With the injury to Stoudemire, I threw a few ideas out on twitter about players that the Knicks should look at to help cover potential long term issues with Stoudemire’s body. I know the Knicks have Wallace in the wings but there is no timetable for him hitting the court, Copeland after having a rough first game vs. the Wizards has done absolutely nothing wrong and is proving to be a handful on the offensive end of the floor.
Copeland has come off the bench and has had his success vs. 2nd and 3rd unit players during this pre-season, but that is all we need during the season. He needs to get a bit more aggressive on the defensive end more, in regards to his rebounding, but apart from that I don’t see many things I don’t like.
The 2 games Copeland has stood out in the most have come against our biggest rival in the Atlantic the Boston Celtics. If you look at Copeland’s statistics in the 2 games versus the Celtics he has had played 55 minutes scored 55 points. He is shooting 17 f...

Knicks fall to Sixers, 98-90
In order to avoid falling asleep during this game, I took notes. I’ll just write on here the notes I took and then I’ll elaborate on them.“Ronnie Brewer airball” Yeah that was disgusting.“Steve ‘Swaggy P’ Novak” Novak was playing exactly like Nick Young of the Sixers tonight. He took a gross three off a dribble, but then hit one off the dribble a few possessions later...

The New York Knicks need Stoudemire to be healthy for them to be a serious contender this year, but where is the best place for him in the lineup? Not to only get the best out of him as a player, but also to help the Knicks other key pieces.
I love statistics and numbers don’t lie, they don’t capture everything but they definitely paint a picture based on facts. I was...

Knicks: Carmelo Anthony Assumes Power Forward Position
With Stoudemire out, Carmelo Anthony now likely assumes the power forward position against the Brooklyn Nets, and beyond. Stoudemire will be nursing the rupture of a cyst in his left knee reportedly for the next 2-3 weeks.
It is the same knee that sidelined Stoudemire for majority of the 2005-06 season with Phoenix.
Anthony who commented simply, “. . .I played it last year”....

Preseason game 5… Melo’s return to Cuse
3 Thoughts immediately after watching this game:
1. I was disappointed with the Knicks in the first half of this game tonight. They started off with a good open to the game, but after that the Knicks offense was stagnate. Guys were taking bad shots and poor ball movement mixed with absent transition defense lead to what...

As the 1st quarter of the Knicks/Celtics pre-season game wound down Saturday, Mike Breen said, “It sounds simple: Ball Movement. But, it is really is the key to success on the offensive end”. Mike could not have been more right. The teams you see win rings are the ones that move the ball. Elite teams like Boston, Miami, and Chicago have unselfish players. Since the Melo trade...

October 23, 2012
Amar’e Stoudemire, New York Knicks Center-Forward, may actually be fortunate to have suffered a ruptured popliteal cyst this week, though it will keep him out of action for at least two to three weeks. What is more worrisome than this new wrinkle is whether any of the knee diagnoses Stoudemire has dealt with in the past are more of an issue than the Knicks are aware of or are letting...

Felton prepared to battle Brooklyn Nets
Well if Doc Rivers is teaching the Boston Celtics to hate the Miami Heat, it seems that Mike Woodson may be getting a message through to the Knicks to hate the Brooklyn Nets.

After hearing about the comments made by Nets owner Mikhail...

The Knicks are once again shorthanded. Yes, we get to see the debut of Ronnie Brewer at the shooting guard position and yes, this will be Carmelo Anthony’s return to the Carrier Dome on the campus of Syracuse University.
I, for one, do not want the major excuse for this season to become the fact that Carmelo and Amar’e have not had a full training...
