The unauthorized Knicks blog from Journal News beat writer Mike Dougherty

A little comic relief

September
28

It only takes about three or four minutes to notice the difference.

We used to laugh at past regimes. Right now, we are laughing with Donnie Walsh and Mike D’Antoni.

Here’s a couple of the best moments from our Friday visit:

In a lengthy conversation about Stephon Marbury, somebody pointed out the controversial playmaker had a history or a pattern of clashing with coaches here going back a couple of years to Larry Brown.

“There’s a history or a pattern with Larry, too,” Walsh countered.

Somebody asked D’Antoni whether he thought about the Knicks while he was inBeijing for the Olympics.

“You mean when I was on top of the Great Wall ready to jump off?” he shot back.

Priceless.

D’Antoni cracks himself up at least once in every interview. He’ll want to maintain that sense of humor when the Knicks look lost, which is pretty much inevitable.

“I’m just trying to get Donnie to schedule more games,” he said. “If we could get 120 game we might win a nice number.”

Media Day is tomorrow, we’ll talk more then.
