After getting a day of rest, the Knicks will be on the practice court tomorrow fine tuning in advance of the opener.

So after watching them in the preseason and seeing the drastic changes Mike D’Antoni has implemented, are you more or less confident?

The adjustment is going to continue right on into the regular season.

Did you [...]

We’re chasing a story involving former Knicks president and coach Isiah Thomas. Here’s the latest version from our LoHud.com website:

PURCHASE -Former New York Knicks coach and NBA legend Isiah Thomas has been admitted to White Plains Hospital, a police [...]

Waiting to sign David Lee and Nate Robinson to contract extensions really makes a lot of sense. It’s a move that could end up costing the Knicks more in the long run, but Donnie Walsh needs to see where this might be going before he starts throwing money at the problem.

And it’s nice to see [...]

I beg to differ.

Mike D’Antoni wants the Knicks to give an honest effort on the defensive end. Great. That’s a big part of the equation because it’s hard to score 150 points in this league.

I know we’re not supposed to read into the lineup changes.

Still, how do you preach stops then create mismatches all over [...]

Wanna bet the Nets are open to dealing Vince Carter and Stromile Swift for Stephon Marbury?

Stop thinking.

I’m just making a point from the recliner while this game drags on.  Knicks fans might’ve jumped at the deal two years ago, but this new direction changes that kind of backward thinking.

Wilson Chandler is the preseason MVP.

I’m not [...]

If you want to get a sample of what the Knicks go through in practice, the doors at the will be open at Pace University in Pleasantville on Sunday at 10 a.m.

First come, first served.

The open practice is a yearly tradition and features the Knicks City Dancers and Knicks City Kids in action. I doubt [...]

So are you going to MSG to check out the Knicks?

Have you overdosed on optimism?

I’m thinking most of the faithful are going to reserve judgement. Does anybody remember when Larry Brown showed up? How about when Isiah Thomas was ordered to the bench?

Neither one earned the respect they were immediately granted.

My flight back from Cleveland [...]

I’m back in Cleveland to do Monday Night Football, and just came in from the airport.

LeBron James still adorns the larger-than-life banner across from The Q with arms outstretched. Witness. And just in case anybody is wondering, he was still in a Cleveland jersey.

It makes you wonder exactly what Nike might unveil if their poster [...]

So what do you think of Chris Duhon right now?

The lesson here is to be patient and let the season unfold. It’s silly to slot anybody into the rotation until everybody is up to speed. We might be a month away from that point.

Duhon isn’t going to contribute 19 points a game, which is fine.

I [...]

So did the Knicks make a good first impression?

All things considered, it wasn’t a chore to stay tuned in throughout. I only clicked away during commercial breaks. The effort seemed plenty genuine, although some of the defensive rotations were half-hearted late in the game when the legs were gone. It’s something that will improve as [...]
