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

NBA Rumors – New York Knicks Currently Stuck With Jason Kidd

Posted on 22 May, 2013, by in Basketball

After turning 40 and having the worst postseason imaginable, many expected Jason Kidd to announce his retirement after 19 NBA seasons. Nothing wrong, even for a future hall of fame player, admitting that the game of professional basketball is a bit too much for him right now. However, according to people with the New York Knicks, Kidd is planning on remaining with the team a little while longer. 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. More

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.

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.

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.

NBA Playoffs – Pacers vs Knicks Game 2 Predictions

Posted on 7 May, 2013, by in Basketball

The New York Knicks are in trouble, and not just because of their game 1 loss at home curse. They’re in trouble because the Indiana Pacers have found out how to make Carmelo Anthony look pretty bad for an entire game, through their own brand of stifling defense and going for the teeth offense, and they don’t have a backup plan to counter it.

New York Knicks – Why They Won’t Win Their Series With the Indiana Pacers

Posted on 6 May, 2013, by in Basketball

The New York Knicks are doomed. Losing in Game 1, at home, to the Indiana Series means they have no chance to come back and claim the conference semifinal series. It doesn’t have anything to do with field goal percentage, Carmelo Anthony shooting, offensive rebounding or scoring in the paint. History paints a much simpler picture – the Knicks get knocked out whenever they lose Game 1 at home. More
