It was sad and ugly, and I only watched 2 1/2 quarters of it, but I do have some notes on last night's loss to the Bobcats. Dig:
- John Andariese was filling in for Clyde. Other than the fact that he never really seems to be paying much attention, I have no complaints.
- The first 8 Bobcat points came from 3 dunks and an uncontested layup. That did not bode well.
- For someone who's been ice-cold all season, Quentin Richardson does not have much of a conscience from downtown.
- Nazr Mohammed sighting! I liked him. And now he's on my fantasy team.
- Do you think Matt Carroll's eyebrows are stuck that way? Or is he just a really skeptical person?
- Nate should always attack the basket. Always.
- It's weird to see David Lee faltering a little. He had another one of those games in which his staple plays weren't working. He coughed up a few power dribbles, botched a few spin moves, and even shanked a dunk.
- You know how kangaroos can't actually walk, but can only hop from place to place? The same goes for Ryan Hollins.
- At one point, Andariese chimed in with, "You get a hand up in a guy's face, there's a good chance he'll miss it". At first I was all like, "excellent point, Johnny Obvious. Thanks for that." But then I realized that most Knicks don't appear to grasp that fact.
- At one point, right before I turned off the TV, Q got benched and some words for anyone in earshot (I'm pretty sure I saw "Fuck that!"). Isiah sprung into action so abruptly that Herb Williams felt it necessary to get in between them. It ended up being nothing more than a heated conversation, but we nearly saw an intra-bench bench-clearing brawl.
- At 7'0'' and 135 pounds, Ryan Hollins has no business keeping Eddy Curry out of the paint.
