Dear oh dear. I have faith in Walsh but if he doesn't get Melo he'll be gone and Isiah will probably be reinstated.

Anyone watch the All Star game last night?

Yeah, it was pretty good. I like the All Star game because you get to see the best of the best, but with it being a bit of an exhibition, it's pretty tough to really enjoy it like you would, say a play-off game. LeBron was a beast, Kobe was class and the point guards all looked good.

New York has it's prince. My 79-40-1 Stoudemelo team is currently top of it's fantasy division. Finally we'll be relevant again.

Yeah, had the East managed that comeback then I think LeBron would have been a cert for the MVP. Iv not really watched Basketball since the late 90's/early 2000's but used to play for the school team and loved it. I remember back in December 2002 eating in a bar in South Florida and a High School game was on. There was this 1 kid who was awesome and the comms were raving about. Think his name was something like LeBron James





Anyway I was always a Magic fan as a kid and had a "Penny" Hardaway shirt. Since the Football seasons finished and I have got ESPN I thought i'd have a watch again and got back into it in no time.

Great stuff. I think it's getting alot better now. There was a bit of a period when their was a lull of real stars in the NBA. Barkley, Jordan, Ewing, Penny etc. Now with Lebron, Wade, Stat, Melo, KG etc. There's a galaxy of them. The majoc shirt was one of the best around and still is. Leaguepass is only £55 for the rest of the season. Exactly the same format as NFL gamepass. Work out about £2 a game.

What will the Knicks' starting line-up look like minus half a team now, Mark?

SG-Walker, Carter

PG-Douglas



Inactives:

SG-Rautins

SG-Mason Jnr

SG-Azuebike



Mason and Azuebike may get called up when healthy to replace the 3 pt shooting lost by Gallo and Chandler leaving. Also Earl Barron may get picked up, he was great on a rolling contract end of last year. A couple may get bought out. Also with the wealth of small forwards and guards we'll occasionally move Stat to the 5 and Melo to the 4.

D. Will going to New Jersey? If he signs an extension, that's a stupendously immense signing. The West are being weakened, massively!

The Nets wanna try and take New York. Not a chance. They only need a decent 3 now and they'd be more or less there. They need a flat out scorer. Wilson Chandler or Gallo would be an okay additon. The Jazz wanted rid of him due to the Jerry Sloan situation. They get a good deal back as well.



Welcome Home Melo.

Great start to Melo's Knicks career. I think he looked a bit rusty(shooting percentage awful) But he came through in the clutch. It kills me getting up early before work to watch it but it's worth it.



Monday 1am on ESPN.



Knicks @ Heat.
