The Knicks are now 1-7 with no easy wins in sight. Things are getting so rough Knicks fans needed to be reminded “That we don’t Boo kids at The Garden” on Monday night during a kids dunk contest. No boos for the team yet, but watch out if you attempt and air ball a half-court shot during a contest or run out of free t-shirts too early.

Boozer had 23 points and 14 rebounds, but the Duke universe was leveled out as Duhon was benched for most of the game in favor of FSU rookie Toney Douglas who had 21 points. Least interesting 2-point game ever (95-93 Jazz Win).

My first time shooting the Knicks this year was a bit odd. Since Tel-Aviv rented the Garden for the game, technically this was an away game for New York. After being booted from the game, Tel-Aviv’s head coach Pini Gershon refused to leave the court for 10 minutes. On top of this, the crowd was decidedly bent towards Tel-Aviv. I guess that’s what happens when your sports team represents an entire religion. Enjoyed seeing all the Knicks yamakas in the crowd.
