good to read your words doc…hope all is well for you – other than being stuck rooting for a perennial loser…ugh, painful words to write…

we’ll get it figured out, sometime this century…

Thanks, Geo. I didn’t think anyone would remember me after my long hiatus here. I am no longer a national class age group distance runner after my major open heart surgery to correct a genetic defect. I am a middle of the pack jogger. My consolation prize is that I am back to work full time and that my story will be a chapter in a book on returning from open heart surgery. I suppose another consolation is that middle of the pack is better than what our beloved Knicks have been for a long time.

Servers like defense too.

Happy belated Thanksgiving all….

Apparently the Knickerblogger servers were so distraught with how bad we lost last night that they just said “fuck it” and took today off along with most of the country.

@ 98

Does Payton have a hamstring strain or did he have a hamstring replaced?

From my days doing a lot of sports medicine, hamstring injuries often become chronic when the medical staff myopically focuses on the hamstrings. Hamstrings are not primary movers for any action of the human body. They assist other muscles that are now not able to do their job. Since I have no clinical data on Elfrid, I will use statistics. The most common cause of chronic hammies statically is a tight/weak iliopsoas. So once you rehab the iliopsoas, the hamstrings “magically” heal.

Jerry Stackhouse signed a 6 year deal to coach at Vanderbilt. That man is off the table for at least another 4 years.

Need to add Jerry Stackhouse to the coaching list. He was the HC for Toronto’s GLeague affiliate which graduated a ton of NBA caliber players.

He’s currently coaching Vanderbilt which and has them with a 5-1 record a year after going 9-23.

And for the love of God please don’t give Allan Houston any job of importance.

You know what? F it! Hire me as HC. I have no strategy, no offensive system, no defensive system- but I will convince Perrybto move Portis and Mook and trot out these 5 man units:
C- Mitch
PF- Knox
SF- Barrett
SG- Trier
PG- Ntilikina

2nd team
C- Taj
PF- Randle
SF- Dot
SG- DSJ
PG- Payton

I will go 10 deep each game, have Hinton and Wooten called up and use those 2 and Iggy as end of bench players for the last 5 or 10 minutes of games that aren’t close. That’s gotta look better than what we’ve been seeing. Granted, the Raptors are a much better team. But if we’re gonna lose, lose with the kids
