New York Knicks

Come one, come all, you’re just in time to take part in the first NBA power rankings of the holiday season! This is big stuff, I know, so we’ll get right to it. A lot is happening now that the 2015-16 season is hitting its stride. The Warriors are still the Warriors; the Pacers are [...]

Carmelo Anthony seems excited about the New York Knicks’ future. So long as the future includes Kristaps Porzingis. The 20-year-old asparagus spear that many Knicks fans booed on draft night had himself another encouraging, if outright dominant, outing on Tuesday night in the Knicks’ win over the Charlotte Hornets. He finished with 29 points and [...]

It seems that someone forgot to tell the Houston Rockets that the NBA’s 2015-16 regular season is underway. The early part of 2015-16 has no doubt been weird. Some of the usual juggernauts are juggernauting, but this year’s landscape is rife with early-season underachievers, the fast-plummeting Rockets being among them. Can Houston regain its 2014-15 [...]

Kristaps Porzingis has the approval of Anthony Davis. Which means Porzingis is officially free to retire. Davis and Porzingis squared off against one another on Sunday. The box score would suggest that Davis got the better of him, and on an individual level, he clearly did. But the New York Knicks would end up beating [...]

NBA Power Rankings are back! After a short delay, the return of The Hoop Doctors’ weekly look at where the league stands is once again ready for liftoff. There are no rules here, so check your need for order at the door. These rankings, like always, are going to change from week to week. That’s [...]

This update on the friendships shared between people who are much richer than you is brought to us by LeBron James. Ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 96-86 victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, a game that was far closer than the score reflects, Carmelo Anthony and LeBron were naturally asked about each [...]

Four games into the season, the New York Knicks’ highly-touted rookie in Kristaps Porzingis has been proving his critics wrong thus far. The fourth overall pick of this year’s draft has posted respectable averages of 11.3 points and 6.3 rebounds. This has definitely given Knicks fans more reason to feel optimistic about not just their [...]

Manu Ginboili has veto power over San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich. Well, not really. But he has the ability to change Coach Pop’s mind. Popovich apparently had plans to sit Manu Ginobili against the New York Knicks on Monday night, a move he thought that Ginobili agreed to. As it turns out, Coach [...]

Kristaps Porzingis is hurt. Again. But his injury isn’t believed to be serious. Again. Late in the fourth quarter of the New York Knicks’ 94-84 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, Porzingis and Carmelo Anthony were involved in a chaotic scrum for an offensive rebound; Anthony came up with it and either fell or stepped [...]

Carmelo Anthony is trying to stay positive. Trying being the operative word. The 13-year veteran hasn’t played particularly well through the New York Knicks’ first two games of the 2015-16 season, his first appearances since undergoing knee surgery after last year’s All-Star tilt. Following an 10-of-27 showing from the field in the Knicks’ Thursday night [...]
