so much for everyone refraining from saying new coach  :-\

Bring back Fran
not a new coach but an old coach.
or
Bring back Louie an even older coach
or dig up Joe Lapchick who is not a new coach but a deceased coach and prop him on the sidelines like weekend at Bernies.

A new coach with ANY kind of head coaching experience.  This team will never achieve any kind of sustained success under our present coach, Lance or no Lance.

Or it wouldn't be a Christmas Wish List if you were leaving out the Red Ryder 200-shot Range Model Air Rifle and just asking for a sweater.

As I responded to his post in the other thread I was wondering...
Have you guys been doing some major bonding???

Tha Kid is beginning to sound a lot like Marillac!

Have you not read my 10 posts about that movie?  I think it is more overrated than Jeter! 

By the way...Love Actually is a horrible Christmas movie.  Quick review:  husband with two kids ignores wife and buys secretary amazing necklace (classy), Keira Knightly's character cheats on her husband of about two weeks with his best friend (how festive), Hugh Grant falls in love with his chubby assistant even though they only spoke about six times and there was no time spent setting up their relationship in the movie, and the guy marries a girl from Portugal that he knew for two weeks, in spite of the fact that they never had an actual conversation!  And the only thing "Christmassy" at all was the countdown on the screen and one office party!

Nice pick, Ebert!

I wish for 15,000 minions rabidly cheering for our team and making the Garden a true "home court."  (Obviously, 6,000 rabid fans at Carnesecca when we play Seton Hall.)

That girl wasn't from Italy?  That was a horrible Christmas movie.  Almost subversive in its lack of comeuppance for a-hole characters.  And you forget the shlubby porn stars, but I guess that's the sweet part of the movie.

Wait wait --- what about the rock star and his manager!  What about the British guy that goes to America? 

I don't think it is your typical "Christmas movie" but it is a very good movie that is based around Christmas...more Christmassy than Die Hard, but not a "It's a Wonderful Life" type.  For a romantic comedy, its among the best for a guy to watch, IMO.  I liked it.

I'm not even sure it can be classified a "Romantic" comedy, as there was no real romance in it!  The rock star was pretty awesome, I'll give you that.  The British kid getting a fivesome in Wisconsin was just not believable.  He looked worse than Cedric Jackson's jump shot.

Why do you keep listing Die Hard in the Christmas category?  Am I missing something?

Die Hard is totally based on Christmas!  The Nagasaki Plaza was having a Christmas party when the terrorists attacked.  Bruce Willis was flying to Cali to see his fam for Christmas.  Limo driver was wearing Santa hat and playing Christmas music (Christmas in Hollis).  Christmas-based movie!

Great thing about the Garden is that the subway is rarely affected by the weather.  My season tix are already paid for so i guess, other than the price of cracker jacks, I'm not affected by the economy.  I support the bad coach and bad team unconditionally.

Isn't the Holiday Festival usually played between Xmas and New Year's?  i think playing it right before Xmas is a bad idea.

Finally, aren't the other two locals responsible for an empty Garden too?  I know we are the bigger program but...  For the guys who complain about not playing the locals, what would they bring to the table?  I would rather play the bigger programs and get my teeth kicked in.  The exposure, and a packed Garden, would help more with recruiting and if we caught one on a good night, we might steal a signature win.

Die Hard may be my favorite movie of all time but it is definitely my favorite Christmas movie of all time.  I've been arguing this point for years with my kids.  By the way, i think Argyle should have won the Oscar for best supporting actor!  ;D
