Welcome to my blog on sports rumblings. I’ll start today with my excitement over the start of the basketball season. With the Jets getting off to a rough start, it’s nice to have other options to keep up with. That’s not to say I’ve given up on the Jets, just like having options.

My excitement for the basketball season is somewhat lessened by the slow start by the Knickerbockers. They’re now 0-2 to start the season after losing to the Washington Wizards. I mean, come on, these are the Bullets. Living out here in Denver, CO, I read a lot of the NY papers like www.nynewsday.com and www.nypost.com for my fill of NY sports. So, I’ve been doing my reading and most reporters note that Larry Brown teams usually have a tough time getting started in year 1. Getting to watch the game today I realize why there is excitement in NY over the Knicks. With Marbury at the point and Curry manning the paint, and some good young talent, we have a good combination. The question is how long will it take for them to mesh and will it be too late to make the playoffs? That seams to be the popular question out there. What I will say is, if the Knicks jell and make the playoffs, they have the talent to do some damage. Ok, maybe I’m a little confident in the Knicks. Then again, why shouldn’t I be, isn’t that what sports is about?!

Well, I’m off. Until next time, keep watching.
