Linkin’ Center: Where Psycho T Invades MSG
The Knicks Lost To This
Whenever Tyler Hansbrough scores more points than both Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, chances are his team’s walking away with the win. Most didn’t see this coming, but some did. It was just one of those NBA games where every logical point tips the scale in one team’s favor, only to have the underdog blow them out. Onto the...

Pacers 106, Knicks 93: Rumors of the Pacers’ Demise…
Yeah, a lotta that going on tonight.
…are greatly exaggerated.
Danny Granger was ill and missed tonight’s game; supposedly he was receiving IV’s all day. The Knicks must have been angry there weren’t any bags left for them. They didn’t show up tonight and allowed a struggling Indiana club to get a road win as easy as can be had. Your final score: IND 106, NY 93...

It’s Time to Bury the Pacers
More than anything, a game against Indiana is an opportunity to give thanks that the Knicks did not draft Lance Stephenson.
The Knicks are healthy (almost), the playoffs are guaranteed (almost), and the opponent can’t catch us (almost). Tonight the Knicks start a home-and-home with the Indiana Pacers, and two wins would put the Knicks out of their reach. Two losses would leave...

Stoudemire’s Technical Has Been Rescinded
It looks like Amar’e won’t be suspended (yet) after all. From ESPN:
Amar’e Stoudemire’s 16th technical foul was rescinded Friday by the NBA league office, making him eligible to play Sunday for the New York Knicks against the Indiana Pacers. Stoudemire and Dallas Mavericks center Brendan Haywood were given double technicals when they became entanged in...

Linkin’ Center: Where Defense Is A Forgotten Concept
I Want Rubio!
So this is what the Utah Jazz felt like. Last night’s blowout loss is being dissected by writers all over the country today. My take? Simple case of the better team taking care of business at home. Onto the links…
* If you missed the game: The must read Times recap.
* Classic case of adding insult to injury, Mark Cuban picks his shots nicely.

Mavs 127, Knicks 109
While watching the game tonight I found myself thinking about my Little League days. I was a catcher and they had just allowed kids to start stealing bases. At that age, you may recall, stealing bases was a pretty simple proposition, not because the catcher couldn’t make the throw, but because so many things had to go just right. The pitcher had to keep it out of the dirt...

Previewing Mavs-Knicks II
An oldie, but a goodie.
Tonight’s matchup features two teams that have had a very similar last few days, right down to the final second of last night. Both have been hot of late, both are playing a back-to-back and third in four nights, and both played tough road games last night against Western Conference teams scrapping to make the playoffs without their best player, and blew...

The Fast Break: Big Shot Melo
Carmelo Anthony is the NBA's best crunch time shooter
For all the hatred spewing from these so-called sports experts across the country that complain about Carmelo Anthony not being a franchise player, not being a superstar, not being a good fit in New York, not even being as good a signing as Deron Williams, Melo is (point of fact) the NBA’s best crunch time scorer, and...

Linkin’ Center: Where Melo “Does This”
Carmelo Anthony On Wearing Majority Orange Ties: "I DO THIS"
* Moments after sinking the game winning 16-footer to down Memphis last night, Carmelo Anthony turned to the Grizzlies bench and shouted, “I do this!”. Who’s to disagree? Carmelo has been the Knicks’ offensive genius since coming aboard, scoring in a variety of ways in a variety of situations...

Knicks 110, Grizzlies 108
This is exactly what happened, except a) Knicks uniform, and b) more Tony Allen.
Since the Melo trade, Mike D’Antoni has preached that it’s all about just getting to the playoffs. I’m sure privately he tells his team differently, but he’s been very careful to maintain a public veneer of being satisfied simply to show his face in mid-April.
Of course, and especially after...

Knicks-Grizz, And A Look Ahead
And still, no one goes to their games.
No two teams show the difference between hope and expectation quite like the Knicks and Heat. The possible first-round playoff opponents both emptied the cupboard to acquire multiple franchise players, and each faces questions of how those stars will mesh. The Heat immediately became the NBA’s public enemy number one, and the Knicks, should...

Linkin’ Center: Where Marijuana Is One Former Knick Away (Not Zach Randolph)
On To The Next One...
* Late last night as I was boogie boarding around in my nightly search for irresistible Knicks related stuff on the internet, a snippet caught my eye, looking both peculiar and hilarious at the same time. It seems ex-Knick Cuttino Mobley (he was traded here in 2008, but never played a game due to heart trouble) has his sights on making the world a better place...

