On the other end of the Super Bowl hype spectrum its knicks v. clippers tonight!

thats right sports fan, the hangover of the super bowl buzz begins tonight as the hometown knickerbockers take on the west coast knicks a/k/a the LA Clippers. the garden will probabaly have about 10,000 ( capacity 19763 ) on hand tonight to witness what may be one of the most meaningless games of a long, long NBA season. The clippers feature no Elton Brand ( achilles, ouch, been there ruptured that, it is bad, really bad ) and the knicks continue to spit the bit at crunchtime, as they competed in all 5 road games of the west coast swing but were ultimately defeated late in every game.  curent clipper tim thomas, one of the most overhyped players in scholastic history who has made gazillions in the Association, yet still has disappointed every franchise in his career, except maybe phoenix. Thomas produced with steve nash getting him the pill but now with sammy cassel and cuttino mobley dishing a grand total of 7 assists a night between them, those salad days are over, and once again thomas labors in anonymity at a super hyper inflated paycheck! God Bless America!
