I believe now is as good a time as any to write an obituary for the New York Knicks. No, the Knicks have not been officially eliminated from the playoffs, but after watching them slog through the first round against a Boston team that was likely the only other unit…

Last night’s Knicks-Pacers game went in the same style that many predicted it would when the series began: ugly. Neither team shot for higher than 40% from the field yet it was the Pacers who ended up netting the 82-71 victory in a critical game three. The deciding force in…

Last night’s landslide victory over the Indiana Pacers included a wide swath of emotions. When the Pacers took the lead during the third, Knicks fans couldn’t help but think that this was it; the season’s end was at hand. But as soon as Roy Hibbert exited stage left, Carmelo started…

The Knicks were handed a home loss in game one of their second round matchup versus the Indiana Pacers. Or perhaps that’s not really phrasing it correctly. To say that the Knicks handed the Pacers the victory feels a bit more apt. I am saying this not to detract from…

It took one overtime period for it to be determined that the proud-minded Boston Celtics would not fall victim to a sweep at the hands of their Atlantic Division rivals. However, for many New York Knick fans, this game felt like a blessing in disguise, since the ‘Bockers will now have a…

Yesterday marked the stiffest challenge that the Knicks have faced on their then-11 game win streak; squaring off against Western Conference titan Oklahoma City Thunder, at OKC. The two teams had met exactly a month earlier and the ‘Bockers were defeated 95-94. Luckily for the Thunder, during that matchup Carmelo…

Effortless. That’s what Carmelo Anthony made scoring 50 points against the defending NBA champions look like. So effortless in fact, that he didn’t need to drive the lane once in his near immaculate display of midrange-and-beyond marksmanship. Not one single point of his final tally of 50 came beneath the…

After tonight’s game against some team called the Charlotte Bobcats (I know, I haven’t heard of them either), the Knicks will have just 11 games remaining on their schedule. The ‘Bockers latest stretch of play has been befuddling on just about every level. First there was the West Coast road…

One of my favorite aspects of March Madness is imagining the great second round matchups that might occur if everything works out the way I think it will (which happens 5% of the time). Throughout the season, there is a great deal of hyperbole made about conference superiority, but the…
