New of the day is quite interesting. Dolan has proclaimed "no StarPhuching!" This may be the happiest day in KNick history for the last 5 years!

IT took Isiah of all people to convince him! Ok, we'll take it. Funny thing is, drafting and cultivating low priced assests is what Layden was real good at. Funny, Isiah needs to spend less to get more, and Layden was forced to spend too much on less. Go figure.

I will say the team is playing harder. That means somthing!

I agree. The team seems to be playing harder. One thing I am noticing is that Marbury seems like he is shying away from the ball in the 4th. He was getting into the lane at will from the 1st to the 3rd quarter then all of a sudden. Poof!. He was letting others handle the rock.

Also, I like Penny, but, he caused the game the last 2 times. He wasn't as bad in the Suns game compared to his brain fart in Sac but he couldn't buy a shot. He was also wide open.

Yup. Penny I can handle, but TT playing good is really frustrating. He will give us the glimpse. Sucker Herb into inserting him to the starting lineup then he will revert back to his usual self.

Yuck! Yuck!

Layden didn't draft Ariza. The 3 main players Layden drafted were Sweetney, Frank Williams and Lampe. Lampe may turn out to be noone. Sweetney is looking good, but might end up being a bench player. Frank Williams has some talent, but if he doesn't increase his enthusiasm and work ethic, he'll be a nothing as well. When we drafted Williams, we really NEEDED to draft Boozer.

Laydog did ok as one of the ASSISTANT architechs of that Great Utah team. I think he might have been better as an assistant during a rebuild. We'll never know. ANd not, I have not forgetten his blunders, and those whom he did not do, but gets the blame anyway! Water under the brige.

I think Dolan willing to spend money to buy out shandon (dumb move by the way) and all the other spending is not so terrible. The only thing that counts is what he is willing to do going forward, and he seems to be willing to do what it takes to bring in PhilJax, and he did hire Isiah. If you love Isiah, yo gotta love Dolan! He did fire Laydog too! and he is willing to go thru a rebuild! That will cost him. OF course, he may ge fired any day, so why should he care!

We cannot change what was done, only hope for better thinking!

IM glad TT is playing well again. This way we can at least understand what Isiah was thinking from time to time.

Utah by 30.

Knicks win 91-67.
We gotta be on the winning end of a blowout at somepoint this year don't we?

Ariza 21 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and a block. Really filling out that stat sheet.
Marbury with 20 points, 9 assists
Kurt 14 points, 14 rebounds

You have to hope for a loss here, its key Utah has a better record then us, remember we are competing for a lottery pick with them.

This one will be hard as Utah stinks, but I have confidence in our boys to find a way to loose, as only they can.

I dont think we're gonna win tonight, remember they gave us a hard time at MSG without AK47 so Im gonna say a 98-92 loss...Lets get some more Ping Pong balls(sung to the theme of ding dong the witch is dead)PING PONG THE KNICKS ARE DEAD THE KNICKS ARE DEAD THE KNICKS ARE DEAD PING PONG THE NEW YORK KNICKS ARE DEAD

I'm going to say we lose a close game too. Prove me wrong, knicks!

check out Sweetney's production, I still wonder why he is not the starter at PF...
