Blowing the Hive up with Sunshine

THEWILLY — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:56:26 -0000

Editor's Note: Remember when the Knicks used to play basketball games? Back in action tomorrow night.

Sorry for putting this up so late but I was busy with studying, christmas shopping and getting wasted. I'll keep it nice and short so we can look forward to tomorrow's game.

Sunshine Stickaz @ New Orleans Hornets:

1. Al Harrington (28/7)

2. David Lee (17/14)

3. Chris Duhon (22/9ast)

Overall Sunshine Rank:

1. David Lee - 8

2. Al Harrington - 5

3. Duhon & Larry Hughes - 4

4. Gallo - 3

Not gonna throw a poll up, just going to say that we should really reflect and appreciate how the team is playing and hopefully they keep it up. 1 1/2 away from the eighth seed.

Seth said to make these a separate fanpost because they wouldn't be happening too often. Well now Seth's word is NULL.

Is this three game win streak the best three game win streak in the past seven years? I think so!

If there were anyway to make rain clouds and wind happy I would do it, because I'm looking out my window right now and there is no sunshine in sight. I'm actually afraid of what I'm going to have to walk through to get to class.

Anyway, impressive Knicks D brought us an impressive Knicks V. Here are our sunshines.

12/07/09 - W vs. Portland Trailblazers (Trailblazer is a person who blazes a trail for others to follow through unsettled country or wilderness; pathfinder, OR a pioneer in any field of endeavor)

1. Larry Hughes - 21/7/2 10/18FG 4/8 from downtown. www.larryhughespleasekeeptakinggoodshotsandplayingefficientbasketball.com

2. David Lee - 17/10/2 7/8 from the charity stripe. How fucking nice is Lee's midrange jumper looking right now?

I really can't come up with someone who should get the third sticker so I'm going to leave it up to you guys in the poll. I think I offended some people with my Greg Oden knee comment (or lack of knee comment) so here is a family friendly poll, and by tomorrow morning we'll have our three sunshines. Fun!

Who should get the third sunshine sticker?

Sun to the Shine 12/07/09

I have a question before I bring the ray of light on to our beloved Knicks. 95 people said that Chris Duhon would return to pissing us off during yesterdays game. How do you all feel today? Seth's right, he did drive to the hoop and he was taking the shots that you would like him to take. I'm still hesitant towards being pleased with his performance though. An off ~~night~~ afternoon like the one Du Du had yesterday could be understandable if he was having even a semi-good year, but I don't think anyone is being a downer when they say that the game Du Du had against Atlanta was a once in a month type game and that the Nets game was a regression towards what we've already been seeing. Just a thought.

Our sunshines:

1. Al - 26pt 14 reb!!!!!!!!!!!! 5ast. Only three shots taken from beyond the arc.

2. David Lee - 24pt 9reb. Typical efficient game from Lee. Even though Lopez ran all over him on the other end in the 1st half, Dave didn't let it hinder his offensive game.

3. Larry Hughes - 25/4/4. 14/17 from the FT line. Hughes getting to the hoop in the second half is a big reason why we came back.

Overall Sunshine Rank:

1. David Lee - 6

2. Al - 4

3. Du-Du and Hughes - 3

4. Gallo - 2

Editor's Note: Willy's gonna be handing these out after every win. Pay attention. You just might learn something.

Knicks 114, Hawks 107

What I plan on doing is photo shopping our top "sunshines" face on to the sticker. However, seeing that our top sunshine this past game was Chris Duhon, I refused. He still makes me sick like the flu. What makes me even more sick is, according to the sunshine rank, when Duhon plays well, the whole team plays well. Last night was a great step for Du, but hopefully he doesn't stumble against the Nets tomorrow. Anyway, the rewards.

1. Du-Du (24pts 10ast 0 TOs!!!!!!!! 4/8 from 3)

2. Al (25 pts 5 rebs 4/8 from 3)

3. David Lee (18 pts 17 rebs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +7)

Overall Sunshine Rank

1. David Lee - 5

2. Al and Du-Du - 3

3. Hughes and Gallo - 2

I think we can all agree that the sunshine rank is properly showing us our MVP to date.

Will Chris Duhon piss us off tomorrow?

Nate Robinson says, "Shut Yall Mouths."

THEWILLY — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:14:44 -0000

So I was reading the fake Chris Duhon twitter account (which isn't really funny) and I came across a tweet from the real Nate Robinson twitter account (really funny.)

http://twitter.com/nate_robinson/status/5721941275

Man yall talk way too much garbage....shut yall mouths...

Seems like people are getting on Nate for the way the Knicks have been playing. By the way, does anybody know what the fuck "Word Aapp!!" means? Nate just dropped a few pegs down in my book though, he needs to be above all the shit talking. If this is the first time he has noticed people talking shit about the Knicks it's pretty sad.

THE THIRD ANNUAL POSTING AND TOASTING FANTASY BASKETBALL LEAGUE

THEWILLY — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:13:19 -0000

It's that time of the year again.

The basics: League: Yahoo

#:213426

password:waltclyde

Fourteen team league. We filled up twelve last year and the site seems to have picked up a considerable amount of traffic since then so we should be able to fill it up easily. The scoring and settings are standard Yahoo settings, but if anyone wants to change anything I am open for suggestions.

The draft date is tentative. If there are no problems with the current one (October 26th @ 9:30PM) it will just stay at that date. If people have a problem with it I'll suggest a change and we'll go from there.

Good luck!

Look at the Posting and Toasting Fantasy Basketball Season 2 league... I'm about to pull a 99 Knicks.... except I will win it all.

Next year I am going to require that everyone make their team their name on here, I have no clue who is who. I am Ruben's Empanadas obviously.

This needs to be 75 words long so... fuck Stephen Jackson for getting injured.

And I saw someone mentioned Reptar in another thread so uhh..

Marbury inactive again; Knicks president Walsh will meet with coach, player

NEW YORK -- Stephon Marbury was inactive again Sunday, and Knicks president Donnie Walsh plans to speak with coach Mike D'Antoni and his point guard this week in hopes of clearing up an uncomfortable roster situation.

Duhon, You're Dead to Me.

THEWILLY — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 14:25:07 -0000

We have a backup PG as our starting PG in a system that revolves around.. yes.. the PG. Duhon has been tooled the last three games by the opposing guard and we have a viable solution to this problem sitting there right on the bench and our coaching staff is neglecting it.

Does anyone remeber how Steph played in 06. It was exactly what this system needs. I am not saying he'd be perfect in it, but he would be three steps above Duhon. Last year was a shitty season for EVERYONE, not just Stephon. Just because he has had some terrible calls as a person does not mean he can't ball.

He carried this team in 06 when they needed it, he adapted his game that season as well. This year he was there all training camp and preseason, why not give him a chance?

I of course have a soft spot for Steph. Those 14 dollar starburys lasted me all senior year of highschool, and I give him much love for that.

I am probably panicking, but I think I can speak for everyone when I say I want an explanation to why Steph hasn't been given a chance to play.
