Black shoes!
The Knicks just took the floor in Continental in Jersey. The team is wearing black shoes. Welcome to the playoffs.
Update: Made it to the half, with the Knicks hanging around. I'm encouraged that NYK doesn't seem to be intimidated by the East coast champs. Might not make much of a difference when the series is over, but still good to see some resiliency. Halftime score: Nets 62, Knicks 55.
Update 2: Welp, the Knicks fell into what K and I lovingly referred to as the 'Second Half Suck.' Shooting went cold in the second half, with no Knicks scoring for the first 6:30 of the third quarter, giving the Nets the room to pull away. Interesting side note: There was a confrontation between Jason Kidd and Frank Williams, with Kidd ending up being called for a taunting technical. The MSG video crew noticed that while the (slight) dust-up was taking place, Nets guard Richard Jefferson stepped on to the court. Now as any Knick fan knows, there is a rule against doing that - half the damn team got suspended for doing just that against the Miami Heat a few years back. the Knicks are aware of the video, but haven't tipped their hand as to whether they'll petition the league to suspend Jefferson for a game. Stay tuned.
Knicks are down 22 with 30 seconds left. Oh, well... Final.: Nets 107, Knicks 83. Ugly.

Are the armbands next?

Armbands and shaved heads.
I'll never forget Oak with his head shaved. Skeery.

Too bad the Cavs had so many injuries at the end. They're MUCH better than the Knicks and would have made the playoffs more interesting! No justice!

I know what the Knicks need, a bunch of phantom fouls leading to 4 point plays that shouldn't actually happen.
Where's Larry Johnson when the Knicks need him?
:\

having a visa internet gambling site you can use can be very efficiant , instead of looking for one each time like most people do.

Jason,
I loved LJ - even though he was pretty much broken by the time the Knicks landed him.
I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that they'll get staemrolled by the Nets - but I consloe myself with the thought that they've actually got something to build from over the next few years. The last time anyone could say that was when they drafted Ewing.
