Last night I had a dream that I was watching the Knicks on tv (and being affected by the Time Warner blackout, that itself made it a good dream). The starting lineup included Butler at center, Sweetney at power forward, and Trevor Ariza at SF. I don’t think the game resolved in my sleep, but [...]
Only three days left in the NBA’s regular season! * The best race left is in the East, with the 76ers, Nets, and Cleveland fighting for the final two spots.

The Knicks have come out flatter than Pope Urban [...]
