Yi is doing better than I thought. It's a pretty big jump into the NBA for a real young guy like him and he is holding up well with solid minutes. He's had some good performances on the boards and it looks like he can also blocks some shots.

Winning both puts up just 3 games in the hole and on a 4-game win streak. :)

Besides, the Zekester ain't goin' nowhere while this case is still in appeals.

Yeah I agree with the latter. If you can him he has no incentive to stick up for Dolan in court. That could mean a 21.6M combined payout (Remember, there's two seperate hearings, the 11.6M awarded now in appeals - AND - another hearing for the 10M compensation she actually sued for). Yet, chances are the appeals reduces that number and I've read numerous times the compensation trials end up with a very small portion of the original sum sued for.

Yet, again, Zeke's going nowhere unless we go on a 2-22 stretch and that's unlikely. All things considered I think he gets to play the season out. You just have to hope that if they only win 37, 38 games and miss the playoffs that Isiah is gone. I mean, comeon, that'd be 4.75 years under this guy and we'd still be only as good as the Layden team he inherited? Only an idiot, err, I mean a Dolan, would perceive that as success.




As to Milwaukee I refuse to get sucked into any trap these days. Even if we beat Boston the LAST thing I am going to do is say "Well, Boston is better than Milwaukee and we beat Boston so we're going to CREAM MILWAUKE!!!!"

'cause that's just the game we'd lose. I fail to see how any of our past several years of inconsistencies have been miraculously wiped out with a struggling win at home over the garbage Bulls and a win at home over the tired Jazz. Even a win up in Boston won't change a thing. 5-9 is not 9-5. Although Isiah would lead us to believe it is!

This team has a lot longer road than a paltry 2 game win streak - leading to delusions of grandeur of a potential four game win streak - before they are a believable team.

Prove it first, then we'll re-evaluate.

If we beat Boston, IT is here for the full year unless we go through a 12-game losing streak or some other similar disaster. A boston win buys IT the rest of the year.

Most likely, we lose to Boston and beat Mil, which will put us at 5-10. Not good, but not something the team could not recover from.

The entire Knicks roster should not practice today

they should go to a burn clinic

a homeless shelter

a school for special needs children

and stay the day

not for a photo op but to understand how fortunate they are

and to understand the meaning of selfishness

I agree, but it probably should have been done well before last night.

Start Nate

bippity - at this point any change is a necessary move. Forget ego, politics, money and/or feelings about individuals. When David Lee can't get enough life to complete a dunk he can do in his sleep, either he is more injured than we know or he simply does not care. and when David Lee does not care there is a problem.


and why is Mardy Collins yawning?

Shift du Milwaukee:

Nate Robinson who hustled his azz off until the final whistle.

Balkman, who did the same.

Jeffries. Lee and Randolph Morris (just because)

Suit up The Mayor. make Zach sixth man. Malik Rose becomes player/head coach.

everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, (coaches included) else can take a nap.

Hey most of us knew we had a flock of passionless vets well before last night. The question is, why have we waited so long to put our feet down and try to stop the madness? Is it too late?

bippity - it's never too late.

but something better change in the body language tonight or it's gunna be ugly

hit the open man

How much time would you have given Lb before you finally said "maybe it is too late"

Or you can give Isiah 4 years to sabotage and get them to the point where a fully healthy squad can lose by 45 points to a division rival.

I really hope you're enjoying this misterearl. This is what you wanted.

This is what you deserve.

You still certain the team will make the playoffs, Earl?
