Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: Can Jordan lure LeBron to Bobcats?

Let me also add, who knows what the Nets move to Bklyn, would do to their standing in NYC. JZ, Lebron connection maybe.

When the Nets went to the championship series with Kidd, they were still not seen as #1 in the Metropolitan area. After the Holtzman years we had the Ewing Riley years, things happened after '73. Yes we suck now, but not as long as Cleveland did and look at them now. I bet if we had Lebron we would not be worried as they are.

OK, I will rephrase it for you guys. Iverson's loss in the title series was not due to what he did or did not do but to fact that the center position of Philly could not compete with Shaq. I am not an Iverson fan, but give him his due.

s/b has to be used

He was so effective offensively when he was younger, it made up for his deficiencies on defense. He is now older and has to used differently, he just refuses to accept it.

Are you asking Knick fans to only pay attention to the current NBA season??

s/b how much time will they have?

Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: Joe Johnson to Bulls, Knicks?

For a FA to be successful in NY his game has to be strong enough to make the other players on the team better. Can Johnson do this, and with what players?. Yes we can build around him, but much time will they have?

There different levels of "if", some are more credible than others. For instance there is no if the Knicks sign a good player next year we will challenge for the title.

Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: McDaniels takes jab at NFL Network

If you watch Giant games you would have seen Eli lead winning drives in the last minutes(Super Bowl anyone). He has done this a number of times(I am not denying his warts), but how many times did you see Dilfer do this?

With all his faults, if they had an answer for Shaq, they may have won a title. This happens, the Mailman never got by LA Showtime or Jordan for his.

Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: Joe Johnson to Bulls, Knicks?

Yes, there is the money. If the team keeps losing and his game slips any(double , triple teams), he better have a thick skin.

Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: McDaniels takes jab at NFL Network

How can you compare Eli to Dilfer. Dilfer's only asset was he was not going to lose the game for you, but he was not going to win the game for you either. Considering the issues Minny had(till Brett) and Washington has at QB, I will stay with Eli, thank you. You probably want to bring Dave Brown out of retirement.

Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: Joe Johnson to Bulls, Knicks?

He is on one of the better teams in the eastern div and he wants to come to the Knicks? I am a Knick fan and I am puzzled. Yes, he would be a good addition for us, but we would still need a lot more.

Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: Iverson having change of heart

So after seeing the reaction, he is willing to come off the bench for a good team? Or does he think some team will make him the man again.

Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: Giants DE takes it out on teammates

I am watching these commercials about depression on TV, then I see the Giants.

Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: McDaniels takes jab at NFL Network

In the article, the director mentions that with the technology they can pick up a lot without miking people. They can hear the QB without miking him and the coach on the sidelines. They claimed this(curse) just slipped by.

To quote Popeye "I am what I am and that's all that I am". Good luck to him, let's hope we don't here anything Sprewell type news in the future.

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Artest: Free agents 'scared' to play in NY

Is that a good or bad thing? Let us hope the make the correct choices and we get a team that can play together. Where will the new players come from? Draft, FA, or trades?

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Nugget: Ratner to blame for Nets woes

Based on the amount of games K-Mart played since he left, they may have made the right decision on him. Them staying cheap was not a good decision for the Nets.

Walsh and D'Antonio are going to have to be mentally tough to survive this cap cleaning year.
