The Knicks Fix

“We need to get away from each other. We love each other, but it’s time to get a couple of days away and come back ready for the stretch run.” -- Jamal Crawford

I think what Jamal said works for us here at the Knicks blog, as well. I'm taking a much-needed, well-deserved break. I've taken enough guff from the swine.

In fact, I offered to go and just blog about the whole NBA all-star game in Vegas thing in a sort of Hunter S. Thompson delirium everyone should experience at least once in their lives. I even had a lawyer to go with me to advise me.

Shockingly, Newsday declined. I guess asking for a $10,000 cash advance was a bit suspicious.

Swine!

But if you're looking for all-star stuff -- and a much-needed, well-deserved break from my idiotic ramblings -- you can follow Ken Berger's frolicking through the Vegas minefield this weekend on his NBA blog here: http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/basketball/nba/blog/.

Ken will be there for Bernard King's Hall of Fame announcement -- we're pullin' for ya BK! -- and David Lee's performance in the Rookie Challenge game. There's also N8 the Gr8 defending his Slam Dunk title. I've seen Nate work with Lee on a few potential dunks, so look for D-Lee to be involved in whatever Little Man N8 has in store. Ken might also cover Sunday's all-star game, but we'll see if he even makes it that far. My guess is he'll be trying to win back his expense account by Sunday morning.

Eyes on the prize, Ken. Don't let a bad roll stop you. You can eat when you get home.
