Baller Shots

Paul: Hey, did you know I’m saving the franchise and catapulting the Clippers past the Lakers in terms of Los Angeles relevance?
Billups: I did not know that. I thought I was gonna be shooting threes any time Blake sprinted towards the basket with his arm pointing to the backboard.
Paul: Nope, he needs a lob.
Billups: They don’t call me “Big Lob” Billups.
Paul: You totally stole Robert Horry’s nickname.
Billups: I’ve hit some huge shots, and I don’t see a ring on your finger.
Paul: Yeah, but “Big Shot Bob” has seven rings. That’s more than MJ and Pippen.
Billups: Point taken, but I didn’t start the nickname.
Paul: OK, let’s go get some Olive Garden.
Billups: See you there homie.

I’m just jealous I didn’t make the first Clippers-Olive Garden joke.

PLAYOFF BASKETBALL HAS RETURNED TO THE MECCA. After a tough 7 years, New Yorkers can once again see, the Knicks play playoff basketball.

So to celebrate the Knicks finally clinching their playoff spot, here are new versions of our “D’Antones” tee as well as a special “Rileys” edition featuring the definitive punk rock Knicks lineup of the 90’s.

I was about to give mad ups on the new tees (well, I still am. They’re fucking sweet) but they spelled poor Ronny Turiaf’s name wrong.

Ronny confused.

And surely now that the Knicks have Carmelo Anthony playing alongside Amare Stoudemire with Chauncey Billups running the show, the Knicks, much like the Dallas Cowboys, will inevitably be overrated and overstated. But. The longer I stare at the at the list of players on the current Knicks roster, the more convinced I become they can be somewhere between decent and pretty darned good right now. OK, not in the next week or so, but after, oh, 12 to 15 games.

Mike Wilbon, endorsing the Knicks. Kind of. Maybe. A little bit.

The New York Knicks stepped up and got Carmelo Anthony. Here’s how they might look - ESPN
