Anyway, here's my take on the Knicks. In order to get a true scientific read on where the Knicks are right now as a franchise, I've broken out my trusty "Lame-O Tron 3000." That's right, it's very scientific, I've researched over many a night to find the perfect formula and this it.
Makes you stand back in awe doesn't it? There is no right or wrong here. Being on the far right doesn't mean you aren't as lame as you would be if you were on the far let, you just happen to be as lame as the corresponding picture. SO here we go.
The Knicks' big move of the offseason was acquiring Zach Randolph. Randolph averaged 23 points and 10 boards last season, making Knick fans dream of a nightly double double combination of him and Eddy Curry. Unfortunately, Randolph is the softest big man this side of Yao Ming. At 6'10'' 241 pounds, he's a little shorter than Yao, but also about 200 pounds heavier. Not good guy. His shooting percentage was of .467% last year was more shooting guard than power forward. Not to mention he's got a history of bad behavior and will now get to run wild in the city. Terrific guys.
Sure the Knicks' have finished up the preseason and we've gotten to see Stephon Marbury on a court, not in it (Same for Isiah), but the last time he's really gotten headlines was when he was busy defending Michael Vick and calling dogfighting a sport, and testifying that he had sex with a St. John's student who was an intern at MSG. Hopefully Steph will have a better year on the court than he had off it this past year.
I won't get into the Isiah Thomas debacle as we all know about that. Overall, this Knicks' team does not scare you at all. Sure Curry and Randolph could develop some type of killer instinct and become a dominant big man duo, ala Duncan and Robinson, but what are the chances of that happening? Jamal Crawford and Nate Robinson are decent players, but are not going to put you over the top in anyway. Renaldo Balkman can't shoot and Jared Jeffries sucks.
So where does all this leave the Knicks on the Lame-O Tron 3000? Let's see...
Drumroll please?
And there it is! The Knicks fall somewhere between Zac Efron and George Bush lame. What does this all mean? It means that the team is a disaster and failure(and gay too?), and the majority people know this. Still, there are blind minority of fans and supporters who don't know any better and think you know what you're doing (or that you are a good actor/singer). Congratulations on being the first team to be evaluated by the Lame-O Tron 3000 Knicks!
