Basically. All that production and Melo only scored 1 point.

In these time of difficulty, I will continue to stand by the Knicks and look for them to make an improvement once Baron Davis takes the floor....I sigh and complain, but I remain positive! Go Knicks!!!

Baron Davis might never take the floor again, and if he does he won't be what he once was ever again.

I went to a Knicks game Monday night and I realized Jared Jeffries looks like a young bin Laden...

Jason Whitlock Apologizes For His Jeremy Lin-Inspired “Inches of Pain” Tweet

Media Gossip/Musings, NBA Jason Lisk February 12th. 2012, 10:01am

On Friday night, Jason Whitlock said “Some lucky lady in NYC is gonna feel a couple inches of pain tonight” soon after Jeremy Lin scored 38 points to help the New York Knicks beat the Los Angeles Lakers.

It led to a bit of a firestorm on Twitter, with several people calling him out for a comment that was viewed as stereotypical or racist regarding Lin. The Asian American Journalists Association demanded an apology yesterday, saying that the “attempt at humor . . . fell flat” and that “[t]he offensive tweet debased one of sports’ feel-good moments, not just among Asian Americans but for so many others who are part of your audience.”

Late last night, FOX posted an apology from Jason Whitlock, wherein he attributed it to his “immature, sophomoric, comedic nature,” throwing in a Richard Pryor reference.

I expect this to be the end of it. Whitlock’s crack was insensitive, and perpetuated a stereotype (and last I checked, he was not paid as a standup comedian). I’m also not going to pretend he was the only one making a questionable statement about Jeremy Lin over the last week, because I’ve seen plenty of them. For whatever reason, there is a double standard when it comes to Asian stereotypes/jokes. In substance, his comment was like Fuzzy Zoeller’s Fried Chicken and Collard Greens “joke” about Tiger Woods at the Masters (though I suspect the spirit and tone were different; can’t pick that up from Twitter). Zoeller, you might recall, as referenced in this Whitlock piece from 1997, justified his comments because he was a “prankster, comedian, funny man.”

I don’t think Whitlock should have been fired, and if this apology is good enough for the AAJA, then it should be over. I do think the medium of Twitter and the timing was such that it was just an ill-conceived statement. I also think we all need to think about why we think it’s okay to crack on stereotypes related to Jeremy Lin’s ethnicity.

Yeah, that was just hateration by Whitlock...the fat bastard. It was no different from Zoeller, the mayor from East Haven, CT or some members of the Goat Pen who make racially insensitive jokes that fall terribly flat and are terribly disappointing.

The more embarassing thing is that there are fuckers still paying Jason Whitlock to write vapid shit (I realize in this instance, he was tweeting but still...). It's not that Whitlock doesn't have the talent to be a quality writer, it's the fact that he makes such an effort to be a provocative, chain-tugging writer who ends up not positing thing of real value overall. You would think with all the examples out there of people working way too hard to be provocative only to end up writing/saying/doing something ridiculous that gets them in significant trouble (Imus, et al), that this type of thing would quell itself but alas...

Nobody agrees? No way Carmelo can exist in this situation.
