"The Knicks with a healthy Ewing".  What a concept!  He hasn't been healthy
for a few years now.  Even when he's "healthy", Ewing is barely more mobile
than Rik Smits.  If Ewing were healthy through the playoffs, the Knicks would 
have lost to Indiana as Camby and Sprewell would never had a chance to take
over that series.  

If Ewing were healthy, and playing against the Spurs, the Knicks would likely 
have lost by more.  If the Knicks offense last night looked pathetic, imagine 
them playing their typical "let's give it to Patrick down low and watch the shot 
clock expire as he shoots another fallaway prayer" game.  I can't.
