5 Thoughts on the Win: 1. Jeff Hornacek called it “a great game to watch” but it was impossible to really enjoy it without knowing exactly what is going on in Kristaps Porzingis‘ left knee. The Knicks won their third straight game and moved two games over .500 (15-13), but until a full diagnosis is […]
5 Thoughts on the Win: 1. The game has changed, we all know this. The NBA is heading to an era where there may be just two positions on the court: guard and forward. The All-Star voting already reflects this direction. You vote for two guards and three forwards. Lineups are starting to reflect this […]
5 Thoughts on the Loss: 1. On a night the Knicks (11-12) fell under .500, Jeff Hornacek admitted “the battle just wasn’t there for us” and he threw in the towel early in the third quarter. The Knicks were already down by 26 at the half and came out to start the third with a […]
5 Thoughts From The Game: 1. Suddenly the Knicks are missing 43 points from their lineup. It wasn’t much of a surprise to see Kristaps Porzingis (25.3 points per game) out while still dealing with the ankle injury he suffered early in Wednesday’s game against the Heat. But the team was caught off guard when […]
5 Thoughts From The Win: 1. The X-Ray machine in a back room under the lower bowl of The Garden has taken pictures of some famous body parts over the years. But the most important to date is the last one it took: the right ankle of Kristaps Porzingis. Apparently, replays of the injury were […]
Blazers 103, Knicks 91 1. While listening to Jeff Hornacek‘s post game media address, I immediately thought of one of Herb Brooks’ memorable lines to his team in the movie, “Miracle.” It was the famous “Again” scene. “You think you can win on talent alone? Gentlemen, you don’t HAVE enough talent to win on talent […]
Rockets 117, Knicks 102 1. Is James Harden an entertaining player? After watching him closely in the two games the Rockets played against the Knicks this month, it’s not a question you can easily answer. There are stars in this league who are virtuoso performers who are worth the price of admission. LeBron James, obviously. […]
Hawks 116, Knicks 104 1. Let’s start with a positive: This was a good game if you are Enes Kanter‘s agent. The hard-working big man was sorely missed and his teammates each referenced his absence as a factor in losing to the team with the worst record in the NBA after building an early 17-point […]
Knicks 107, Clippers 85 1. So Al Trautwig went there on the post game show. He read a headline in the New York Post online edition about how the Melo trade is paying off for the Knicks. At the time of the deal, the prevailing opinion was the Knicks didn’t get enough in return for […]
CAVALIERS 104, KNICKS 101 1. These are the hardest games to endure when going through the come up. A game like this proves two things: 1. there’s enough talent and effort on this team to compete in the East and 2. there’s just not enough experience yet in that talent. This wasn’t a moral victory, […]
