There is no denying that the Knicks have amped things up on the defensive end, hovering between a top 10 and top 15 defensive squad through the first thirteen games of the young NBA season.Tyson Chandler's presence has been key, helping propel the Knicks to victory due to their defensive effort a few times already this season. What's more, with former Hawks coach Mike Woodson on the bench, and Carmelo Anthony committing to clamp down on defense all throughout the lockout, it's safe to say an elevated defense has certainly become the expectation from Knicks' brass.MSG Network's Alan Hahn notes in the clip above that as the Knicks' defense has improved, their personnel has also changed, so much so, that they have no longer been able to spread the floor on offense effectively. The likes of Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, and Shawne Williams were utilized to spread the floor last season, knocking down corner threes as well as drawing out to defenders in order ...

New York Knicks Drop Close Game Against Phoenix, 91-88

Via Rant Sports  |  January 19, 2012
The New York Knicks are having an up and down season to say the least. Wednesday night, the Knicks took on the Phoenix Suns at home as head coach Mike D’Antoni and forward Amare Stoudemire both welcomed Steve Nash on the floor before the game. The Knicks should have taken the game more seriously as they fell 91-88 against the Suns. Good Amare Stoudemire had a pretty good game...

Knicks a losing team with Melo

Via True Hoop Blog  |  January 17, 2012
It’s not complicated. Since the celebrated Carmelo Anthony trade 11 months ago, the New York Knicks have won 20 regular-season games and lost 21. That doesn’t sound so great, but it gets worse: The Knicks also lost four straight in the playoffs, winning none. The Knicks didn’t get Chris Paul. Many fans and observers believed getting Melo put the Knicks closer...

Thank You Garden of Dreams

Via Beer Mug Sports  |  January 18, 2012
This is what you get for $850 million dollars??? Madison Square Garden spent $850 million dollars to renovate the joint, and after taking a leak to drain myself of the $10 Blue Moon's they now serve, I get a broken soap dispenser and a sink with no running water. It was bad enough that I had to watch the Knicks lose to the Phoenix Suns, who had dropped five straight before...

Steve Nash to New York is just six months away

Via Ball Don't Lie  |  January 18, 2012
Steve Nash and the New York Knicks might be after each other this summer, when Nash becomes a free agent. And they'll probably agree to a deal with each other. I might as well write the post about it right now. You know how you have that one friend that just seems destined for things? Not great things, but … "things?" That they'll follow up a long weekend full...

That was quick. Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that Jeremy Lin is headed for a stint with the Erie Bayhawks, along with Jerome Jordan. Lin apparent failed to impress the Knicks' front office with his 1.8 PPG in five appearances, and with Baron Davis' return looming, Lin looks like a long shot to return. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.More »

Steve Nash Defends Mike D’Antoni

Via SLAM Online  |  January 19, 2012
As the New York Knicks’ slide in the standings continues, head coach Mike D’Antoni’s seat only becomes hotter. But according to Steve Nash, who the Knicks are rumored to be chasing next summer, it’s not all his former coach’s fault that the Knicks are awful. Per ZagsBlog: “The Knicks (6-8) have dropped four straight, with their latest loss coming...

After loss, D’Antoni says Knicks in ‘crisis’

Via The New York Post  |  January 19, 2012
The only solace to another horrific Garden evening is maybe Steve Nash will be doing this for the Knicks next season and not against them. Sore-wristed Carmelo Anthony could not have been more awful and Amar’e Stoudemire wasn’t much better. Anthony did not speak afterward. A team official...
