Wednesday Trioks

Good day, pilgrims. The Knicks are signed up to play basketball against the Atlanta Hawks at home tonight. In the meantime, let's take a look at what's floating around the world wide web.

- Eddy Curry practiced with the team yesterday and...Holy Jared Fogel, what happened!? NYKnicks.com has the words and video on the big guy, who looks like his own little brother right now. I saw Eddy in person no more than 6 weeks ago and the amount of progress he's made is astounding. I was ready to discount his ever playing this season completely, but things appear to be looking up.

- From that same article, Nate Robinson practiced yesterday and could be ready to go against Atlanta tonight. The Knicks could badly use his offense, provided he can relocate his shooting touch.

- Trey Kerby runs the "Phenomenal Swag" feature at Ball Don't Lie, and happened upon some fresh kicks for the suffering Knick fan/hipster in your life. I think we can call these people "Knicksters".

- You'll probably object to my invoking the name of Charles Smith in this space, but you should know that he's been up to some philanthropy since becoming dead to you in '94. Howard Beck profiles Smith's engagement with the NBA Retired Players Association.

- Mike Kurylo of Knickerblogger tells Donnie Walsh what's what about advanced statistics and Walsh...well...read for yourself.

- Danilo Gallinari isn't on the All-Star ballot, which infuriates me. It also infuriated me when Danilo Gallinari wasn't elected president or named Top Chef or America's Next Top Model. ALL THESE HATERS. I wouldn't be surprised to see some cock in the three-point shootout, though. And by that I mean Daniel Gibson might participate.

- I have a feeling that a few of you will foam at the mouth after reading this bit of opinion on Chris Bosh. If you do foam at the mouth, you should consider getting treatment.

- All I'm saying is don't let your guard down around that Tate's triok. Something fishy about that character.

Come back later for a Knicks-Hawks game thread and maybe my celebrity sex tape. Maybe.

Maybe it defies nature and is constantly expanding, like the universe.

Damn

When the season started, I never would have thought I’d think that Eddy Curry, even if healthy, could make the Knicks a better team. But damn, I have to say, not only has he lost the pounds but he’s got a different look in his eye. Everything’s always come easy to him and now, for the first time in his life, he’s facing the possible end of his basketball career. If I were him, I’d be scared shitless. And he looks like he is. You know, the guy is still young, and if he has gotten the message that he has to work hard to take care of himself (It’s not that far-fetched – it happens to a lot of guys) shoot, I find myself thinking he could help us. If he could just put forth a little effort on D and rebounding, in addition to his scoring, we would be a lot less soft in the middle.

I’m rooting for him.

WOW

Curry does not even look the same! Good for him, you cannot help but root for him at this point.

Eddy looks great!

Isiah’s a genius!

curry

always rooting for him. the refs will probably still call three offensive fouls on him for overpowering the poor defender. just wonder what d’antoni is going to do.

Is Eddy gonna see the court any time soon?

If he’s ready I really can’t see how he’d hurt right now.

Also, that whole Bosh thing? I mean yea, I wouldn’t want him as the only FA the Knicks target….but I really wouldn’t be mad if they got him.

I’d rather have Amare of course…but I mean the Knicks could do a lot worse than Chris Bosh….like say…David Lee.

It would be wise if...

someone mentioned to Peter Stein that Chris Bosh doesn’t play C in Toronto. They let Bargnani and Nesterovic play center and Bosh at the PF spot. His big rebounding numbers are coming because they also have another big body. It happens to be Bargnani who will shoot 3s and can draw out the other teams center. That kinda helps on the rebounding for Bosh. He’s putting up good numbers, yes, but if he were to come to the Knicks as the only big, he will be playing out of position.
