LeBron Cements his Legacy

I have to let go of all "hate" of LeBron James. What he did this NBA Finals and bringing a championship to Cleveland is things of legends.

The way the Cavs pulled together and won this for "The Land" was inspiring. JR Smith played defense. Kyrie outplayed the MVP. Tristan Thompson showed people why he got paid. Kevin Love, in one defensive possession, proved his worth to this team and how much he loves playing for this group even though he fits like round peg in a square hole.

Knick fans felt spurned by LeBron during his "decision" and the hate is real. It could have been us with Mozgod, JR and Shump winning one for Gotham, yet here we sit watching four former Knicks get rings ( Mozgod, JR, Shump and Channing Frye )

I'm ready to let it go and embrace LeBron as one of the best ever as one ring for Cleveland is like 2 in any other city! The King finally delivered for his kingdom.

Risen

After a long hiatus, I am back to continue to maintain this blog at least once a week.

A ton has happened since my last entry and It would take an eternity to catch you up but let us say it's been hard and satisfying and here I stand :)

The Knicks still suck. I think its safe to say that five years from now that statement may still ring true. Carmelo is holding the franchise hostage with his no trade clause but the front office not only maxed him out but also gave him the clause to begin with. Double down. The triangle is not going to work. Not with this talent and Melo the centerpiece of it.  Durant is not walking through those doors either.  The best we can hope for is maybe having Melo waive his no-trade and get maybe Jimmy Butler and a pick. Going to be a looooooong summer....as usual.

I shall post my thoughts on Batman VS Superman and the Season Six finale of The Walking Dead over the weekend. They both found ways to disappoint!

Knicks Season in review

The Knicks had a very good season. A season i think most would agree was surprising especially the torrid start. Jason Kidd was gelling and create for the Knicks, Felton was back to the Felton of old and even Rasheed Wallace was giving the Knicks some good minutes and some toughness.  

If you would tell me in the preseason the Knicks would finish with the second seed in the east and win 54 games i would have called you crazy. I expected mid 40s and maybe fighting for 4-6 seeds. I wonder if that makes me a pessimistic fan or a realistic one.  How ever you deem the Knicks season the playoffs is where teams really show what they are made of and we folded like a WWE chair :/  Melo played as hard as he could with the help he got, which is to say not much at all. JR Smith is still missing, Felton was stunted and our shooting was nerfed. I won't even mention Jason Kidd's funk which i believe has forced him into retirement. 

The Pacers played great. They played strong, fast and decisive. I don't want to take anything away from them especially the play of Roy Hibbert and Lance Stephenson. The Knicks had no answer and the Pacer shooters made their shots. The Knicks played good to great defense but we just couldn't score. JR didn't get going, Amar'e just couldnt get a roll going due to his limited minutes, Kidd was horrible and Novak didn't even play. The Knicks best players were Prigioni, Melo and Chris Copeland. Tyson Chandler was just abused. 

I hope we can draft well and hope that Kidd retires, Amar'e comes back full strength and Melo comes back healthy. We got close, but we could have played a whole lot better!
