Game Notes: Sixers at Knicks
A few thoughts on a crappy game.
–The Knicks start out uncharacteristically all over the offensive glass.
–As the Knicks are about to re-enter after a timeout, Kelvin Cato gets in Eddy Curry’s ear about something game-related. Maybe Isiah is using him as his re-enforcer.
–Iverson is working really hard out there. He comes around a screen and catches the ball at the top of the wing, about to do something really exciting. Oh wait…
–Neither team is having any success guarding the other team’s big man.
–The Sixers go zone and get burned.
–After watching Andre Miller try and guard Stephon Marbury twice in the span of a month (once on the Nugs, once on the Sixers), it’s safe to say that he just can’t. Mo Cheeks, possibly trying to prove my point, immediately inserts Kevin Ollie into the game. Ollie begins applying a full court press on Steph.
–You’ve gotta love David Lee’s assist recognition: He lazily flails his left arm in the air, pointing in the general direction of the passer. This might rank in the NBA’s top 10 dorkiest idiosyncrasies, somewhere between Richard Jefferson’s voice and anything Chris Kaman does.
–Joe Smith wets a baseline jumper. Name one team besides the Nets that he could start for.
–Even though I remain adamant that the Knicks should trade him, Q stays hot.
–The Sixers suck.
–George Bush sucks.
–Why is it that 2-3 times a game Nate Robinson beats his man into the lane and tosses up a floater, as if he cannot see the 7 footer standing in his way?
–Eddy Curry gets called for a lazy foul. Ice Cube’s lyric, “I make dough, but don’t call me a dough boy,” immediately comes to mind for some reason. Call him dough boy, but call him a de-facto all-star, too. Maybe we can call him de-fact-dough?
–Worth noting: Philly lost to Detroit last night and traveled here. Meanwhile, the Knicks were at home either getting laid or eating cake.
–Bobby Jones enters. He used to pitch for the Mets. A very normal pitcher.
–Channing Frye; Cameron Frye; Channing Frye
–The Sixers are allergic to defense.
–Rodney Carney and Alan Henderson are combining to redefine invincibility.
–Jay Mohr, sitting courtside, plants a fat kiss on the lips of his plastic-breasted babe. A source, choosing to remain anonymous, “Look at Jay Mohr; someone punch that motherfu**er.”
The Knicks win easily despite having fun with turnovers. Though, against the Sixers, you can have fun with turnovers and still win easy. Remind me to stay away from the Sixers for the rest of the season. They might be the least interesting basketball team I’ve ever seen. And they suck too!

“The Knicks start out uncharacteristically all over the offensive glass.” The Knicks are tied for the second best offensive rebounding team in the league.

Nikki Cox peaked in “unhapilly ever after” but it was a hell of a peak.

I meant to go, but I had to film some stuff for ESPN Classic (at least that’s what they told me), and by the time I got home the game was already starting, and the score looked bad right from he jump. So I stayed home. Oh yeah, and I forgot to send the e-mail asking for a seat anyway.

By the way, Jake, it’s “I make a lot of dough, but don’t call me Doughboy.” Boyz N Tha Hood reference. What, too young for that one? Ha.

Sam Rubenstein says:
No Russ. I believe he is referencing Check yourself before you wreck yourself which referenced Boyz N Da Hood. So is this what you do? Correct people’s grammar/typos?

Dammit. I was saving that Cube lyric for when Eddy signs a new contract.

You mean “I got peas on my head, but don’t call me a pee-head?”

DPak, A good portion of their offensive rebounding prowess comes from when David Lee is on the floor. David Lee, and I’m not sure why, does not start. Hence the “uncharacteristic” nature of the Knicks “starting” out aggressive on the offensive boards. In fact, just for clarification’s sake, the Knick bench accounts for more than half of their offensive rebounding. Anyway, sorry for the confusion, homie.

Oh, so that’s Nikki Cox. Forgive for me a) not being a C list starfucker and b) not buying Maxim.

Is it a typo if the “wrong” lyric enters your mind?

Your right about the Sixers being the absolute snoozefest of the league right now. The one exciting player they got it the other AI. But it would appear that he’s not very good at basketball. He’s also one of those players who only seems to dunk on the break, never bangs one in someone’s grill. Annoying.

Andre Iguadala has no game. Just athleticism. I bet in his mind he’s been probably wondering when he’s gonna get a slam cover. Deluded fool. He seriously overrates himself. The closest he’ll ever get to a cover is with his finger and thumbs.
