Conisdering we'd only play Boston or Chicago in the playoffs. We actually match up very weel against Chicago 2-0 against them this year, as they struggle top cope with our outside game. We need help inside which is why we've brought in Brown and Jeffries. Got to measure it against where we were a year ago. Through the years of Scott Layden and Isiah making stupid trades we finally have a bit of hope.

You no doubt have the 'foundations' set. You have two franchise players with one of the most experienced point guards going. Fields is a great rookie who looks set to have a solid career, but when your 'big three' are putting those numbers up and you're still not winning, you do wonder about the rest. Still, the Knicks are on the up but these playoffs will be a year or two early IMO.

We take stupid shots and aren't disciplined enough on D. I think a coaching change would be good to be honest. Thibodeaux at Chicago would have been great. A sneaky run at Phil Jackson might be worthwhile.

Who's left OOC this summer? Any decent centres?

Breezed through the hornets without Billups. Got the Cavs tonight, hoping for a massive payback as they've defeated us twice this year. In other news, Lebron and the Heat choke again whilst giving up a 19 point lead.

Awesome D in the 2nd half obviously

And that was with Howard pretty much shut out of the game. Open up room for the others though. Keeping them to 30+ points in the 2nd half is pretty good though.

Cleveland cavaliers beat us AGAIN. Jaysus. Why do we keep losing against that pile of shat. In other news I'm blowing away the Yanks in my ESPN fantasy league. I'm currently 7-1 up against the 2nd team in the standings. That'll give me a 13 game lead.

Did anyone watch the Spurs last night? That first quarter was unreal.

The Heat choke AGAIN. Great game from Derrick Rose.

He was the difference on Friday between the Magic and the Bulls. To be fair they're starting to look very good.

Gotta be the MVP in my eyes. Another stroll of the Knicks last night. Jared Jeffries 1 point in 100 minutes. What a player though. The new Rodman.
