Season

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. [...]

December 17, 2010 – Kevin Burke A few years ago, Celtics coach Doc Rivers was almost fired because he wasn’t generating enough wins for the team. He was spared his job and was brought back.

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 [...]

November 8, 2010 – Kevin Burke I have to admit, I was getting worried. The season is officially underway and after the first week, no one from the organization had heard from Danilo Gallinari. He wasn’t returning phone calls or anything. But finally, there was a Danilo Gallinari sighting. All this time I thought the poor [...]

November 1, 2010 – Kevin Burke If you missed it last week, I’ll fill you in quickly. This season, TheHoopDoctors.com will be bringing you a weekly update every Monday on the Knicks season, since they essentially decided to basically forfeit two years leading up to the 2010 summer free agency.
