Via FanHouse:
For the second straight year, the league will feature five games during its major Christmas Day showcase. ESPN will broadcast Heat-Knicks (what?), Clippers-Suns (ummm…) and Nuggets-Blazers. ABC will give us Celtics-Magic and Cavaliers-Lakers. Three great games, and two … um, two other games.

After the Knicks gave up 142 points to the Warriors, I officially gave up on Mike D’Antoni’s players-like-me-so-much-because-this-is-an-extension-of-AAU style.
It was Marbury-esque to use the third-person in the title of this post, but now I’m going to take it a step further and quote myself:

Mike D’Antoni arrived in NY and sold his SSOL philosophy to the [...]

Spike Lee and Kobe Bryant are boys. They’re tight. You know, I heard after a few beers Spike even lets Kobe drop a few n-bombs. And at this point, it’s evident that Spike is just flat out recruiting. They’re making movies together, giving each other in-game DAP, and now this, Spike’s new commercial for NBA [...]

Al Harrington’s home/road splits for boneheaded techs vs. the Clippers are surprisingly consistent.

Awhile back, I wrote a post on the Knicks’ total refusal to play defense.

Last night, both squads broke out their “ghost man” defense, causing Mike Breen to try and wiggle out of his contract for the 483rd time in the last five years.
Watch:

Back in January, Danilo Gallinari kindly asked the marketing freaks at MSG to stop shoehorning him into a Pinocchio-like character.
Matched up against the Bulls, Gallo was stampeded by classic Goomba stereotypes.
After each of his four baskets, the Knicks’ long-time public address announcer Mike Walczewski, using a thick Italian accent, said “Daneeelo Gal-lin-ar-ay” and then the [...]

Via the New York Post:
Stephon Marbury and the Knicks reached an agreement today on a buyout settlement during an arbitration hearing over the point guard’s $400,000 fine, according to an NBA source.
Marbury is expected to be waived as soon as tonight after meeting with team president Donnie Walsh today at a Midtown law firm.
Marbury [...]

As Wilson Chandler finished around the rim, Clyde, in the rarest of moments, suffered to grasp a quirky word from his Webster-sized brain to describe what he’d just seen.
Well, let’s just say this won’t happen ever AGAIN.
You can thank me later, Clyde.

As your marquee source on the development of Italian wonder boy Danilo Gallinari, I present you with my most recent findings.
I’m just going to lay it out there: Gallo has absolutely zero court awareness.
Don’t believe me?
Roll tape . . .

If you are Kobe, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with pulling up on a 5 vs. 2 [...]
