It's time to say it: Break up the Knicks! They are 13 - 4, which, going into tonight's game against the Heat, was tops in the Eastern conference. Go figure.
After spending the better part of the last ten years being the joke of the NBA, this team has finally emerged as a legitimate contender. They are playing solid defense and their coach, Mike Woodson, has them playing with passion.
With the NHL on ice - no pun intended - basketball has returned to fore this winter.
While it's still too early to predict whether their fast start is for real, for now I'm enjoying the show. It's been a long time since I rooted for this team. It would be nice if their was something to look forward to this spring.
Which is more than I can say for the Mets. Yes they locked up David Wright - pun intended - but unless Mutt and Jeff follow through on their promise to the homegrown third baseman and get a badly needed supporting cast around him, you can look forward to yet another long summer at shitty field.
It's the same old same old with this franchise. They spend just enough to make it look like they give a shit. Meanwhile the team across the river continues to make post season after post season.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that one franchise is committed to winning at all costs; the other pretends to.
