The Knicks Make Trades for a Future No Where in Sight - Crawford, Randolph, and Collins for Harrington, Thomas, and Mobley posted on 12/12/2008
The Knicks Make Trades for a Future No Where in Sight On November 22nd, Donnie Walsh stripped Knicks fans of any hopes that the early 6-5 start had given them. Walsh traded Jamal Crawford, who was recently named team captain, to the Golden State Warriors for forward Al Harrington. Just a few hours later, Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins were packaged and shipped to the L.A. Clippers in exchange for Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas.
Topping my long list of reasons for opposing this trade is the fact that Jamal was just named the captain of this New York team. For quite some time, our problem has not been lack of talent, but lack of a cohesive unit with good leadership. We finally have a group of guys working together with great chemistry under the leadership of team captain, Jamal Crawford. Jamal was coming off his best season yet, and began the 2008-2009 season with very similar numbers - 19.6ppg and 4.4 apg. Trading away the man who took on the difficult role of leading this team says a lot about the lack of team morale.
Opening Night @ the Garden, Fans chant for Steph??? posted on 10/30/2008
"We want Steph! We want Steph!" Um, I'm sorry, I thought you wanted to WIN! And if you want to win, then Steph is NOT who you want!
Fellow Knicks "fans" left me dazed at the Garden on Wednesday as they chanted for Stephon Marbury to come to the floor. D'Antoni paid no mind and left Steph where he belongs, warming the bench.
The chants began when Chris Duhon commited his first turnover. Unintelligent fans are funny like that...one turnover and they start screaming for an even worse option than the one on the floor. My, oh my, how quickly they forgot how many costly turnovers Steph commited in the past seasons.
All in all, Duhon did a decent job. He had 9 points, dished 3 assists, grabbed 3 boards, and tallied one steal. I won't praise him on the defensive end, because his man did always seem to be a step ahead of him.

ALLAN HOUSTON FOLLOWS IN FAVRE'S FOOTSTEPS posted on 10/04/2008
H20 is back!! And although H14 doesn't flow as smoothly, I'm sure his jumpshot still will. Houston will wear #14 in honor of his dad, Wade Houston, since that bum Jared Jeffries currently wears 20 on his back. Houston was rumored to be coming back last season, but shortly after 1 preseason game, things changed. Since he stated that he felt physically ready, I'm convinced that his change of heart had to do with Isiah.
Allan has been working out with Knicks at their training camp since day 1 and apparently D'Antoni liked what he saw. I know that many fans are skeptical, but I don't think that D'Antoni and Walsh would've picked him up if they didn't think that he could contribute to the team that they are trying to build. At his worst, Allan would bring veteran leadership and knowledge-something that the Knicks are surely lacking. At best, he'll work with Jamal Crawford to provide the Knicks with a powerful 1-2 punch. Jamal's point guard abilities are underestimated and Allan's ability to perform at 37 are questioned, but I have faith. The Knicks lacked consistency throughout the year last season and Allan was certainly consistent throughout his career, so look for him to help stabalize the Knicks.

Balkman to the Nuggets posted on 07/29/2008
With 400 fowards on the roster, you knew this trade was coming...
2 years ago, Isiah Thomas made the mind-boggling decision of drafting Balkman at #20 while players with the likes of Rajon Rondo and Marcus Williams were still up for grabs (I know....take a minute to shake your head and wonder what life would be like with Rondo).
Since we've learned not to expect much from Isiah's picks and Balkman gave us more than we expected, the criticisms have been silenced and most fans have taken a liking to Balkman. Sure, he only averages 3.5 ppg and 3.3 boards per game, but he's only given about 14 inconsistent minutes per game to do so. More importantly, Renaldo provided NY with an energy and defense that it hasn't seen since Spree. So what do we do with a player that fits perfectly with Mike's style? We trade him of course! ughhh

Brett Favre...to retire, or not to retire? posted on 07/26/2008
Housewives all over the country are turning the channel from All My Children to the better soap opera that is airing on ESPN. It stars an indecisive, extremely talented quarterback who has disrupted the smooth flow of the off-season by "taking back" his retirement.
It's understandable that the organization and fellow players might be annoyed at his change of heart (which occurs almost every season). Favre may have gone too far this time, but I still believe that the Packers owe it to him to give him his position back. I am not even a Green Bay fan, but I can appreciate what the man has done for Wisconsin. We are talking about one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. He holds NFL records for most career passing yards, career completions, career touchdown passes, and career wins
