New York Knicks – Season Over After Game 6 Loss
Well that just sucks, eh? The New York Knicks season came to an end tonight with a 106-99 loss to the Indiana Pacers. It was a frustrating end to an enjoyable season and kicks off an off-season of limited flexibility for the Knicks, who will still have their share of question marks to sort out.

Should Game Six Be Steve Novak's Opportunity to Break Out?
Defense win championships. Every smart basketball mind seems to understand this, and Knicks' Coach Mike Woodson is no different.

The Knicks had a grind out 85-75 victory over the Pacers in Game 5, forcing the series back to Indy for a Game 6 show down.

The Knicks failed to do so in Games 3 and 4, but will have the opportunity at redemption in a must...
Pacers - Knicks Game Five: The Heat Win, Even When They Don't Play
Wish You Were Here
Up until the late going in this game, it looked like the Pacers might get the road steal they needed to achieve quasi-parity with the Heat in terms of rest, en route to their future hard fought series loss.

I believe now is as good a time as any to write an obituary for the New York Knicks. No, the Knicks have not been officially eliminated from the playoffs, but after watching them slog through the first round against a Boston team that was likely the only other unit in the NBA as old and torpid as the Knicks (Lakers also in contention for...
For Knicks, Toughness Starts at the Top
It was disappointing to hear that MSG hierarchy pulled the plug on Mike Woodson’s regular segment on ESPN-98.7 with Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco. I don’t believe this is much of a loss from a radio standpoint – Woodson’s matter-of-fact interview style probably would annoy the bloodthirsty fans  - but from an organizational Q-Rating  it’s a black eye. I also think...

New York Knicks Disappoint In Game Four Loss to Indiana Pacers
Given how the Knicks responded to the beat down they received from the Pacers in game one of the semi-finals, it made sense that they clawed their way back into the series by returning the favor in game two.So when game three resulted in quite the feeble effort from New York, many expected them to come out raring to go.
