Basketball

[Dave Cooper please]

Now I'm not a big basketball fan but that was good.

[The Situation]

Sooooo, St Johns beat a top 10 team again, Cavs lose to John Wall's Wizards then beat Lakers, Carmelo is going to the Nets and the Dunk Contest was rigged.

Guess the all-star game score? 153-148 to the East... as high-scoring and no defending as ever.

A mate of mine is a Syracuse alum. Therefore, one of the few NBA players whose career I've followed is Carmelo Anthony.

It appears that he's got his wish and will be traded from Denver to New York.

If the Knicks can now obtain Chris Paul and maybe even Dwight Howard, they'll have a lineup that'll be able to contend with Miami and Boston

[The Situation]

The Carmelo Anthony Trade Show Part 563 is now over folks. Finally we can stop hearing ESPN say "Carmelo Anthony is going to sign for *insert random team here*.

Melo is a very good player though. I imagine Stoudemire will be doing more of the defensive work now, but I can't believe the Knicks have traded two really solid players who've done well for the Knicks this season. Felton and Gallinari have done really well, interesting to see how quickly this team can 're-form' and gel.

P.S. March Madness is on the horizon. So excited.

I'm looking forward to see if "The Jimmer" can produce in the tournament at the same level that he has in the regular season.

I have been away, but now I am back and let me say two things...

1) I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS CARMELO TRADE!!!

It actually makes me mad when I hear other knicks fans say they gave up too much.

2) On Tuesday, my boy Jameer Nelson and the Magic beat the knicks, which is bittersweet, because I always want Jameer to play well, but it's a dilema when he plays the knicks.   
But what did Jameer's game show us in comparison to Chris Paul's game the next night?
From WAAAAAAAY back in the ncaa tourney when st. joes beat up wake forrest, Jameer Nelson has been outplaying Chris Paul on every stage of thegame.  He doesn't have the marketing, or the hype, but he is the better PG.  Period.
And he is a good person with a nice family (maybe CP3 is too, but I don't know), it is about time he gets some credit.  (yeah I realize he has been an all-star etc, but he is never thought of in the same sentence as CP3)

[pmarachi]

So one thing that has been annoying.

I was looking for a knicks jersey.  Not that I walk around in sleeveless shirts, but to wear to the beach and for the 105 degree days (That's with the F, not the C).

Anyway, I can't find a single one.

I live 20 minutes out of NYC and all I can find is a celtics, heat or lakers jersey.

It is kind of annoying.

Tough loss. That was a crazy ending.
Oh well, there is always next year.

I am expecting Arizona to get bounced by Texas in the next round.

[pmarachi]

I am only bringing this up to say that even if the KNICKS lose to the celtics in 4 straight, I have to say that I am very proud of how well they have played the first two games.
