It is What it is…

It’s an overused saying, but it applies right now to this team.
It’s been a season that has been bad since December. There is really no effort at this point, and as fans, it’s easy to be frustrated.
I’ve been through terrible times with this team, as most of you have. I remember the Stu Jackson era, [...]

“To be Real Good, You have to be Real Bad”

Via Steve Adamek
“…So basically here’s what you’ve got. Crawford, Randolph, Richardson, Rose, Collins, Jeffries, Robinson, James, Mr. Vaseline Man … In other words, pretty much the 2007-08 roster.

And we had talent, but we believed [...]

Spike Lee, to no one’s surprise, is a main character.
I had the chance to speak with Donnie Walsh after practice a few weeks [...]

Richard Joseph “Dick” McGuire

The Knicks organization and its fans lost a huge member of its great history with the passing of Dick McGuire today at the age of 84.
I never saw McGuire play, but from what I’ve gathered from the countless of experienced fans who did, McGuire was one of the Knicks’ first true superstars.
He was a New [...]

I’m Reading About: More Nate; Defense and Mike D’Antoni

Great post by TKB friend Big C, who is known for his highlight reels, but is a very smart and capable blogger.
“…In the last month we have seen a coach who’s main philosophy is if you run up the score you will win the game. Defense is an after thought. The system that the [...]

ESPN: Kiki To Take the Reigns
