Everyone knows i’m a Kobe hater, but props to him and his supporting cast for taking the trophy this year. I cannot remember a team without a second dominant player winning a championship. I don’t know, maybe i’m selling Gasol short, but in my book Kobe made a huge statement this year.

I was rooting for the Magic but Stan Van Grumpy managed to fuck it all up by letting Jameer Nelson back into the lineup. Results were that no flow on offense and the team never got into a groove. The Van Gundy bros are still titleless. Next time Jeff should get out there and hump someones leg to get his team amped.

I was gonna throw a Kobe pic up there but fuck all that, heres a Lakers girls crotch shot instead. Much better….

Tonight’s game should have been a true test for our playoff run against a team ahead of us in the standings. But with the Wolves number 2 scorer Donald Foye twisting his shit up last night, they may be without him and not all full speed. Gonna be hard for them regardless, especially with the shooting, passing and turnover woes that Du has been going through lately.

I agree with him that its just a funk, he will get through it, he is a good player. A good start would be taking a few more layups instead of passing the ball out when he gets to the basket. He gets open under the basket a lot more than he thinks and looks to pass first ALL of the time. Gotta put some of them in the basket. 2 extra baskets for this team can mean games.

where the hell did all the mauve curtains go?

No that’s not a picture of a buttnut from Chelsea throwing a hissy fit because there are no more curtains available at the local bed bath and beyond. Its the Bobcats very own Larry Brown looking like a little whiny bitch and making Pharell very very  jealous  with his urban retro crazy sweater all at the same time. He hay have gotten one up on us by coming into the Garden and whooping us last night 114-105 and took a slight shot at Nate, but we’ll get the last laugh by digging up an old pic from you in the ABA that shows your true colors and hopefully by beating them out to grab that last playoff spot.

vs Bobcats March 7th: WIN. Larry still cant win in the Garden. A loss here spells trouble heading into the roadtrip.

LOSS 114-105

at Nets March 8th: WIN. Hopefully they continue to pick off teams ahead of them in the standings.

LOSS 106-101

at Bucks March 10th: WIN. See above

WIN  120-112

at Pistons March 11th: WIN. Five in a row.

at Wolves March 13th: WIN.

WIN 102-94

at Lebron March 15th: LOSS Knicks get no wins from the Cavs this year. Streak over at five.

vs Nets March 18th: Win. I will be hung over and in the house for this game the day after St. Patricks day . Hopefully the Knicks play well for the homecoming after the long road trip.

vs Kings March 20th: Win. The Maloof brothers treated the team to Ricks Cabaret the previous night and they are too hung over from Russian stripper sex to play well.

vs Magic March 21st: Win. A win after the back end of a back to back against one of the top 5 teams in the NBA ??…Remember they have to get to 40 wins here.

at Magic March 23rd: LOSS Payback from the last game. Boys are gassed.

at Clippers March 25th: Win. Nate gets his revenge with a high scoring game AND a win.

vs Raptors April 5th: Win. This home and home to TO is getting played out. Twice in a season? Come on Stern get your act together.

vs Bulls April 7th: Win.

at Pistons April 8th: Loss. Still some fight left in AI and the Pistons. Joe Dumars wont go out like a sucka and miss the playoffs.

vs Magic April 10th: Loss. Majic will be on a strong run going into the playoffs.

vs heat April 12th: Win. Wade doesnt drop 24 in the 4th quarter on our court. Last home game until the playoffs ends with a W.

at Nets April 15th: Win. Hello Playoffs.

Okay so that leaves us at 41 wins. Lets see how many we get right. Will edit it here after each game. Agree/Diasagree with my pics, drop em in the comments.

CLASSIC 40 OUNCES

With Dantoni announcing the boys will win 40 this year it got me thinking about beer, it is Friday after all. The last time i heard this much talk about 40’s i was 15. You can officially add the New York Knicks to the likes of Country Club, Ballentine, O Gold, Colt 45, Cobra, St. Ides and my personal favorite coming in a the super value recesion beater price of .99 cents, Laser! Shiiiit, back then 40 was a low total of wins and 2 for 18 was the unlucky number.
So tap a bottle and a twist a cap to the new goal, 40 wins baby. Feel free to share any 40 ounce stories you may have in the comments section.

The New York Knicks (24-32) welcome The Orlando Magic (41-15) and Dwight Howard to the Garden tonight for the first time this year.
I’m looking for a good performance from the squad tonight, as the Stephon Marbury saga is now in the rearview mirror.

I hope the team is up to the challenge tonight and can capitilize on the fact that The Magic been struggling a bit lately. They are coming in after the loss to the Chicago Bulls last night (120-102). Dwight Howard led the way as usual with 26 points.  He of course will be the force that we need to stop. Hopefully Nate can poster-ise Howard in a real game this time.

I have a feeling that this is going to be an exciting game.

via AP:
Stephon Marbury was waived Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2009, by the New York Knicks, ending a turbulent five-year stint in which the former All-Star couldn’t lead his hometown team to a single playoff victory. Marbury is one of the highest-paid players in the NBA, set to make close to $21 million this season, but has not played a game for new coach Mike D’Antoni.

Well this is good news for most New York Knicks Fans. I’m sure there is still quite a few of you out there that wanted this guys to play for the Knicks this year. I never supported him and I’m very excited about this.
He is finally out and not our problem.

With our luck if we do qualify for the playoffs this year, there is a very good chance we’ll see him with the Celtics. But i think we can worry about that when the time comes.

Knicks humiliated the Raptors 127-97

From reading the reports on the game last night ( i didn’t watch) The Knicks were pumped yesterday.
They were probably excited to be hearing about NOW with the chance to make the playoffs this year, not about the free agents of 2010.

You can see the highlights here.

They play the second part of this home/home against the Raptors Sunday.
Lets all hope for the same kind of result as they did last night?

SCUMBAG!

Good news to report. Chicago Police have made an arrest in the alleged killer of Eddie Curry’s baby’s mama and child. Assuming it’s the boyfriend that earlier in the day had an altercation with the family.
