May this image forever endure. There were few Knicks home games that I wanted to attend this season, and it should come as no surprise, really, that the two at the top of my list were the first and the last. Those games shaped up as the best opportunities to participate in the deafening chorus of fans lustily booing Isiah Thomas. Is that sick? No. Not really. Nothing is perverse with this ...

... like chips. Was anybody there last night? Care to give us a little recap of the game/post-game dump? Anyone who saw Wilson Chandler go down last night knew he was hurt, but the word is that he's not as hurt as he could've been. Sounds like just a sprain which will need some rehab this summer, nothing major. Since we've never ever been deceived by the Knicks training staff before, this is good news and won't have to be mentioned again. Joey's obituary for this Knick season is a must-read.
