December 21, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Carmelo Anthony is the most lethal scoring machine in the NBA. Considering that fact plus his relatively young age for an NBA star makes him the prime target of a number of teams once they heard ‘Melo wanted out of Denver this season. Carmelo has made it clear [...]

December 21, 2010 – Kevin Burke Last summer before the season began, Dwight Howard told The Hoop Doctors that despite the Miami Heat forming an Eastern Conference All-Star squad, and the Boston Celtics adding size on their front line, he felt as if his Orlando Magic were the best team in the East. Well, he [...]

December 20, 2010 – Kevin Burke Last week I took a break from Monday’s Weekly Knicks Notes, but if I did scribe one you would’ve read me go on and on about how great the Knicks are. I would’ve bored you into unconsciousness with how they’ve turned the corner and how they can give any [...]

December 20, 2010 – Alex Rosencutter With the first All-Star ballot results released Thursday, I am truly disappointed. People always talk about the corruption of the BCS rankings and how messed up it is. Why not talk about the corruption of the voting process for the NBA All-Star game? The players who are truly deserving [...]

The New York Knicks are better than expected, 16-11, 6 games behind Boston. 8-2 last 10 games.  They had won 7 games in a row before losing to the Boston Celtics at the hands of a late Paul Pierce jumper.  Also, they have one of the best records on the road this season at 10-4. [...]

That summer General Manger, Danny Ainge was able to attain Ray Allen and then Kevin Garnett a few weeks later. [...]

December 6, 2010 – Kevin Burke Pardon me, while I deviate from the usual format of Monday’s Weekly Knicks Notes, but it’s only fitting because things are anything but usual in Knicks country these days. This just in: The Knicks are for real. With yesterday’s win in Toronto, that gave the Knicks their 9th road [...]

November 29, 2010 – Kevin Burke I think they have hit their stride. Things seem to be clicking and running smoothly. Guys know their role and are maximizing their potential. Since coming off that 6 game losing streak, the Knicks have looked good, winning 6 of their last 7, including a 5 game win streak [...]

November 25, 2010 – R.S. De France I know it’s only the end of November, but we’ve played enough basketball in this 2010-11 NBA Season to have a glimpse of who has improved from last season and who has not. I think often times people can confuse an increase in scoring production with most improved [...]

November 22, 2010 – Kevin Burke I must admit, I was extremely nervous heading into last week. The Knicks were riding a 5 game losing streak and showed no sign of breaking that skid. Then, on the horizon was their annual early season West Coast trip so I didn’t think that time away from the [...]
