Knicks Knacks

Waving the flags

February

Did anybody else take attendance?
I noticed Toronto was running with a guy from Italy,Â a guy from Spain, a guy from Argentina, a guy from Slovenia, and the only American in the bunch spent six years playing overseas.

Let’s not accuse anyone of being narrow minded.

This is the organization that once provided opportunities for the likes of Mirsad Turkan, Fred Weis and Maciej Lampe, so it’s hard to blame anyone in this regime for staying a little closer to home. I just like the way most of the internationals up in Toronto play the game.

Isiah Thomas could use more players who pass and catch, and less players who dribble and shoot.

Not much about tonight’s game we haven’t been over before.

Jamal Crawford is beginning to find out what it’s like to be Stephon Marbury. He’s getting swarmed, which is why it’s not good when your leading scoring is your point guard. It makes the poor guy easier to defend. And you’ll notice Crawford is setting up shop behind the arc because it’s just easier. He’s 16 for 48 from long range over the last four games.

And if you’re wondering just how this rebuilding project can take so long, check out the photo of Knicks owner James Dolan on the homepage, helping out in New Orleans last weekend. Notice the little paint brush? Notice the big wall? Use a roller for crying out loud.

That must have been quite the conversation between Stern and Dolan. I guess the little paint brush isn’t a model of intelligence either..

Mike,

That is hilarious commentary on the little paint brush and rebuilding. Seriously. Hilarious.

Dolan is really something else. After I had a good laugh about his painting strategy, I couldn’t help but look him up to see if he ever went to high school or college or anything. I didn’t find the answer, but I found the myspace page for his horrible band JD and the Straight Shots http://www.myspace.com/jdandthestraightshot. The message board is filled with people ripping into him and Isiah.

Could this be a way to communicate with him??? He must look at the page to see if anyone actually likes his saggy, tired music.
