Since all else has failed, I see no reason for the Knicks not to sign Allen Iverson.

Hopefully you read it and even spread word, so everyone can see things from a new perspective.

Do you blame the Knicks struggles this season on Chris Duhon? See what I think.

I've been in contact with a guy who represents DeSean Jackson and helping him with his social networking sites. He wanted me to help spread the word about Jackson auctioning his gloves on Sunday to help raise money for Pancreatic Cancer Research. If you have time, I'd love if you'd check this article out.

The NFL is promoting a gruesome double standard when it comes to money.

Me too. Should be a great matchup (as a Cavs fan, I'm worried). I think it's too easy to underestimate Williams putting in consistently solid performances (granted, not stuff like last night, but high teens/low 20s in points and a high percentage from three) isn't really that much of a stretch. There's a reason he was an All-Star last season. I'll admit, he's been very hot/cold so far, but once he gets his stroke down (he will), look out. Daniel Gibson is slowly proving that he has his touch back and once Delonte West figures out all the crap going on in his life, he'll be a huge contributor night-to-night as well. Cleveland's backcourt, when in rhythm, is a great one. Gibson hasn't been shooting like this since he came to the NBA. West always (always) goes 110% on every play and usually shoots a high percentage. The only reason the Cavs' guards got lit up last season by Orlando was because (1) Orlando's guards were longer and taller and (2) Howard demanded a double team every time he touched the ball, thus opening shooters. If Shaq, Andy, LeBron and Z can even do half of what they did against Howard last night, the Magic can't beat the Cavs. I know I sound like a homer, but I think the Cavs are finally getting their chemistry together and are on the cusp of breaking out of the pack in the East. We'll see how they do tonight; huge game.

LBJ sure looked like he had more than one "sidekick" last night, didn't he?
