EnySpree - great clip
Al Harrington is one of those rare marriages in sports when an athlete and franchise were made for each other. Like magic, the desperation (over who would pick up the scoring slack left by Randolph and Crawford), has disappeared. In the no-discipline environment of the Atlanta Hawks, Al was just one of seven forwards fighting for attention. In New York, the minutes and shots are wide open. His Christmas gift came early this year. Float like a butterfly, sting like Manny Paquiao once a knick always a knick

It's sad that I keep waiting for the stretch where Al plays like garbage. 7 years has conditioned me to think this way. So far though, this guy has been unbelievable. He's playing like a star. He has also reached that magical age of 28 where athletes supposedly hit their prime. Who knows.
I just hope that people will like me

Sad
bippity - if Harrington has a bad game is that a reason for you to feel better so: A. your comfort level with his game can be reinforced? or B. that you can be proven "right" about your assessment of him? once a knick always a knick

Al loves the Knicks and love will do that to you. We still need a shooter for his off nights though.
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL
So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

Posted by misterearl: Earl: You and I are on the same page about Al so you can relax. I agree with everything you've said on the subject. My point is not that Al is going to be a bad player. I don't need to be proven right or wrong about him because I have never made an assessment on Al on this board besides how he's played in his last 10 or so games and it's all been good. My point is that years of Knicks torture has taught me to expect something horrible to happen no matter how good things look. I think this is a mindset that many Knicks fans have, I'm just one of the few to admit it. This of course is the first step towards recovery. I love Al, so you can relax you big baby. On a side note: Haven't you and I agreed enough over the last few weeks to know that you and I are on the same page on this team regarding everyone accept for Tim Thomas? Or do you still not read who is writing what? I just hope that people will like me

bippity - your years of Knicks torture should have made you stronger. You want torture? Try being a Mets fan.
Of course things can go wrong. With the economy failing, advertisers slashing marketing budgets and the next NBA collective bargaining agreement right around the corner, I would not be shocked to see a major professional league implode (see Arena footoball) before Lebron or Duane can pack their designer luggage for NYC. I respect your writing. I'm just keeping you honest. [Edited by - misterearl on 12-15-2008 1:53 PM] once a knick always a knick

Posted by misterearl: Dude, I'm a Seahawks and Mariner fan on the side. I dont' want to hear any whining from Met's fans. I've had a combined 84 seasons of professional sports fanship. In those 84 seasons I have experienced 2 NBa finals and one superbowl appearance. The rest has been one disappointment after another, after another, after another.

Dy-No-Mite!
You'll never, ever, hear me whine about the Mets, (welcome Francisco and JJ)but the Seahawks and Mariners? what are you, a masochist? Look at the updated (eVil is da man) masthead and tell me if these guys, collectively, don't put a proud smile on your face. This group has fought thorugh radical change, rumors, distractions and injuries to earn nearly a .500 record. I ain't mad at 'em. once a knick always a knick

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.
