This girl from American Idol, Britney Kerr:

Very nice voice.

But.......

She comes up our isle and dances in front of us. Pictures don't do this girl justice. She moves in mysterious ways.

Got there a bit early to eat some overpriced food.
Watched Baron Davis work out solo with a coach. I have seen Davis play as a Hornet in Charlotte years ago and he looks fit and slim these days. Seemed to move and shoot well. Beard is full and full of smiles.

I expected a good game as they have practiced some and with Baron coming playing time is up for grabs.

Some observations:

Paul Silas died last year and this weekend at Bernies thing not working. How is Matt Carrol still getting burn? He seemes to put himself in.

They Miss DJ Augustine. Don't let Kembas stats fool you, he can score but does not engage his team. They miss Maggette. Derrick Brown is not nearly the same Caliber.

Mullins is a good sub player. Knicks front line is tough and he was over matched.

Diaw looked like the crap he is. Ty Thomas is clueless still. Diop looks like a 12 year old fat kid who plays cuz its his basketball. Bismack Biyombo has no offensive skill and not sure what Jordan is doing picking this kid. He is a project.

Knicks made this team look bad.

We loved the weave MDA had the team doing on the perimeter. The ball movement was great. We appreciated the rebounding Melo did in the first half. We loved the team was up by 20 when he left and he only had 1 pt.

Not hating, just thought his game was unselfish and he got to see and feel what can happen. They could not contain our front line.

TD played 15 min and looked very much in control. Shot selection was good for the most part but he played a patient game.

Lin got garbage time and was ok, but it was not a real test. JJ3 and Novak played well in garbage time.

Shump looked like a real rookie tonite. M Forget the shots, but look at the movement. The kid is good at creating his own shot but when asked to weave his game into the fabric of the MDA complicated offense he was not in the rhythm at all. MDA was right to pull him and treat him like a rookie.
Im not hating on the kid, but you don't want to over empower a kid and let him run as Wiz did with John Wall. Shump will be great and has to go thru rookie time at some point. He had a few nice moments and he is not far from being an even better player then he has been.

We were thrilled with Fields performance.

We were happy to see the team destroy the Bobcats with Shump looking like a rookie and Melo playing only 29 minutes and not score but one point. Amare put on a nice show of dunks and shows he still has some nice moves.

Im not saying we are out of the woods but the play was encouraging and we saw a glimpse of MDA brand of ball.

It was all so curious to see him not have a good game, Melo missed all his shots, and we blow out an NBA team even if they are missing 2 starters.

Lin is an NBA player but not tested yet. I though it was more important for Shump and Bibby get some time in. MDA is not hating on him by wanting to win games and not experiment on the fly. With Baron coming in it will change everyone's back court role.

TD played quality minutes. That was very important with tough games coming up this week.

MDA try to bring in Lin AND Baron at the same time? That is silly.

IT was great to see Tyson get Amare the ball.

BTW, Knicks have as many "Suits" as players on the bench!

The whole time I thought we needed a bunch of things, to start with a PG, in reality, we just needed you to attend Nalod ^^

Thank You for the observations, hope this success continues.
Did you go early to attend watch them warm up?
Scream out anything to of the players and got anyone's attention?

Mrs. Nalod was not in attendance. I went with a fellow knick fan and involved in a guy/sports "Bro-mance" with!

Mrs. Nalod would have given me a black eye the way we were gawking at the mesmerizing grinding Miss Kerr doing her thing just a few feet from us during a time out.

OK. I will be the bad guy. Who has the better bubble/athletic butt? Miss Kerr or Mrs. Nalod?

Cant leave my bro to take the heat by himself. I feel that pictorial evidence is required. We can make our own mess decision.

Lets just say that Nalod is has a blessed existance with a wife of 25 years who after giving birth twice has the same body weight as when we met when she was 18 yrs old. This will be our 30th year together.

The lovely Miss Kerr should age naturally as well as Mrs. Nalod has.

Pictorial evidence is not pending. We'll respect Mrs. Nalods privacy as a civilian.

Her butt is fantastic BTW!

I can respect that. No need to get civvies involved when there are so many pros out there in the War of Intercourse.
