Q and jerome james. f those guys.

DEC 15 SPLOSIONS REPORT

SUCKED! ok sometimes i wonder if i have bad taste. i'm pretty sure i do. one time someone asked me 'who's better than bob dylan!?' and i said, 'SUPERCHUNK!' so i sweat the splosions pretty hard too. that last record still shreds my mind everyday. and i've seen them 5 times and everytime i loved it. yesterday? SUCKED! i know they're getting large off billy bob but they have to remember they're a fucking instrumental band, and should feel lucky people feel them. they played 1 hit, a bunch of old songs, and no encore. no encore! wtf they are not zep yet! it felt like a bullshit hip hop show, but instead of being late and sloppy, they were early and boring. i don't know if that makes sense

at least i got that mail-order EP. that's really good. sorry nocito for dragging you to the show. and to bad bars. at least you're in LA and i can't suggest going to shitty places. and i was so weird today after drinking with K dan and wildman til 5am last night, that i wandered around canal st like a zombie. somehow i ended up with 'the title stays in harlem' and 'back like cooked crack 2' those records are making me super happy right now. the comedy! i couldn't find that wayne tape K. can you dub it for me?

ok i don't think riley is a TOTAL douche cause he coached one of my all-time favorite knicks squads, but faxing your resignation? the lakers? fuck em! the heat? fuck em too! riley just wants the shine so bad, and even though he's been hooking up the van gundy family for years, the shit he just pulled was lame. SVG is a good coach. but i'm conflicted. the hate for the heat kinda fizzled. sure mourning is dick for a million reasons but dwayne wayne was awesome on 'a different world'.

you know what i'm not conflicted about? the new lil wayne! so emo!

haha lookit! thanks kenny for fwding this! i like how your friend thinks that shithole marquee is 'upscale'!

>>>

quick story you guys might enjoy. went to a party at laurens on saturday night. about 20 people. half of us went to some random bar, the other half went to this upscale place called Marquee. anyways, these 2 pretty girls who were visiting lauren from texas went to Marquee.

So yesterday morning, lauren calls me and says "Do you know some guy named Matt Line Hart?" i laugh and say yeah and don't bother to correct her. she says, well he was at Marquee last night, and hit on one of the girls from texas all night, danced with her, and then was so drunk he groped her....she turned around and slapped him, and left.

i said yea yea, i doubt it even though it kinda made sense that he would be in an upscale club getting trashed after losing the heisman. i told her i'd believe the story when i saw pictures. wellll, here they are..........

and let the circus shit begin...

donnie walsh said he'd deal artest, and he said he'll talk to isiah! ok this is totally my fantasy, kinda even over the KG rumors. are you kidding? remember he hit a game winning shot on thanksgiving a couple years ago, bum-rushed the camera and yelled 'QBQBQB!!' haha bring him here why not?

the question therein lies, would you trade channing frye, nare rob or ariza for him? i don't know, but i would say yes. i think frye is the player to get here, as indiana could sure use a big man to help jermaine out, no disrespect to jeff foster. that's tough, dealing frye, but we'd be getting an all-star back. and with artest you're talking about a NYC folk hero. him AND marbury running the garden? curry filling the paint? hell yes

as for chris russo on WFAN that's another story. i have beef with this guy. i'm not one to make racialist accusations, but this goes way back to when layden was GM. mike and the mad dog had him on right after the van horn trade when the knicks were at their WORST. and him and layden were yucking it up! patting his back and tickling his danglers. isiah takes over and the first day on the job chris russo is hating him! now he blames isiah for ruining this team salary cap wise. fuck you! this shit is on layden's and checkett's hands. now today on WFAN he's dissing r kelly for 'disrespecting the anthem' [bullshit that performance was killer] and artest for being a 'cancer'. you know who'd love artest in NY? everyone not named 'mad dog'! douche!

isiah! bring! artest! home!

is artest trying to pull an eli manning? orchestrating a trade to NY? needless to say the minute he sits down to the nyk news conference there will be bootleg artest jerseys on delancey. $25! right next to the jeezy 'tru warier' hybrids. i can't wait! marbury and the big crazy on the next cover of SLAM!

