I'm almost willing to bet money that Isiah trades J. Rose and/or Taylor for somebody else with years on their bad contracts because he constantly gives away expiring deals to "acquire assets". Like you said, all the Knicks need to do is STAY PUT, let the shitty deals come off of the books over time and swallow hard for the next 2 years where they'll be lucky to win 50 games total. I just don't see the Dolans & Isiah doing that now, especially because they saw reasons to add Jalen and Francis last year when they clearly weren't going to help the franchise in any way.

He wasn't hurt. He wasn't injured. He fell down, overreacted like a bitch, and his boo boo was remedied with a quick tape job. Getting shot, and landing awkwardly are really the same thing. I mean next time someone gets shot, just throw some tape on it and send them on their merry way. It was just as much of a pussy response to an ankle tweak as Tyson Chandler's was. Admitting pain is one thing, writhing around on the floor is something else. Despite Marion's floundering around on the ground, the Suns deserved to win this one because yet again the LA team abandoned the game plan. Mobley took too many shots down the stretch, and they didn't foul Bell out. Having said that, all that mileage on Nash's legs is going to cost him mightily if the Mavs finish San Antonio tomorrow night.

Considering he re-entered the game about 30 seconds later, I think it's safe to say he was just acting like a bitch. Entering tonight Thomas was averaging 15.3 & 7.5, on .492 FG shooting, .410 3P shooting and that little thing you might refer to as a season saving 3 in LA. Tonight he had 25 & 6 on 10/17 and was 5/8 from 3. This is TIM THOMAS we're talking about. Tim Thomas

He got a boo boo. Marion joins Tyson Chandler as the biggest overreacters to an ankle sprain in the postseason. The Clips have blown this one, and I'm now convinced that Phoenix has made a deal with the devil. TIM THOMAS has been one of the 3 or 4 best players in the playoffs. Think about it.

They need to get Bell his 6th foul.

E.T. for the 'W'. Brand got held, no call. I'm stunned.

Nice boneheaded plays by Cassell and Tim Thomas there.

Bell is an All-NBA 1st team flopper. I just can't believe EVERY team of officials continue to fall for the same moves at least 4 times per game. Brand just choked the season away. Dookies can't get it done in the clutch.

Pujols just busted his ass slipping on the on deck circle trying to catch a foul pop. That reminded me of when I fell and fractured my skull as a 3 year old kid. Ugh. He's OK though.

My bad. The Mets game is back on now after an hour and 41 minute rain delay. I predict Pujols will win it for the Cards just to spite me.

I'd rather watch the U.S. Paintball Championships than hockey, and I'm sure the ratings are probably pretty close considering even ESPN didn't want to touch hockey and they'll show fucking Scrabble tournaments, spelling bees and double dutch competitions.

I didn't realize I got "worked up" over that game. I don't get "worked up" over any game because I have no impact on them. If you meant that I'm a jealous hater because I wish the Mets had millions of poser fans who claim they are "lifelong fans" but can't name 5 starters on the CURRENT Yankees team, nor have they ever been to Yankee Stadium to watch a game, then yeah I'm really fucking jealous. I mean, I'd love to have an organization with at least 70% bandwagon fans who were Mets fans back in the '80s, or only like the team because Derek Jeter is SOOOOOOOO CUTE!, and would be Mets "fans" if they won a couple of championships (which admittedly won't ever happen). Sign me up! Seriously, it's asinine comments like yours that make me root against the Yankees because all of their fans are spoiled, and feel just as entitled as you do. At least the Cubs fan suffers for his love and I can respect that.

If you are a Mets fan why are you so concerned about what the Yankees to do when they are playing teams other than the one you root for? Jesus you are worse than most Red Sox fans. Because I hate the Yankees and their fans, and the Mets were (and are still) in a rain delay.

The Mets need to learn how to work the rain out. They couldn't stall long enough to avoid an official game in a Steve Trachsel start against Philly, and tonight all they needed to do was make a quick out, and get 3 outs before the heavens erupted to beat the Cards. Instead they tried to tack on runs, leading to what will likely end up being a suspended game where they'll have to get 9 outs to close the deal, and Pujols will get at least 1 AB in that scenario whereas he would have been the 5th man to bat in the bottom of the 7th. Again, I blame Willie Randolph.

Fuck you Otsuka. Fuck you twice Posada.

The dude's name is Brian Kenny. Why are you two bragging about pimping someone whose name you can't spell?

How do you give up 9 runs to THIS Yankees team? That's ridiculous.

Chacon and his slanted cap are getting ROCKED. 6-0 Top 2. Small comes in and gives up a 3 run shot to Blalock. 9-0. 8 ER in 1.1 IP will destroy your ERA. Melky Cabrera plays the deepest LF I've ever seen at Yankee Stadium.

Exactly, America doesn't decide who wins without Simon's blessing. Everyone and their mother knew Clay was a better talent than Ruben, but the AI producers deemed otherwise because they knew Clay could easily have a career outside of the show and they could get money from two stars instead of one. I wouldn't be shocked to see Taylor do the J-O-B because he'll be successful with or without the AI crown, just like Chris. Katharine will be a dud because she's not as good as Clarkson or Underwood, and she'll be compared to them at every turn. At least with Elliott he can't do any worse than Ruben, and I can't see Taylor singing an "AI" style record. It would basically take everything good and unique about him away, and if you're gonna do that, just let Elliott win and complete the underdog storyline.

The producers need to pull the executive decision to bench Kat. If she makes the final we already know that whoever her opponent is is going to win. At least with an Elliott/Taylor finale, there will be some drama.

That's what makes these moves so frustrating. We won 23 fucking games last year with a $100+ million payroll, when we could just as easily have won 23 games with a bunch of guys like Sweetney, the draft picks we gave up and the guys like Frye, Lee & Robinson. Rebuilding takes about 4 or 5 years, imploding the team and taking on every shitty contract in the NBA is going to cost us at least a decade or more to recover from.

The Knicks still make at least $1 profit by continuing to raise ticket prices and/or the prices of luxury suites. As long as that's the case it doesn't matter to the Dolans whether the Knicks win 59 games a year or lose 59 games a year.

If the Knicks gave up a first round pick in 08 to do this, they'd practically be trading 3 top 5 picks for 2 players, one of which sucks. Which is why it'll probably happen. If they were trying to get Hinrich, an actual PG to play the point I could live with it, but no, let's get another undersized, shoot too much 2 guard who can't play 'D' to save his life. We need to corner the market on those players. It's reached the point where the favorite team of my youth has almost completely turned me off to the entire sport because there's absolutely no hope this will get any better unless all of the Dolans die in a plane crash or something of that nature. When firing Layden turns out to have been a mistake, you know there's just nothing positive going on.

I'd much rather see Dallas/Miami because Nowitzki would become a huge star if he beat Shaq & Wade, or Wade would win his first title, but I'd settle for Dallas/Detroit.

I don't know that they have pitching prospectS, and they're reluctant to give up Wang or Cano so the Yankees could be in some serious trouble. At this point they'll have to either deplete the farm system entirely AND give up a piece like Chacon or Small just to get an adequate player, or give up a starting pitcher or everyday player just to get one back.
