As the Pacers-Knicks series headed back to the Garden for Game 5, there were many doubts about whether New York could even force a Game 6. Indiana had completely dominated both games at home, and the Knicks couldn’t have looked any worse. J.R. Smith had completely fallen off the map, Carmelo couldn’t do it all by himself, and their defense on Roy Hibbert made him look like Kareem. Most reporters were writin ...

We’ve seen it many times, the old New York-Boston rivalry. Yankees-Red Sox, Jets-Pats, and (just a few weeks ago) Knicks-Celtics. Amazingly, though, the Rangers and Bruins haven’t met in the playoffs since 1973. Sure, each team probably has teams they consider rivals, but make no mistake about it that these teams don’t like each other. Besides the New York-Boston history, if the regular season matchups are ...

This has made me sick to my stomach all year long. Knicks fans, which happen to be the worst kind in the NBA, have continually bragged about how great their team is. Some even think they have a chance to take down the Heat, which may be more ridiculous than Carmelo stealing a first place MVP vote from LeBron.

Amare Stoudemire’s season has been one plagued with injury. Just when you thought he was coming into form and getting fully healthy, he was given another hurdle to climb. After originally missing the first thirty games of the season because of a knee injury, he returned and worked his way back to playing on a thirty-minute restriction. Then, to the surprise of Knick fans everywhere, it was announced on Marc ...

Every year, the NBA hands out an award for the league’s best 6th man. However, the value of a team’s 7th man is often underappreciated despite that player’s importance to the overall depth, energy and success to their team. To be eligible for this list, the player: 1. Cannot be a starter 2.  Cannot be in the team’s top six minutes per game 9. Steve Novak, New York Knicks [caption id="attachment_12572" align ...

[caption id="attachment_11872" align="aligncenter" width="610"] via news.sportslogos.net[/caption] The Nets are the turn-around story of the season in the NBA, but it isn’t like people didn’t see it coming. I for one believed from the start of the season that they would finish with a better record than the Knicks. Analysts expected the Nets to make the playoffs even as a top 4 seed.
