Knicks Quit Again and Kobe Scores 40

2006_02_skobe.jpgGothamist has a special request for Punxsutawney Phil. We’ll take our chances on the length of winter; just bring an early end to the basketball season at the Garden. Last night, it wasn’t so much Kobe, or his parade to the foul line, but another case of the Knicks quitting on their fans in a 130-97 loss.

Gothamist also has a request for Jim Dolan, step in and fix this! Yes, we know that you really can’t fire Isiah Thomas right now, but how about putting him on administrative leave? How about letting someone else take the reins and try to clean up this mess? Larry Brown might do it, you certainly are paying him enough, but he didn’t get himself thrown out of yesterday’s game because he likes what he sees on the court.

Mr. Dolan, we need a reason to believe again. Channing Frye seems like a keeper. Eddy Curry could be good, if he gets in shape, but there isn’t much else to be hopeful about. Knicks’ fans are not averse to rebuilding, we remember the Pat Cummings and Rory Sparrow era, but we don’t have any draft picks to get the next Patrick Ewing. Help us Mr. Dolan; we don’t have anywhere else to turn.

Haters? No comments? Not for nothing, but the Knicks are two games out of the eighth spot in the playoffs. Steph IS the best PG in basketball right now...as he goes, so do the Knicks.

Hey, you figured out cut-and-paste...the long-time Nets fan, right? Still a fan, but will be the first to admit they do suck. When I wrote that at the beginning of Jan, they looked like they were getting back on track. Now they're just standing around waiting for Marbury and his one shoulder to do something. Dude, when they turn it around in a couple of years, we'll welcome you back on the bandwagon you jumped off of when the Nets made the finals.

stephon marbury is definitely the MVP of the NBA. THe way he's carried this team on his back. EVery year we've been competitive and in the playoffs. We've won like 5 championships already under his belt. Unbelievable. THe guy averages 40 points a game and a whopping 25 assists. Doesn't that make his teammates better? The Sports press keep overlooking that fact.
