Some chump named Willie Green

The Knicks only have themselves to blame for this loss. Although the Hawks did play as if they had a point to prove against their old coach Mike Woodson especially Larry Drew who politicked behind Woodson's back to ownership that he was the man to turn the team around expediting Woodson's firing. Or so the rumor mill goes.

The team did themselves in from the free throw line shooting only about 65% and then with desperate and sometimes mental lapses on defense in the final few minutes the Knicks allowed some chump named Willie Green to hit tear drops and three pointers sealing the Knicks fate for good.

Without Lin and Amare each man has to step up and take easy points when given to them. This team must not squander free throw opportunities like this down the stretch or they'll never get anywhere.

Should I order a pizza or should I go to bed? I think I'll go to bed and save the pizza money for Saturday night's Pimm's Cup party in my living room.

The winning streak is over

Tonight the Toronto Raptors played a zone and physically challenged every shot near the basket. The Knicks simply weren't ready for the defensive strategy and missed a lot of shots.

According to the Toronto newspapers the Raptors are tired of being bullied and couldn't wait to get some revenge on the Knicks tonight. The referees rewarded their aggressiveness and the Knicks were not prepared for it.

To add insult, when the Knicks did manage to draw fouls they also couldn't hit free throws.

It was simply a very poor shooting night for the Knicks and the winning streak is over.

Let's hope that going forward coach Woodson can make the necessary adjustments at half time when faced with a defense he hadn't prepared his team for, like tonight's game.

***Breaking News*** Mike D'Antoni is Nevermore


Well, something had to give.

This mess of a franchise had to make a change and it is reported the decision was mutual. Mike D'Antoni has resigned from the head coach position of the New York Knicks.

Now it's officially Carmelo Anthony's team.

No more excuses now Mr. Anthony.

From this day forward no more blaming Mike D'Antoni and no more blaming Jeremy Lin. The praise or blame from this moment on rests squarely on your shoulders.

Let's see what'cha got now!
