As long as the Knicks keep making money the owners don't have to care about how well the team's actually doing. Although I'm not exactly sure how overpaying guys like Jerome James and Eddy Curry factor into the profit margins.

You are correct about everything except eddy curry. He is NOT overpaid. He is one of the last legit back to the basket centers in the nba today. His skills aren't found in many other players or teams. He deserves the money he is making. If he could just get his rebounding going (which it is getting better) he would trully be dominant. I felt he could have been an all star last season with averages of 19ppg and 7 rebounds. Not overpaid my friend. Let me tell you I was pissed as hell about pax dealing him and then everything turning out fine. Do you have any idea how unstopable the bulls would be with eddy at center right now??? hah. The east would be won for sure. Just imagine with our shooters/perimeter/slashers and a low post center in curry to go inside out. Fucking deadly. Let me tell you about overpaid- ben fucking gordon asking for 14 mil a year. Fuck you ben that is all I can say. Thank fucking god pax did not give him that. inconsistent and shooting 34 percent this year. NO thanks.

That is the thing here. The Knicks ain't making money at all, I don't think. When you no longer sellout every home game, not making the playoffs at all, and not even on national tv schedule regularly anymore; with a 90 plus million dollars payroll (and having to pay for luxury taxes), HOW do you make money? If anything at all, James Dolan only keeps pumping money in the Knicks like it is nobody's business. I sincerely hate that kind of owner in pro sports.

BTW, Phil Jackson has agreed to a 2-year extension. So I guess two things can pretty much be put to rest, at least for now.

A) Kobe would be traded this season. He could still be traded in the summer of 2008, but I don't see him being traded this season now with Jackson's extension. Hell, if I read things correctly, maaaaybe privately things have been settled between all parties.

B) Jackson won't be coaching the Knicks... likely ever!

Just got back from the Rockets-Warriors game about an hour ago and I am pissed. T-Mac was pretty much a non-factor throughout the game, as was Yao. I honestly thought Steve Francis was the best Rocket on the court aside from the fact that he fouled out. A sad, sad day. I'll upload pics later, right now I have to write an essay.

Man, the Knicks are beyond just a joke! Firing Thomas won't solve the problem. I'd say keep him until the end of the season... guys like him needs to be mentally tortured by being forced to stay on the job.

Yo, Derek, don't blame the Rockets, they are NEVER a consistant team, you should know better. Why not praise the Warriors? After a bad 0-6, they went 8-1 since. I know I know, the only real quality team they beat during that time was the Suns. Still, you do not win that many games in the L by luck.

[ibzrg1570]

Yea I know the Rockets are incredibly inconsistent. I was even expecting them to lose. I'm just pissed that they lost by so much. I was hoping for a game that was competitive throughout all 4 quarters, especially since I don't know when I'll have a chance to see them again. I don't hate the Warriors, I admit they're a well-knit team that's made a very nice turnaround from the start of the season. The fans at Oracle Arena were so intense though, they were having so much fun. I was extremely jealous of my friend that I went with.

Ok, since I'm not making progress on my essay I might as well upload the pics now. I took a lot more, but I think this is enough. Most of them didn't come out great because I was shooting with a P&S from the top level.

I happened to go by the game on tv and was like It was like 75-30 something

Man, things sucked ass here in Hong Kong this morning. Of all the games tonight (7 games), my cable carrier decided to show the 76ers @ Nets.

I didn't even bother to watch the first half, and I wasn't even paying much attention to the second half when I finally turned my tv on either. Man, what a boring game that was. The Sixers didn't know how to close out the Nets after being up by 18 pts, and the Nets didn't seem like they were interested in winning it either... man oh man, all I can say is, what a boring game!!! That's all, end of venting...

Yeah both those team suck. I often wonder why jason kidd wants to let his career end so crappy. He can still play, he should be asking for a trade to a
contender. The nets aren't going anywhere and won't be winning a tittle in the duration of kidd's career with or without him. Can you imagine him with lebron james or kobe bryant??? Can you say championship? Jefferson is nice but he works much better as a second option, and carter is just fucking lazy. Jason do yourself a favor and opt out, demand a trade, something buddy. Please.
