Obviously, it’s way too early to be thinking about the draft, but yours truly puts his scouting knack to use from day one of the college basketball season. So after the first week-to-10 days here are some thoughts about who Donnie Walsh could be keeping an eye on already.
Before we get into the “who” let’s [...]

Several reports abound about this Isiah Thomas situation:
Via WCBS-TV in NY..
“…Harrison police were sent to the home of former Knicks president Isiah Thomas early Friday morning in response to a call that he had overdosed on sleeping pills, a source confirmed to CBS station WCBS-TV in New York City.
Thomas’ condition or whereabouts are not yet [...]

“…D’Antoni’s connection to the Raptors’ front office goes back nearly 20 years, to when he coached in Italy and his boss was Maurizio Gherardini, , who works under Raptors president Bryan Colangelo.

Back in 2006, both Jose Reyes and David Wright were ruling [...]

Here’s an absurd/semi-laughable admission…I truly believe that I could do a credible job of coaching the Knicks.
Let me start by saying I’m a pretty godawful basketball player. I may be short, but I’m also very slow, can’t jump (apologies to Woody Harrelson) and I’m not really that good at…well…getting the ball to go in the [...]

Rookie Danilo Gallinari’s back issues has caused some concern with the Knicks and their fanbase. I am no doctor, but history should serve (along with advancements in medical treatments/technology) as a barometer for just how serious a bulging disk is. So before you jump off a cliff in anger over a draft bust, keep the [...]

“Private Marbury reporting for service, SIR!!”
I’m sure it hardly went down like that, but Marc Berman is reporting that (hold on to your hat folks) Stephon Marbury has come to grips with the idea of coming off the bench just shortly after holding firm on his Gary Templeton-esque statement that he will start or depart.
Clearly [...]

Sorry no sound but the video is pretty solid.
