It’s a good thing New Yorkers have the NFC Champion Giants to keep them distracted, because when it comes to the Knicks, these are dark times. Completely erasing the goodwill reserved by Tuesday night’s blowout victory in Charlotte (see, I knew that abberration didn’t warrant my typical effort), Mike D’Antoni’s… Read More →
The New York Knicks destroyed the Charlotte Bobcats last night, but since it was the Bobcats, there is absolutely no meaningful analysis that can be gleaned from the affair. That six-game losing streak is history, and Baron Davis may or may not make his long-awaited debut in the Knick… Read More →
Just when Carmelo Anthony buried the hatchet with one adversary, he seemed to discover that he might actually be his own worst enemy. Minutes after the Knicks’ brutal double-OT loss to the Denver Knuggets on Saturday night, an unusually candid ‘Melo for the first time admitted publicly that a self-evaluation… Read More →
Time really must fly when you’re having fun, because I was shocked to discover that it’s been over nine months since we last sat down with Knicks’ legend Walt “Clyde” Frazier — or more specifically, his Twitter alter ego, @NotWaltFrazier. Clyde was eager to share his views on the no-luck… Read More →
I wasn’t in attendance last night, but rumor has it that by the end of the Knicks’ latest debacle – this time against the previously winless-on-the-road Milwaukee Bucks – the audible groans from the MSG-faithful had morphed into full blown “FIRE D’ANTONI!” chants. Now, far be it from me to… Read More →
Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, tomorrow! You’re only a Davis away! The woes continued for the Knicks (6-8) last night night as the [previously] dreadful Phoenix Suns came to town to remind Mike D’Antoni of what it’s like to run his offensive system with a real point guard. Making matters… Read More →
The New York Knicks have a dream. A dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of an NBA Championship shall be revealed,... Read More →
(Jamie is snowboarding somewhere in Vermont, so filling in today is the esteemed Jared Dubin of Hardwood Paroxysm and Outside the Arc) If you thought the Knicks couldn’t possibly play worse than they did a couple nights ago against the Memphis Grizzlies, well… you were wrong. New York (6-6) got… Read More →
Sometimes, an NBA team mails it in. And sometimes, so do the writers who cover that team. This, is one of those times. WHAT WENT RIGHT: Nothing WHAT WENT WRONG: Everything KNICK KNACKS: Carmelo Anthony isn’t a huge fan of vacationing in Tennessee, as he sustained a sprained right ankle… Read More →
There is no such thing as a bad win in the NBA, but the phrase “winning-ugly” may soon find itself etched on the Knicks’ locker room dry-erase board. New York (6-4) nailed down its fourth victory in-a-row last night, besting division-rival Philadelphia in an intense, physical affair that should quiet critics of Mike… Read More →
Anyone who’s anyone remembers where it all got started for Hollywood A-lister, Johnny Depp, but despite industry insiders’ best-efforts to keep things under wraps, this blog has recently learned that New York Knicks rookie PG Iman Shumpert is close to an agreement to play the lead role in a forthcoming-reboot of… Read More →
Try, try again, Knickerbockers. It wasn’t exactly a “something’s gotta give” game, with New York (5-4) riding a two-game winning streak and Charlotte having lost two straight since upsetting the Knicks in MSG last Wednesday, but it was an important test nonetheless. And in the end, on a night when… Read More →
To everyone’s great dismay, I won’t always be covering weekend road games, but in my stead, I bring you these fantastic other options for your Knicks news: 1. KNICKS VISION. Dan and his team do a great job on all things Knicks. If a basketball team scored 38 points a… Read More →
At this point in the Knicks’ sluggish start to the season, a win is a win is a win. At least, that’s what the box score says. In truth, New York (3-4) was extremely fortunate last night to have escaped the nation’s capital without an “L,” as the now 0-7… Read More →
Per Ian Begley of ESPN, Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni is giving serious consideration to inserting rookie-sensation Iman Shumpert into the starting lineup, perhaps as soon as this Friday when the team travels to Washington to face the 0-6 Wizards. “I think you do consider it,’’ D’Antoni said of starting Shumpert….
