The NBA needs to investigate

The first half of the Knicks - Grizzlies game was a physical, close and hard contested match. It did get a little chippy towards the end of the second quarter when Bayless and JR Smith got into a little pushing match but nothing that wasn't expected with the hard natured play of the quarter.

However, coming out of half time this punk crew of referees decided that such physical play was no longer tolerated but only on the part of the Knicks.

I would love to attack the Knicks for giving up or not caring but the refs were hell bent on making sure that the Knicks big men including Anthony got into foul trouble to ensure a win by Memphis.

Yes I said it the fucking refs were dirty and gave Memphis the game.

Now it didn't help that the Knicks couldn't make a three ball and got very frustrated and boisterous and began collecting technical fouls but when you aren't allowed to play defense when the other team can push you around you simply don't have a chance.

The Knicks fought valiantly in the fourth quarter to take what was a 21 point lead down to 10 points behind Memphis but the hole that the officials dug for them was much too deep to climb out of.

I am sure that before the road trip the Knicks would have been more than happy to take a split and fully expecting the winning streak to be over but when the referees are clearly cheating I don't blame them for being pissed off.

I am no longer a Knicks fan and would have enjoyed watching them lose but not by cheating, not poor officiating mind you but referees cheating to the point where I think the NBA needs to investigate that crew.

Knicks lose again, Memphis 105 - Knicks 95

As a result of the storm

Mayor Bloomberg just announced that he asked the NBA to cancel tomorrow night's opening game against the Nets in Brooklyn due to complications as a result of the storm. Just means that the Knicks get to prolong their first ass kicking.

As you may know Amare' is out for 6-8 weeks which I regretfully feel might be a blessing in disguise.

When Amare gets back the Knicks will probably have a nice roll going and he'll have no choice but to accept a lesser position on the second team. I was hoping for a lot of in fighting over minutes and bad personnel changes by Woodson. Now it looks like I'm not going to get that and Felton and Carmelo are going to establish a similar relationship that Raymond and Amare once shared.

The Knicks might actually have a decent season now. Damn it!

Shall we crown them now?!?

The Knicks have signed Rasheed Wallace. So I guess that means I should take down my Brooklyn Nets Banners and put the hats in the closet right?!?
