Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Wednesday Tuco-Tucos

550028566_0abf3d7dd4_medium

Good morrow, all. Before I head out for the day, I thought I'd link you to some of the bigger stories in Knicks world, as well as open up a thread in which to discuss last night's playoff game. Here we are:

- Chris at TKB makes the case that the Knicks are in dire need of shot-blocking if they ever want to contend. Is Mouhamed Sene the answer? God I hope so. If not, who else is out there?

- Having cap space and some sort of direction works wonders: "According to Scott O'Neil, MSG President of Sports Teams, the Knicks have sold 950 new season-ticket packages since mid-April. That number is shocking considering all of last offseason, the Knicks totaled 1,000 new season-ticket packages."

- Anybody think the Cavs can still pull it off? Anybody rooting for the Magic? I'm not, but that's mostly because my obsessive-compulsive relationship with basketball forbids me from embracing an incomplete team. No Jameer Nelson, no dice. I hate injuries. AHHHHH!!!!!

- Speaking of which, if and when the Cavaliers are eliminated, expect the LeBron-to-New York talks to resurface in earnest. Between that and the above quote about budding season ticket sales, I wish there was some document we could sign that says "I was here back in the Shandon Anderson era". I fear an influx of clucking bandwagon fans if LeBron ever makes his way to the Big Apple. Not a bad problem to have, but yikes.

- It always tickles me when NBA players follow the rest of the league closely. Wilson Chandler is clearly paying attention to the playoffs.

- David Crockett of Knickerblogger has the Knicks taking Ty Lawson in his post-lottery mock draft.

- I'm shaking in my goldfish boots over the forthcoming FreeDarko book that tackles basketball history from the FD gang's delightfully sideways perspective. Gotta figure that Walt Frazier gets the treatment, no?

- Alan Hahn revisits the Cuttino Mobley situation following a critical Outside the Lines piece.

That'll be all, my little children. Have splendid little days, you all.

i didn't know it

but i needed tuco-tucos in my life really badly! i want that thing to my brother.

anyway. i am and was rooiting for the magic. i want lebron to suffer so the knicks can prosper. that being said… the clucks are going to show up and ruin a lot of the mystique. but the clucks are there anyway. but it’s true- there should be a test involved in the season ticket process. oh well tho, money makes the world go round.

nice links seth. and again, extra special thanks for the tuco-tucos, my new sibling.

I root for the Magic

cuz Lebron loosing increases chances he could unite with Ill Gallo….

And also I root against Lebron and his Cavs cuz they whine too much…especially Lebron. I root against teams that have players that yell ""HEY!!""" every time they go to the basket (These teams also have Pau Gasol and Paul Pierce on them…)

I really hope the Knicks pass on Ty Lawson. He might be fast, but I’d rather have a player with more potential than Chris Duhon, so I guess that means the Knicks will draft him…..

Oh well, Im taking my tuco-tuco for a walk, they actually like the rain you know.

Non-sequitur

For those blessed to have MSG (the network, not the Chinese food additive), I highly recommend a Fan’s Most Wanted special they’re currently running about the Knicks entitled D’Antoni Year 1.

Coach Pringles makes some funny quips and shares his unvarnished thoughts on Lee, Nate, etc.

"Ariza on Mobley, trying to put some chillin on his thrillin"

about jameer nelson

i think that him not being there makes it even cooler to root for the magic. consider: orlando now will probably be a finals team, and possibly a champion. next year, the magic are adding another all-star to their team. can you say dynasty?

how dare you!

How dare you mention Shandon Anderson and casually leave out HOWARD EISLEY!!

Thanks very much for inducing a coffee/bile filled burp/vomit as I read those names again.

And yes, I’d gladly sign such petition.

the shandon anderson petition reminded me of something i wrote a while back

i just did some google searches and dug up what i was looking for, for a recap i wrote here at the end of last season, when we somehow managed to beat the pistons.

“Look, bitches: one day, the Knicks will be a good team. And I’m going to say shit like, “you call yourself a fan? Well where were you during the Mardy Collins era?” and they’ll be like “doing important things” and I’ll realize I’ve wasted most of my life, but am still a morally superior Knicks fan. So I’m soaking in the shittiness in hopes it won’t last long. (It will.)"

i hope you all concur.

To Barnesgasm

I have been a fan since Bernard King. I watched as the Knicks would have the championship caliber team but broken up by decades. Getting the players we need too late or past their prime. Watching Layden destroy the team because they wanted more “wholesome” players. Watching people blame Isiah for Layden’s mess until Isiah finally imploded. I am glad that D’antoni is there don’t get me wrong, even more happy that Walsh is doing a great job cleaning up.
I just said that to say that it is good to know that we have some real fans left. Our paitence will payoff!!!!!!!

isn’t it super cute how on chandler’s twitter page, him and david lee are holding (apparently) holding hands behind the text. omg! bff!

by tak4prez on May 28, 2009 6:51 PM EDT reply actions  

I just want to note

that I’m probably the only person in America who started rooting for the Knicks this decade, not including little kids who were too young before that. I’ve followed the NBA since 1991, but I never liked Ewing and hated Starks/Oakley/Mason and especially Riley (I know, blasphemy), but I loved Houston and Sprewell and decided, being from NY, I really needed to be a Knicks fan. Good timing on my part, huh?
