Preview: Knicks at Kings

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:00:27 -0500

by Mike Groll - AP View full size photo » That's low, Al Harrington. Real fricking low. THE OPPONENT This is going to blow your fricking mind: the Knicks defense is better than the Knicks offense. That is more of a commentary on the dreadful shooting the Knicks have given the world this season. New York ranks 22nd in effective field goal percentage, and 24th in three-point shooting. This is particularly problematic b...

Gallinari ready to be face of Knicks?

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 02:19:15 -0500

Gallinari expects to be the face of the Knicks next season along with Wilson Chandler, according to an interview with the New York Post. That is if Nate and Lee both bolt away this offseason. I’m kind of surprised that Gallinari is starting to become vocal and I actually like it. I’m glad that he knows [...]

Wilson Chandler’s High Expectations for the Knicks

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 08:30:03 -0500

Chandler expects his team to still be hooping after the regular season concludes next year: “Despite eight straight losing seasons, the Knicks forward is setting the bar high for his team. ‘A lot of people look at us as the same team, but I think we’re a playoff team. We just had some hard times,’ Chandler said. ‘I think we should make the playoffs next year.’”

Saturday 06/27 (Rubio) Quickie

Sat, 27 Jun 2009 06:21:00 -0500

Just a couple of the things that make this Ricky Rubio situation a huge snafu, as rumors swirl that the Knicks are trying to pry him from the clueless T'wolves:*As for Rubio to the Knicks, can someone explain to me what a team with sights on LeBron James needs with a pass-first/can't-shoot point guard? How does THAT make sense? And why would Rubio want to play with a guy who needs the ball in HIS hands to be dominating?*I know the Knicks didn't know Rubio could be had at 5, but wh...

Josh's Corner: Knicks 2008-09 season in one word: 2010 (I know that’s a number...well, it’s a year but you get the point)

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 10:49:32 -0500

Our Los Angeles correspondent Josh Garcia is back with another great piece looking back at the Knicks' 2008-2009 season, which was less than perfect. He shares his thoughts on the roster and their future plans. The Knicks won their season finale, crushing the much hated, often booed New Jersey Nets (well, I hate and boo them) on Wednesday night, ending their 5th straight season without being in the playoffs. Some of you may remember my meager expectations of the Knicks before the seaso...

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 12:18:21 -0500

Basketball Monster has a man crush on Wilson Chandler's (1.59) game ? 27 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, and 4 threes as he helped the Knicks throw down 132 points on Memphis (even Chris Duhon (0.69) was good for the Knicks).

Gus Johnson......RE-MIX!

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 11:27:00 -0500

It's been a long time since Gus Johnson had something to get excited about in regards to the Knicks. While my Wizards were busy losing to the f'ing Nets on their opening night, the Knicks were busy running and dunking over the Heat. In the second quarter, Gus lets out a huge "Hell Yes!" after a put-back dunk from Wilson Chandler, and the good folks at Tirico Suave decided to remix it for us.... Amazing. Obviously it's drawn out a bit long, but if you're following al...

Through Pringles' Eyes

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:04:39 -0500

D'Antoni finds time in most of his interviews this summer to drop a nugget or two about Wilson Chandler and his potential. But after his rookie year, what do we really know about Chandler? He's got good size for his position, and he's strong. He doesn't really have an outside touch, but his midrange
