The Mavs, apparent beneficiaries of the Cuban chronic whine about officials, were handed a win against the Knicks at MSG.
Crawford played dismally. Q had a strong, strong game.

Knicks Beat Jazz
Knicks 4 -2 (3-1 @home).
After an ugly first half, Knicks re-discover defense and close out the Jazz.
David Lee's slump ends in the first half. Duhon looking more like the second coming of Chollie Ward. Zach Randolph and N8 playing like All-Stars. Chandler continuing to deliver.
Crawford coming up big but continues to make head-scratchingly bad decisions along the way.

Knicks Beat Wizards
Knicks 3 - 2. Two wins in a row.
Another ugly game. But Duhon, Chandler, and Nate did some nice things. Crawford still needs to work on shot selection. Lee in a funk

Knicks Beat Bobcats
Knicks 2 - 2. Knicks win at home (2 -1 @ MSG). Zach Randolph, N8, and Chandler shine.
Duhon is becoming more and more comfortable in NY.
Nice to see Larry Brown again in NY. He had many interesting things to say about the Knicks, Dolan, and Walsh. All good. His experience here remains as one of the tragedies of NBA basketball history.

Knicks Lose to Bucks
Knicks 1 - 2.
The Knicks should never lose at home. But from all indications an ugly game.
Crawford once again worthless.
God I am sick of rooting for a losing team.

Why a Kidd for Marbury Swap?
Here's why.
Dallas has to win this year or they are done for a long, long time.
If it wasn't obvious from last year's meltdown that Kidd wasn't the answer then when will it dawn on Cuban that Kidd is not the answer.
So why a trade? Well, if Cuban waits too long there will be zero takers for Kidd's contract. By trading for Marbury who is on a mission to show the league that they're all wrong, Cuban might catch lightning in a bottle. And that's exactly what Dallas needs is a wake-up call and a man possessed.
Kidd isn't cutting it in Dallas. Add to the deal a Dampier for Curry swap and Cuban eliminates the other disappointing player from previous campaigns. Curry's output is no worse than Dampier and both have worn out their welcomes in their existing situations.
Now this will cost the Knicks money but Kidd, in a limited role in NY, might extend his career and teach or young guards a few tricks. No, he won't be winning a ring here but NY is not Dallas either.
The Knicks could go so far as throw in Mardy Collins giving Dallas a future PG for the rights to a Euro contracted player that opens a spot up for Ewing on the Knicks.
Such a deal is counter-intuitive but fascinating given the dynamics of everyone's needs.

Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