the griz

look at these sweet throwbacks the grizzlies were wearing on friday. they're kinda awesome! of course if i had my say there'd be a slight modification...

i also checked out grizzly bear last night and they were definitely not as awesome as damon stoudemire's new fabric. i thought at best they sounded like U2 'joshua tree' era, which is not bad at all, but the jams were too tender. and off-key. and long. i've seen them before and they were good. wha happened? maybe next time...

tyondai braxton and soft circle killed it a little for me. who's mad at weird house beats and crooning through an alvin and the chipmunks filter? surprisingly not me!

i felt like i had 2 left feet last night. spilling drinks on people and getting tongue tied. some people thought i was douche-y for sure. such is life!

miguel i didn't have you pinned as an asshole

"I've been with the Orioles for two years and things haven't gone in the direction that we were expecting, so I think the best thing will be a change of scenery... I've done many things with this team and I haven't seen results, and the other teams are getting stronger while the Orioles have not made any signings to strengthen the club"

uh... WHAT? this team goes out and gets sammy sosa, gives javy a huge contract, ramon martinez [for 27.5!], and leo mazzone. LEO MAZZONE! sure they're not the janks or the mets or the sox, but this team is trying to put a winning team on the field for sure. tejada stop being such a bitch. you're surrounded by all-stars. of couse they could use more pitching, but what team couldn't? look at the fucken rangers for chrissakes! chill with your millions and brian roberts hitting before you and melvin mora protecting you in the lineup.

i got the new scoobie snacks mix tape today and it's giving me a headache. there are some jams but the whole thing is making my head spin! 'keep a shotgun like elmer fudd you can tell the judge dog!' 'i MC like Mike Krzyzewski' 'take your daughter R kelly had my way with her face!' the jokes! more jokes! that song 'shangi' os kinda fucked up though. what did i expect? these guys hate everybody...

good show wildman you should be psyched!

... and they blew it!

the collapse was coming we all knew it. curry had a nice game, but frye had a snoozer. while we know they're directly related, i don't see what we can do about it. if they'd each average 13/7 i'd be happy with that, but no one knows what role they're gonna play any given night. larry's looking for a 'magical' combination for the first and second squad, but i think he should just stick with the same dudes. what, 'I GOT IT!!! JEROME JAMES PLAYS GREAT WITH PENNY! FINALS HERE WE COME!'

and i don't know why steph's not shooting 3's anymore. last year he averaged 1.4 a game, and this year it's 0.3. we all know larry is telling him to shoot less, but we need some downtown threats. to at least keep the defense honest, right? Q rich come back quick! jamal! no more off-balanced runners in transition preeze!

ok penny take it through the 2nd half!

watch the 3rd quarter collapse happen before our eyes

hypothetical question: you are charged with rape. you are convicted of rape. you cry at the trial. he resurrect your career on a troubled team. they trade away the 'problem' players on your team. you mouth off to your boss saying 'on a losing team i demand more clock',

you are ruben patternson. go knicks!

why did the knicks have to go and shit on matt barnes?

he starts opening day, hustles, gives us a spark, then rides the pine. then he's in a suit. then he's released to waivers so we can pick up... Q woods! ok i know people make mistakes and athletes' problems get blown way out of proportion, but how do you say to a judge 'yeah, i fight dogs, and i accidentally tortured the hell out of one and probably others that you got no evidence to throw at me'. i'm not a vegetarian or super weird about animal rights, but how you gonna torture a dog for fun?!

now Q's on the knicks. i'm sooo excited for his 1.5/2 averages. drop this fool and get matt barnes back.

kelly and K i know you guys love this guy and since we were talking about him last night i listened to him when i got home. still not into it. some of his jams are good, but really? am i weird? he seems like a 2005 version of tribe called quest to me. fwd to 2005 and this is the new de la. fugees? ok he's probably better than that but still. those jams were relatively emo as well right? i'm glad a dude like him is a star, but... obey your thirst!! look at this pic! angel wings!

and i atest to the fact that the 'best idea' ever belongs to the 'turducken'

nocito that was a good playlist, but i wanted more cam, dr dog and bright eyes...

respect!

