FORMER ALL-STAR VIN BAKER SIGNED FRIDAY WITH THE NEW YORK KNICKS FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON, A DAY AFTER WINNING HIS ARBITRATION CASE AGAINST THE NBA

Word is when he comes to Milwaukee on Sunday he is going on both the Miller Brewery tour and the Sprecher Brewery tour!

This move by the Knicks, is a move I would make, they need another scorer, especially a low post scorer, someone can give the Knicks a easy bucket when the shots are not falling and other team is making a run. They have nothing to lose, if he plays good, that is great for the Knicks, if not, he sits on the bench.

And don't tell me about chemistry issues, signing Vin Baker is completly different from the Van Horn/Thomas trade. First of all, Baker is going to be a bench player, the Knicks bench stunk up the joint the other night vs Boston. And here the Knicks are just adding a player, they are not taking away a player to add Baker.

The Knicks lost the other night to Boston because they gave up to many offensive rebounds, not hit free throws, and shot to many jump shots. Backer might have helped them on Tuesday. Pleace go to the bucket, come on this is the Eastern conference there are no shot blockers in the East, quit settling for jumpers.

By the way, the one bright spot about the Knicks losing the other night, is they fell to number 7 seed. The Cavs can have the number 6 seed, I don't want to play Detroit.

And speaking of Detroit, mark my words, Rasheed Wallace will be a Knick next season, it is a forgone conclusion that he will be a Knick.

Its "foregone conclusion" ;)

I am so pissed, is Lenny Wilkins a ******? The Sixers are down by 3 with no timeouts, and you don't fowl? Fowl, Fowl, Fowl, dame it fowl.

And again Mohamed (don't get on me if I spell his name wrong) screwed us again. First, it was the missed slam dunk vs Boston, and tonight he can't make an open 5 foot shot to win the game in regulation. And have you ever heard of boxing out.

Though, in the Knicks defence, that technical fowl on Houstan was bs.

And they were up 85-81 before Kyle Korver hit the 3 to make it 85-84. I mean why did the knicks think Korver was on the Floor?? He SHOOTS THREE"s so why leave him open?? Knicks gave that game away. But I knew that Lucky win by the Sixers would catch up with the today in Detroit-LOL

The Korver shot was a killer, but I think he was open because of a check. And Thomas is the guy you want to shoot the three, and that shot was a miracle shot. And I am not second guessing the coach, because as the play unfolded I was yelling for the Knicks to fowl. I hope next time, they would fowl.

But I give Wilkins a little break, because there was never a time out called. So maybe he wanted the Knicks to fowl, but he couldn't communicate with them to fowl. And I would not call time out to tell them that and give the Sixers a chance to set up a play.

Knicks are in the process of making a GREAT COMEBACK against Milwaukee. They were down 26 points and now lead the game 98-93 with 1:43 left-let's hope they hold on.

Well the Knicks fouled this time-LOL Now they are on the foul line now and are up 103-100 and will win 103-100. Great Win and this game qualifies to be in my Sports collection.

Yup the Knicks learned their leason. They tried to fowl, but the referee didn't call it, and Kukoc missed a three pointer. Knicks escape with a win. Bitter sweet victory for the Knicks. Great comeback, but they should not have to comeback from 24 points down.

I wonder if the Sixers lose chanced Wilkins pholosphy on defending up 3 points, or the Knicks just did not listen to him Friday night?
