Tiny Tuna Tumbling Toward Tibet


The New York Knicks lose 124-84 to a mediocre Philadelphia team last night.
The Syracuse Orange shoot 29% from the field and lose by 11 in a practically must win game at Louisville.

As much as I want to believe, both of my squads seasons are for all intents and purposes over. Sure the cuse could go on a quick run to finish up the season, especially with a big game with Notre Dame coming up, but they are just too thin this year to really be much of a threat. Sure, they can win a big game here or there, as they did last saturday against Georgetown, but with all of their starters playing 30+ minutes a game, they don't seem to have the depth to compete with the top teams in the country. However, the future looks bright as they are getting two former starters, Devendorf and Rautins, back next year from injuries and a great assemblage of young talent. If Greene returns for his sophomore year, they will have an incredibly talented and deep squad that should definitely be in the hunt for a national championship.

The Knicks on the other hand are just plain miserable. Isiah Thomas has run this team into the ground. The roster is filled with malcontents and mismatched parts. Outside of Crawford, Lee, and Balkman (and maybe Nate), this team should just be gutted and start fresh. The payroll to wins ratio is off the charts. Hopefully Dolan will have an epiphany and give Isiah the ax sooner rather than later. He has proven without a shadow of a doubt that he can run a team straight into the ground. Congrats.
The only bright spot is that they finally should have a lottery pick this year and could pick up one of the stud college freshmen. Hopefully someone else will be dumb enough to fall in love with Randolph's double-double numbers and give us a couple players to work with for the future.

But I guess I can't really complain because...

THE GIANTS WON THE SUPERBOWL!
