@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac: Agreed. As a fan of the NBA, I can't even bring myself to pick up the Donaghy book. It's like when you're old enough to realize professional wrestling isn't real but enjoy it so much that you play along.
@Crucifictorius: This is an interesting piece on tickets. [www.theknicksblog.com]

Also: Tiqiq is a pretty good site as a search hub to find good prices, which are increasing pretty quickly with interest so, it'd be a good idea to snap them up now. Per usual, games with LA/Miami/Boston and the sort are going to be through the roof.
@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac: I will be one of the last to defend NBA reffing, but until one refs a game, it is difficult to understand how difficult it is to call a basketball game.

The speed and size of these players make viewing angles and time frames even more difficult. A lot of the calls made are in anticipation of contact, or how a player reacts to a call. It's easy to watch replay and say "Oh that certainly was not a foul", but it's revisionist.

To hope for 100 or even 95% accuracy with the speed of the game is delusional. Now if that Amar'e three had counted, we could start talking Donaghy.
@Starburied: Even worse. Even when things are good, this shit still hurts.
God damn it. Whoever did it should have stabbed Pierce twelve times. Cannot stand him at all.
@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: Let's hope so at this juncture. Painful if the Knicks lose this one. Feels weird to even admit that.
Simmons live chat has reached an insufferable level. Even more than thought possible.
ESPN sure got lucky tonight. This has been the best game all season.
@AirBratz23: Rebuilding indicates something was there in the first place, no?
@SirTruthington: Depends on your definition of "matter". Does it matter that this team is on its best streak in fifteen years? Does it matter that they can contend and perhaps even beat one of the best teams in the NBA?

David Stern nods in approval.
@SirTruthington: Hope so. He'll be included in any trade and if Melo shows up in the summer via free agency, he gets stuck behind him and it will probably greatly hinder his development. I wish he rebounded better and/or passed at all because then he could share the floor, but it's tough to win in May/June with two of the exact same players on court at the same time...even in D'Antoniball.
It's sad that no matter how Melo gets to New York, Wilson Chandler will leave. Unheralded talent, which is amazing considering the market.
@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: Listen, we don't know how to cheer for success yet. It's a long transition from sitting three rows deep with pikes that have been sharpened for half the franchise's heads.
"Fatty maschil, Parole femine."
With as many blistering incompletions as McNabb throws into the ground and the rising cost of turf aerators, 17 million a year is a hell of a deal.
Of course Lebron is a local expert on quitting, he's the only person to be gainfully employed in Cleveland since 2003.
Bulls Do Something NBA Teams Shouldn't Be Able To Do, Lose To Knicks
The most appropriate thing to do would have been to unapologetically scalp these tickets.
Bellamy was simply mistaken and showed up to the baseball game in an Indian Givers jersey.
