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.

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.

Posted on 28 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

The New York Knicks began the season with unselfish ball movement, unstoppable three point shooting and excellent defense.

Smith coming off the bench is the one who steals the show. More

Posted on 19 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

Who knew that the combination of Kenyon Martin, Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby and Jason Kidd might be enough to stop the losing streak the New York Knicks were on, doing just about enough at their advanced age to put the absence of Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Amare Stoudemire off the headlines, just for once?

One of the weirdest stories to make its way to the headlines this season is Carmelo Anthony actually going for two entire weeks without meat or carbs, which might be one of the reasons the New York Knicks haven’t been looking so hot in recent weeks, just like their star hasn’t. More

Posted on 6 Jan, 2013, by in Basketball

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony & Amare Stoudemire Aren’t the Problem

Posted on 2 Jan, 2013, by in Basketball

Where are the New York Knicks that led the Eastern Conference and were talking about nothing less than a conference final? After losing five of their last eight games, no one is talking about Carmelo Anthony as the MVP or how Amare Stoudemire is going to fit in with him and the others.
