Your Pregame Moment of Zen
What's Good with the Knicks?
Joining us today is the noted bonobo expert "Seth" Rosenthal, whom I first encountered on a trip to the Andes in 2003:
Things that are good about the Knicks: Well, the Knicks have won seven straight. They tell me this is a good thing. I wouldn't know because things like this don't happen to the Knicks very often at all. And the crazy part, of course, is that most of those games were played without Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire (the latter of whom has been back for two games after leaving the team to mourn the death of his brother). The team is defending as well as it ever has, they're moving the ball much more freely on offense, and they actually look like they're having fun sometimes. Landry Fields has broken out of his six-month long cocoon of suckiness, Iman Shumpert has settled into a comfortable role as a back-up swingman, and Tyson Chandler's offense is even rowdier than it was earlier in the season. Chandler and Jeffries have anchored a defense that can really bug folks and force a lot of turnovers when it's engaged.Oh, and they have this new point guard. I like him!
What's Bad with the Knicks?
Here's Seth again (also check out POSTING AND TOASTING):
Without that point guard, the Knicks don't look very good at all (which isn't surprising). Um, and a lot of people are worried that Carmelo Anthony's gonna return to the team and like decapitate the new point guard and take all the shots and fire pistols at the people in the crowd or something. There's not much bad right now, for like the first time ever.
Other Notes
- I wrote up a thing on the top ten NBA rookies today (still no Gustavo Ayon :( )
- The Knicks haven't lost in two weeks
- Go Hornets?

As someone who lived in China for 2+ years
I’m very interested in Lin. It’s always funny to see China try to claim Taiwanese stars as their own. There is no doubt he will lead all-star votes next year and every year to come.
Rohan...
Did you say Go Knicks????I must have read the post at Posting and Toasting wrong, but just wanted to verify.
C'mon Hornets...stop playing so well
WE HAVE UNIBROWS TO DRAFT!!!!

Don't worry
it won’t be for the rest of the year.
I hate how Beli misses more WIDE open 3’s than any other SG in the NBA.
Lol
just noticed Lin with 9 turnovers. Seemed like he’s had a fair number but didn’t expect that many. Yeah NYK and all the writers crapping on Melo, it’s Lin’s team.
AYONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When one scans this game's boxscore
Kaman’s 4 assists so far are the most amazing stat.
Question – would you guys rather have Kaman or Okafor?
Okafor easily.
These fadeaways are getting on my nerves.

Grrrr
Hornets get one game all season on ESPN…. and its not on MY ESPN here in New Zealand. Tennis on at the moment, then they’re showing the Lakers game.

You might find
that some NBA games are screened on Maori TV at roughly the same time slots as ESPN’s. And they’re not all the mainstream games

Ayon needs more minutes
Kaman has shot horribly but 5 assists? ill take that, great to see Vasquez and Ayon with double doubles
Yeah
he didn’t get off to a good start and Monty didn’t give him hardly anytime in the first half. Kaman’s 6 assists is real nice. Instead of putting up 23 shots, he’s actually looking for others when his shot isn’t falling. Guys, I really feel, some team is going to pony up something decent for him.
So 3 in a row
we’ve hit the quota for the month? Really I guess it was due as we weren’t getting blown out in most of our losses. I really think it’s been key to get a good starting lineup together. They play really well together. It’s kind of why I threw out the Kaman v. Okafor out there…
Vasquezanity, 15 points, 11 assists, and only 3 to's. Nice win Hornets! 3 in a row and put a dent in Linsanity
Robert Crumb: You turned yourself into a comic hero?
Harvey Pekar: Sorta, yeah. But no idealized s***. No phony bulls***. The real thing, y'know? Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.
