If the Answer is "The Knicks," The Question's Bound to Be Funny

In comments, gbaked asks:

What happened to you guys covering the knicks?

this had become my on of my fav blogs because you guys were one of the very few knick blogs out there... plus you talked mets. It was perfect...

There will be Knicks coverage during the season, you can bet on that. For one thing, the team has added the massively intriguing Zach Randolph to an already fascinating lineup of personalities and egos. It's basically an Abnormal Psych seminar up in this piece -- Starbury, Nate the Great, Easy Eddy, Renaldo the Savior, Uptown Jerome, Mardy the Goon, Jamal of the Smooth Stride and Well-Masked Inner Conflict, etc. The post-Brandy Q is a bit too bland for this group, and Allen Houston had nothing to add but veteran platitudes and a boatload of agent-devoted cell phone minutes, so we're kind of glad he bitched out earlier rather than later. All of which is to say that this is the most watchable group of balling humans east of Oakland. So, they will be watched.

For another thing, the winter's Isiah Watch is going to be the best Isiah Watch since last year's extravaganza. (i.e., When Will Isiah Washington Be Fired From Grey's Anatomy? Actually, that one was kind of weak. But anyway.) Simmons says he's gone before Kris Kringle makes his way down the chimneys of every nation but North Korea; I disagree. I think his bosses have another year of oblivious/stubborn/actively sabotaging intractability in them. You'll recall P.T. Barnum's famed maxim, "You'll never go broke betting on the idiocy of Jimmy Dolan." It applies.

So, yar. Consider the goings in the Garden monitored.
