Mapping out the preseason
-
- August
- 14
Just in case you need to start counting down the days until the Knicks preview their double-wide lineup that’s likely to include Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph, here is the schedule for the upcoming preseason:
Oct. 8 Knicks at Sixers Colonial Center, Columbia, S.C. 7 p.m.
Oct. 11 Maccabi Tel Aviv at Knicks MSG 7 p.m.
Oct. 17 Knicks at Celtics TD Banknorth Garden 7:30 p.m.
Oct. 18 Knicks at Nets Continental Airlines Arena, 7:30 p.m.
Oct. 22 Celtics at Knicks MSG 7:30 p.m.
Oct. 24 Sixers @ Knicks MSG 7:30 p.m.
Oct. 26 Nets @ Knicks MSG 7:30 p.m.
The Knicks will be heading for training camp in Charleston, S.C. after they get done with Media Day festivities Oct. 1, and will stop by Renaldo Balkman’s old stomping grounds before heading north.
It’s not a homecoming arranged by the Knicks. The Colonial Center is managed by a subsidiary of Comcast-Spectator, which also owns the Sixers.
The preseason is normally such a yawn that most of us write our stories before the games tip off and plug in a final score. I would bet Isiah Thomas will be anxious to see how the Knicks line up against Boston and New Jersey, so those games will have some added intrigue.

Is it August 28th yet. The wait is killing me.
Thanks for trying Mike, but there is NOTHING to talk about. As a Pro basketball fan, August through September is the most boring time for basketball news. Nothing of interest is happening and we have 75 days until opening night. This is terrible. Why, you might call this “the least wonderful time of the year.” This reminds me of a song.
(to the most wonderful time of the year)
It the least wonderful time of the year.
With no Knick games playing
and Knick fans all saying,
“We’ll be good this year.”
It’s the least wonderful time of the year.
It’s the crap-crappiest time of them all.
Pre-season football is boring
and baseball ball leaves me snoring
deep into the fall.
There are no draft stories brewing
no free agent doings
no new trades to read about.
Just a harassment lawsuit.
Filed by one who’s not cute.
I hope the judge will just throw it out.
It’s the least wonderful time of the year.
Hey Mike, I hope that at least for this upcoming pre-season, you won’t write the blogs for the games before tip-off.
