NBA Rumors – New York Knicks Don’t Think Amare Stoudemire is a Starter

Posted on 23 May, 2013, by in Basketball

The 2012-2013 NBA season was not a good one for Amare Stoudemire, who had his knee problems come back to haunt him as he missed more than 50 games of the regular season, came off the bench in the rest of them and wasn’t healthy in off in the playoffs to give more than 8.3 minutes a night. More

New York Knicks – Jeremy Lin Style of Basketball is Better Than Building Around Carmelo Anthony

Posted on 20 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Hindsight doesn’t make you a genius, but when the New York Knicks decided to let Jeremy Lin go to the Houston Rockets it wasn’t just a money decision. It was about the egos of James Dolan and Carmelo Anthony, and deciding to build a team around a superstar who knows how to play in only one way, and it isn’t the right one. Lin might never be as talented of a scorer like Anthony or James Harden, but playing in a style that feeds off his talent is a better way to find success. More

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Isn’t Going to Lead This Team to Anything

Posted on 19 May, 2013, by in Basketball

A team built around the scoring abilities of Carmelo Anthony is destined to fail, and it has nothing to do with the selfishness of J.R. Smith or the fact that Amare Stoudemire played a total of 33 minutes during the series. James Dolan wanted a superstar to build around, but chose the wrong one, and all the coaching prowess of Mike Woodson isn’t going to matter when the New York Knicks play in the most predictable and easy to counter way possible.

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Finally Finds a Way To Score on Paul George and Play Some Defense

Posted on 17 May, 2013, by in Basketball

With their backs to the wall, the New York Knicks didn’t get the finest out of Carmelo Anthony. Not an MVP-like performance, but whatever it was, it was good enough to keep them alive in the conference semifinal series, forcing a game 6, by finally showing up to the fourth quarter with some big shots against Paul George and some big defense on the other end against David West.

Carmelo Anthony now 31.6% from the field during the series when it’s Paul George that’s guarding him, while shooting 55.6% from the field when others are keeping tabs on him.

Indiana Pacers Keys to Victory – Paul George Shutting Down Carmelo Anthony, Roy Hibbert Doing the Rest

Posted on 16 May, 2013, by in Basketball

The New York Knicks have been embarrassingly bad in their postseason series with the Indiana Pacers, letting Roy Hibbert lead the way in the utter and complete domination under the paint, while their only option on offense, Carmelo Anthony, has been been experiencing the closest thing to legal torture under the hands of Paul George, making the NBA’s top scorer look like an average player at best.

Indiana Pacers – Paul George Defense on Carmelo Anthony Not Going Away

Posted on 15 May, 2013, by in Basketball

It’s one thing to “help” Carmelo Anthony shoot with horrible accuracy from the field; the sheer volume of his attempts from the field aid with that. But Paul George is leading the Indiana Pacers towards the Eastern Conference Finals without being too incredible on offense, but doing an incredible work on the NBA’s leading scorer in the regular season, aided by the fact that his team is annihilating their rivals on the board and in the paint.

New York Knicks – Mike Woodson & Carmelo Anthony Need to Come Up With Answers and Fast

Posted on 12 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Aside from an impressive run in the second game of the series, it keeps looking like the New York Knicks are being outplayed and bullied around in almost every moment of their conference semifinal series, with Mike Woodson doing too much tinkering when it comes to his lineups, while Carmelo Anthony is falling into all the categories his critics keep putting him in over the years, and in short simply playing terrible, selfish and failing basketball.

Indiana Pacers – Roy Hibbert Destroying Tyson Chandler in the Paint

Posted on 12 May, 2013, by in Basketball

In the most un-watchable playoff series in a very long time, seeing Roy Hibbert and in general the Indiana Pacers look so dominant physically is probably the only thing that keeps a lot of people going, but there’s no doubt that through all the ugliness it’s impressive to see a team so confident and so superior in almost every physical battle, getting a lot from Paul George and George Hill when it doesn’t come to offense.

Carmelo Anthony Finally Looks Like a Leader for the Knicks

Posted on 8 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Size can only be taken advantage of when you play on it. The Indiana Pacers stopped trying to make the most of their physical advantages over the New York Knicks in the final quarter of game 2 in their semifinal series, and were punished by Carmelo Anthony at his absolute best and most explosive, while the rest of his teammates followed the lead in one of the most devastating fourth quarter runs in recent memory.

Paul George Makes Life Nearly Impossible for Carmelo Anthony

Posted on 6 May, 2013, by in Basketball

The Indiana Pacers proved to be difficult for the New York Knicks during the regular season, and the opening game of their semifinals series proved to be no different. Paul George guards Carmelo Anthony better than anyone has this season, not only making him miss a lot, but doesn’t send him to the free throw line while doing it. It took a lot out of him on offense, but there was David West and others to pick up the slack. More
