The Knicks are winners

Well, the feel good story of the year is well under way.

We still can’t believe we’re supporting this movement, but Isiah’s Knicks won their first game of their season last night. Not only that, but they managed to do it in triple overtime, on the road. (The victim? Memphis.)

There were smiles and hugs and laughing all around. Naturally, there was also a slight sense of relief, as NY actually had a 19-point lead they blew in the fourth quarter before all that OT stuff.

“We got out of some of the things we do, which is expected,” Thomas said. “It was nothing that we were doing. It was everything that they were doing right. They have some good players.”

“I was pleased with the whole team,” Thomas said. “They gave a gutsy effort. There were some crazy plays at the end and we could’ve caved in. We kept grinding it out.”

Good for Zeke – last year, Larry Brown would’ve taken that same moment to rip his team to shreds and openly question whether he’d wasted the last thirty years of his life.

Positive reinforcement does work, and we’re going to start implementing such tactics into the site. From now on, we’ll be patting the imaginary employees like Greg Anthony on the back all the time.

NOTE: Nate Robinson may have broken out the Chicken Noodle Soup Dance – we can’t be sure, but this is evidence worth examining.

NOTE 2: Renaldo – 8 minutes, 4 rebounds, 4 fouls.
