For some reason, announcers are calling the Knicks-Grizzlies season opener a "triple overtime thriller." Uh, hardly. The Knicks blew a 19-point fourth quarter lead, then the teams went back and forth for three overtimes to see who could out-suck the other.
Like many basketball games, this one was decided at the free throw line, and the Grizzlies were just more dedicated to sucking. The Knicks managed a merely horrendous 10-22, while the Grizz blew the roof off the outhouse with a 6-21 performance. Let that sink in for a moment: six out of twenty-one free throws. The game was in Memphis, so I assume the crowd wasn't waving those little sticks or jumping up and down. And I'm pretty sure there isn't any new kind of rule were you have to shoot free throws while a bear attacks you.
Oh, that's right: it's the new basketballs' fault. The darn things are just too… round. Damn that David Stern!

Wow, that is an ugly tie! Did Isaiah not look in the mirror before he went courtside?
Perhaps it’s some kind of sexually harassing, dominant power tie. He’s got to show Stevie Franchise who’s boss.
With Leather, thank you for making basketball entertaining again. Now, let’s see what you can do with hockey.
rolando blackman on the sideline is great. i mean renaldo balkman. so high all day long. also their hand bands are some high quality products. i cant imagine isiah’s gestures on the sideline all year long. if they keep winning though it will be insane. if they keep losing at least cheap tickets.
