D’AINTonio: Mike D’Antoni Not the Man for Knicks
Some experiments fail. It happens. You just need to admit defeat and not hold on to those missteps for too long. It’s come time to move on for the New York Knicks. Mike D’Antoni has coached this squad for 266 games. He’s won 110. Yes, there’s more to the story. But when you’re making six [...]
Dear Time Warner: Keep MSG and the Knicks Off the Air
I work a lot. I enjoy coming home, catching up with the Mrs., grabbing a bit to eat and, if I’m lucky, catching perhaps the last few minutes of a Knicks game. That “luxury” is now gone due to the rift between Time Warner Cable and MSG. At first, this bothered me. Now, my view [...]
Kyle Lowry Rocketing to Fast Start in Houston
Quick…name the point guard with the best all-around stats in the NBA through five games. Here’s a few hints. He’s tops in the league averaging 11.0 assists/game through five ahead of mega-stars like Rose, Paul and Rondo. His 7.0 RPG and 9.9/40M is best among all NBA guards. He similarly occupies the league leader position [...]
Tyson Chandler acquisition huge for Knicks
It’s official. Tyson Chandler is a New York Knick. And while the hype about Chris Paul was and still is intoxicating, a shot of Chandler is exactly what the doctor ordered for the Knicks. EXACTLY. I’m actually a bit surprised the media isn’t making a bit of a bigger deal about it. Maybe it’s just [...]
Baron Davis Signs with Knicks: What Can Fans Expect?
The Knicks have officially inked Baron Davis to a one-year deal for $2.5 million. That’s pretty much all I’m willing to commit to as fairly solid information at this point. Oh yes, and the fact that he’s 32 years old and has logged 167 missed missed during his 12-year NBA career. Beyond that, the rest [...]
Remembering Roy: Farewell Flashback to 2011 Game Four Takeover
Brandon Roy called it quits last week due to degenerative knees that have sapped his explosiveness. For a casual NBA fan, he’s a guy I’ll miss. A team player who let his game do the talking. Respected. Young. A dynamic player and still-rising star only a few seasons ago. At his peak, Roy was the [...]
Marvin Gaye Getting Knicks Fans in the Mood…for Hoops
I need a Jets playoff run. The sports landscape is getting a little tired for CS right now. My patience for Chris Paul news, Mets’ signings and interviews between Kevin Burkhart and Jose Reyes with the latter donning his Miami Marlins jersey and hat (the horror!) simply aren’t doing it. So, I’m looking for Rexy [...]
NBA Lockout Nipping Knicks Relevance in Bud
The NBA is going to lose its season. It’s about to disappear because the owners are high-powered gabillionaires used to getting their way, and the players are too arrogant/ignorant/stubborn to realize said fact. Instead, they’re going to say adios to a year of salary that none of them will ever get back. This will hurt [...]
Duran-tula Loose In Harlem
It is likely that many of you have already seen this video, it’s gone viral.***Sidenote, isn’t “gone viral” a terrible term to describe something that has made it big on the internet? I don’t want anything viral to have anything to do with my computer. Last I heard, viruses are bad for computers.**** I think [...]
Dear Mom: Sorry to Break This to You…
So…ummm…mom…I didn’t know how to break this to you. This venue seems about as good as any. Yes, mother, that’s Kevin Durant. Those are his tattoos. Oh, and one last thing, it doesn’t change anything. So, where am I going with all this? Let me see, because as I compose this I’m not exactly sure. [...]
