The Knicks are reportedly on the verge of waiving Bill Walker (gosh, I’ll miss him) and signing former Buck, Warrior and Net, Dan Gadzuric. Gadzuric, by virtue of having played in the league this year, will apparently be eligble for the playoff roster. This move suggests that Jared Jeffries’ knee… Read More →

In the 14 months since his much-ballyhooed arrival in Gotham, Carmelo Anthony has been labeled a franchise-savior, a ball-stopper, a scoring-savant, a coach-killer and hero-baller. If he keeps playing like he did last night against the Boston Celtics, it won’t much matter what anyone calls him anymore, because eventually, they’ll… Read More →

For three and a half quarters against the Miami Heat yesterday, the Knicks were in the game. And then, suddenly, they weren’t. New York (31-29) failed to capitalize on numerous opportunities and ultimately relied too heavily upon another stellar effort from Carmelo Anthony (42 points on 14-of-27 shooting, 9 rebounds, 5 assists… Read More →

The Empire State Building. The Statue of Liberty. The Brooklyn Bridge. Each an iconic New York institution with a style and grace all its own. And then there is Walt “Clyde” Frazier, whose name remains as synonymous with Gotham as it was nearly 40 years ago, when the Knicks last… Read More →

There are losses and then there are LOSSES, and when it comes to last night’s utter debacle against the Pacers in Indianapolis, the latter definitely applies. Luckily for you, a forthcoming feature requires my immediate attention, so I leave it to folks far more talented than I to bring you… Read More →

13 games. That is all that remains of this lockout-shortened season. 13 games for the New York Knicks (27-26) to clinch their second consecutive playoff birth. 13 games to crash and burn under the weight of injurious expectations. 13 games for one Brooklyn-born superstar to “do this.” Because “when you… Read More →

If it wasn’t for bad luck, Knicks fans surely wouldn’t have any luck at all. Just as things were finally looking up for the ‘Bockers (25-25), word broke late yesterday afternoon that Amar’e Stoudemire suffers from a bulging disc in his back (I am fairly certain the issue is, in… Read More →

Now that the reinvigorated Knicks (23-24) have played themselves back into playoff contention, it’s fair to wonder just how high they can climb before the regular season ends on April 26th. If the playoffs were to begin today, New York would be the Eastern Conference’s 8-seed, edging out the Milwaukee… Read More →

I recently had the chance to sit down—and by sit down, I mean email incessantly—with the great Jared Dubin of HP Basketball and Dan Litvin of The Knicks Fan Blog, and we talked about pretty much everything that has ever happened with the New York Knick franchise. If you’ve got… Read More →

It’s never a dull day when you cover the New York Knicks, but after practice yesterday, when Carmelo Anthony did his best to take the focus off of his team’s nascent winning ways, we officially reached a new level of incredulity. Per Newsday’s Kimberly A. Martin, Anthony said “I think… Read More →

Honesty. Accountability. Decency. These are the qualities which Mike D’Antoni brought to New York some three and a half years ago when he chose the Knicks – and James Dolan’s mighty checkbook – over the Chicago Bulls in search of the championship that had for so long eluded him in… Read More →

Rather than break down yesterday’s Nooner-disaster at Madison Square Garden – and considering the rapidly disintegrating Knick state of affairs – I thought readers of this blog would be far better served by a behind-the-scenes interpretation of everything that has been said of late. Coach Mike D’Antoni: We hit a… Read More →

Please tune in tonight at 9 p.m. as Seth Rosenthal of New York Magazine and SB Nation’s Posting and Toasting joins me to host a very special Spreecast! We will discuss all things Knicks – and lord knows there are virtually limitless [grotesque and hideous] topics to cover – and… Read More →

Of all the endless Twitter memes, ”#TooSoon?” is undoubtedly my favorite. Whether in reference to the latest celebrity overdose, political sex scandal, or even a tragic natural disaster, the phrase—only when used sans malice and with impeccable comedic timing—lends humor to what might otherwise be a negative, shocking or disturbing… Read More →
