In which I explored the history of the 13 men to wear #25 for the Knicks, including newest acquisition Derrick Rose, question where all our great American names have gone, and remember Dave Chappelle’s classic zen take on cucumbers versus pickles.

A Defense of Kurt Rambis’s Coaching Candidacy
In which I take the unpopular view that the current Knick interim coach, Clark Kent though he may appear, may not be the write-off candidate many have made him out to be. I also get to fit Star Wars and Indiana Jones into the piece, so mission accomplished, son.
Which areas of Kristaps Porzingis’s game need the most work?
“…when Alexander the Great saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.”
The Knicks’ stud rookie Kristaps Porzingis is pretty accomplished, too! But even he has room to improve, and thus I wrote about three aspects of his game he’s yet to conquer.

LA Clippers 116, Knicks 88

You’ve come a long way, baby

Knicks 120, Celtics 114
In which I recap the Knicks’ best win in a long time, quote Raiders of the Lost Ark and Ghostbusters, and accidentally prove the analogy Danny DeVito:Arnold Schwarzenegger::Carmelo Anthony:Kristaps Porzingis.

Recap: NY 100, MIL 88
In which I recap the Knicks continued winning ways, liken a Latvian to a Russian and a giraffe, and discuss the most powerful cosmic event in the known universe.
Recap: ORL 100, NYK 91
In which I discuss the Knicks second straight loss, give a shout-out to aunts everywhere who can’t cook, imagine the first time a tyrannosaurus rex scared something, and paraphrase what Sun Tzu would’ve thought of Thanksgiving if he’d thought of Thanksgiving.
