    Dude says Mike D'Antoni didn't ask him to play when they had a roster of what 7 people? Bullshit. Good job, Steph. Don't step up when the team needs you.
  2. So, what have you read recently?

    Freakonomics is pretty sweet. Read it a year or so back. They also blog online too, so you can check that out. Kite Runner was good, so was A Thousand Splendid Suns. The Last Lecture was amazing. It was written by a Professor at Carnegie Mellon who had terminal illness and recently passed away.

    Holy Crap! Crawford, Randolph, and Collins for Mobley, Harrington, and Tim Thomas. This is to free up the salary cap to try to get Lebron in 2010. Not a bad move considering Cat Mobely, Al Harrington, and Tim Thomas are pretty good players. Knicks are looking better and better. I have to give...

    Anyone else remember Earl Boykins (unintentionally, probably) hitting Yao in the stomach? Classic David and Goliath.

    Holy Crap. Newspapers from yesterday are selling up to $100 online! All of them stating: "History in the making!" Crazy stuff. Anyone else noticed?

    Sweet! Knicks won their opener. Six in double figures. Being a Knicks fan, I was really unsure of the result of the game. 120-115? Signature performance of a Mike D'Antoni team where the team with more points has the best defense. Let's see how they do with a few more games under their belt...
  8. Favorite Magazine

    Consumer Reports: They basically test stuff out and give out unbiased reports since they don't accept advertisements. They not only test out tangible goods, but services like health care. I've had a subscription for a year, and I plan on keeping it. Men's Health: This magazine is about... well...
  9. Election 2008, United States

    I'm voting for Barrack Obama, but that it matters much since he's going to win New York anyway. Here's an interesting article comparing Obama to McCain if anyone's interested. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/24/opinion/24fri1.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&em

    I think the Knicks will definitely improve their record, but I doubt if they're good enough to contend for the playoffs. Mike D'Antoni is a very well respected coach, but he doesn't have a very deep roster that fits his style of play. I am a big Knicks fan, but I think that it'll take at least a...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't get amino acids from plants.

  13. Self Discipline

    One of the biggest factors of learning in class, I think, is the professor. If the professor makes class interesting or plain not boring, you'll learn a lot more. Go to a ratemyprofessor. com or something. I've used those web sites frequently when I was completing my undergraduate studies, and...

    If that happens, Kobe is gonna start bitching again. That's the biggest reason why I don't like him.

    Damn, anyone here remember when the East used to be so friggin cut-throat? It's been sad these past years.
