The Knicks go on the road to Miami and rally back to snag a 91-86 win against the rivalry Heat. Carmelo Anthony puts up 29 points and nine rebounds in his third game as a Knick.
Two big plays were made to help the Knicks seal the game. One was a huge three-point shot by big shot Chauncey Billups. The other play was a block shot by Amar'e Stoudemire as Lebron took it to the whole and was denied.
It is safe to say that the Knicks definitely made a statement that come playoff time, the Knicks ain't nothing to mess with. The Knick big three, including big shot Billups as the number three, looked a lot better than the Miami big three last night.
The Heat need to stop giving Lebron James the last shot when the game is on the line. How many times must he prove to the NBA world that he is not clutch. If this pattern continues in the playoffs, the Heat may make an early exit in the playoffs due to Lebrick James jacking up last second shots and missing.

Knick Nation is Saying Hello to Melo
The drama with Carmelo Anthony and where is he being traded to is finally over as the New York Knicks agreed to a trade with the Denver Nuggets.
The Knicks gave up Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, 2014 first-round pick and two second-round picks, which is a lot. However, in exchange they get Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Renaldo Balkman, and Anthony Carter.
The Knicks will also send Eddy Curry and Anthony Randolph to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Corey Brewer as part of the three-team trade.
I know the Knicks may have given up more then they wanted, thanks to the Nets, but I believe in the long run they will benefit from the trade. The Knicks were able to keep outstanding rookie Landry Fields on the team as he will be an intrical part of the team. also, Spike Lee's wardrobe is saved as he only wears Fields jersey to Knick games.
The Knicks now have two superstars, and in the 2012 free agency, they will be trying to attract one more to come over and build a big three in N.Y.C. Can you say Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Deron Williams to the Knicks in the future. I could see it.

James Dolan Needs to say Hello To Mello
Reports are coming out today from New Jersey that the Nets and Denver Nuggets have reached a tentative agreement on a trade for Carmelo Anthony. The only thing holding up the deal is Anthony's agreement to the trade and signature on the three year 65 million dollar contract extension.
Another report came out from ESPN's Ric Bucher that Anthony said he will accept the trade to the Nets if the Knicks are unable to make a deal.
Now to James Dolan, Knicks Owner, what is wrong with you? He is a New York native, one of the most dynamic versatile scorers in the NBA. He is stalling all this time so he can hopefully play where he wants to, New York. As a Knick fan, the Knicks have been disgraceful for the past decade. How can Dolan pass up on this. We need another dynamic player to compliment Amare.
If Carmelo Anthony is not a Knick by the trading deadline, Feb 24, this may be one of the worst decisions Dolan has made as an owner. He has made a lot of dumb decisions too, paying Eddy Curry way too much, along with Alan Houston, hiring Isiah Thomas, and I think Mike D'Antoni as a head coach is another bad decision as well.
Don't screw it up Dolan, Knick nation will be mad!!!! Dolan should meet with Spike Lee, so he can speak some sense into him.

The Need Want Relationship Theory
Since it's Valentines day today, Happy Valentines day to those celebrating, I have decided to indulge you readers into one my theories about relationships, the need want relationship theory.
A healthy relationship needs to start off right if it wants to last long. My theory explains how people should fall in love.
When a guy meets a girl he likes or vice versa, both parties should want to spend time with the other person. The keyword is want, they should not feel like they need to spend time with you after just meeting you. When someone feels like they need a person after meeting them for a day or so, that is something called an obsession. People who are obsessed with the opposite party are very dependent on the other party, and screw up the balance in the relationship. By balance, I mean that both parties should have an attraction that is equivalent to the other.
During the beginning of a new relationship, both parties should want the other person, not need them. It is through life, experiences with the person, going through the good and bad times together, and the journey you both share during a long period of time is when the feeling of needing the other person comes into play.
Being through so much with someone will make one realize that after going through so much, you know longer want the person, but you need them. They share all of your memories of good and bad times and if both parties weathered the storm, then they both know they found a keeper. When you feel like you need them after life's experiences with them is when you know you truly love them.
Although personalities and egos can put a tailspin on any relationship, this is a simple guideline on how one should approach a relationship if they want it to last long. although we all want to need someone, we need to want them first!

Birthday Blog
For those who are unaware my birthday just past on February 12, where I turned 22. The day started off badly but ended with a bang.
As the clock struck midnight on Friday night early Saturday, I was stuck working until three o clock in the morning. After that shift, I had to come back in at 12:00pm until 5:00pm.
First off, working in general sucks. Having to work on your birthday is a double whammy, as friends are calling throughout the day wishing me a happy birthday, but I cannot do anything because I am working until five.
Hoping to get off at five was me when the clock struck five on Saturday, however being a Manager at McDonald's, means people will always be late when you wish they would come in early or at least on time. So there I stood until 5:40pm until the other Manager I was waiting for came in.
After work, is when the fun begins. Four of my friends meet me at my house to start pre-gaming, a term used when people drink at home before they go out. One friend bought me a Johnny Walker black label which I must say is a hell of a scotch. After shots, mixed drinks, and more shots, five of us went out to eat, followed by a trip to Downtown Fort Lauderdale.
Along with my four friends, I met up with a few classmates who met up with me in Fort Lauderdale. The fun now begins as the party animal inside me is exposed when I consume massive amounts of alcohol.
We all went club hopping to some different places, and overall had a wonderful time. There is nothing like enjoying a long day of work with people that you care about and vice versa. So to those that joined me on my Birthday bash, I would like to say thank you, as your presence made the night more memorable. And remember, do not drink and drive!!!!

Brady Wins M.V.P. and Wins In A Unanimous Decision
Patriots future hall of fame Quarterback Tom Brady wins his second NFL M.V.P. and is the first to do so in a unanimous decision receiving all 50 votes by the voting committee. Although he did not throw for 4,000 yards thanks to a lot of turnovers by the Patriot defense, Brady threw 36 touchdowns to four interceptions.
Although he had a slow start statistically, his blowouts against elite AFC teams like the Jets, Steelers and division rival Dolphins help propel his team to a 14-2 record best in the NFL. Brady was doing all of this without Randy Moss, and a young team. His two rookie Tight Ends caused a lot of match up problems for defense and Wes Welker will always drive a Defensive Coordinator crazy with his elusiveness.
Brady was able to put up 538 points in the regular season, a career high for him. He outdid his first M.V.P. where he received 49 votes, one went to Farve, by gaining a Unanimous decision, which has never happened in the NFL until now. Just goes to show how good of a Quarterback Brady is and will be with a young nucleus of talent that is only going to get better. Patriots will be a Superbowl contender for years to come until Brady retires.

Green and Yellow! Green and Yellow!
The pack are back as they get to the promise land and hoist the Lombardi trophy for the fourth which is named after their hall of fame Coach Vince Lombardi. The score was 31-25 Green Bay being victorious.
A-Rod, Aaron Rodgers, not Alex Rodriguez, came through clutch and had a hell of an outing for his first Superbowl appearance. Aaron went 24 for 39 with 304 yards and added three touchdowns.
Aaron Rodgers has now silence his critics who are Brett Farve fans as he did what he needed to do to solidify himself in Green Bay history, win a Superbowl. He may not have the personality of allure with the media as Brett did, but he does not need to, because he is Aaron Rodgers, the peoples champion.
As injuries plagued Green Bay all season long, the Superbowl was no different. Green Bay lost two key secondary players in Charles Woodson and Sam Shields during the game. Their backups stepped up and got the job done as Ben Roethlisberger had one last drive but could not get a first down when needed.
