Son of a Gun-ner!

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Patrick Ewing, Jr is a Knick. Frederick Weis, the worst draft pick in this generation of Knicks basketball that I am aware of, is finally gone. Today is a good day. Thanks to Paulnoize for breaking it here on Knicksdefense in the last post. I have not seen very much of Ew2's game, but ...

LeBronze turns into gold

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

The gold medal game against Spain was indeed some beautiful basketball to witness. Looks like Pau's brother Marc Gasol is going to be factor in the NBA when he laces them up for Memphis this season. They have different games, Marc seems more of a bruiser in contrast to Pau's ...

MSG may decide to ‘Marv Albert’ Gus Johnson?

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Apparently MSG announcer Gus Johnson's contract expired along with Isiah Thomas' tenure as coach and president of the New York Knicks as the 2007-2008 season came to its lackluster, depressing end. MSG and Mr. Johnson are now in discussions for a new contract. I wonder if emperor Dolan will make ...

2010: Who’s on first?

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

All right, they might not be saying the right things off the court, but TEAM USA is kicking ass this Olympics, and it is nice to see the U.S. back at the top of the rankings where they belong. Obviously Donnie Walsh is pulling some punches this offseason, not giving up ...

Miami officials “know” Knicks are keeping Marbury through season opener

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Believe it or not, some Knicks fans think New York should keep Stephon Marbury and make him play out the final year of his contract. Some of these people may have management's ear, because there are NBA teams acting as if Stephon will suit up in orange and blue in 2008-2009. Many ...

“Leaders” of Team USA put themselves up for sale on the global market

Monday, August 11th, 2008

The reports out of Beijing recently have on separate occasions quoted LeBron James and Kobe Bryant as saying they'd leave the NBA to play in Europe for the right price, somewhere in the vicinity of $50 million a year. Now before you tell me "who wouldn't," think about how much C.R.E.A.M. ...

H2MO’?

Friday, August 8th, 2008

H20/AH7/Allan Houston is making another comeback and this time he's getting a head start on preseason training and announcing said comeback. I would not be surprised if Jim Dolan again mandates a training camp try-out for AH7 (Jeffries is still a New York Knick at this moment so H20 is no ...

Happy Birthday to Knicks Defense

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

It has been one full year of having the pleasure of blogging with some of the sharpest basketball minds in cyberspace.  Thank you for reading and contributing to Knicks Defense.  It has been a blast.  I look forward to next season, which will hopefully--not definitely--bring improvement to our troubled Knicks. In ...

Renaldo

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Just reading the reactions on some of the other blogs to the Renaldo trade. Were we watching the same Renaldo? Yes, Renaldo was the best shot-blocker on the team. That's not saying much when you have Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph up front along with Quentin Richardson. Chandler could ...
