New York Knicks

Hello again. After a brief holiday respite, during which a crap ton of NBA-related things happened, The Hoop Doctors’ power rankings are back. We know it’s been tough, slogging through these last two weeks without the ability to incessantly check and read and cherish and tell your friends about updated power rankings. But the wait [...]

The New York Knicks aren’t ready to give up on their 2014-15 season. Which is weird. At 5-28, the Knicks are off to their worst start in franchise history. They have the most losses of any NBA team, and they look like a patented shit show. Mathematically, at 9.5 games back of eighth place, they’re [...]

With the New York Knicks unlikely to get anything going this season, their all-star forward Carmelo Anthony has been consistently missing games with an ailing knee injury. His knee injury has been bothering him since almost the start of the season, which has now made him consider possibly sitting out the rest of the season [...]

Rajon Rondo apparently isn’t considered untouchable within the Boston Celtics organization. But you already knew that, of course. He’s been linked to trade rumors for years—since before Anthony Davis had his driver’s permit. Hell, it isn’t a season until Rondo has reportedly been made available. To wit: It’s officially a season. According to ESPN.com’s Marc [...]

Here’s to stability. Never before, in the year-plus since we’ve been doing these power rankings, has there been less movement within a week. Twelve teams are right where they were last week, which is pretty freaking incredible. That’s almost half the Association, and that never happens. And, somewhat surprisingly, it’s the league’s best teams that [...]

Back in the 2009 NBA draft, the Golden State Warriors drafted sharp-shooting guard Stephen Curry as the seventh overall pick. The next to draft after them were the New York Knicks, who were actually planning to draft Curry as well, but ended up with Jordan Hill as the eight overall pick. During that night, little [...]

If the New York Knicks couldn’t get any worse…… Not only are the Knickerbockers the NBA’s third-worst team (4-20) at the moment; They’re also off to the worst start in franchise history, riding a 10-game losing streak, only have three players averaging double figures, and are surrendering close to 100 points per game. The Knicks [...]

Shaquille O’Neal has some words of wisdom for the stumbling, bumbling, fumbling, potentially feuding New York Knicks. Trust Phil Jackson and the famed triangle offense. I’m paraphrasing, of course. That’s not Shaq’s message verbatim, but it’s close. The Big Aristotle went on  SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio channel on Tuesday and talked with Stephen A. Smith [...]

Pssst. Hey! You! Guess what? The Philadelphia 76ers are not the worst team in the NBA right now. True freaking story. Also, pssst! The Chicago Bulls amnestied Carlos Boozer and somehow regressed on the defensive end. Ignoring every other piece of context—Pau Gasol’s arrival, Derrick Rose’s return, Nikola Mirotic’s and Doug McDermott’s inexperience—that’s pretty funny. [...]

When Phil Jackson first arrived at Madison Square Garden to assume control of the Knicks, he did so preaching patience, process and transparency. Most of what Jackson said then has held true. Most importantly, he hasn’t been invisible, hiding behind a crazy-strict media policy. But he hasn’t been incredibly visible either. Or rather, chatty. He [...]
