It's the best start of the season if you are a fan of the New York Knicks or the Brooklyn Nets.
Both teams are legit for the first time ever together and I don't know when was the last time where both teams were very good.
Knicks:
The Knickerbockers are still undeafeated with a record of 6-0 heading into Memphis tomorrow night.
Is is early to judge the Knicks, but you have to be pleased on how the way they have been playing as a team.
Even if Carmelo Anthony didn't have his best shooting night. They still find a way to win a ballgame traling by a dozen.
The veteran experience has made a huge difference so far for this team. When you have players like Jason Kidd, Raymond Felton and J.R. Smith making plays at the right time.
It tells me they are going to finish somewhere in the top three in the Eastern conference. Once they get Amar'e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert back on the team.
They will be better than they are now, even though the New York media will try to...

J.R. Smith Credits Stoppage of Partying to His Success
Associated Press
New York Knicks star shooting guard J.R. Smith has been having one solid year off the bench so far. Smith is shooting an eye-opening 13-of-18 from behind-the-arc this season, which is 72-percent. He is also averaging 18 points and only one turnover in 33 minutes per game. He also averages five rebounds and three assists as well.
This might possibly be the best...
Ronnie Brewer: A Solid Pickup for the New York Knicks
Some of the drama dealing with the New York Knicks this off-season was Jeremy Lin. The theatrics that enveloped why the Knicks front office let Lin go without an ounce of return was the nucleus of the Knicks brand. However, the franchise did make some solid, underrated moves and one of those moves was signing former Chicago Bull Ronnie Brewer.
Brewer was a notable bench player when...

J.R. Smith is enjoying a stretch in which he is playing the best basketball of his career. He’s currently averaging 18.2 points per game this season, which is second on the club trailing only Carmelo Anthony. This morning when asked about head coach Mike Woodson calling Smith “more professional,” J.R. gave the reason why: he’s not partying as much. Smith said:

Rasheed Wallace is the master of trash talk
With the amount of microphones they put on the court these days, NBA viewers are subjected to a new level of intimacy with the players, coaches and even the refs. You get the occasional “F-Bomb,” some insight into coaching strategy and, best of all, some trash talk.
Rasheed Wallace has a big mouth, that’s nothing new, but he has an interesting way of getting inside his opponents’...

Very rarely do I nit-pick about athlete swag. Personality, style of dress, hairdo. All these things are usually off limits for me because who am I to say somebody else’s steeze should be done away with. But when it comes to these high top fades slowly creeping their way back into the NBA and pop culture I have got to take a stand. We’re all haters when it comes to some aspects...

Only five games into the 2012-2013 NBA season and the New York Knicks find themselves the only undefeated team in the league – all five games being played sans the services of Amar’e Stoudemire or Iman Shumpert. When Stoudemire returns, immediately, I anticipate an impending imbalance within the structure of the offense. Of course, quite the opposite could occur. Amar’e could...

Tonight in Memphis, the New York Knicks did something they haven't done all year, and something that every other team has done already. They lost, for the first time, and while the result wasn't in any way surprising (they were on the down slope of a back to back, they had extended a lot of energy...

This one started off as we all thought it would-C’s looked tired & sloppy and were out-hustled by the Nets. After 1Q, Brooklyn was up 31-26 and the C’s had given-up 50% FG and already committed 6 turnovers.
Things then started to turn around a bit in the 2nd. Behind some fantastic play from Bass and Barbosa, who had 10 pts in the quarter, the C’s pulled to within 3...
