The Knicks slept walked through another first half in Denver allow for the Nuggets to shoot 70 percent from the field before, again, snapping out of it and making it a game.
Appropriate, isn’t it, that the team  forced itself to hike uphill in the Rocky Mountains only to suck wind and come up [...]

Preview
The Nuggets can clinch a playoff berth with a win tonight. They are also playing for a home court advantage during the opening round. The Knicks… well they [...]

Just an add on to that last Harrington post.
I feel Al wants star treatment, in fact, Al DEMANDS star treatment and I think that’s his problem. He’s frustrated the team is losing and he’s not a star in the eyes of the officials.
Think back to the post game interview Shaq had after the Suns [...]

I’ve always seen Al Harrington for what he is. He’s a solid player who is not a star. He’s made a nice living and has played on some bad teams. In essence, he’s a stopgap guy.In this situation, however, he’s trying to prove too much and that’s both a good thing and a bad thing.

“At the Knicks’ current pace, D’Antoni would become the 10th coach since 1965 to go from50 wins to 50 losses in a year, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. (The last coach to suffer that fate was Larry Brown, who [...]

We talked about this months ago, and it appears Donnie Walsh is trying to land the pick in 2010 that Isiah Thomas gave away in the Stephon Marbury trade.
“…Isiah Thomas’ signature trade, acquiring Stephon Marbury from the Phoenix Suns six years ago – continues to be the trade that keeps on giving … for everyone [...]

Interesting exchange as told to Marc Berman.
“…Denver’s Renaldo Balkman told former Rocky Mountain News reporter Chris Thomasson the club “regrets” trading him last summer. D’Antoni’s response?
“Who’s that?”
Knicks play in Denver tomorrow. I wouldn’t want to be the guy trying to stop Balkman going to the rim. D’Antoni went on to say Renaldo, the Knicks’ former [...]
