Mann-Mann

PrintI had a dream last night..... Seriously - I had a dream about the Knicks. It's gotten to this point.
In my dream, the Knicks signed or somehow acquired a guy named Mann-Mann to play point guard. I don't quite remember if there was a hyphen.. or it was just Mann Mann or maybe even MannMann. The 'M' in the second 'Mann' was capitalized - that much I remember.
Anyway, we were all very excited about it and as the rumors grew throughout the day there was much buzzing. Finally, at night, it was confirmed - the Knicks were acquiring Mann-Mann and placing Jeremy Lin on waivers.
It was assumed that Mann-Mann would be in the rotation immediately. I didn't see Mann-Mann's face in the dream, but somehow a certain food was associated with him - something savory, halfway between a cheeseburger with lots of grilled onions and a very large and dense quiche.
I don't really know how to feel about this, because I went to sleep thinking that the Knicks would have won that game last night with Lin playing Douglas' minutes and Douglas playing Bully's minutes.
But anyway, there you have it. This morning, I woke up thinking we had a point guard who played like a man, rather than one who played like a mouse. In fact, this mythical point guard played like two Manns.
Damn!
Amateur and professional dream analyzers out there, have at it!

I knew that would prick up your ears, Seth
And I agree, it’s the key point of the dream.
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
The savory dish (DISH! As in PASS for an ASSIST) has both eggs and onions, two foods which symbolically represent the testicles which are traditionally associated with courage and chutzpah, or as the goyum call it, moxie.

fuhry, you are a prophet
i read this last week when you posted and was hoping against hope with you that something would change. it’s a strange dream to have, or just proves your either way too tuned in or just right after the Lin theatrics. pretty amazing!

I think you were dreaming about Manning to Manningham.
to which I say word app.

Interesting
Manning looks like a meek little boy, but the ballsworthiness of the man is often notsomuch indicated on the outside.
Who, on the Knicks, carries the most Manninglike temprament?
Get The Frickin' Rebound
or at least his face does, definitely goofy looking
and Eli’s built like a brick shithouse. I’d say no one on the Knicks can remotely resemble Eli Manning. No one has his balls. No one has his talent and no one has his leadership, knowledge of the game and ability to make his teammates better.
To tell the truth, Gallinari reminds me a lot of Eli. As he settles more and more into his game, city and really just the US in general, he’s just got this all around world beating talent that shows itself at times and you can’t help but think it’ll be more consistent one day.
That, and Gallo is a completely doofey looking guy and is built like a tank.

yea, its the Knicks and they're terrible despite the "talent"
I think the best fit for them would be thinking about Vick to Maclin. There ya go.

makes sense.
manning-Great passer (PGs are generally good passers, no?).
Manningham-fast (Good Pgs are fast)

funny, cuz there kind of was a big play from Manning to Ham.

That's the kind of play champions have the guts to make
Rising to the moment. Lin showed some of that the other night. Hopefully he can keep it up.

Mann-Mann
Is that produced like Man or like the second part of Shumpert’s first name (see where I’m going with this?)
It’s obvious isn’t it? Mann-Mann is Shumpert (also I vote to make this his new knickname, at least on P&T)
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
Possibly, and I thought of that.
But Shump is already starting at point guard over TD.
Get The Frickin' Rebound
Ahh but therein lies the rub
Shump starts but he’s no point guard.
What if Mann-Mann is the metamorphed state of Iman Shumpert the POINT GUARD (not the guy pretending to be one)?
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
quiche can be very very good
but not too many people make it well. its a fickle frittata.
and a burger is easy to make, but its quality has much to do with the quality of the meat, and not scorching it, to let the juices really “pop” (as it were) in one’s grill (mouth). also one too many onions, and that burger might make you cry.

A good point guard makes people cry
Usually his opponents but sometimes his own teammates too.

In my dream, I was disappointed they let Lin got to sign Mann-Mann
Because I thought Lin could do the job. I’m not kidding.

Lin-Lin?
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
Did you predict Lin's game??
I will go to my grave believing that if the Knicks had picked up Earl Barron before the 2011 Playoffs, we would not have been swept by the Celtics.
Not specifically
But I did predict before this back to back to back that if the Knicks gave TD’s point guard minutes to Lin, they’d win 2 of 3. I didn’t expect him to score 25 but I did expect him to give them a better shot to win, just because of how bad Toney’s been at the point.
Get The Frickin' Rebound
And the reason why
is that, even in watching him play 3 on 3, blurry in the background, during a Knicks practice interview, you could tell that he was looking to set up his teammates for easy baskets, and that he had a clue how to do it.
Conversely, you could tell from watching Toney in games, within 30 seconds, that the guy was killing them.

This ish is blowing my mind dude....
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
