The Darko Debate

I get the question all the time:
“Why didn’t D’Antoni play Darko”- and it’s one that I can really answer other than to suspect what I’ve seen from the couple of handfuls of practices I attended when he was here.
When I saw Darko in Saratoga I was excited because I though he was going to get [...]

Digging a Little Deeper

So I had the chance to read Kelly Dwyer’s take on the Knicks and there are several things that jump out at me. Let me say this, I have a ton of respect for the guys at BDL. I find them very entertaining and relatively informative. But, like a ton of media who cover the [...]

Alston Skips out of Jersey

Update 5:45 Via Twitter
“…The Heat are sending Chris Quinn and a 2010 conditional 2nd round pick to Nets for a 1.3 million trade exception, sources say…”
Via Yahoo:
“…Rafer Alston has agreed to a contract buyout with the Nets.
Sources told Yahoo! Sports on Tuesday that the Heat are the early favorite to sign the point guard after [...]

Gallo May Get the Nod

So it sounds as if Danilo Gallinari’s shooting performance the other night may earn him a spot in the starting rotation, but if true, it would be interesting to see who sits.
I would not sit Jared Jeffries because it forces David Lee to the five. I would sit Wilson Chandler.
Darko Milicic, if cleared and it [...]

What to Expect

Marc Berman posed the question, what if this season doesn’t produce the positive signs for free agents?
“… If the Knicks stink badly, if Gallinari does not show great promise, why come?
“I understand that argument,” Walsh told The Post. “The truth is, I have no way of knowing how people will think when we get to [...]

Who I Would Start

So the questions have been posed towards Coach D’Antoni for well-over a week now in terms of the starting lineup and rotation, and there has been little-to-no clarity on either subject.
Other than assuming that Larry Hughes, who won’t be bought out, is on the outside looking in, as well as the developing Jordan Hill, it’s [...]

With Curry Out, Darko Needs to Step Up

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — With Eddy Curry missing in action from the Knicks’ lineup until he gets himself in shape (again), one guy who could stand to benefit is Darko Milicic.The 7-foot Milicic, obtained in a draft-day trade with Memphis for Quentin Richardson, is practicing with the first unit and could see additional minutes as David [...]

And So it Begins…

(audio for the players is a little low so turn it up.)
Check out my other appearances on BAC.
Follow my training camp updates on Twitter.
So it’s “the Season Before The Summer” and, like Hahn, what I gathered from today is that the team has less of a cloud over it, and they have the confidence to [...]

Are You a Believer?

No, the roster hasn’t officially been settled yet, not when two veterans like David Lee and Nate Robinson are still unsigned. But we’re getting awfully close to another training camp and the shift now has to go from the “what may have been” of the summer to “what will be” of the 2009 season.
We know [...]

D’Antoni: “Gallo can be a top-level player”

Via NBA.com
“…What we’ve seen of him (Gallinari) and what we know of him as a person, a leader and all that, we think he can be a top-level player in this league,” D’Antoni said. “He’s definitely one of the best shooters in the league, without a doubt. He’s 6-10, knows how to play and is [...]
