Great news from the Knicks! Tyson Chandler and Kenyon Martin definitely won’t play Thursday against the Bulls. Marcus Camby is doubtful. Why is this great news? Am I a secret Bulls fan? Have a vendetta against guys who tap-back rebounds and take great photos? Not at all. I am thrilled… Read More →
This is as much for me as it is for you. In light of the revelation this morning that Tyson Chandler’s bulging disc is acting up again, Kenyon Martin’s knee is still a problem, and Marcus Camby is out with his season-long foot injury, I thought an audit of the… Read More →
It is easy to watch the Knicks as they appeared on Sunday, a deeply flawed team in a 93-80 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, and conclude they need a quick fix. Carmelo Anthony can’t come back soon enough. Tyson Chandler needs to play through pain. They need a talent… Read More →
You can consider me a skeptic of the idea that Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire were best-served by playing together as often as possible. Stoudemire, for most of his career, existed in the same offensive space, and position, that Anthony has exploited during his absence to the greatest success of… Read More →
Good morning! If you are reading this on your home computer, you have more power than I do. Congratulations! Hug your thermostat. In a little while, I will begin my trek into Manhattan, to make sure I am at Madison Square Garden in plenty of time to provide you with… Read More →
Going into this Knicks’ season, very little was understood as a constant. Would point guard play improve with Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd and Pablo Prigioni? Would the Knicks cobble together reasonable production from shooting guard between J.R. Smith, Ronnie Brewer and Iman Shumpert? Is Carmelo Anthony a 3? A 4?... Read More →
thought he should have been the Defensive Player of the Year in 2011-12. Maybe this was just force of habit: Howard had won the previous three seasons. Still, Howard is way off on this one. Tyson Chandler, ever the intelligent interview taking the high road, smiled and declined to comment…. Read More →
Marcus Camby has been out with a calf injury, but told reporters yesterday that he plans to return to practice on Tuesday. Briefly, why is this such a big deal? Tyson Chandler, reigning Defensive Player of the Year, had a Player Efficiency Rating of 18.7 in 2011-12. He played slightly… Read More →
If I had a nickel for every solution to the Knicks’ woes that has been offered up since last Wednesday night’s playoff ouster, I would probably have a lot of nickels. Breaking down New York’s dysfunctional basketball team has become an annual rite of sorts, and the perspectives are as… Read More →
And so it comes down to this. The New York Knicks. The Miami Heat. And really, would you want it any other way? The Knicks (36-30), by virtue of their victory tonight against the historically dreadful Charlotte Bobcats – the outcome of the affair was actually rendered moot when the… 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 →
On a night when one Knick legend returned home to bask in a seemingly endless chorus of fan-adoration, one current Knick – and legend-to-be, perhaps, but at present, but a legend in his own mind – demonstrated exactly what he’s capable of when his intensity and heart match his copious… 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 →
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 →
Unless you’re one of the lucky few Knicks season ticket holders invited to last night’s Subscriber Forum, you missed out on some quality shenanigans. Thankfully, LoHud Knicks fan Paul Lee submitted this first hand account of what went down: Last night, the Knicks held their annual Season Subscriber Forum at… Read More →