31! 11! 2! 4 blocks! much respect to dirk. i give it up to the dudes who hold it down eveny night while josh smith gets highlight reel coverage at single digit averages. dirk! AI! jamison! duncan! arenas! Z! YAO! t mac! these guy are solid! and many more dudes i'm forgetting! and look at walter in this picture. a nyk draft pick!

i'm watching the jim valvano clip on sportcenter and it's super sad. remember him on the crosby show? as a mover? he was a good dude. jimmy V i'm bummed that you died. i really am.

and another weird note. a feel bad for Q and his bro. that's heavy.

good lookin JC you came through. chuzzill on the wins though i want a lottery pickey over the automatic 1st round exit

go to max fish on thursday and buy a picture

i'm not in the business of party promoting but josh's show will be major on thursday. think of it was a holiday party with a bunch of bearded guys and black and white photos. there will be drinking and hi-fives! back slaps! dubious encounters! slurred emo confessions! in that order! too bad i have to jet to check out dead meadow down the street, but i really like that band! but maybe i'll sell my tickets. bro's before shows?

he is a very very good guitar player and also very very weird looking

dino jr report? FUCKIN A!!! the highlight was either 'the wagon' or 'the post' which i was a little supriosed they played. it's K's favorite karoake jam. wtf no 'just like heaven' but they did shred 'little fury things' and 'freak scene' [of course]. i miss the epic 'where you been' jams that are all weepy and a loud as fuck. maybe j will get mike johnson back and do a 'era deux' reunion.

thanks brian for getting me in it was rad. too bad josh couldn't make it [i say that often].

just a matter of time before the sebadoh directtv concert series from jones beach. lou was kind of a dick last night. i guess some people are just assholes for life.

BRO'BACK MOUNTAIN

i kinda blame this loss on larry. i know the pistons are still sweet but starting rose, Q, davis, and mo just sends the message that we're scared. even though frye crawford and riza got big minutes you gotta start your best players to set the tone. and you punp them up too. what's up with nate rob only getting 11 minutes? c'mon larry play your best players. stop fucking around.

the dunkin dutchie all-star

i dunno why me and miller have been talking about rik smits all day, but damn he was good. maybe i just remember him trading blows with patrick ewing every post-season. dude held it down. now i hear he's a pro motorcross dude. huh?

i'm still in a haze from last night. i just remembered i got tacos on the way home last night. it was a blur. in real life i was at max fish with the major bro's, and when i went to sleep later that night i dreamt i was still at max fish, but this time with jay-z and julie mehretu. actually they could have been there and i wouldn't have known. josh told me all these weird things i was saying to jay hanna and lucy i don't remember.

easy there...

one good win and ny fans go crazy. the bulls win was nice but now WFAN callers are all like 'how far will we go into the playoffs' 'nate frye remind me of stockton malone'. eeeasy there. sure, they're nice players, but rookies are like flavors of the month. they're evaluated by their 'potential' and people go nuts. nate is a scorer and will never be an affective 1 cause of that. and he's too small to d up on the 2's in the league. frye has a nice shot and is rebounding better than i thought. not many blocks or steals though. put him in milwaukee and he's just another 'nice' player. put him in the garden and he's patrick ewing part deux. would i trade him for magloire? chandler? pryzbilla? no. for KG in a package? see ya channing get the fuck out!

not to say i'm hating, but easy with the championship banners! this team will finish under .500, but it'll be damn fun to watch!

fucking awesome

this guy finally gets out of hotlanta and busts out!

just look at his last 5 games: 10/5/4, 11/1/5, 17/6/10, 10/9/7, 17/8/6 with 8 steals and 5 blocks too!

OUI MONSIEUR TU EST RAD!

TRU WARIER WE PARTY

artest is fucking rad! but i'm a little disappointed in his numbers this year. every category is down except steals. what gives? i though he'd hulk out and go ape-shit on the league. he's still got time, but he's too passive. ARTEST GET ANGRY I GOT YOU FOR MVP WTF!

nice move by brown last night starting nate and frye. what? brown doesn't play rooks? uh... the bulls are the pale-est, flabbiest bunch of white boys in the nba. nocioni, songaila and piatkowski gotta lay off the taco bell and hit the gym! no trades please! isiah keep this team together! did you see that JC to ariza dunk? SICK
