Comments (2)Ep. 216: Car Wreck!
The Basketball Jones — The Fix — Episode 216 (.mp3)
On today’s show, Tas and I can’t look away from the car wreck that is this New York Knicks basketball team. We discuss, among other things: how one even addresses a forty-five-point loss, on national television no less; whether Isiah can miraculously survive the weekend; and if anything on this squad is even worth salvaging.
We also weigh in on the Nuggets’ offensive defense, Whoa Boy it up, hand out some prizes, and dust off an old Jones classic — the Wanker of the Week. Do enjoy.
Today’s overall rating: 3 All-Star Shimmies!

PHOENIX [-5] over Houston
Look back to Monday night against the Warriors: Amare sat early thanks to foul trouble, while Nash and Marion played like complete garbage. Expect these three to bounce back. That, and the Suns have outscored their opponents by an average of 13 points at home. We like! Good luck.

Houston [-6.5] over LA CLIPPERS
The Clips are hurtin’. Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, Shaun Livingston and Brevin Knight are all out of action. Cuttino Mobley is also playing through a hamstring injury. Hell, Melas is expected to see Clipper minutes tonight. Houston by 15. Good luck.
