damned if you do...

want the 'hustle' unit in there? really?

the starters looked bad. then nate and lee came in and there was a big comeback. it was kinda sweet. marbury took some big shots and made them. malik looked like a veteran who's played duncan at practice for years. it was his D that gave the knicks a shot! then parker hits a big three. i watched the replay right after the shot... but where's nate? not even in the camera shot! then curry blows a jumper and parker brings it up. knicks already down by 9 with 1:00 to go. nate backs up on parker man to man, looks away, and parker goes right by him! nate has to commit the foul. parker to the line. game over for good.

i want nate rob off this team. not cause i think he can't play, which he obviously can, but he gives knicks fans headspins. they remember nate doing his king-kong thing after a rebound [THE SMALLEST GUY ON THE COURT... then what's he doing hanging out with the bigs? he's got to be manning the perimeter], but soon forget his blown defensive coverages and bad fouls. i have to listen to that drunk guy at the bar going 'JUST PUT NATE IN MARBURY SUUUCKS' all season long. to that dude, you're a fucking idiot. love nate's enthusiasm, hate his game, and hate fans who just watch offensive basketball.

also, francis getting hurt is such a blessing in disguise. not for my fantasy teams [all of them], but for the chemistry. but that's so obvious...

the blow is the week's free itunes DL. people HATE it. i don't. but maybe i do. the "bonus LP' i bought from them is amazing! i think!

just in case the CMJ post was confusing, ladyhawk revisted

ok ken here's a knicks post

what's the deal. the team is lacking chemistry and all this athleticism isn't clicking right now. i'm willing to be patient but it doesn't look good. sure, you hoot and holler when nate chucks threes and hits the floor, but have you seen him on defense? it's a fucking joke! he goes for the steal every time, then leaves his man standing alone for a pass to the hoop or an open jumper.

it's not marbury's fault either. take his pic off your dartboard. steve nash would be just as confused in this scheme. what scheme? there is none!

i just want isiah to stick to this rotation. STICK TO IT. these guys are all ballers. let them develop chemistry. no trades either... i mean, who would take francis? marbury? who's dumb enough to take them off our greedy hands? sure, teams are interested in frye and lee, but i'm not willing to give them up yet. i'm not throwing in the towel, but it's pretty obvious that this team is not ready to compete. what a joke...

and with the first selection of the 2007 nba draft, the bulls select oden! boo hoo eddy curry you douche

still super amped about jay's new record, but the new songs are kinda weak. wayne is the josh smith [not the painter, the player] of rap. sick!

meditations on the CMJ week ahead...

i just got a bunch of records. wait for the CMJ insanity posts this weekend/next week. or maybe see you there?

it's time! a position-by-postition breakdown for the knicks! [i named this jpeg 'stephstevieballs']

PG: marbury- pros: dude has new shoes, a cousin who just had one of his boys shoot one of fabo's boys [chart coming for that]. cons: the shoes cost $15 and will ruin his feet and telfair might have a comparable season to marbury. verdict? marbury won't become an all-star again, but he's gonna play much much better. i am and will always be a starbury fan! leave the dude alone!

SG: francis- my fantasy sleeper! i got him and felton on all 4 of my teams! i think francis will blow up and end up averaging 15/5/4. i mean, that's fucking great compared to last season. dude is still the player he was 2 years ago on orlando! and larry brown is later'd! boom!

SF: jeffries- ok when he comes back he'll play marginal D and not shoot. fine. Q will come off the bench and get his weird rebounds and chuck a shot or teo. or 10. shoot Q!

PF: frye- what you see is what you get. rick smits this guy is not [and never will be] i think last year's averages are the best you can hope for him, and that's great actually. just steady the ship with this guy and maybe crash the boards a little more. me likes.

C: curry- not mad at this guy. c'mon he was never REALLY gonna be baby shaq. who believed that shit? i like his soft 15/6 juts fine. ok eddy. just shoot. you're just SLIGHTLY worse than nenad krstic and the whole league has a boner for him. but curry's stats are almost identical to nenad's. sure nenad will get better, but all's not lost for eddy. put down that burger and hit the bike eddy! the season hinges on you!

so in the end, the knicks miiight win 10 more games than last year. we'll sniff the 8th seed of the playoffs and get to watch one of the weirdest teams ever assembled. and i'd take all that in a second! 1st round exit? fine by me! i claim the new york knicks will win 36 games this year. done.
