AI fits with the Knicks. He will have his opportunity to play a lot and get a lot of stats, plus they won't have to worry about him bringing down the team since they already lose a lot anyway.

I agree totally. The Knicks need to pick up the pace in the win column if they stand a chance of woo'ing talent for next year. I know this is another throw away year for the Knicks in preparing for the big free agent binge next year...But if you have 0 talent, the likes of Bosh won't leave a mid-road team like the Raptors just to move to a low-level team.

The idea of throwing all their eggs in the "next year is our year" basket is risky at best.

Best bet is to add a few veterans *like AI & Harrington* to the starting rotation, get a few wins & leave the 1 year contracts open to negotiation next season.

Yes, good move. We'll have some name value and plus he's been my fav player in the league forever.

Like Stima said, Knicks will suck with and without him, but at least it's still fun watching him play

DAMN John Wall.

Illlllmatic

I watched the Nuggets vs Lakers game Friday

weirdly entertaining

....

did you mean wildly?

no I meant weirdly

because basketball is usually boring to me

You know what The Sixers should get Iverson. They aren't going anywhere with or without him. It would get people more interested, and there really isn't a downside.

It won't happen though.

I don't know who I feel more sorry for, AI or McGrady

5 straight wins for the Pacers

Is Granger still day to day? I haven't checked my fantasy team in a week!

Kobe becomes the third player all time with 100 plus 40 point games babyyyy

So glad Pau is coming back on Thursday. Maybe the bench will gain a little stability with Lamar back on the 2nd unit.

Is it absolutely confirmed that he's back on Thursday?

He said if after practice tomorrow, he still feels ready to go, then yes. (they interviewed him right before the 4th quarter)

Nope, Granger is back in business.

So psyched for Pacers fifth win in a row last night. I'm going to the Knicks game tonight to watch them go for six in a row. Gonna be immense. Roy Hibbert is going to dunk on somebody's face and make their kids cry.

awesome. I got hyped up on Pacers/Granger after his stellar season last year. He gives that franchise hope.

Dahntay Jones and Roy Hibbert have added a surprising bit of morale, too. Jones has not only been taking it down defensively, but he's also been a shocking offensive presence. The last two games he's had 20+ points. Hibbert has been getting about a block a game and usually a double double.

I really miss NBA TV :(

I just secured NBA TV and I didn't know I lived without it.

I had it all of last season. Sundays were my favorite. They showed about 30 of the best minutes of the top 10 games of the week that are mostly out of market for me. Wow that was topps. :( im gutted this year.

Why don't you have it now? Do you have DirecTV? cuz i know it switched channels on there.

lol Phil

Hmm, could there be some latent frustration in Phil Jackson about Pau Gasol’s slow-to-heal right hamstring?

Before the Lakers played the Pistons Tuesday night, Jackson said Gasol went through practice Monday and shootaround Tuesday morning and Jackson hoped Gasol would be able to play in the game. Alas, he remained on the inactive list. When Jackson was asked if he was concerned Gasol was being gun-shy, he jumped in and said, “That he’s a hypochondriac and might be a baby and won’t come out and play? Is that what you’re trying to say with that question?”

That drew laughs. Then Jackson turned TV critic, referring to Gasol’s guest appearance on “CSI: Miami.”

“I think he got injured on CSI and he’s not telling us the truth,” Jackson said. “I watched that program last night just to see if that was what [happened]. And then he dragged that kid out of the car; I’m sure that’s where he got that injury.

“I never watched [the show] before. I was totally amazed that people watch it. I can’t believe people actually watch that stuff.”

When someone compared Gasol’s acting duties to Andrew Bynum hoisting a Playmate at a Playboy Mansion party while out with an injury last season, Jackson stayed on his roll.

“That’s good for his shoulders,” Jackson said. “It’s another thing to be dragging someone and stretch your hamstring like Pau was doing.”

And finally, on Pau’s future in the acting biz: “I told him to keep his night job.”

We switched from DirectTV back to Suddenlink Cable. Cheaper & everything else is the same..I couldn't justify paying like 60 extra bucks a month simply for 1 channel.

I got NBALP for the first time this year and now get NBA TV also. I love it

Antawn Jamison back tonight. Him and Butler and Arenas look amazing together. Fucking hate LeBron and his stupid crab dribble.

Schlomey, I will share my NBATV with you...but you can only have the shows with Rick Kamla on them.

Holler at your Boykins

Hahahaha. I do like the Wizards. Mike Miller needs to stop wearing that stupid undershirt though, same with Jamison.

I cant believe they let up on the Knicks and lost that game. Un fucking real. They wont make the playoffs doing that shit.

Today is the 5 year anny of Artest going to play with people in the crowd in Detroit

I think Jamison wore it cause of something to do with his shoulder. Mike Miller is the most hilarious guy of all time though

Love this Wizards team so much.

Arenas, Butler, Jamison all healthy
Mike Miller
Earl Boykins
Andray Blatch going crazy
I miss Darius Songaila though

Oh my god, I was so pissed. They stopped running the offense through Granger while he was on fire and that fucking killed them. It didn't feel like they made a shot that wasn't a free throw in the second half. When Granger fouled out, it was over.

At least Hansbrough looked good and Hibbert continued being awesome. It just wasn't enough. I really hope they get their shit back together. During the five game win streak they really looked like a playoff team. Especially against the Celts.

Hate to pull a SammyG here, but with Pau back, this Lakers team is poised for another championship.

Fuck you Juan, and my God , seeing Pau back out there was amazing.

yep seeing players who have played for my favorite team for a while playing is pretty amazing usually

Granger vs Lebron tonight. Granger is gunna be on fire tonight. He's been red hot lately.

Let me just say that the Bulls are disappointing me this year. They have had a few wins but they have NOT performed well at all in the good games. Win or lose I was hoping they would at least give The Celtics & The Lakers a game...fuck all that was a boring show last night :(

I am so mad. Why would the Knicks not want to sign AI. They are doing nothing this year, at least throw someone out there who can put on a show night in and night out.

Donnie Walsh said there is no place to play him because it would hurt the development of everyone, THE ENTIRE TEAM WILL BE GONE NEXT YEAR!! AND WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A 2 GUARD WHICH IS WHAT AI PLAYS!!

I hope Donnie Walsh likes how Jennings and Gordon are playing because at we should have drafted one of them to get our 2 guard.
