Fight Night



Yes, ladies and gentleman welcome to fight night at the garden. Boxing matches are held here but I don't think one was scheduled for tonight..



Fans paid to watch a basketball game with the Denver Nuggets against the New York Knicks and they put on a show tat would last a lifetime...Smh. The game was a disaster, my poor Knicks were getting embarrassed out there. It looked like the Nuggets was running a Fast Break drill on them, nothing but pure steals and outlets passes for the Nuggets. This obviously frustrated the Knicks, I would I would be mad if I was getting embarrassed like that on my home court. The fight broke out after upset and furious Mardy Collins stopped Jr Smith from an easy deuce, by clotheslining him to the floor. After being pinned down to the ground Smith jumped up in Collins face, and Nate jumped in to break up the fight. Nate and Jr both fell into the stands wrestling.. lmao. This is funnier than the boys on Day 26when they fight. Melo swung at Mardy making him do a face plant on to the floor.. smh you that big and you getting knocked out by him, maybe you need some boxing lessons instead. Wanna hear something funny, Jared Jeffries skinny behind chased Melo around the court in hopes of hitting him back for putting Mardy on the ground but you know that aint go down. At first some of his teammates was tryna hold him back but then he got tackled by a player on the Nuggets. Now this guys are football players.. whats next?




Now you know mister boss man commissioner was not letting this fight go down and there not be any repercussions. All players involved in the fight were suspended for a certain amount of games.


Ali, oh I mean Melo got suspended for 15 games for knocking Mardy out, Nate and JR were suspended for 10 games for wrestling in the stands, Mardy got suspended for 6 games for getting knocked out and for clotheslining JR, Jared Jefferies I can only laugh when I hear his name simply because he chased melo all around the court and still didn't get his hit back he looked like a 5 year old tryna play tag with a teenager but he got 4 games for that one what a dummy and Nene and Jerome got one game each but I don't know what they did. Each team was fined $500,000, and the players were suspended without pay. The players lost a combined amount of $1,234,548 in salary.

AREN'T YOU GLAD HE'S GONE!?!

The topic of today would be Stephen Marbury aka Starbury.. I know fans are elated that he is finally gone. He went from being a strong player on the team, to being a burden on the team. Fans hated the way he brought the team down and gave them such a bad name. His constant fighting with former Knicks head coach Isiah Thomas has caused both of them to get bad views..
Marbury was very upset with Thomas because he learned that he would not be starting in a game against the Phoenix Suns, so he flew all the way back to New York on a Charter Plane and it went downhill from there. Marbury felt that he would spite Thomas and the rest of the team by not getting dressed in his game uniform if he was not starting in the game. Best believe he sat there in his suit and tie at the end of the bench, looking foolish with that tattoo of his clothing line logo on his big head.

Marbury expressing his anger to his teammates said, "Isiah has to start me," Marbury fumed, according to the source. "I've got so much (stuff) on Isiah and he knows it. He thinks he can (get) me. But I'll (get) him first. You have no idea what I know."Daily News.com. I have no idea what the dirt it but it must not have been that juicy cause he ain't start Marbury after the so call threat was made. Thomas probably benched him because he lost his touch, Marbury used to be an all-star but with this new uprising of young talented players Marbury's skills has faded in the dust, and missing practices isn't making the situation any better.

Crystal feels..
Marbury just can't keep up with the pace, I mean Nate and Jamal are young fresh players and they easily score and help the Knicks do better. Steph just needs to relieze that his time is up, and resign so that the new guys could shine. Trading him to the Celtics has its ups and downs. He is finally out of the Knicks head and all the bad things they had 2 say about the Knicks are gone with him, but the downside of him going to the Celtics are that they are a championship team and his stubborn ways can cause them to have issues just as the Knicks did. Also, as both Thomas and Marbury are gone from the Knicks they should make-up and publicily apologize to the team, the fans and the Knicks general manager for all the trouble they put everyone through.

