Edgar Allan Poe Knicks Update: The Lockout

Poe is unhappy about the 2011 NBA lockout.

"A preaseason sold at a regular season price,
Where was the lockout when we had McDyess?
The Knicks year ended in Phoenix that day.
It could end there again if the Suns have their way.

In a house built with Kevin Johnson's bricks,
A team that can't afford their own draft picks,
They don't have the money of our NY team,
Just spend what you have, it worked for Billy Beane.

But it's not fair, says Stern, for only great cities to win,
Everyone gets a chance like 2nd grade gym,
And it's not like the fans like great teams in great towns,
They'd rather Melo in Charlotte, rebounding missed dunks from Kwame Brown.

Yet, there's still one straight shooter who'll pay the BRI at 53,
He's been paying cash for clunkers since 1993,
Hold firm, Mr. Dolan, you've got the right idea,
These are NBA stars, not futons from Ikea."
