Raining buckets. For once they click and Curry and Ellis join the string of NBA guards whining the Knicks are playing too hard. Knicks by 12; Nate has 20 off the bench.

If it holds up expect Nate, TD, Harrington and "how do you get food to your mouth with those hands" Jeffries off the bench.

Going to be at the game tonight.

If someone starts a Fire D'Antoni chant, I will be ready to rumble.

D'antoni better enjoy tonight's game.

He'll get to utilize his crap system twice a year and maybe beat out a win or 2, when the Warriors come to New York and when the sorry Knicks go to Golden State.

Someone yelled "FIRE DANTONI" or "FIRE DONNIE" at the end of Wednesday's game... with like a minute or less to go. Not sure if anyone heard that.

That's silliness though. Anyone expecting to be good this year, or now expecting major changes to try to be good this year, is lost on the plan at hand. This year is absolutely meaningless outside of seeing if what the kids can do and trying to dump jeffries and curry. Nothing else matters. So to think we'd make moves, or firings, based off of being 1-8, when we have no TRUTHFUL expectations of winning this season, is just not going to happen.

Still wouldn't mind seeing Ellis in blue and Gold. Curry for Ellis straight up. Both these guys need a fresh start. I say they trade coasts, posts and toasts

Looks to me like Walsh has instructed D'A to play the vets to increase the likelyhood of moving them at some point. And if you cannot 'make' buckets; not just shoot them he doesn't want you on the floor regardless of your defensive skills. (Darko)

His faith in Duhon is based on something I don't see. And Jared 'Mitten Hands' Jeffries. At least Jeffries will move his feet and take a charge though. More than I can say for Lee. Anyone buy Jeffries a protein shake and some stick'em?

“But on the other hand, there’s a bigger job: Young guys have got to get better, we have to see what we have with the players we have out there right now so we know what we’re going to do in the future. And that, to me, is the goal.”

Not going to lie, our fans are pissing me off almost as much as the team is.

At the home opener, a whole section of idiots were clapping their thundersticks.....when WE WERE AT THE LINE!

I wasn't at Wednesday's game but if I hear those Fire D'Antoni chants tonight, I will have to pull a Sprewell and choke someone.

Pain? Please. This ain't pain.

90% of everything that happened from the day Patrick was traded to the end of the 2008 season - THAT was real pain.

All this is is an annoyance in a season that doesn't matter. But I want our squad to compete and not get beat by crap like Indy or Golden State.

Somebody in the stands would like to voice his opinion and propose a starting lineup. He may have some valid points.

No problem. I might join you. Already skipped one. I will probably watch about 50 games this year.

Meanwhile we have FIVE days off after tonight (yeah, thats odd). Then we're at Indy, then another THREE days off (one game in 8 days?)

Then we play 4 in 5 nights.

Not sure what that's about....
