Knicks Undefeated
The New York Knickerbockers won their season opening game at Madison Square Garden last night. They defeated Dwayne Wade and the improving Miami Heat. The Clarion Content knows that this is likely going to be a long season for our beloved Knicks. We weren't a fan of the Mike D'Dantoni hire, nor the Danilo Gallinari pick. But for one night, all is well in the Garden.
Why D'Antoni wouldn't even let self-interested team killers and shirkers Stephon Marbury and Eddie Curry off of the bench. Hooray!
Three other quick NBA notes: one from the Knicks game, how about Heat rookie, Michael Beasly, a selfish, score first, cancer if we've ever seen one, who isn't fit to be compared to Alex English, let alone Dominique Wilkins managed a measly 9 points and 4 boards. He was outscored and outrebounded by rookie point guard Mario Chalmers!
Two: Can anyone believe Greg Oden? One game and he is out two to four weeks with a foot sprain? There is no way to avoid the Sam Bowie comparisons now.
Three: Isaiah Thomas. Whoa. Let us take pause and recognize that this is the world of sport. We wanted Isaiah out of the Knicks hierarchy as much as anyone, but let us hope the man is not so despondent as to hurt himself or anyone else. This is a trainwreck we have advance notice of, someone had better make sure the man is getting counseling. We hope his former coach and mentor Bob Knight has reached out to Isaiah. The Clarion Content sends get well wishes to Isaiah the human being.
