Merry Christmas everyone, wish all $$$$$ or happiness this New Year. LOL
I been a long time reader on this Knick Blog
The Christmas Day Games practically all the teams gave playingtime to 10 or more of their players, except for the Knicks.
The Knicks gave playingtime to 7 and a half of their players.
There’s a problem in Houston…..oops I meant in New York.
Both rookies would’ve like to get playingtime for their family and friends on Christmas Day.
I’m sure all six of the Knicks healthy ending contract players would’ve luv receiving some decent playingtime minutes on Christmas Day.
I LUV a winning Knicks team, but the decade of “divided lockerroom players” or the “pet-player favoritism” or the “player vs coach episode” is getting old, and the reruns are boring.
I dont know what your Magic-Ball predicts, but after the Christmas Day Game my Magic-Ball only predicts 2-Wins out of the next 10 Knick games…..and that’s not good.

David,

I’m concerned with your lack of care for metrical verse. For Christmas, I’m sending you an e-book of essays on the importance of the anapestic tetrameter and the like. The trochaic sections just aren’t working for me.

(Just kidding! Awesome work, really made my Christmas)

Here’s to a gift-filled offseason! Christmas comes in July this year!

BTW one factor that has made the rotation look even tighter is that we seem to rarely have any games with garbage time. When was the last laugher/blowout, the Suns? I wonder if Nate will play if one happens soon…

Great article on Jonathan Bender in the Times:

You can’t help but root for this guy, even aside from what he can mean to the team. Based on what I’ve seen so far, his game looks similar to Gallo’s, maybe more post-up potential, less of a stroke from 3, but both very long players with more of a small-forward skillset w/o the speed…not bad having two of those!

In fact, it’s pretty amazing how we have become a pretty long, athletic team in general, especially w/o Curry, Hill or Darko in the mix. We seem to be in a good position to trade big for small right now. Wonder if a team like Minnesota or Portland will bite…

Nice to have you back, slovene. Life’s been good in Knickdom lately. Hopefully we won’t come crashing down to earth on national TV today!

I think its time to turn the page on curry and nate. Think about getting a draft pick for them.
