Dude, I' so looking forward to seeing the Knicks back in the playoffs, and playing the Indiana Pacers in a best of seven series. I think Houston is the only player left from those great series of the late 90's on the Knicks. I'm so glad that Reggie is still playing, that's great.
There's like so much stuff that they can hype. Reggie vs Spike. Larry Bird vs Isiah Thomas. Marbury vs Artest, the battle of the home-town boys. Dikembe, in pursuit of getting back to the NBA Finals. Houston, trying to prove his worth and continue his slow and steady rise in becoming a better player.
If you do look at the stats for Houston over his career, his numbers have steadily increased, and this year he could average 20 or more points for the season, with Marbury giving up the mad assists.
With the Knicks, you have scoring threats. A team, and a franchise, that has always stressed defense, but they have scoring threats in Marbury, Van Horn, Houston, Thomas, and Anderson sometimes. On the bench, Penny is proving that you don't know what type of Penny you're getting when he steps on the court. SInce his move to the Knicks, it's like we traded away for a player that's a mish-mosh of his last 10 years in the league. At time, he looks like the player that was running down the court back when he and Shaq were Magic.
Isiah should be congratulated. And, at the first sign that he is about to start making stupid decisions, kick him the fuck out.
We should totally get Knicks playoff tickets for that series.
