Sunday Musky Rat-Kangaroos

Good afternoon, clams. I hope everyone's having a pleasant Sunday and that those of you getting gradually entombed in snow are comfortable and well-fed. For your lazy afternoon enjoyment, here are a few links.

Take the jump, but take your time. The links aren't going anywhere.

- The musky rat-kangaroo is an Oceanic marsupial that's the last extant species in the prehistoric and fun-to-pronounce Hypsiprymnodontinae family. It may be a marsupial, but for my money, it's more rat than kangaroo.

- Amar'e Stoudemire's mom is a pretty interesting lady, and she was in attendance for yesterday's win over the Bulls. Marc Berman caught up with her afterward. (The headline of that article was simply "Stoudemire Gives Mom" overnight. I'm disappointed that I refreshed the page.)

- If you've been reading and hearing endless nonsense about the Knicks' "pick-and-roll" without fully understanding what that is, Alan Hahn has a Christmas gift for you.

- Speaking of Christmas gifts, those of you bombarding me with emails asking for Knicks Women's Cycling Shorts are in luck. I hope each of you got a sexy pair of those in your stocking.

- Here's video of Landry Fields's snipe of a tip-in from yesterday. Here's Landry discussing the play.

- There appears to be a wide chasm between the headline and content of this particular article, but...yeah, Roger Mason Jr. isn't completely thrilled with riding the bench. Sounds like he's being nothing but a gentleman about it. News?

- This guy is totally Darko Milicic's ancestor. He's got the Milicic hair, the Milicic brow and, most importantly, the Milicic gaze of indifference.

- Fun bit from Howard Beck's game story:

It also took a while for the crowd to find its voice. It was so quiet in the first half that a single fan could be heard crowing — as in cock-a-doodle-do — when Gallinari, nicknamed the Rooster, was at the foul line.

"I heard that," Gallinari said with a grin. "I like it. You got to thank that guy and let me meet him."

Dear genius who crowed at a Knicks game: DANILO GALLINARI WANTS TO MEET YOU. PLEASE TAKE HIM UP ON THAT.

That'll be all. Enjoy yourselves. I love you all.

I'm not sure Gallo should thank that guy

“I heard that,” Gallinari said with a grin. “I like it. You got to thank that guy and let me meet him.”

That guy was sitting a few rows behind me, and Gallo missed 3 straight free throws with this sound effect. I’m also not sure it was made with good intentions, there were an awful lot of Bulls fans in the garden yesterday.

I stand corrected!

It just looked like it bothered him. The Garden was dead silent and that rooster crow was echoing throughout the arena…

after Bulls made buckets it almost sounded like a home game (well, a home game for the Hornets)

It confused my mom a bit… she clapped a few times for Bulls baskets. But I can’t be mad with her though, she got the tickets with her hookup at the commissioner’s office…

These days

they don’t let you swing dead cats at all. It’s some bullshit.

"Anyway, you should check out the movie "Black and White," which actually stars Allan Houston. It’s not a comedy, but rather a really serious and emotional movie." - Wilson Chandler

RMJ would be getting a shot if he showed something in practice

he showed that he stinks when in the games and really has nothing to be mad at.

Burned:

When asked whether he’d play Mason because of his Christmas heroics against his former team, D’Antoni responded: “Who?”

I love it.

Stoudemire has become one of the league’s top scorers this season as a direct result of his dramatically increased efficiency in the pick-and-roll. According to a study by Synergy Sports Technology done specifically for Newsday after 28 games, despite the fact that Stoudemire is in the pick-and-roll 6.2 percent less of the time this season than he was last season with the Suns, he is scoring 0.187 more points per possession in the pick-and-roll than he did last season.

More impressive is that he is shooting an amazing 70.8 percent on his field-goal attempts that come off the pick-and-roll, which is 12.5 percent better than last season. Stoudemire’s 1.364 points per possession in the pick-and-roll this season ranks him in the 93rd percentile among all NBA players in 2010-11.

I am a fan of both the mets and knicks... so just kill me now.
