The NBA is completely bonkers right now. With less than two weeks until season’s tip-off, players are being flipped faster than flapjacks at IHOP. Chris Paul has been perfecting his start-and-stop from the comfort of his living room. Dwight Howard can't seem to decipher his own feelings about the Magic. Lamar Odom, as collateral from the Paul fall-out, whined his way to the Mavs, who were spurned earlier in the week by Tyson Chandler (Knicks). Chauncey Billups took his frequent flier miles to the Clips (though he could be dealt again by the time I finish this sentence) and Big Baby was swapped for Brandon Bass.

I'm not sure if the New York Knicks have all the pieces in place right now, but by adding Carmelo Anthony they are certainly one big step closer to being a NBA championship contender. Although considering the mismanagement over the last 10 years it's heard to believe they won't mess this up too.

Say Swine Flu keeps spreading. Say it gets worse, like "Outbreak" worse, and the majority of people in the US get it, including LeBron James. I still don't think I could beat him one-on-one. Even if it was first to score. Or if we played "PIG." Remember when Jordan had the flu in the '88 playoffs, and he dropped 47 against the Knicks, AT the Garden??? We spectators/bloggers/sports fans seriously over-estimate the flu. If LeBron had swine flu, not only would he stuff me like a Quizno's Torpedo, he would still be able to beat the following athletes/teams:

Wild Cards
David Lee, Forward, New York Knicks (15.5, 11.4, 2) – Lee may be a long shot to earn a trip to Phoenix, but in the circus that is Knicks basketball, Lee’s production makes him too good to trade and has New York one game out of the eighth spot in the East. His .569 field goal percentage is sixth best among those who have played 40 or more games, and his 32 double-doubles are good enough for second most in the NBA, leaving him just one behind double-double machine Dwight Howard.

The Kobes and the LeBrons, excuse me, I mean, the Lakers and the Cavs met for the first time this season a week ago today in Los Angeles, and while the home team won by 17 in an uneventful game where James matched his number in points and Bryant’s 20 weren’t even a team-high, it did give basketball’s so-called pundits another opportunity to debate who’s better: Kobe or LeBron.

Despite a tough 116-110 loss in Philadelphia tonight, the New York Knicks are playing surprisingly well under their new head coach, Mike D'Antoni. The Knicks had won three in a row prior to this evening's contest, including an impressive victory over D'Antoni's old team, the immensely-talented Phoenix Suns.

Following the trades that sent Jamal Crawford and Zach Randolph packing, for a short while, the Knicks seemed like they'd be able to survive the core-shaking changes to their roster. Al Harrington came to New York with something to prove, and he blazed through a hot streak of games about a week after joining the club.

With the MLB playoffs set to begin, there is a subtle difference in the air compared to start of any other postseason. In the NHL, fans can potentially look forward to a great Canadians/Bruins series that is not only exciting, but has a historical kick to it. Likewise basketball fans always have the chance to see if the Suns can finally get past the Spurs and football fans love seeing the rivalry of the Eagles Vs the City of Philadelphia when the Eagles so much as get tackled for a loss.

Did you miss me? Sorry for the extended hiatus once again, but I was busy being cooped up in a metal box for days on end, plus I had to go ahead and lose all of my money to various undeserving casinos and their patrons, so I've had no time to reflect on the world of sports. Many of you are probably expecting to read (or at least skim) some bitter, semi incoherent rambling post about Tom Brady's left knee and the dirty Chiefs and the especially classless fans of the NFL who actually had the gall to celebrate and commemorate a horrific injury to the league's best player, but I've gotta leave something for Simmons to do, so that will not be a part of my post today. Instead, I'm going to hide from my problems inside the twisted world of the NBA, where my beloved Boston Celtics are still champions, and my mistresses, the Portland Trailblazers are looking better than ever and are brimming with talent and potential.

Jon Lester can add this to all of the accolades he has already achieved: he is a definitive stopper on the Boston Red Sox. He has overcome Cancer, won the deciding game of the World Series, pitched a no-hitter and, oh yeah, is right now the most effective starting pitcher the Red Sox have.

layers. Now, where to start? I suppose the most appropriate place to begin would be the New York Knicks, since they had such a bad year this year and have so many players that prove me soooooo very right about David Stern's ridiculous hypothesis.

That was epic, though I must say nowhere close to Willis Reed's miracle ressurection for the New York Knicks in game seven of the 1970 NBA Finals. The effect of Pierce's return was similar, but you just can't compare his miraculous return to Reed's game seven heroics.

hat this has been the case.
Tonight, the Celtics square off against their bizarro alter-egos, the New York Knicks. The Knicks represent everything that is wrong with professional basketball, from the owner on down to the end of their pathetic bench, seeming to suffer from a terminal case of every kind of clubhouse cancer or disease (insert Marbury/Isiah joke here) imaginable. The Celtics built their reputation this season by playing hard for the entire game and having unmatched intensity and focus on the court. The Knicks, on the other hand, mail it in almost every night without shame or remorse. The Knicks don't hustle, they don't pass, they don't play defense, and they don't play as a team. Despite one of the NBA's highest payrolls, the Knicks have stumbled to a disappointing total of 23 wins this season. They're not up to the losing standards of the 14 win Miami Heat, but they may actually be more disappointing than the scrubs of South Beach.
