Remember me?

It’s been a while, but I’m killing time by covering a winning team.
Heck, if the Giants beat Cincinnati this weekend that’ll be three in a row. In all honesty, it’s fun seeing how the other half lives, but I really do miss the constant swirl of controversy.
I actually have to think before I write.
Anyway, it sounds like many of the Knicks are getting warmed up. I checked in today and Eddy Curry, Jamal Crawford, David Lee, Nate Robinson, Danilo Gallinari, Zach Randolph and Chris Duhon have been working at the MSG Training Center on a regular basis.
Stephon Marbury hasn’t been running with the in-crowd, but there’s a growing belief within the organization that he will be in camp up at Skidmore. It would make a lot of sense for the organization to cut the controversial playmaker or commit to him for one more season before the players sit down on Sept. 29 at media day.
It will become a nagging story line if they allow it.
Allan Houston is logging a lot of court time, as well, and is apparently deciding whether he’s up for another comeback attempt. It seems the Knicks will always make room for him, as they should. He’s got enough ability left to stretch a defense and enough wisdom stored up to lead a group that’s never learned how to win.
Nobody seems to know whether Gallinari is capable of bending over and tying his shoes. There are going to be questions about his back until he proves to be healthy.
That’s it for now.
Again, sorry about disappearing, but you can always check me out at our Giants blog until I get back to basketball. And check out the new poll.

Mike,
I read DG needed a cortisone shot. What gives? Training camp hasn’t even begun and this guy already has chronic back problems. I can’t believe how snake bit this franchise is.
Is it over before it even started for this guy? Is this Quentin Richardson redux? Please tell me I’m over reacting!
From the Sporting News:
The Knicks are concerned that first-round pick F Danilo Galinari still has back pain, New York’s Newsday reported. Galinari had soreness in the area after playing in his first summer-league game in July and missed the remainder of the team’s games.
Great. Another forward with back pain.
Save us LeBron… you’re our only hope….
When Joe “Vanilla Sky” Alexander was available….I pleaded with my screen for them to take him…they took Dantoni’s old teamates kid…NYK Nation will rue the day they passed on Vanilla Sky…mark my words.