Player Updates: Jeffries Named Permanent Starter
After last night’s dominant performance, which saw every player in a Knick uniform score a point except Jared Jeffries, the former Hoosier has been rewarded for his non-basket scoring impact with a spot in the starting lineup. From ESPN’s Chris Sheridan:
Jeffries was cheered (usually, he produces only groans) for the hustle plays he kept making, on the glass and on the...

Kevin McHale’s Interview On The Knicks
Posted today on the New York Times’ fantastic “Off The Dribble” NBA blog was an interview with current TNT broadcaster and member of the Hall of Fame Kevin McHale (conducted by basketball writer Jonathan Abrams). Here are a few snippets:
Most Favorable Playoff Matchup:
I would say probably they might match up best with Orlando. Watching Orlando and just seeing them...

Linkin’ Center: Where Lala Isn’t Feeling The Love
Don't be jealous, Candace.
Wow, sooooo that just happened. Carmelo and Amar’e played to the absolute peak of their abilities in that Jazz rout last night, and what a sight it was. Just a pleasure. Today in the Linkin’ Center, we’re taking a look at a few things, including last night’s “game”, Wednesday’s hot opponent, and Carmelo’...

STAT and Melo put on a Show at MSG as Knicks Drub Jazz
When the Knicks finally got their hands on Carmelo Anthony almost two weeks ago and paired him with Amar’e Stoudemire, last night’s result was kind of what we all envisioned might happen in time. The dynamic duo has only been together for 8 games now, but it is clear that, quarter by quarter, game by game, the two are beginning to operate offensively on the same wavelength...

3/7: What. A. Blowout. Knicks Destroy Utah, 131-109
(Eds. Note: This recap will be particularly short due to B.O.B. staff writer Adam Garnett’s more in depth follow up later on tonight. Enjoy them both.)
The New York Knicks and the Utah Jazz: two teams who symbolize the vast spectrum of unfair disparity currently existing between small and large market NBA franchises. When the current CBA expires and both parties are drawn to a...

Quick ‘n’ Dirty Jazz-Knicks Preview
This look says, "D-Will, just get the hell out already."
Quick. Dirty. Preview.
Projected Starters:
PG – Devin Harris: Not a point guard, says I to literally anyone who will listen. I was once spent 20 minutes arguing with an invalid on this topic, such is my passion for it.
SG – Raja Bell: Tough matchup for Fields tonight. Bell will match strength with him and...

3/7 Linkin’ Center: Where Al Horford Gives Carmelo A Migraine
In last night’s nice little fourth quarter barrage, the Knicks reverted back to their early winter look, i.e. with no Carmelo Anthony. Apparently a migraine was suffered by the All-Star starter on an Al Horford love tap during the first quarter. Not sure if this’ll create any lingering side effects, but the Knicks’ new cast of characters seemed able enough to step...

3/6: Headband Unnecessary, Knicks Down Hawks 92-79
No punches were thrown. No trash talking, flying elbows, or blood splatter. But in a game between two teams who see themselves as overlooked threats once the playoffs start, this was a bitter one. The game was a back and forth battle for three quarters. New York had a two point lead at the half and watched the Hawks wrestle it from them throughout the third quarter. Shots were made...

Andy Rautins Won’t Be Needing His Suit Tonight…
…because Chauncey Billups, Bill Walker and Ronny Turiaf are all out for tonight’s game. Read Chris Sheridan’s ditty here. Each is “looking iffy,” tweets Alan Hahn, for Monday vs. Utah.
Walker and Turiaf both have sore left knees. Josh Smith appears to be a go tonight for the Hawks.

Previewing Knicks-Hawks IV
You won't see a more intimidating yellow sweater vest all day
Friday the Knicks proved themselves of punting a game if they feel like it. Well, ok, they’ve already proved that a few times this year. But their effort against Cleveland showed that, if this team bears any comparison to the pre-Melo squad, it’s that they’re both eminently capable of the old-fashioned,...

Mortifying
Before last night’s loss the Knicks did a lot of talking; too much talking against a team 27 or so organizations in this league should beat on a consistent basis. As if losing to Cleveland twice in two weeks wasn’t bad enough, newly acquired Cavalier (now self made martyr) Baron Davis got into some boasting of his own late last night. From the Daily News:
