You Read That Right: Yes, New York, There Is A Knicks Team*

New feature I just devise: Any sports story that's completely out of the ordinary is going to be tagged "You Read That Right."

For the inaugural post, to the surprise of everyone, including the team and their fans, the New York Knicks are on a three-game winning streak. A team that hadn't won ten games prior to this streak now winning three in a row is a bit extraordinary. That's with Stephon Marbury going down with bone spurs in his ankle, which he says will require surgery. It's almost sad, because the Knicks had become the running joke in town. What will New Yorkers complain about now?

And the Knicks finally winning has brought attention to another disaster called the Miami Heat, which as of a Wednesday night 30-point blowout to the Chicago Bulls has now lost its 11th game in a row. That's with Shaq and D Wade both scoring 24 points apiece, but virtually no bench scoring compared to the Bulls. Another team that needs to make moves, and soon, or they might need to change their name to the Miami Ice.
