Well that was fun.
Was able to go to the Knicks vs. Celtics game on Monday, MLK Jr. day. For a few years now I have gone to celebrate a great man’s birthday at the Garden. While there was actual effort put forth by the Knicks they still came up way short. Why can’t Nate start at the 1? He is our only real point guard aside from Mardy Collins, and he has been one of the few highlights of the team this year. Fred Jones started at the 2 and Crawford the 1. Was Rondo too much for Nate to handle or something??? It makes no sense. I will not be able to say this enough, but I hate Jared Jeffries. He is a waste of space. He threw a few passes to no one in-particular, missed an easy layup, and just kind of stood there most of the time. After one errant pass to Eddy Curry, who was wide open under the basket, Jeffries just stood there looking at Curry like it was his fault. Then Jeffries stuck his hand out for a “My Bad” high five, and Curry just ran right by it, and rightfully so. No one on Boston paid any attention to him on offense so why should Curry? There was also a Jerome James sighting. He came in with just over a minute left to play, and looked fantastic let me tell you. It is a sad state when the most heads up play for the Knicks was when Richardson goated Pierce into double technical fouls twice. Richardson traded verbal pleasantries with Paul Pierce, and both were tossed. By far the best play of the game for a Knick!
