NERDSHAKE!

Absolutely the worst handshake in the history of the NBA, perhaps in all of sports. What’s your take?  Like it or hate it? Point us to one that’s worse, and we’ll post it here in the coming days.

“NOW” is More Than Just a Slogan.

Yes, the time IS now for the Knicks. They’ve played well in three consecutive games,  but have only one win to show for it.  That said, the signs are encouraging going forward.  They’ve looked like as cohesive a unit as they have all season long, and might have found someone to run the offense, at [...]

LIN-finite Wisdom

A quote from Mike D’Antoni after last night’s win over the Nets, talking about Jeremy Lin: “He played really well.  The biggest thing is, he’s got a point guard mentality.” D’Antoni’s quote is telling, and a little troubling at the same time.  It almost sounds as if the Knicks Head Coach just figured out that [...]

Is it Time?

Let’s start with this premise:  Mike D’Antoni does NOT deserve to be fired. That said, it’s starting to feel like it’s time for D’Antoni to be fired. Sounds ridiculous, right?  Well, that’s the position the Knicks find themselves in after back-to-back good performances against the Bulls and Celtics.  The problem?  They resulted in ZERO wins.

Opportunity Knocks for Knicks

Tonight shapes up as a pivotal game for the Knicks, as they reach the 1/3 mark of the 2011-2012 season. They play a very good Chicago Bulls team, at The Garden, coming off an encouraging performance against an admittedly undermanned Detroit Pistons team on Tuesday. It will be interesting to see if the Knicks can [...]

The Sky Is NOT Falling. Or Is It?

Sports fans are reactionary. “What have you done for me lately?” is what matters to most of us — you’re as good or as bad as you were during your last game. It’s an unfair way to analyze the Knickerbockers in light of their 91-81 loss vs. the Cavaliers last night in Cleveland.  Many of [...]

The Accidental Savior

The Knicks are in freefall, having lost six straight games and ten of sixteen, and everyone in Knicks Nation has a theory as to why. It’s Mike D’Antoni’s fault:  He’s an “offensive genius” that suddenly can’t get the Knicks’ offensive chemistry ironed out, with a lot of proven offensive firepower on the roster (Anthony, Stoudemire) [...]

Road Sweet Road?

There are times when you just need to get away. Whether it’s chasing better weather in the dead of winter, getting away from your intolerable boss for a few days, or leaving the stench of a six-game losing streak downwind, hitting the road has been known to do a lot of good. The Knicks start [...]

Melo, You Have a LOT to Prove

Athletes have a penchant for saying things they’ll later regret, particularly after frustrating losses.  Welcome to the club, Carmelo Anthony. In talking about tonight’s matchup with his former team, the Denver Nuggets, who invade The Garden for a nationally televised 7:30 tip-off, Melo said “Me, personally, I have nothing to prove in the game. I [...]