Lottery Pick: Future Stars

Well well, surprise, surprise. The Knicks land the number 8 spot to pick out of the draft. This miracle is greatly needed for the less than hopeful Knicks. Stephen Curry, Jonny Flynn, Tyreke Evans and Earl Clark can all be future Knicks stars...
Stephen Curry:Is the son of former NBA player Dell Curry and volleyball star Sonya Curry. He stands at 6 foot 3 inches tall and 185 pounds. Coming out of Davidson College his junior year he decides to drop out and enter into the NBA draft. Curry knows he's good but not good enough to be the top 5 picks. Curry decided to stay at Davidson a year longer so he can develop as a point guard. Personally I feel this wasn't a bad idea because he did play as a shooting guard most of his college and high school career. On January 3, Curry passes the 2000 point mark in his career when he scored 21 points against Samford. Curry does it again, four days later he scored 29 points against Duke and became the second leading scorer in Davidson's history with a point total of 2,488, what an awesome player.
Jonny Flynn: For Jonny a change to the Knicks as his first team in the NBA wouldn't be as drastic, since he wore orange for the past two years in college at Syracuse University. Just 3 inches shorter than Curry and at 186 pounds flynn is hands down one of the top point guards in college basketball. His stat sheet may not be as great as Curry's, but he does carry his own name, unlike Curry who was already looked at because of who his daddy was. In his senior year, he was ranked as the number 22 overall recruit and number 4 point guard, and was a McDonald's All American, you go boy! As a freshmen he showed nothing but promise for the rest of the season. As you may now, NBA star Carmelo Anthony attended Syracuse University and he held the record for most points scored in a freshmen's first game, but Flynn beat it scoring 28 points. Not only is he a good basketball player, but he is cute, he would fit right in with the Knicks since they have a couple of cute players on their team already.



Tyreke Evans: Freshmen phenom, Tyreke Evans of the University of Memphis has decided to enter the NBA draft as his first year comes to a close. He can be considered the Hail Mary for the Knicks, in his sophmore year of high school he was often compared to NBA all-star Tracy McGrady. In his senior year of high school he averaged 32.1 points per game. He played in the McDonald's All American game, he got MVP, a double double; 21 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, which ultimately help the East to get the "W" over the West.






Earl Clark: "E5" Is the what's the knicks been missing.. a big man that could put in work down low. Don't get me wrong now David Lee been doing fine but he needs some help, and Clark might be that guy. Just take a look at his rap sheet.. click here for his honors achieved.

Crystal's Favorites!!

Wilson Chandler this season was his first year with the knicks but he let his presence be known. Averaging 14.4 points per game and a free throw percentage of 0.795. Even though his numbers was as high as a star players own would be, Chandler's intensity and motivation was that of a team leader.


Pass first score later is a saying you can say always runs threw Knicks guard Chris Duhon head. Duhon has 7
.2 assists thanks to his second half David Lee. The two ran a pick and roll game all season giving Lee record setting double doubles.




Light it up Q-Rich! One of the Knicks clinch 3 point shooters Quentin Richardson has pulled threw for the Knicks numerous amount of times. He is not a starter but his heart is always in the game. At 6 foot 6 inches nearly blinds all his defenders by shooting their eyes out. I would not stand to close to h
im when he has the ball only because i love my eyesight.

My Favorite of them all, even though he is only a few inches taller than me, his hops and speed amazes me. He is the smallest on the team but has the biggest heart. Nate Robinson aka
KryptoNATE a two time all star slam dunk winner is the definition of hope for the Knicks. If it was not for him I would be saying Knicks who? Who the heck is that? Nate has such a way of pleasing the crowd while he plays, I think he is the reason why people go to the garden to see the Knicks cause it surely aint for there winning record...

Knicks 2009-2010 Season

As the 2008- 2009 season comes to a close, early predictions for the New York Knicks begin to ponder in people's mine. David Lee and Nate Robinson both will be free from their contracts, should the Knicks ditch 'em or keep 'em? David Lee was one of the Knicks biggest contributor last season averaging 16 points per game, 11.7 rebounds per game and a free throw percentage of 75.5. Nate Robinson... need I say more. Standing at only 5 foot 9 inches, Nate Robinson has a vertical leap of 43.5 inches. Not only can this little guy fly but he has a quick first step to the basket that leaves his competitors in the dust. This season he averaged 17.2 points per game, a free throw percentage of .841 and a field goal percentage of .437. The two have brought the Knicks some what of success this season, even though they didn't make it to the playoffs this season.
Keeping Robinson and Lee will be one of the smartest things the Knicks general manager would have made. Like Oh My Gosh! why would he trade Jamal Crawford and Zach Randolph. Getting rid of Mardy Collins and Tim Thomas was a reasonable trade they wasn't nothing but dead weight anyway. Before the initial trade of Crawford and Randolph I predicted that the Knicks will end up in the second round in the playoffs, but we can all see how that turned out. The less than hopefull Knicks need players like Robinson and Lee to keep the fans energy level up and to continue to bring hope to the team. Even though Nate is not a star player he is one of the most looked at players, fans love his aligilty, his speed and his charisma. Even when the team is down by 20 Nate always try to put on a show. Lee built a special bond with the new guard Chris Duhon were the ran a pick and roll game all season, this chemistry is something special like how Shaq and Kobe had when they played together on the Lakers.
