And I have to play basketball. And by basketball I mean work in my office. And by play I mean be miserably hungover.

SHALOM, DAVID STERN!

As a Magic sympathizer, I'll take the Francis squad over this. Wasn't it only one season ago that Frye was being called the lone savior of the Knicks? I mean, I understand Francis is an asshole. God knows I witnessed it firsthand with bargain season tickets in his last season in Orlando. But how do you justify trading a contract like his for another asshole? The Knicks are fucked, plain and simple. There's no way Thomas deserves to be praised when he watched his lottery pick be wasted on Joakim tonight. It disgusts me that a man destroying a franchise (after he was fired for nearly destroying the Pacers) is given any kudos.

So, the nucleus is Starbury, Curry and Randolph. A dick, a kid (still) and an asshole. Id=s this a playoff team? Gimme the 76ers roster or even the Celts (assuming Allen has a half a year left in him somewhere). Not to mention the Nets (even with Vince).

I hate to put a Simmons spin on anything, but I'd have to imagine Stern is begging the media to give this guy a pardon. The fact is, as a Heat fan, I am disgusted by what the Knicks have become. How this guy makes more than minimum wage to clean the shitters at MSG is beyond me.

@Burnsy: There was a ton of Isiah praise tonight. I don't get it. He went from living joke to higher lottery pick to genius for getting Eddy Curry to try and drafting a non-schleb. He got Zach Randolph on the cheap after he essentially made himself an idiot.

Where is the genius coming from, I wonder?

This reminds me of a story, I was in a local Beef O'Brady's with some friends, and someone asked me about Terell Owens, and I commented, "I don't have a T.O. boner like everybody else does."

There were some kids at a table nearby, and a friend said, "Don't say 'boner.'" So I replied, "I'm sorry... 'erection'" (I made hand-quotes and everything). One of those kids laughed.

The moral of the story? There is no such thing as a "family sports bar."
