TEAMS: New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets
Chris Copeland has cemented his position on this Knick Roster the night he scored 34 points in 19 minutes verse the Boston Celtics. What is going to surprise a lot of people is he may start opening night at the 3. With Amare out 2-3 weeks and the good news that Chandler's MRI showed little more than a slight bone bruise means Chandler will Start at center opening night. Melo will start at the 4 with Jr Smith at the 2 and Raymond Felt-on will start at the1. Camby, Wallace, Kidd, Pablo, Brewer and Novacanie will be perhaps be known as having the deepest bench in the league. Look for Pablo to play major minutes with this club. Pablo makes everyone around him better and we witnessed such in preseason as he made Copeland an example of bringing out the best in an unknown player. Kidd looked good also but Pablo's 5 years of youth on Kidd and deceptive change of speed moves will bring out all the talent this current team has.. which is equal or better than any elite team in the NBA....

NBA broadcaster Marv Albert isn't high on Carmelo Anthony as a player. He had some criticisms of Melo during a recent interview.
Should Amare Stoudemire Be On The Second Unit?
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...

Pablo Prigioni may be the next star of the New York Knicks, if he continues to play the way he has this preseason. He had a terrific game last night against the Brooklyn Nets dishing out 11 assists. What was more terrific was his post-game interview with MSG’s Tina Cervasio. Now we all understand that Pablo...
Tyson Chandler Doesn’t Believe Carmelo Will Shoot the Ball Less
For New York Knicks star forward Carmelo Anthony, he has always been known as one of the top scorers in the league. He’s one of those guys who can get you 30-plus points per game if you really need it from him.
However, with the Knicks having one of the deepest teams in the league now, the 28-year-old said recently that he doesn’t plan on scoring as much, as he wants to try...
Tyson Chandler: Carmelo Anthony Isn’t Going To Shoot Less
Earlier this offseason, Carmelo Anthony made a vow that he was tired of scoring 30 or 40 points on a nightly basis, and now had more of a focus on doing whatever it took to win games. If that took defending and rebounding, and only taking 12 shots, he would do it.
This is admirable for anyone who knows Melo’s game. He shoots a lot, but a lot of the time, he is very good at it...
Tyson Chandler Was Worried Before MRI
Of course you heard, the Knicks received good news yesterday. Tyson is day to day with a bruised knee. We can’t explain the importance to health for the 12/13 NY Knicks and it all starts with Tyson. Our minds have been pre-occupied with Amare, Camby, Brewer, Sheed, and Shump. Basically the whole team at some point was injured or held out of practice and games for some reason...
Wally SZERBIAK is the best thing for knicks fans
As I watch Wally give his insightful opinion (preseason)on the knicks players and inside knowledge of a player that has recentlyretired from the NBA game, he brings fresh air to the MSG telecast.
He's the best commentator up there now IMHO .
THOUGHTS
Tyson Chandler Has Bone Bruise In Knee, Listed As Day-To-Day
The Knicks are optimistic that Tyson Chandler will be ready for the regular season opener against the Nets, but will likely be conservative.
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.
During an appearance on Anthony Donahue’s The Knicks Blog internet radio show, Felton was asked about the Knicks-Nets season opener on Nov. 1.
After hearing about the comments made by Nets owner Mikhail...
Tyson Chandler leaves tonight’s game vs. Nets with a knee injury.
The New York Knicks had a little bit of a scare tonight as their best defensive player, Tyson Chandler was forced to leave Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets with an apparent knee injury.

A Decade Later: How Carmelo Anthony Changed Syracuse Hoops Forever
Ten years ago, can you believe it? The ’02-’03 season ended with Syracuse cutting down the nets in New Orleans, site of so much horror for the program before that. The kid that erased all those ghosts was back in the Dome this week.

New York Knicks Take On Brooklyn Nets: Preseason Preview
The Knicks are facing the Nets at Nassau Coliseum tonight in their 6th and final pre-season game. The Knicks have not played well as of late and I am hoping to see the them develop some real chemistry tonight, even though many of the rotation guys are out.
We all know this is just the pre-season, but the Knicks have looked truly lackadaisical defensively and out of sync offensively...
