D'Antoni to Knicks...  Wrong Move

Most Knicks fans would be pleased with Mike D’Antoni signing a four-year deal to coach the Knicks.    The former Suns coach boasts a career 267-172 record, and is considered an offensive genius.  His Suns averaged over 110 points a game.  Ranked in the bottom four of the Eastern Conference, the Knicks could …

Knicks Put the Moves On D'Antoni

It didn’t take long for Donnie Walsh to identify his largest asset in New York: His checkbook.

The meat. While it seems that Suns coach Mike D’Antoni may have not “technically” received an offer from the Knicks, according to ESPN negotiations have advanced to the point that the Knicks on …

Kenny Smith To Interview For GM Position, Find New Tailor

So far, while Knicks president Donnie Walsh has proven true to his word and fairly accessible to the local media, he nonetheless continues to play things close to the vest. However, the more you read, the more likely it seems that in addition to a new head coach, the team …

Not So Fast!

When it was announced that former Indiana Pacers’ CEO Donnie Walsh had agreed to take over as the Knicks’ President of Basketball operations, there was dancing in the streets (I did a back flip followed by a cartwheel). The reign that was “Isiah the Terrible” is over! However, as ecstatic as we all are about …

Zeke Leaves 'Em Laughing

After listening to yesterday’s quotes from displaced Knicks team president Isiah Thomas, I think I now understand why Zeke still hasn’t been canned and evidently will instead twist in the wind for the team’s remaining games: Comedic value. After all, the Knicks long ago ceased entertaining fans on the court, and …

Finally, for quite possibly the first time since Patrick Ewing was draining jumpers in a Knicks’ uniform, fans have something to cheer about.

Yeah, I know Isiah is still the coach. And I know Walsh …

Ranting and Raving: Inside the Mind of A Frustrated Hoops Fan

Fellow hoops fans, we’re in a state of mourning. Lets face it, both of our area teams are horrible. The Nets are rebuilding with what would be the equivalent of rotten wood and the Knicks…urrggh (beating my head against a brick wall).  So, instead of going into a deeper state of depression, let me get …

QUITE FRANKLY: A Few Thoughts

Looking around the ‘net and watching tv these days, one topic that seems to cause a stir are predictions. Our own J Platt reported on John Kruk’s bold prediction of the Mets finishing third. So I thought I’d throw my two cents in as well. Here’s how I view the NL East finishing up:…
