You are going to have to suffer through this for the next six years

You would think that a professional basketball player of average intelligence would recognize an evening when his shot wasn't falling and decide that if he isn't going to get thirty points, he'd try his damndest to get thirty rebounds. Well, Carmelo Anthony is not of average intelligence and was hell bent on forcing poor shots whether or not he was double teamed or off balanced.

Since he has arrived in NYC the Knicks have a losing record and Stoudemire and Fields have become shells of themselves. Instead of uplifting the players around him Carmelo Anthony has lowered everyone's game.

Are you waiting for my solution to the problem? There isn't one. You are going to have to suffer through this for the next six years. Good luck with that.

So let's recap shall we. In order to acquire Anthony and make room for his salary the Knicks traded to Denver Danillo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Timofey Mozgov and Wilson Chandler along with two second round picks the Knicks acquired in the trade of David Lee to Golden State. The Knicks also traded Anthony Randolph and Eddie Curry's expiring contract, which probably would have been enough to get Chris Paul, to Minnesota for Corey Brewer, who would have made a nice two or three for the Knicks but was promptly sent to Dallas. Brewer was able to cash that bright idea into a championship ring. Do you still think it was a good idea to give up all that talent and cap space for Marshmelo?

But I digress, the Knicks Lose Again Phoenix 91 - Knicks 88

This team will hover around .500%

Until the guard positions are sorted out this team will hover around .500%. That's just all there is to it.

The sooner we can see what Baron Davis has to offer the sooner we can package Fields and Douglas for a two guard with a consistent shot.

Patrick Ewing is advising Dwight Howard to stay in Orlando so all you fans and media types can just dislodge from your minds any notions of a Howard for Stoudemire trade. Ain't happening and I think Ryan Anderson just hit another three.

I did get a kick out of seeing Quentin Richardson whooping and hollering over his team's victory acting much like a woman scorned joyfully seeing her ex being hauled off by the police who found his weed stash. Well Quentin if you weren't such an over weight lazy bastard you probably would have stayed a Knick but you seemed to enjoy showing up to the great New York restaurants more than you did showing up to camp in shape. No one is happier to see you in an Orlando Magic uniform than Knicks fans.

The Knicks Lose Again, Magic 102 - Knicks 93

The D'Antoni watch has officially begun

With the best record in the West and coming off a five game winning streak I didn't bother to watch this game because I knew what the outcome would be when the Knicks faced the Oklahoma Thunder tonight. The score was closer than I had expected until I saw the box scores. It was never really close at all.

The D'Antoni watch has officially begun.
