Holy cow! 3 game win streak. Are the Knicks actually turning this season around? My brain says “Be careful, you’ve been down this road before.” But, my heart resoundingly exclaims, “We’re going to make a run for the playoffs!!!”
My favorite quote from the postgame press conference last night:
“David, he had a big block at the end,” D’Antoni said, adding with a chuckle, “I don’t think I’ve ever said that since I’ve been here.”
Amen, Mike D.
Even ESPN is jumping back on the Knicks bandwagon. There is this untold story on TrueHoop about the Knicks players bonding on the road during an unplanned search for a decent Thanksgiving dinner. Chris Duhon recounts that in his two years the team never did anything like this. Never?! Geesh.
And, this from Chris Sheridan, who sees the 8th playoff spot well within the realm of possibility with the rest of the East sputtering.
Finally, the Milwaukee Brandon Jennings have lost 7 of 8. The savior-that-wasn’t is coming back down to earth a bit, shooting dreadfully (under 35%) in 7 of his last 8 games. Seems opponents are figuring Jennings out a little bit.
Additionally, props to Joakim Noah for having the cajones to let shimmy shaking Lebron know that he’s being a bitch (according to Ric Bucher) for his lame antics. Seriously. Does it seem like Lebron’s head is swelling beyond repair? Does he really need to be doing these Al Harrington / Mark Jackson antics? Just seems like he’s all about putting on a show these days, and for me, his likability has been tanking.
