Quote:
2) The Knicks to make a big statement against the Celtics. Get the NBA on notice!


Quote:
NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks know it will never be easy against the Celtics.
Not beating them in one game, and certainly not beating them for a division title.
But pulling out the kind of nail biter that's long gone Boston's way in this rivalry only reinforced the Knicks' belief that they can do it -- and even the Celtics see a difference.
Anthony scored 37 points, including a pair of free throws with the game tied and 16 seconds left, and New York survived a seesaw season opener Sunday to edge the Celtics 106-104.
"Most importantly for us, as a new team, we showed something," Anthony said. "We came together as a team. Even when we got down, there wasn't no frowns. Nobody was down. Mentally everybody was still up about it, and we willed our way to this win."

Thank you, Santa! :)

plus, the knicks teams of recent years would have choked with the game being so close, so this was a nice win in that sense as well...

that's all I need.
Give me 48-50 wins this year and a 4 seed, and I'll be thrilled! let's get to at least the second round as well...

<---realistic.....

Also, got my tattoo...a knicks fleece sweatshirt. a $50 visa gift card, the complete 'Year of No Light' discography, some pajamas, a check from pops, and my wife took the girls out for a drive so I could watch today's game in peace and no pants.

50 wins would give them ~ the 25th best season of all time (by winning percentage). I would hope they would be a little higher than 4th seed with that

Then 3rd, would be nice, but I ain't greedy.
Miami and Chicago are potential 60 win teams this year....Only so many wins in the East to go around.
I think 50 is a more than fair number to shoot for, but I'll take 52? although, unless they really gel, I don't think they are that good. yet....

time for an official NBA 2012 thread...

Actually, for the NBA, my magic number would be 0.

Oops. That's right.

Well I haven't done math since college so whatever the percentage is over 66 games instead of 82

Oh, cool. I didn't know zero was an option. I'd take that over fewer any day,

Got some booze, a Jello Biafra bobblehead, an out of print Barn Owl record on vinyl I've really wanted for a while, a batch of pot brownies, some oven mitts, a scratch off lottery ticket (loser), and an invitation to spend all day tomorrow in a hot tub with a couple bisexual chicks. I'm getting too old for this shit.

I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand I want one, on the other, I know Jello is probably not in favor of them.

It's almost 2012 and you're worried about how Jello Biafra feels? Come. The. Fuck. On.

I rather doubt they would be selling them without his approval and getting a cut. Not like he's afraid to get litigious.

In high school he was in my trifecta of punk bastions. If I begin to believe he's sold out and has let his likeness be made into a bobblehead, there's gonna be a little bit of my teenage years that dies. Googled them up, and they've made a Wayne Kramer, Keith Morris, James Williamson, and
Joe Shithead Keithley bobbles as well.

Wife and I got a little bit of Hanukkah gelt from my parents. That's about it.
But, it was a ton of fun watching the kids open their Hanukkah and Christmas presents. As stated before, that was the best present.

I mentioned getting the Oxford Companion to Beer by Garrett Oliver in the " A new nice beer thread". I also received a DVD copy of House on the Edge of the Park and Roger Corman's The Women in Cages collection, besides some cash.
