The New York Knicks Are Back
If I still had the text messages, I would turn them into a full post. Absolutely ridiculous stuff. Knick fans are so over-the-top they make the Kardashians sound sane, and my boy is one of the biggest ones out there. He’s famous in our circle for talking up every new New York player (Mardy Collins, [...]

Second Guessing the Knicks

The “one measure” in this story is Wins Produced. And I thought I would provide a bit more information on this story.
First the back-story: Jared called...

Knicks First Round Draft History: Bust Edition
As a Jets fan, I'm used to draft history abuse. And it's warranted. But as the 2011 NBA Draft approaches, it provides a reminder that the last 25 years or so of Knickerbockers first-rounders aren't exactly a who's who's list of all-stars or even long-time Knicks. In fact, you have to go back to '85 and '87 and the additions of Action Mark Jackson and Ba...

Props to the Former Knicks
Posted in TextWith our current Knicks out after the minimum of four playoff games, I would like to give some credit to some of our former players for their play during these playoffs.
On November 21, 2008, Donnie Walsh, in separate deals, traded away perhaps the two biggest stars on the Knicks. Jamal Crawford was sent to Golden State for Al Harrington. Zach Randolph was dealt...

Who would you rather?
My friends and I used to play a game on the bus every time we had a middle school field trip. We called it “Who would you rather?”, and it would be pretty inappropriate to explain the rules in this space. Let’s just say one time, a girl found out about our game and my buddy got slapped across his face. Thankfully, he did not respond by slapping her back and repeatedly...

Cuttino Mobley plans to dispense medical marijuana
After an at-times notable but mostly just steady and entertaining 11-year NBA career, Cuttino Mobley was traded from the Los Angeles Clippers to the New York Knicks with Tim Thomas in exchange for Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins. A post-trade physical turned up hypertrophic cardiomyopathy — an enlarged heart, the same condition from which Hank Gathers and Reggie Lewis suffered...

ESPN: Knicks Fans Desperate for Melo
Posted in Carmelo Anthony,TextVia Matt Wong
You know how desperate Knicks fans are for Carmelo Anthony after LeBron spurned them? Remember Melo’s sucker-punch-and-run on Mardy Collins at the Garden during the 2006-07 season? Fuhgeddaboudit!
Such is life after another losing season; after LeBron rejected them for the rival Heat; after Amare Stoudemire name-dropped Melo’...

Isiah Thomas rejoins the Knicks…
…as a ‘consultant.’
Um, ok.
Per Marc Berman:
Knicks are about to announce Isiah Thomas will be named a part-time consultant to club but keeps his job at FIU. Weird.
This isn’t all that surprising after the Knicks enlisted Thomas in a last-ditch pitch to LeBron a few weeks ago. I don’t know why you would trot out (arguably, thanks to Kevin McHale) the...

What will the Los Angeles Clippers do about their 9 free agents?
The Clippers have 7 unrestricted free agents and 2 restricted free agents coming into this summer. First things first, the Clippers look to be players in the free agent market before deciding whether or not to bring back any of their owns guys. It makes perfect sense to do it that way because they have Larry Bird rights to their own free agents which would allow them to go over...

Attack the gaps to beat the zone
(Click on the image to begin the animation)
The Celtics have a problem with zones. That's nothing new. Their problem with zone defenses begins with their desire to spot up from 3. The C's love the 3... and it kills them because they'd rather stand behind the arc than attack gaps.
This diagram is pretty much what the Clippers were...

SLAM 132: On Sale Now!
by Lang Whitaker
The last time Carmelo Anthony was on a solo SLAM cover was SLAM issue 105, back in the Winter of 2007. He was playing great, the Nuggets were looking up, and it seemed like it was time to highlight how he was finally growing up a little bit. The day we got copies of that issue into the SLAM office, the Nuggets were in NYC, so I went down to the Garden to give Melo...
