Giving Thanks for .500

 

The first three wins during this five-game streak have come against clearly inferior teams. However, the last two wins over the Charlotte Bobcats and former coach, Larry Brown, have been satisfying.

Three the Hard Way II: Rise of the Sexual Predator

Before we discuss the New York Knicks' three-game win streak, we'd like to report a recent nationwide Amber Alert for this youngster:

His name is Timofey Mozgov. Born: July, 16 1986. Age: 25. Last seen: Los Angeles, California, United States. He answers to "Timmy," "Tina Fey," "Moz," "Drago" and "Boris." He loves basketball and is usually seen wearing a New York Knicks jersey, as they are his favorite team. Please call your local authorities if you see him.

We're also on the lookout for the man believed to be involved in his disappearance:

 

Footage from a recent attack has surfaced and gives reason to believe that Blake Griffin (above) may have absconded with little Timofey shortly after this weekend's contest between the Los Angeles Clippers and the missing child's beloved Knicks.

The Zombie Apocalypse is Upon Us

By now, we all know that Wilson Chandler inadvertently bit David Lee in the arm and lost a tooth in the process. However, Lee hasn't played a single game since then.

Hmmmm.

Same Old Knicks?

The above picture of Mike D'Antoni captures how we all feel. However, most of my frustration is with D'Antoni himself.

Three the Hard Way

Wilson Chandler's desperation heave from just behind the arc sailed long and off to the right, putting the kabash on a dramatic, inspired New York Knick comeback against the surging Golden State Warriors.

Ill Will's miss to end regulation was a mere microcosm of The Proud Ones' current three-game losing streak. During the comeback from 19 points down, it appeared as if the Knicks had realized that they need not depend on the long ball for survival--especially when, with the exception of Andris Biedrins, the Golden State Warriors have exactly zero players interested in interior defense. During their ascent, the Knicks had miraculously figured out how to attack the paint. As anyone who has ever played organized basketball knows, a few baskets dropping induces confidence--a critical aspect of making shots.

New York Knicks 112, Washington Wizards 91 Game Notes



Gilbert Subpoeans was watching the game live from Madison Square Garden at Section 313. Shoutouts to Eminem and everyone at 8 Mile. The Proud Franchise would also like to give a shoutout to my boys, Ben and Eric. They are season ticket holders who are very willing to sell tickets to your boy, so I can see the renaissance live and in person. Anytime I attend a game this year will probably be because of these two fine gentlemen, so I want to give them a TPF salute.

Now, on to the notes!
