ess-dog: This seems like a it would be a good pick up for us:http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/gainesu01.htmlJust waived by the TWolves. Played very well for Utah last year. Thoughts on Gaines?  (Quote)

Other than his game winner at Utah the dude barely got minutes including his stint at Minnesota. There’s gotta be some reason for that. Would love if we could get a better back-up PG especilly since TD really is not that and Mason is giving us nothing and Rautkins barely played at all.

jon abbey: it’s a slightly misleading headline, but Hollinger’s mathematical model has us 17 out of 30 teams last I checked. “mediocre”=41 wins, Hollinger has us ending up at 44 or 45 which seems reasonable to me. also, writers virtually never write headlines themselves, editors and copy people or whoever do that, I thought that was pretty common knowledge.  (Quote)

My bad, guess it would be too much to ask for ESPN’s headline to be like at this site.

jon abbey: “The Knicks are in the same discussion as David Kahn? Really now.. nice troll job from ESPN “sports” writers i must say. ”actually, you’re the one off base here, criticizing an article based on a short synopsis. it’s a longish piece, the Kahn slam is for saying Darko should be an All-Star (heh), and the rest of the piece just talks about strength of schedule and margin of victory and how he sees that impacting things going forward. we all know NY’s upcoming schedule is brutal and that we’ll be happy if they’re still much over .500 ten games from now, so no real news here.  (Quote)

Sorry i know this was off the topic but what got my goat was the “John Hollinger predicts Knick mediocrity” article title and when you read the article’s content it simply states that the Knick schedule will be brutal. I mean that’s pretty obvious but the Knick won’t really be mediocre coz at the end of the season this would still be a play-off team and you don’t give mediocre labels at a small time frame of the season and make it the over-all grade for the rest of the season or games to come. We know we’re not elite yet but im quite sure this Knick team ain’t mediocre. Just saying…

“In New York, people have been unbelievably excited about the Knicks’ triumphant return to halfway-decency.

But John Hollinger (Insider), in a discussion of the whole league (which includes noteworthy mocking of Wolves GM David Kahn), says to expect things to cool off a bit over the remainder of the season for the Knicks.”

The Knicks are in the same discussion as David Kahn? Really now.. nice troll job from ESPN “sports” writers i must say.

and goddamn, I cannot wait until the bloated corpse of Eddy Curry no longer takes up a roster spot. I really really wish Dolan would sue him for failure to live up to his end of the contract (this will of course never happen), thoroughly disgusting.
