Knicks Defense

This is not your previous year’s New York Knicks.
Here we are, 20% of the season already gone. Two major trades that sent our top two scorers out west and in return we received only two healthy bodies and some cap space to be used at some point down the road.
Here we are, 8-8, hovering [...]

This one could get ugly unless Mike D’Antoni figures out how to get his short-handed Knicks to win a basketball game.
Just staying competitive would be an improvement upon the previous two outings…

Thursday is Thanksgiving.
I am thankful for the opportunity Mr. Walsh has given the Knicks to come back from the dead.
From a dreadful coach to a true visionary.
From a coach that would never play Chandler to one that starts him.
From a me-first point guard to a “my job is to win basketball games” point guard.
Moved an [...]

I’m not going to change my point of view on this most recent Marbury defiance, but I’ve read on the Knicks blogosphere that the Knicks are doing Marbury dirty.
Maybe they have a point.
I’m just sick and tired of the guy and all his selfish baggage and wish for his tenure as a knick to come [...]

When given the opportunity to play last night, Malik Rose stepped up and showed us what a true professional he is, as he did what he could for the New York Knicks in a losing effort.  Sure, he shot some awkard three point shots that didn’t have a chance in hell of going in (the [...]

The Awakening of Intelligence.
It is official.  As of right now, the roster has been radically altered for the New York Knicks, with their two leading scorers being shipped out for cap space down the road.
Gone are the two gunners, Jamal Crawford and Zach Randolph and gone also is reserve Mardy Collins.
In their place are new [...]

Didn’t he suck badly enough the first time he was a Knick?
He’s not going to be adding interior D.  Yes, he can hit a three point shot once a game, but…
I don’t know what this team will look like once the smoke clears from these rumor bombshells.
Stay tuned…

I’m writing from work, not a place where I have time to do a full write-up, but apparently Peter Vescey is reporting the deal with Malik Rose being sent out and Harrington once again playing for Donnie Walsh.
The irony is multi-layered.  Isiah Thomas went after Harrington for years during his tenure as president of basketball [...]

Could it be, old Donnie Walsh could have told Jr. not to go to Europe or any place else should a roster spot suddenly free up?
I just might start to like Roberson again if Ewing Jr. came back aboard team resurgence.
