You mean FrankenSanta. No work for me 2mrw!
Same here.. **** completely sucked.. Im fully prepared and expecting to lose power this time around as well. Stocked up on all kinds of ****.. But like Starks said at least no work tomorrow so there's thatI never lost my power for more then a few hours until hurricane Irene back in late August of 2011. Since then I've lost my power 4 times for at least a day, this will most likely be number 5. More importantly there's lives at stake here and i hope everybody along the eastcoast shoreline has safely evacuated. I also hope the Hudson River doesnt reverse, we might not have a Knicks game at home for a while
Hurricane Sandy has knocked out Monday's Knicks 11 a.m. practice in Tarrytown. Several Knicks, including Jason Kidd, Kurt Thomas and Carmelo Anthony, live in Manhattan and had too many obstacles in getting to upper Westchester.
Sandy couldn't have come at a worse time for coach Mike Woodson, who viewed these last few days of practice as vital for their preparations with the season opener Thursday in Brooklyn vs. the Nets followed by Friday's home opener vs. the defending champion Miami Dream Team.
Rotation players J.R. Smith, Marcus Camby, Rasheed Wallace, Ronnie Brewer and Amar'e Stoudemire combined to play just four preseason games. Stoudemire is the lone player definitely out for the opener. In one sense, the day off could benefit Tyson Chandler (knee bone bruise) and Camby (calf strain).
However, Woodson viewed these final days as key to establishing oncourt chemistry and developing teamwork. Tuesday's practice could be in jeopardy, too, as projections are the hurricane growing worse.
Sunday, after the Knicks practiced at the Garden for the first time all preseason, Woodson said, "I was telling (the PR staff) to get cots because I still want to practice regardless. Some guys are closer to the facility. My concern is guys in the city making sure they give themselves enough time to get to (Tarrytown).??
Kidd joked, ?Coach said no matter what we?re having practice tomorrow, if you have to swim to get there, you have to get there,?? said Kidd.
Carmelo Anthony was more realistic Sunday.
?I don?t take nothing for granted,?? Melo said. ?I?m scared of Sandy. Just hearing of New York having a hurricane, it doesn?t sound right. I?m not one to play with Mother Nature. I?m staying in. I?m not coming out.??
No matter how bad Sandy is it will never reach the scale of what you guys in Asia and the Pacific experience with those Tsunami's. So far as of Monday noon in NY it has not hit so we got a day off for nothing and if it hits late today/tomorrow we will probably get another day off.
That's BS about them cancelling today's practice, the weather wasn't bad enough for them to cancel it and if the guys that live in Manhatten didn't want to drive up there they could have gotten a car service. The practice facility is only about a 40 minute drive from Manhattan. Don't expect a practice tomorrow if they don't today. I think a reason for Woody wanting these practices before opening day is to see if he can get Rasheed into the mix with Amare out, I don't think that's going to happen now, I doubt Woody runs a full practice a day before opening day.
Bro you are really buggin, have you taken a look outside? And I live in Queens, it must be crazy right now in Manhattan.No matter how bad Sandy is it will never reach the scale of what you guys in Asia and the Pacific experience with those Tsunami's.

Nope I'm hard core. I remember staying in the city, company put me up in a hotel during the blackout and a snowstorm and I don't make the kind of money Melo or Kidd make.^ If you were in their shoes I doubt you would've done much differently.. I wouldnt have at least.. Hurricane = A day off for my ass lol
