Good day, dumplings. The Knicks head to Charlotte tonight seeking their first win of the season against the demon-coach and his Charlotte Bobcats. In the meantime, let's catch up on some links, newsworthy and otherwise.

- New York Magazine is keeping track of the ups and downs of li'l Nate Robinson, and let's just say that his 0-8 opening night performance...was a down.

- They mentioned this during the broadcast of game one: NYKnicks.com asked a bunch of Knicks (scroll down for the link) what the best song ever written is. I knew Toney Douglas was old-school. (What they didn't show is that Jared Jeffries' favorite song is "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor.)

- The word from Alan Hahn is that Mike D'Antoni might consider shuffling Danilo Gallinari into the starting lineup at some point in the near future. It won't be tonight, though.

- If you caught the MSG broadcast of the first game, you probably saw the new Knicks commercials featuring Robert Randolph and The Family Band. It's a little cheesy, but I like that RR's a true Knicks fan (he's at games all the time). In other news, those guys just finished recording an album with T-Bone Burnett, which is neat.

- Damn straight, Danilo Gallinari is one of the sophomores to watch this year.

- Just a note that tonight's game is at 7, not 7:30. Come join in the game thread! There might be goody bags!*

- Kipunjis emit a loud, deep sound known as a "honk-bark". The more you know.

Check back these parts in a few hours for a game thread. Tell your friends.

*There won't be goody bags.

Man, I hate Coach A-hole

But not as much as Darko does.

I can’t remember where I saw the link, but in the offseason Darko told a story about the demon coach. Darko said that he was playing during the finals and broke his hand the first minute that he was out there. He asked to come out, but the Demon Coach wouldn’t let him and implored Darko to “play the right way.”

Classy.
