Hearing Hill's story makes him easy to root for

They booed Jordan Hill Thursday night at Madison Square Garden . It wasn't anything personal, really.

Well give him credit for getting this far given what he was dealt with as a baby, I wish him the best and hope he ban turn into a good player, I don't know much about his game but from what I hear he should do well playing for D'antoni's sytem. I love my knicks and I think we got better and I am sure Donnie is not sleeping in his laurels.

smart pick, he adds length to a short team, more defensive oriented, also helps if Lee leaves and also helps if Lee stays as with the bad economy Lee won't be getting huge offers and the Knicks have Hill as leverage to sign Lee at their price rather than his. Tony Douglas was another good pick-up, possible steal? Ready for the season to start. GO NY, GO NY, GO!!!!

The Darko-for-Q trade: it does seem like yer trading one 'deadwood' for another but in the end, I guess we got a big on the cheap that can block shots. As for Hill and Douglas, we'll see..

is there some sort of cheese eating newsday rule that you have to write "the Knicks - who are owned by Cablevision, which owns Newsday" in every knicks article. enough already, we get the point.

I could not agree with you more, it is in every article. I am sure they are force to say that for some reason
