Jeremy Lin An Unlikely Hero as Knicks Take Down Nets
When the season began, the Knicks were expected by many to contend at a higher level, potentially chasing a championship.The problem with that expectation is that it may prove difficult for a team (especially any coached by Mike D'Antoni) to chase a title with no true efficient point guard on the roster.The Knicks have tried desperately to find their floor general, with Toney...

What if Chris Paul was a Knick?
Dream a Little Dream
Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine a Knicks team without Tyson Chandler. Picture a floor with Melo, Stat, Landry Fields, [insert someone here] and Iman Shumpert/Toney Douglas/Mike Bibby/Baron Davis/Jeremy Lin.
Now, imagine Shumpert/Douglas/Bibby/Davis/Lin is…Chris…Paul.

Bibby has no regrets about time with Heat
MIAMI -- You could have called him the Minus Six Million Dollar Man.
When point guard Mike Bibby sought his release from woeful Washington last February in order to join the Miami Heat, he was willing to give up all his 2011-12 salary, the final year of his contract. That was a cool 6.2 million.
As it turns out, Bibby lost 3.9 million for this season when salaries are prorated...

Live Analysis of 76ers/Hawks
For the first time in a long time, I am able to catch the 76ers game live tonight so I am going to break this game down with first and second half recaps.
First Half Analysis:
After 24 minutes of play, the same old tune is being played in Philadelphia tonight. While as impressive as the 76ers start to the season has been, once again they are struggling with a playoff caliber team...

There's No Need For Knicks Fans To Fret Just Yet
**This editorial was written by Knicks Journal's newest contributor, Zach Horst. You can follow Zach on Twitter @zd183.**The fans have been pouring on the boo's, calling for D'Antoni's head after the disappointing 102-93 loss to the Magic and the resulting 3-game skid.

Knicks defeat Pistons in convincing fashion
Since their Christmas Day win over the Celtics, the Knicks have not had too much to smile about. The offense rarely even seemed like an offense, the defense was its usual atrocious self, and their undisciplined play resulted in a 3-4 record, which included losses to Toronto, Golden State, and Charlotte. Even their most recent win came over a winless Wizards team; a game in which...

Knicks Dominate Pistons,103-80; Win Second Consecutive Game
The New York Knicks had no trouble scoring the basketball in the opening quarter and without taking a look at the scoreboard, one would have assumed the Knicks were up by at least ten. The Knicks were in complete control and they were dictating the pace of the game.
However, the Pistons were not going away and were hanging around, waiting for a chance to reclaim the lead. Brandon...

The New York Knicks had a terrible first quarter and once again they were lacking on the defensive end. The Knicks clearly made no adjustments since their loss to the Charlotte Bobcats and the Wizards took advantage of every opportunity. Washington was getting into the open-court and found good looks on nearly every possession.
The first quarter was all Washington and it headed to...

In the post, Doolittle says the Hawks made “no major personnel additions to explain the defensive improvement.” But I think...
