New York Knicks – Kissing the Playoffs Goodbye
The beginning of a new streak, a losing one this time, points to the true identity of the 2014 New York Knicks. A bad defensive team with a mentally weak group that was able to look good for short spurts during the season because of focus, effort and momentum. But when things don’t go their way early, embarrassing losses like the 127-96 one to the Los Angeles Lakers happen.

New York Knicks – The End of a Playoff Dream?
The Cleveland Cavaliers won’t be making the playoffs this season, but with a 106-100 win they might have made sure that the New York Knicks don’t either, snapping the eight game winning streak as Jarrett Jack and Dion Waiters made it seem like Kyrie Irving wasn’t even missing.

Knicks Over Pacers – The Beginning of a New Era
There’s that feeling in the air of something new, and hope, which hasn’t been something the New York Knicks have been attached with this season. Phil Jackson in the stands, Carmelo Anthony on the court, and a growing winning streak, this time beating the Indiana Pacers 92-86.

New York Knicks – Streaking All Over the Weaklings
Who could have guessed that in Mid-March the New York Knicks would be the hottest team in the Eastern conference? Following their 116-92 win over the Boston Celtics, as Carmelo Anthony enjoys another fantastic game, they’ve won five in a row, and the playoffs that seemed impossible to reach not long ago are now a very real possibility.

New York Knicks – The Improbable Streak Continues
Despite the ‘spread the love’ feel from looking at the box score from the 123-110 win for the New York Knicks over the Philadelphia 76ers, it was more about awful shooting from Carmelo Anthony and excellent offense from Tim Hardaway Jr. which made it seem like it was all about sharing the ball and getting everyone involved.

New York Knicks & Phil Jackson – Not a Match Made in Heaven
While the New York Knicks are once again planting (false?) hope among their fans with a streak of wins that might help them somehow get into the playoffs, the hottest topic in the big apple seems to be the possibility of Phil Jackson becoming the head of basketball operations on the team next season, with the option of coaching the team also in the air.

New York Knicks – The Playoffs Continue to Get Closer
We mentioned another misleading streak beginning yesterday. It seems it’s not over yet, as the New York Knicks came away with a 107-97 win over a direct rival for the final postseason spot, the Cleveland Cavaliers, after another impressive scoring performance by Carmelo Anthony and generally the offense-oriented lineup doing its job.

New York Knicks – Another Misleading Streak Begins
Every now and then Mike Woodson makes a desperate change in his lineup which starts a winning streak that creates the illusion of a good team come together again. The New York Knicks beating the Utah Jazz 108-81 with another big game from Carmelo Anthony is another one of those moments when it seems this dysfunctional team might actually make the playoffs.
