TEAMS: New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls
With strong defensive play propelling the Knicks to many victories already this season, the surprising concern thus far has actually been the team's fluidity on offense.Toney Douglas' early season struggles as starter set the negative tone for the Knicks offensively, and New York has struggled throughout without an efficient floor general. Of course, Jeremy Lin provided a spark as LINsanity struck, and the Knicks couldn't help but be relieved that their point guard woes appeared over.But now that Lin is sidelined through (at least) the potential first round of the postseason, the Knicks' offense has been impaired, falling completely stagnant. Though Coach Woodson has motivated the team enough to keep persevering through various injuries and adversity, there's no doubt the team's playoff chances have taken a hit as they've struggled to find a rhythm on offense.Although the team opted to roll with the backup point guards already in place, the difficulties t...

Shumpert finishing his rookie season strong
Iman Shumpert is almost falling into the clichéd story of guys who were told they wouldn’t succeed and then showed up the world by proving them all wrong. I’m not going to say the New York Knicks rookie guard is a raving success, but he has done better than most people thought, and he’s definitely on his way.
When he decided to forego his senior season at Georgia Tech and...
New York Knicks: Finding A Way In Big Spots
The New York Knicks can be infuriating to watch at times. This season has been a bizarre roller coaster of about five different teams, all of which are deeply flawed but unquestionably talented. The current version is entirely too reliant on Carmelo Anthony on the offensive end and is still prone to mind numbing lapses on defense despite having two candidates for first team All...
Carmelo Anthony looked especially dapper before Tuesday night’s Knicks game (pic)
Looking good, Carmelo Anthony. Looking good. It takes considerable fashion gravitas to pull of the multi-buttoned suit coat over the buttoned cardigan look without it appearing, well, too button-ey. Throw in the bow tie and Knicks-colored headphones and more often than not one would have the makings of an overly busy ensemble. But we’re talking [...]
Knicks separate from Bucks in playoff race
MILWAUKEE -- Tyson Chandler told his New York Knicks teammates that Wednesday's game was "do or die." A loss to the Bucks would have put both teams at 29-29 and given the tiebreaker edge to Milwaukee for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. But the Knicks didn't disappoint Chandler in their effort, beating the Bucks, 111-107, and moving two...
Day 108 of 124: Waiver Wire Team Assemble!
Line of the Night/ Waiver Wire Line of the Night: There was an insane triple-double last night and some dude grabbed 30 boards, but neither of those games was the best fantasy line of the night. Instead, waiver wire champion Danny Green (2.61 WARP) finished with 22 points, hitting 5-6 from three and 7-11 from the field, with 2 steals, 2 blocks and 0 turnovers. If that sounds like...

The Knicks (30-28) took a two-game edge on the Bucks (28-30) for eighth in the Eastern Conference and also evened their season series at two games apiece. Tyson Chandler had 19 points and 11 rebounds for the Knicks...
Where’s Lester Hudson’s “Linsanity?”
On February 6, the shorthanded New York Knicks topped the Utah Jazz at home. The team’s two best players were inactive, dealing with various issues ranging from personal to health. The hero of the day — and subsequent weeks — was a hardwood vagabond, a scrappy guard who had been bounced from multiple NBA franchises, left to trudge through the murk and muck of the NBDL.

A Jeremy Lin Documentary Is Reportedly Being Produced
Even though Linsanity has died off, that’s not going to stop Hollywood from cashing in on the story of Jeremy Lin.
According to a person familiar with the pitch who was not authorized to talk about it publicly, the movie (no firm title yet, so let your pun-riddled imagination run wild) looks both at Lin’s unlikely run in the NBA as well at his humble background. Los Angeles...
