Well, at least all the drama is across the river for a change.  I have always thought, and said so earlier in a blog here, that Kidd has received far too considerate treatment for sports writers around here.  True, he puts up great numbers and teams generally get better after he joins them, but they […]

Steph, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Be well.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Road loss to defending Eastern champs Cleveland and home victory to young, rebuilding t-wolves.  I’ll take 1-1 right now and there were certainly positives to be taken from both.  However, some familiar problems from last year apparently haven’t been rectified.  Team defense, mainly defending the 3 point line has been, and continues to be a […]
