Game Thread: Knicks vs. Blazers- 3-8-08

by Seth on Mar 8, 2008 3:50 PM EST in Game Threads

I'll be heading into the city shortly to attend what might go down as one of the most emotional moments in sport history. Tonight, at last, Channing Frye makes his return to New York. Our hero- he of the patchy peach-fuzz, slimy mouthguard, and streaky midrange jumper- will grace the Garden floor once again. How will the Knick faithful receive their lost warrior? I expect something reminiscent of KG's reception in Minnesota, only with more fireworks and dragons. Channing will likely stride to center court, open his arms to the loving crowd, and bathe in a standing ovation that shakes the island of Manhattan. I am truly lucky to have a ticket.

Yeah, so the Knicks are hosting the Blazers tonight and I'll be there. I'll recap tomorrow, but in the meantime, I'm trying out something a little different. SB Nation has a little demo deal with Microsoft, and I'm gonna test some "mobile post" technology tonight. Basically, I can phone in a post from the Garden (probably as soon as the game ends), and put it up on P&T. That should be posted late tonight, with a recap coming in the morning. I'm just giving it a try, so don't fret if it's not your cup of tea. In some countries, they'd pay good money to hear my melodious voice.

Make sure to check out SB Nation's lush garden of Portlandic passion, Blazers Edge, for the opponent's perspective. Get them W's.

Frye

Ima be cheering the hell out of him. Even tho his 2nd season didn't go as well as we wanted him to, I still really like him and want him to do well.

And I'd much rather have him than Zach Randolph at the moment.

By the way, here a link to his blog. Very fun stuff there, I particularly enjoy his use of the word "lol".

Have fun at the game Seth.

Yes, they deserve to die, and I hope they burn in hell!

fun fact

from Isola's blog:
if the knicks lose tonight, isiah thomas will be 22-60 (if your're doing the math at home that's 82 games = one full season) since his contract extension last march.

that will be one game worse than the 23-59 mark turned in by he-who-must-not-be-named.

Knicks Problems

Seth-

I think they should trade david lee and carl crawford for ricky davis and larry hughes. Think about it, they need the leadership, and they need someone like ricky to bring in the fans with his athleticism and promotion of good team chemistry. Thoughts?

thanks-

i dont know

i really like carl crawford in left. plus his speed on the basepaths is a major plus.

but in all seriousness (since im sure you meant JAMAL crawford), im guessing that trade was a joke? bring in ricky davis because of the "promotion of team chemistry" - you can't be serious...

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!
