What he said

"Cot-damn!

How long has it been fellas?

How good does it feel?

I've been talking about it to everybody I see. 90% of them don't give a s**t or have no idea what I'm talking about.

I'm in heaven."

Marv, I'm witchoo!

huh?

It's been a looooong time. Too long.

How good does it feel?

"Walking on sushine">..............

Get real!!! IM watching the games. The last 3 yers I didn't even get league pass cuz it was ugly. I want to sit down and think we have a chance.

We do.

I don't do game picker anymore because I want them to win every game, not the ones I predict.

I am rooting for Gallo, for Wilson and others to emerge. Not rooting for Melo or pining for him. Donnies is on it.

I don't tune in to rethink the team or think I can outcoach . I marvel at the quick outlets and the ball movement. I marvel at the better defense. Not the statistical rankings but whats on the court. We give up points cuz we run. End of the day its if we score more points than the other team that earns the win.

Feels good to enjoy good games. Don't even have to win them all to enjoy them! Sometimes we get beaten.

Kudos to Donnie, MDA and Dolan. Yes Dolan. If we throw him under the bus for our problems we have to applaud him when his people does a good job. Even if he is under a magic spell by Isiah!

Isiah is not with the team.

Its all about results. Over .500 record. Amare is a better leader than we thought, and Isiah has no title with the knicks.

It feels so good that:

- Lebron gets no love in The Garden

- if the fight between Bill Walker and Shawne Williams was on Pay Per View The Answer Man would fork over $19.95 to watch it

- when Gallo takes a 30 foot three it is expected to drop

- even when Landry Fields goes 1-7 he is STILL making a valuable contribution

- Joe Frazier would want to sing

- the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics better watch their collective azzes when they visit The Garden because it WILL be loud

- if Toney Douglas ever learns to stop pounding the rock into a double team, watch out

- Wednesday can't get here quick enough

That's real talk, true story right there. We ain't beat.

"It's a celebration, bytches!"

JohnWallace44 - "There is no way on god's green earth that the small lineup is going to work against (Denver and Boston) as we go up in size and class."

Fork Denver. The Knicks lost to the Nuggets by 2 steenkin' points on Nov 16 (120-118) on the road.

Fork Boston. The Knicks made the Celtics work in their own arena for game 2 on October 29 (105-101 loss).

The post "Felton gets the pick and roll" Knicks WILL play with much more verve and swerve on Sunday, and on December 15, in The World's Most Famous Arena.

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

It was like this back in the day, the corners of the city, the outer boroughs and the suburbs all gathering at the Garden, in spirit if not in person, celebrating this sport within these walls whenever it's approached a level of excellence. The Knicks unify more than any other team in town when they're heading in the proper direction.

D'Antoni smiled. "I'd rather be beating the bad teams," he said, "than the other way around."

There are plenty of good games against bad teams available on the Knicks' schedule, enough to keep the Garden sounding like this, feeling like this, all across the winter and into the spring. You want to wait and see? That's your right. But you're missing a hell of a ride already.
