First Entry!

Hello! Well, this is my first blog; and the topic I decided to write about are the New York Knicks. I understand that they are not exactly the ideal NBA team, but I unfortunately have become obsessed with them. I understand that's hard to believe considering we have started the year with a 3-9 record, we have a mentally unstable coach in Isiah Thomas, and probably the player with the highest ego, Stephon Marbury or as he likes to call himself Starbury ;). Besides that and probably about another thousand reasons; I have overcome my friends mocking me, and my Nets obsessed family forsaking me, to become a "hard core" Knicks fan. I truly don't know what makes me like them, but I have been a fan for a long time.
The purpose of my blog is not to bore you with family stories and my life, but to tell you my opinion on the team. So, I was happy this Saturday as I saw my team beat the struggling Chicago Bulls. I'm usually happy when we win games, but this game I was a little extra happy, because we snapped our 8-game losing streak. We played like a real legitimate NBA team against the Bulls. We had a couple of season firsts this game.
1. We had our first double-digit lead
2. We held the Bulls to 12 2nd quarter points (the least any team has had against us.)
3. Stephon Marbury wasn't booed for his omnipotent performance.
So, now after this game there is a glimmer of hope for Isiah Thomas' New York gang.
