Shumpert rookie recap
Commissioner Stern announced the pick “and with the 17th pick in the 2011 NBA draft the New York Knicks select Iman Shumpert”. Angered Knicks fans started booing and then the camera cut to Spike Lee who had a look of shock on his face and sat down in disgust of the pick. It turns out, [...]

It was a tragic first day of the playoffs and the basketball gods tore up the knees of Derrick Rose and Iman Shumpert. I am scared that they might have seriously damaged a hall of fame career with Rose. I said last year at this time that Rose had the potential to become the best [...]

Today in Atlanta was the a formula for what Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire need to look like on the floor together and further proof that the two can coexist in the Knicks starting lineup. Stoudemire looked like a completely different player today. Stat was very efficient, shooting 9-for-13 from the field and getting his [...]

Carmelo Anthony was the definition of clutch today against the league leading Bulls in a 100-99 win. He hit the big 3-pointer to tie it at the end of regulation after Rose bricked two free throws and then he hit the big one at the end of overtime to win it. I’ve said it before, [...]

The New York Knicks sit at 17-18 on the season (11-10 in the Atlantic) and are currently on pace to be the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs, one spot ahead of the Celtics. The goal in the second half is to get up into that three or four seed to avoid having to [...]

After losing nine out of the last ten games and watching the season record fall to 7-13, there are a lot of questions in the Big Apple about the Knicks. The sky may or may not be falling in New York but my confidence in the team is still high despite this seasons early disaster. [...]
