wait, we’re not as good at back-to-backs as the three best teams in the league? shocking revelation.

the ‘Sly Williams’ post above that is funny, I remember Sly back in the day (a little, I think I was pretty young).

“I don?t understand how the Knicks can keep letting this happen when it?s become so predictable. If you know you?re susceptible to major lapses in focus after big games or at the end of back to backs shouldn?t the coach and the players learn how to deal with it after awhile? ”

Great question. Spurs are 9-4 on the tail end of back to backs this year. Pheonix started 0-3 on the 2nd of back to backs, and now are 8-4. Dallas is 10-0. Knicks are 3-10.

Losing one game, on the road, to a team with a week’s more rest, does not diminish what Isiah has accomplished. This year, the Knicks are on pace for their best season since, well 2004 when Don Chaney was coach. Knicks are on pace for between 35 & 36 wins (.436 win%). You have to hand it to Isiah, no matter what obstacles he faces, he will make sure his team is mediocre. If he has to trade his high draft picks or undermine his coach, there will be no hesitation. If he inherits a Pacer team that won 56 games (and won 61 the year after he left) he makes sure they are average (they won 43.6 games per each of his 3 years as coach). I admire someone who always attains his goals, however low they may be. Bring back Isiah, we might win 40 next year!

The Suns are trying to unload Marcus Banks. With their dearth of big men (and the fact Kurt Thomas is constantly injured), anyone think they’d do Jerome James for Banks?

Whoever posted about Knick performance in consecutive games was right on. The curse of the back-to-back struck again!

I think it is kinda funny that we have come so fatalistic about the Knicks (rightfully so, I might add) that a debacle like this one isn’t even that big of a deal to me, as you HAD to be half-expecting it, ESPECIALLY when Lee was out.

Why must they always toy with us??? How do they make it seem effortless to cut a 20-point deficit to 5, and then a momentous task to turn that 5 point deficit into a lead? I feel like they’re only playing hard when they’re getting embrassed. The only thing positive I can say about tonight’s game was that Balkman was looking like another comeback option for us (I was shocked that Isiah kept Nate out), and that Balks and Mardy seem to have a little chemistry going.

Remember that scene in the beginning of Major League when the Japanese grounds crew workers are talking to each other in swahili about how the Indians are going to suck again. I think I need to be put on suicide watch. This is just ridiculous. I think Im gonna see if I can change my League Pass subscription to the Knicks NBDL team. I hate the flu, could David Lee have been stricken at a worser time???? Anyways, on an even more ridiculous note, has anyone been watching the anna nicole trial and that judge who used to be a cab driver in the bronx, holy crap its too much. You guys gotta check out this link from the other day of this crazy guy if u dont believe me.

How do we keep getting beat by Philly? This schizophrenia has been killing me this season, starting with that first confidence-inspiring game against Memphis.

Speaking of which, that’s another team. What’s the deal with us and Memphis? GAH!
