Thursday Corsac Foxes

407px-vulpes_corsac_medium

Morning, babychilds. With NBA basketball drawing to a close tonight and the draft one week away, let's take a quick stroll around the internet.

- Corsac foxes don't dig their own burrows. They hijack burrows dug by other animals. They're like the demon-coach of the animal kingdom.

- This is the most in-depth look at James Dolan's career as a blues musician that I've ever read. A sample:

Not surprisingly, he sings a lot about being wronged. The Daily News, the tabloid he has tangled with most, took a drubbing in "Daily News Blues." So did Eliot Spitzer, the former governor, whom he wrote was caught "sinning like the sinners" in the unsubtly titled "Fall From Grace." Even animals can’t escape Mr. Dolan’s fury. In 2005, he recorded "Gonna Kill That Dog," a jazzy ditty about an annoying hound that won’t quit barking.

"With my music there is no doubt who sang it and who wrote it," he said. "It’s personal."

- MSG's Jon Rothstein spoke to Bill Self about Iowa State's Craig Brackins, who keeps coming up as a favorite of Donnie Walsh and the Knicks.

- In the bowels of this interesting Alan Hahn post about Eddy Curry (Subscription needed, I know. I'm sorry.), one can find this bit about Bill Walker:

One player who showed up about a week ago is Bill Walker, who has apparently already dropped about 10 pounds. The Knicks want him around 220 and word is Walker was playing at about 240 during the season.

Yes.

- The "Sprite Slam Dunk Showdown" is making its way to New York again in a few days. The event is this Saturday at South Street Seaport, and Daryl Dawkins will be there. Here's some stuff from the final event last year to give you a sense of the competition.

- An interesting take (with room for fan input) on how the Madison Square Garden experience stacks up against other arenas.

- Tommy Dee makes the case that, should the Knicks go big in this year's draft, nobody's going to have the patience for a project. Given the way people received Jordan Hill last year, I can't help but agree. The Knicks roster is too thin to draft somebody who can't contribute this season.

- Have you been dying to watch the Knicks' win against the Hawks from March of 1998? Well, your journey starts here. Anthony Bowie, y'all. The game has a strange, anticlimactic ending. I really don't know why it's on Youtube, but it's pretty fun to watch.

Have excellent days, you little waifs.

yikes

why would you want to see that?

by Seth on Jun 17, 2010 10:52 AM EDT up reply actions  

I think

Tim Thomas… .. did something, like fell down and then got mad at the Nets. And it didn’t help.

Also, I hadn’t watched the Knicks much in the previous few years, and I stopped at a bar to watch game 1. Before that, I had never seen a team play no defense. It was sort of fascinating. Not.

wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute

this is pretty weird…that’s the first game i ever went to at the garden; i even have the free t-shirt that they gave away still. is this some kind of omen for a good summer?

Brackins would be perfect

altho I think if we get Brackins that’d mean Lee would or should be gone. It wouldn’t make sense to give him a serious offer If we got Brackins with both of them being so similiar.

I’d preferer a big man who can swat some balls away…ll or a banger who could score in the low post like Eddy used to be able to do.

Pickings are slim tho and I’d be happy with anyone who can do something positive to contribute even if that contribution is crochet blankies to keep the team warm during inclimate weather.

If this is where we are headed

then lets get this sign and trade on and poppin!! I want tremendous value.

what would even be better is if we get a legit 2G for him, draft brackins who looks prettty good on tape (offensively anyways) and score in FA at the 3-5 positions :)

Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do

Do we really think that should we get a guy like Brackins, he can instantly replace David Lee?

This kinda gets us into trouble. We have to build depth… Brackins will have a miniscule rookie contract.

by Chris Child's Fist on Jun 17, 2010 2:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think Brackins basically IS Lee

coming out of college at least..but he’s a rook and gonna have rook mistakes. An outright replacement right away? No..not at all.

Ideally, the Knicks would have Lee for 2010 on a 1 year deal, then draft Brackins and let him take over.

Any of these players the Knicks draft are not gonna be starters, plain and simple. Hell, if they’re anything more then the 7th or 8th guy in the rotation, something may have went wrong and/or the Knicks just aren’t gonna contend.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

by FreeBradshaw on Jun 17, 2010 3:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah, I guess thats what I was trying to get to

I like the idea of building depth, in a similar way to what Utah had done with Millsap and Boozer (though yeah they didnt ncessarily intend it that way) and Orlando with Gortat and Howard.

just because we get a guy who can rebound and help the frontcourt, doesn’t mean we should move the guy whos doing it currently, especially if he is doing it well.

it’s wierd seeing starks in those late 90’s jerseys.

there were multiple errors on one of the songs listed - fixed below

Even animals assholes can’t escape Mr. Dolan’s fury.

In 2005, he recorded “Gonna Kill That Dog Layden,” a jazzy ditty about an annoying hound that won’t quit barking an annoying GM that won’t quit spending money.
