And yes, I know it’s part of Walsh’s job to spin things strategically. That doesn’t mean I have to like it.

That Pelton article is interesting but myopic. In the context of the realities of this season and the next, everything he wrote is completely irrelevant. Douglas is replaceable. Duhon is a FA. Robinson is a FA. Hughes is a FA. There’s nothing of worth in the backcourt that needs to be developed. Meanwhile, when you take a step back, the Knicks aren’t winning enough games to make the playoffs this year regardless of what they do. I don’t really care whether or not Iverson gives the Knicks a better shot to win this season, and I sure as hell don’t believe there’s anyone who is important to the Knicks’ future whose progress he would impede. I think Iverson is fun to watch and I’d enjoy rooting for him because he makes plays that can be admired in and of themselves, regardless of how many shots he misses along the way. Those little moments that let us forget about the realities of the season are all I have as Knick fan this year. I wish he’d been signed.

I’m mostly pissed at the FO for pretending that they didn’t sign him for on-court reasons. They just didn’t want negative press in a year in which there wouldn’t be anything positive on the court to counteract it. That’s all. As a fan, I feel ripped off.

Now that’s the Eddy Curry we know and love! Someone needs to tell him that he doesn’t need to bull his way to the hoop EVERY SINGLE TEAM HE TOUCHES THE BALL. There is such as thing as kick it out and re-post.

Gotta give Duhon props for playing a solid game at the 1, but jeez, it’s about time.

Back to reality tomorrow.

Chandler had just as many FTAs as FGAs. Granted, I think at least one of his trips to the line came off a loose ball foul.

The two guys I’ve ragged on the most this year — Duhon and Chandler — are both coming up big here. Duhon’s undoubtedly been the most important Knick in the 4th quarter.

is Darko hurt or somethin? It jus amazes me that our best interior defender gets no PT. Add to that the fact that he’s a more versatile offensive weapon than Curry, it really makes me wonder what the hell goes thru D’Antoni’s mind. Don’t let me get started on not givin Hill any run so we could see what he’s got…although I’m not a fan of Hill’s…

Did I say Eddy? I think I meant to say Darko.

Third Quarter Thoughts:

*While Lopez isn’t exactly killing the Knicks, it would be nice to see Eddy get a few minutes on him. I get tired of watching Lee get rejected. (Add Gallo now.)

*I encourage the following slogan: Don’t-hon.
Douglas and Nate should get chances to run the offense.

*Let’s admit it: Hughes has been, gasp, somewhat dependable.
