something a friend of mine posted on his blog... i hope George Karl has a good life insurance policy on his kids:

GEORGE KARL is a stone-faced liar! When the F did the Knicks cut a 25 pt lead to 10 at the 4 minute mark?! BULLSHIT. The closest the knicks get after the 7 minute mark is 16. SIXTEEN!!! And at the 4.15 mark, they're up 18!!! He's right that during the 4 minute mark, one team isn't scoring... IT'S THE KNICKS. And even then, he still keeps his starters on the floor. So don't believe THAT jerk who lies to our faces just to make himself look better.

This doesn't need to be viewed as a karl vs Isiah thing. Denver can worry about how their guys handled the situation and we can worry about our guys.

For me, regardless of what karl and Denver did, I'm not proud that our guys let the other team waltz through paint for 46.5 minutes, and then put in a poor kid to put on a hit with 90 meaningless seconds left.

Nothing Karl, Denver, Carmelo, Riley, LB or anyone else can change that for me.

I'm also not happy that Nate got "special." I don't care how anyone wants to parse the tape, it's my belief that if he wasn't on the floor Mardy and JR would have had a stare-down and then separated, Mardy would have been ejected, substitutions would have been made, JR would have gone to the line, and the game would have ended without incident.

I could be wrong, but that's my belief.

None of those feelings and beliefs exonerates Denver, but I am a Knicks fan, and I'm far more concerned with what comes from our camp than from theirs.

TMS - nice work
