First of all, welcome Patrick. I am not even going to begin attacking your first post, just because I am so happy to have a bit of a distraction.  Oh wait, yes I am.  You seem to think the only thing that needs changing is a shotblocker/enforcer and that nothing is wrong with the defense?  That’s the […]

Maybe I should go home for Thanksgiving more often, as the Knicks won back to back games for the first time in well over a decade (or something like that, look, I don’t have a fact checker or statman, so I can’t swear to that one, but I think it’s true.)  That’s right Chicago and […]

Welcome everyone. I’m not a new blogger but I honestly have been swamped by work (some of which involves blogging for the Giants) and I’ve finally freed up some time. Just some random thoughts involving the state of the Knicks. A few notes before I begin: 1) I am eternally optimistic so some of my […]

Well, another game, another blowout loss to a not very good team, golden state in this case. After watching local media talk about how terrible the Knicks are and how well the Yankees have taken care of business so far, I am again troubled by the longterm damage Isiah is almost singlehandedly doing to […]

So, moving forward. Thanks to Jamie for his previous, very thoughtful post…now back to the business at hand. 6 and a half left on the road to a pretty poor Sacramento team, tie game. The Knicks have shown some heart in this game, unfortunately only when they had to, when their backs […]

A few days ago I was telling a friend that I was on the verge of writing a scathing, nasty e-mail to my colleagues and other friends about their lack of participation on this site. I was prepared to question the level of commitment to my own professional success my friends have in me. I […]

Here is a list of things the Knicks need to do to make me write a post that is actually real:
1. Shut the hell up and play basketball
2. Force Eddy Curry to be a basketball player with hustle and heart, not a large man who stands under the basket and occasionally does something that mildly […]

I’ve decided to just ignore Florida.  I don’t like the state much to begin with and after the Orlando and Miami games that sank the Knicks below .500 with Phoenix and the Clips on deck, it may be best not to dwell on how the Knicks self destructed in the same tired, old ways.  Granted, […]

on D that is!  First the positives, of which there are many!  Great game against the Nuggets last night.  For those of you who missed it, you not only missed an exciting, come from behind (twice!) victory, but some fantastic performances complemented by a whole lot of solid ones.  Zach, welcome to New York, sure […]

Unlike last year’s meeting at the Garden with Denver, the fight the Knicks showed was all about Basketball, not about JR Smith.
Last night’s impressive come-from-behind, Seabiscuit-like vitory stood out for a number of reasons, but most of all, Zeke’s (we’re friends now) eight man rotation proved to be the recipe for success. Championship caliber teams […]
