DAVID FUCKING LEE!

That was so fucking sick, Marbury was drawing up that play in the time out, and he left with a smile on his face, I knew something sweet was bout to happen. That shit was the most awesome buzzer beater I've ever seen

I'll take the trent tucker buzzer beater any day because it was against the Bulls but it had to be the play of the year so far.

Michael Jordan, Craig Ehlo, Game 5.

that's the first time i've ever seen a team pull off the tip in with 0.1 seconds left. most ridic back to back wins in knick history

Marbury drew up the play in the timeout, and him and Frye had devilish fucking smiles coming out of the huddle. I knew something sick was bout to happen.

if isiah drew up the play it would be "inbound to jamal crawford who shoots a 35 footer"

that's what got them into overtime to begin with.

Isiah really needs to just stand there and look pretty and let everyone just do what they want, it works out better.

ok, the Knicks shot 56 percent and knocked off the best team in the East in triple OT. Jamal had 11 assist, Lee had another double double, and Marbury scored 41 points. Meanwhile, they beat the Pistons who had a 51 point performance by Rip Hamilton. No way are the Knicks the worst team in the league, not after this past week.

great game. kind of odd that the knicks shoot 56% to the pistons 43%, shoot 30 more free throws, and yet squeak one out in triple OT. curry really needs to learn how to rebound in big spots.

NEW YORK - Eddy Curry dressed quickly and looked forward to a trip home to Chicago for the holiday. David Lee, off to St. Louis, did the same.

At one point, Isiah Thomas popped his head into the locker room to let the guys know to call him when they reached their destinations.

The New York Knicks, 12-18 after 30 games of Thomas' first season as coach, haven't reached their destination yet. Far from it. But with an Atlantic Division filled with flawed, injured teams, mediocre teams, they are as close as anyone.

Three games ahead of last year's pace, it is safe to say the Knicks survived the first wave of what many feared would be another lost season. On most nights, they're not only competitive but watchable. They have problems, Isiah Lord Thomas III knows, but so does everyone else in the Atlantic, which is the Dead Sea of the NBA.

"I think we're really starting to find ourselves as a basketball team," Lee said after the Knicks ran out of gas and collapsed with a 98-77 loss to the 76ers in Philadelphia on Saturday night, capping a memorable week in which the Knicks won three games in a row - one in overtime and one in double overtime. "We've been talking all year about how the team in our division that finds itself first ... is the team that has a chance to win this division. I think we took some major steps toward that this week."

At a time when the Knicks went 3-1 with either eight or nine players available because of injuries and suspensions related to the Dec. 16 brawl with Denver, the rest of the division proceeded to fall apart around them.

The 76ers, who might be 86'ing the season to get Ohio State center Greg Oden, traded star guard Allen Iverson to Denver. Boston is without sharpshooter Paul Pierce, Toronto is without Chris Bosh and the Nets lost center Nenad Krstic to a season-ending knee injury. "It appears that everybody in this division has been pretty beat up," Thomas said.

Because of Jared Jeffries' wrist injury to start the season and his just-completed four-game suspension, as well as injuries to small forward Quentin Richardson and guard Steve Francis, the Knicks haven't had their originally intended starting lineup once all season.

"I don't see any reason why we can't win this division," Lee said.

The good to this point? The Knicks survived the transition from being a guard-driven team to one focused intently on pounding the ball inside to Curry, who is becoming a force with 17.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. They are first in the NBA in rebounding average (44.9 per game) and third in rebounding margin, outrebounding their opponents by an average of 4.76 per game. Lee leads the team with a 10.3 average.

The bad? While Stephon Marbury has accepted a diminished offensive role without making a big deal of it, he remains one of the most statistically ineffective point guards in the league.

That's right, the Knicks are one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA.

based on jeffersons voice i wouldn't be suprised if it was him

who????

Quote:John Amaechi, who played at Penn State and for five seasons in the NBA, will announce he is gay in an upcoming book.

The book, published by ESPN Books (owned by the Walt Disney Company, parent company of ESPN), is entitled "Man in the Middle." It is due to be released later this month.

Amaechi, born in Massachusetts but raised in England, would be the first NBA player to come out publicly. Few other men's professional major sport athletes have announced they are gay. Among them are football player Esera Tuaolo, baseball player Billy Bean and baseball umpire Dave Pallone.

NBA commissioner David Stern said a player's sexuality is not important.

"We have a very diverse league. The question at the NBA is always 'have you got game?' That's it, end of inquiry," Stern told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Amaechi, a 6-10 center, played for Cleveland, Orlando and Utah during five NBA seasons. He averaged 6.2 points and 2.6 rebounds before retiring from the league in 2003.

He is currently known in Britain as a television personality and for helping fund the Amaechi Basketball Center in Manchester.

He played collegiately at Penn State after transferring from Vanderbilt.

Amaechi will also be the subject of ESPN's "Outside the Lines" on Sunday (9:30 a.m. ET). The book will also be excerpted next week on ESPN.com and in the next issue of ESPN The Magazine.

Stern using the term "have you got game" is gayer than Richard Jefferson anyday.

the knicks own the lakers. 23 wins, matching last year's win total, securing that the knicks won't be as bad as last year.

The Lakers are an amazing team. They can play with and beat the good teams...spurs, mavs, suns but against the bad teams it's like they shit themselves and lose all the time. I guess that's a good omen since the playoffs are the best teams huh?

The Celtics are in first place.
