Celtic Third Stringers Beat Knicks

Loss #37. I am suffering from a nasty, nasty flu.

Yesterday's loss against the Celtics walking wounded squad was sad and pathetic. To watch Eddy Curry repeatedly get boxed out by players who are only on the floor because there's nobody left is enough to make a grown man cry. Curry has the expression of someone who walked in he building, was handed a uniform, and told to stay on the same side of the court as everyone else.

Cynics claim that the Curry acquisition is compelling evidence that Isiah is an incompetent fool. Few will acknowledge the years of frustration that preceded the Curry acquisition. Curry was a risk - a major league gamble - that was absolutely worth taking. No one knew that the risk included mindless indifference.

Zach Randolph disappointed as well. In a transition play he can be seen lightly jogging behind the Celtic breaking for the basket.

The other guy Isiah has just GOT TO get rid of is Crawford. Crawford races up courtand just chucks em. No rebounders in sight, no reason not set up a play, nothing. If Crawford shot at the other team's basket we'd have a better chance of getting the ball back.

I like Fred Jones. He's a find. If he gets included in a deal I hope the Knicks send buyout money along so he can find his way back home.

The Celtics commentators in a Comcast pre-game show made the Knicks sound like a trash talking team from the trailer park. Things have never been better in Boston.

Isiah may finally be understanding that quicker and slightly smaller teams can compete. When he landed Curry, Isiah thought he might have landed the next Shaq.
