Was Carmelo Worth It?

Since Carmelo Anthony showed up at the doorstep of The World’s Most Famous Arena on February 21st, the Knicks have been as mediocre as it gets; they are 12-12 since his arrival. To most Knick fans, a .500 record is something to brag about, as there hasn’t been good basketball in The City since Jeff [...]

Knicks Try to End Years of Futility Against the Lakers

The New York Knicks have opened 2011 on a three-game winning streak — including a convincing home win against the league-best Spurs — and head into LA to take on the Lakers Sunday night.

Knicks Keep Rollin’

Break up the Knicks!   Surviving a torrid stretch of early game shooting by the Timberwolves (93.3% on 14/15 FGM, yes that’s the actual number), the Knicks secured their fifth straight victory on Monday night.  They are off to their best start to a season since the 2000-01 campaign and have been a completely different team [...]

Giving Thanks Part II: New York Knicks

In the spirit of the recent Thanksgiving Holiday I would like to highlight all the things I’m thankful for as a Knicks fan so far this season. The Newcomers Who needs Lebron?

California Dreamin’

The California sunshine certainly did the Knicks some good.  Closing out their west coast swing with three straight important victories, they’ll have to be a little disappointed to leave the sunshine state.  Defense aside, the offensive display in the last three games has been a sight for sore eyes.  In the first quarter of the [...]

Lack of Consistency Plagues Knicks and Nets

Critics and fans alike will always try and search for the winning formula towards achieving team success.  Is it the development of a young core of players through the draft like the Oklahoma City Thunder?  Is it acquiring the best talent available and hoping chemistry develops along the way like the Miami Heat?  Or is [...]

Knicks’ Struggles Continue; Lose Their Fifth Straight

We join the New York Knicks at halftime of their Sunday night contest against the Houston Rockets at Madison Square Garden. Houston leads 58-52, and has used a porous Knicks defense to counter every run the home team puts together. Before we begin a running diary of the second half, let’s look at some brief [...]
