Welcome to Knicks basketball in 2009, my friends. Your Knicks kick off the New Year at MSG (the same place I was when the ball dropped) against the struggling Indiana Pacers. Alongside the lethal Danny Granger, Indy's got size, including Roy Hibbert and Jeff Foster (a member of the same species as David Lee: Rebounder caucasius). They've also got T.J. Ford, the maddening little rodent that always gives the Knicks problems. With fans and media ready to write them off and a tough slate of games ahead (home against Boston followed by an extended Western road trip), it's in New York's best interest to manufacture a win this evening. This here's your spot for comments throughout the game. I'll be around. Go Knicks.
Check out the excellent Indy Cornrows for all things Pacerific. (Side note: A glance back reminds me how absolutely stacked this team was back in the day. Oh, how I hated them.)

do you still hate your new dog?
i was thinking about getting one but a) this is a pretty shitty time of year to own a dog, and b) i have to be at work at 5:45 AM.

Dear Jared Jeffries
please stop shooting. you’ve already exceeded your shot quota for the week.

My GOD
was that a bad call.
"I'll probably go get lifted right now with Greg. Hey, and come back tomorrow and try to get another win."
-Renaldo
wow
some iffy calls on both ends. let em play, refs.
Posting and Toasting: Blogging Robin Hood-Style Since 2007
Funny thing is
There were no calls at all for about 4 gametime minutes. It took about 10 minutes to see a replay of that Lee dunk. Now, it’s a foul-a-palooza.

Speaking of drinking and basketball
Charles Barkley. That is all.

what does he have to do to lose his job with TNT?
he might have to kill someone.

i think its the other way
he’d have to be boring. his antics are what make him so watchable.
Posting and Toasting: Blogging Robin Hood-Style Since 2007
and somehow
he’s made driving drunk- perhaps one of the more despicable and dangerous crimes around- lovable.

can't fault his honesty
dude always says what he thinks, whether it be dumb, racist, or a little bit of both.

Not sure you guys got the whole story
"According to the Smoking Gun, when pulled over by the cops the former NBA superstar said:
"You want the truth? I was gonna drive around the corner and get a blow job."
Cooperating with the cop, Barkley also joked “I’ll tattoo your name on my ass” if it would get him out of the DUI charge."

“a girl that one week earlier given him a blowjob that he described as "the best one he ever had in his life.”

I wish Jared Jeffries were dead.
If he shoots 4 shots a game, he misses 5.

Pacers must be surprised to play a team
that’s actually worse defensively than they are.

Troy Murphy to the hoop
this “defense” lineup that D’Antoni is going with is working nicely. time to get JJ out of there and get Q and the scorers back in.

FINALLY they push the ball. and how about some techs?

didn't see it
Pacers announcers are saying Granger slammed the ball in frustration, then O’Brien went off. here’s the golden opportunity to get back into the game.
