Posted by Patrick on February 6th, 2012 filed in Author: Patrick, New York Knicks

(AP Photo/Bill Kostroun) (H/T: Michael Gluckstadt) In case you haven’t heard, it looks like Mike D’Antoni is likely going to go with Jeremy Lin as the team’s starting PG against the Utah Jazz tonight.

Posted by Patrick on February 6th, 2012 filed in Author: Patrick

Line of the Night: Eli Manning, 296 passing yards, 1 TD, led the Giants… oh wait, wrong sport.

Line of the Night: Derrick Rose (2.67 WARP). I got to watch some of the Bulls/Wizards game last night.
