Monday Golden Toads

by Seth on Jan 30, 2012 5:37 PM EST in Mamphibitiles

WHAT!? Two batches of mamphibitilian links in one day? Unheard of! Take the jump for MORE links if you're not scared.

- Golden toads are almost definitely extinct. The last one was seen in 1989. What everybody doesn't know is that I can animorph into a golden toad. If you tell them, I'll KILL you.

- First, as an update to the post before this one, Carmelo Anthony said he intends to test his ankle a bit before tomorrow's game to see if he's ready to suit up. Interesting that the ankle is now the major obstacle.

- Baron Davis's newest television project, "I Love Boom", is described as "Curb Your Enthusiasm meets Entourage", which maybe sounds appealing to those of you who definitely aren't me.

- I highly recommend you read today's "Monday Musings" from Zach Lowe. He points to a couple things the Knicks did in the last game to get Toney Douglas and Amar'e Stoudemire the ball in places where they could be at least somewhat effective. Indeed, it did seem like Toney was getting into the paint more frequently and with a greater head of steam than we've seen from him previously.

- Knickerblogger's Jimothy Cavanimal writes on the Knicks' home court advantage, which has been...not so advantageous over at something called the "New York Times".

- Jared Dubin, over at About.com, makes the resounding case that Iman Shumpert, while talented and useful, is a point guard. Wait, I mean he's NOT a point guard. Definitely not.

- These tweets by Newsday's Anthony Rieber are worth a look:

Reporter asked D'Antoni if he was worried about job status. D'Antoni asked reporter if he was worried about job status. Reporter said yes.

Then D'Antoni said: "Welcome to the club. It’s tough out there."

- Finally, remember those wonderful name pronunciation videos? Well, David Roth spoke to the guy who makes them (and has some examples in case you don't know what I'm talking about).

I think every Knicks fan will give Baron Davis's show its due diligence

if he saves our season.

At this rate, we could be out of playoff contention by the time he gets back.

Wasn't the ankle always the major obstacle?

I dream of Eddy Curry feeding me fish sticks.

Look at it Dave. Look at it.

Wasn’t it the wrist at some point?

that's what I remember it being

along with like..the back? I dunno. Ankle too though for sure, but mainly the wrist

by BJabs on Jan 30, 2012 9:02 PM EST up reply actions

it was his wrist that made his jumpshot nonexistant

by DonMoosavi on Jan 30, 2012 9:04 PM EST up reply actions

I think his wrists were painful, and not conducive to shooting, but still manageable.

I thought if anything it was always the ankle that was bothering him. It’s funny how he had both wrists and an ankle hurt simultaneously at one point.

Thought it was his left wrist,

right ankle, and right thumb. Assuming he reads this, that’s what I’m telling him to rest, in that order.

The ankle bone's connected to the, wrist bone

Those pronunciation videos are the shit

Hard to pick a favorite. I think mine is the departed-but-not-forgotten Shanee Will-i-ams. Shanee, Will-i-ams.

Well, Mozgov won't be on anymore posters as Blake's prison bitch. Mozzie should send Kendrick Perkins a Russian fruit cake and a box of Stolichnaya.

Don't look now but we are a Lottery Team

I knew BD

came here for other reasons……

My Wife is a Patriot's fan...
"Giants rely on fumbles and stripping the ball. If the pats secure the ball, then the pats win, but if they fumble or let the ball get striped than the giants win. every game the giants play they always benefit from the other teams bonehead mistakes (fumbled or striped) not from thier skills. The giants are a dirty team, I can’t think of any othe team as dirty as the giants. They try to strip the ball as hard as they can because they know they can’t win a fair game." by EaglesNeedD on Jan 23, 2012 2:01 AM EST
