Rasheed Wallace is very good at basketball, but the experience he gives fans is more complicated and more transporting than that.
I think many of us loved the pre-Carmelo 2010-2011 NY Knicks, and most of them are still playing together! Knicks: Amar'e Stoudemire Ray Felton Nuggets: Danilo Gallinari Wilson Chandler Anthony...
http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7687392/new-york-knicks-problems-bigger-coach From espn insider today: Carmelo shot 39.3 percent in January, 39.8 percent in February and 38.9 percent in...
In some obvious news, there are reports D'Antoni has lost the respect of the locker room. If he had benched his stars when they were not playing the right way, maybe he could have salvaged the season, but it's not looking good now. Now "sources" are confirming what the astute P&Ters have noticed for a while. Carmelo is much of the problem. "When Anthony first returned -- and it still appears to be the case -- Lin would bring the ball up court and try to run D'Antoni's system. When Anthony would abandon the offense, Lin would not pass him the ball, which irritated Anthony, sources said. So when Lin tried to talk to Anthony on the court, Anthony would turn his back to the point guard and tune him out. "
Compares Deron Williams with other great young point guards. He's currently #4 among the young guys. Who would you pick to be the face of your team for the next 5-10 years?
Look, the offense is much worse even though the players are mostly the same. The defense appears to be much improved but that's largely because Tyson is one of the best in the game. It's no...
I don't think he's coming back any time soon.
"Williams has grown to enjoy living in New York and he is excited about the off-the-court business opportunities the city provides, so if Howard doesn't join him with the Nets, he would love to...
I don't think the Knicks are ready to play basketball, and their offense has fallen apart. Everyone is hating Toney, but he was not this bad in the past. He has no one to pass to, pressure is up,...
Should be noted that he's led his team to a 13-0 record in the much improved Chinese CBA. Beijing doesn't have the talent or especially the budget of other teams in the league, but you can't argue...
Compares Rajon Rondo with other great young point guards. These six young point guards have been considered players who can instantly make a franchise relevant. If they were all available (and it seems most of them have been on the market), who would you pick to be the face of your team for the next 5-10 years?
Compares Derrick Rose with other great young point guards. These six young point guards have been considered players who can instantly make a franchise relevant. If they were all available (and it seems most of them have been on the market), who would you pick to be the face of your team for the next 5-10 years?
The good news: The Nets are totally screwed so there's some easy wins. I can't imagine Dwight Howard wanting to go to a team with just Deron Williams and a bunch of 9th men. The bad news: It looks...
Who plans to get season tickets? I read they'll go on sale tomorrow. I know prices supposedly went up a lot, but the Knicks should have a great team and the Garden is getting a big makeover. This...
I was thinking about how guys like Jared Jeffries and Big Baby are more valuable than conventional stats indicate because they draw a lot of charges. Then I thought about how it should be in a stat...
Yeah, I know that college performance is what matters most. But there are some thoughts that some guys might be too slow, or too weak for the NBA. This is where the combine can help.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=6384752 Adelman has left the Rockets. He is one of the best coaches in the NBA. He has gotten the most out of his players for years, and overachieved...
What time will tonight's meet up be? Are there any specials? Who's going?
This is an argument that the Knicks can improve with more time playing together, and that they don't need a center any more than they need a tall/defensive forward. The Knicks most used lineup this...
A few of the more observant people here saw that STAT's not played too well lately. He hasn't had the same bounce in his step. Some think he's injured, and maybe he is. After the game last night,...
Hey, look, an article that uses actual numbers to show exactly what all Melo critics have said for months or years. Without Melo, the Nuggets have been the best defensive team in the NBA. That's...
I think it's pretty obvious. Fab Melo and Isaiah Thomas. But in all seriousness, I'm glad the Knicks are projected to get Jimmer. Maybe he can be their Stephen Curry. At worst, he's a huge...
1) What does it say on Sheldon Williams' jersey? She. Williams? Is he S. Williams and Shawne just Williams? 2) Have NBA 2k11 rosters been updated yet? Are the Knicks any better there after this...
The package doesn't actually say the word Snuggie, so I don't know how it compares to any others, but now I look like Laundry Fields in my spare time. I was disappointed to learn there's no back....
I saw that Anthony Randolph only had 3 minutes in last night's win over the Bulls, which makes some sense considering his poor preseason and injury. However, he's supposed to a great young player...
I finally got around to comparing Bosh with Stoudemire. Vote/comment if you wish.
Ryan Wittman, the star of the Cornell basketball team, signed an NBA summer league deal.
Now that Kerr left the GM spot in Phoenix, people are talking again about how Phoenix didn't have the defense to win it all, and how the D'Antoni/Gentry system just can't win because of lack of...
It's not his shoulder, it's his head.
With the 6th pick of the 2008 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks selected Danilo Gallinari, a 6′10″ forward with a sweet stroke, questionable defensive ability, limited assists, and a health issue....
