NEW YORK –By the close of business on Thursday, February 18, the New York Knicks had acquired a seven-time All-Star and two quality guards.  In the process, they had also saved enough money to add two premier free agents either this summer or next.
For now, however, it’s all about Tracy McGrady –or, more specifically, his [...]

NEW YORK – New York Knicks’ head coach Mike D’Antoni has a dream.
He hopes that Nate Robinson can keep playing the way his coach needs his diminutive but quick and energy-filled guard to play in order for the Knicks to win games.
So, in the spirit of that vision, it was somewhat fitting that [...]

NEW YORK – It was “”Italian Heritage Night” tonight at Madison Square Garden when the Knicks faced off against the Toronto Raptors. No, free pizza wasn’t handed out to the 19,763 fans in the arena but  with Andrea Bargnani and Marco Belinelli playing for the Raptors and Danilo Gallinari for New York, the night was [...]

UNIONDALE, NY – Last night’s game was not Glen Sather’s swan song. No, he’s not going anywhere and at times you have to think the Pope has less job security.

NEW YORK – As absurd as it would have sounded just a few weeks ago, it now makes total sense.
The Knicks were better off last season.
It was easy to be a Knick in 2008-09. No one expected any major improvements and when something went wrong, there was always the newly departed Isiah Thomas to blame. [...]

While the New York Yankees had their victory parade at City Hall  LeBron James had to wonder to himself “Wow, this could very well be me in a few years!”
It was very obvious the moment King James set foot on the Madison Square Garden for his first and only visit this year, MSG is [...]

Yes, the Knicks lost another game tonight. They did so by continuing to repeat the same season-long pattern of poor play in the first halves of games followed by frenetic, catch-up aggression in the second half to make final scores respectable. And, yes, they are still at a loss to figure out how to play [...]

You’ve heard the cliche many times before… You only have to watch the last few minutes of an NBA game.
Save that myth for the casual basketball fan.
Real basketball followers know that’s not always the case.
And, if you’ve watched the first four New York Knick games this season, you especially know what a huge difference getting [...]
