I can handle the loss but I find the effort, lack of enthusiasm, and the Knicks being intimidated by the Celtics to be wholly UNACCEPTABLE and unKnickerbockertonian.
So today's lessons learned are;
Somebody had better sit down with Jerome James and put together a retirement plan. If his knee is shot for this season then why fight it. This is a player who was marginal when healthy and owns a contract that is little more than a promissory note. Nobody in this organization will wait for his return because it is a meaningless gesture.
Today, should start the rest of Jerome James life doing something else. And we wish you to get well and the best of luck.
Curry's backup must be Randolph Morris who should learn from Jerome James' career trajectory.
You have an opportunity to play - don't F'up. Now is the time to step up your game, show some cahones, and prove you belong here. Otherwise come February you will have a virtual trade bait tattoo on your forehead. Again, just see Jerome James' reputation on the blogs.
Welcome aboard.
Allan Houston is trying out for the Knicks after a long absence. All fans believe he is trying to reframe himself as a Steve Kerr game-changing sharp-shooter and man we could use one of those.
So what the hell was the 6 minutes in the Celtics game about? OH-for-DEUX! Pinch me if I'm speaking out of turn but if Allan wants to be Steve Kerr then; a.) he better be getting fed the ball to shoot, b.) he damned well better be lighting it up., and c.) he better not be playing six minutes to figure out he can't hit the rim.
Maybe Allan is not the best person to talk to Jerome James about retirement.
Curry is rushing back to play with a bad wing.
Look, I'm not a doctor but take the time to heal and get in shape. C'mon, I don't have to tell you this.
Zach Randolph has not practiced with the team due to a family issue.
It showed and it's no big deal. He and Curry will not clicking for a few months. Boston should enjoy their luck while it lasts because down the stretch more than a few of us will be looking for some payback.
Chandler's bringing it.
Until Balkman comes back, Chandler has earned a starting opportunity or two. If Balkman or Q can dislodge him then fine but as of yesterday, Chandler needs to be given some serious respect.
And quite frankly, LA is crazy to be pissing an moaning about trading for Deung, Chandler is the league's best kept secret. The Kobe trade everyone puts down and dismisses(to the Knicks) may go down as LA's (and Kobe's) biggest blunder.
We have a problem at the 2 spot.
We cannot afford another year of the mercurial performances of Crawford at the 2 spot.
Either Q or Marbury needs to slide over, maybe even Nate. The minute Crawford goes cold or misses a defensive assignment he should be given a potato gun and told to guard the gatorade. enough is enough. Against a team like the Celtics you have got to be lighting it up.
We need some pros.
The Knicks should consider a move for a no-bullshit, lock down defender. Maybe this is Balkman.
But enough talk about Nichols and Jones. These guys are trivial pursuit answers not solutions to what needs doing with the Knicks.
