The Knicks Nation Rejoices
God Bless America -- the birthplace of roundball. And baseball too.
Lovely basketball game between the Knicks and Voldemort University. The forces of evil were vanquished, but not without a bit of to-ing and fro-ing. Special kudos to Kenyon Martin. The one period of my life when I paid close attention to the NBA version of the Nets was in the early 2000s, when Martin and his good buddy Jason Kidd were part of the nucleus of a genuinely wonderful team. Twice to the finals they went and twice they came home empty-handed.
So good for Kenyon. In the absence of Rasheed Wallace he is providing defensive intensity and a certain I'm-not-sure-what. If he remains healthy, the Knicks become a favorite to win the whole thing.
You don't really believe that, do you?
I'm making myself believe it by repeating it over and over again. Like a mantra.
The way a certain segment of the population says guns don't kill people, people kill people?
Exactly. Except there's a grain of truth to the Knicks thing. The other one is hokum.
I mentioned the to-ing and fro-ing. Truth of the matter is, I turned the thing off halfway through the second quarter, thinking there was no way I was gonna sit by and watch the Knicks lose to the Celtics. A couple of hours later, once I realized that the coast was clear, I went back and enjoyed the second half.
