By MITCH LAWRENCE, DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER The Lakers exposed the Suns' new and supposedly improved defense, which was overhyped from the start. But they're still No. 1 out West. Meanwhile, the Knicks are coming to the Meadowlands in a battle for the Big Apple basement.

The New York Knicks have decided not to pursue Allen Iverson. Team president Donnie Walsh said Friday the team won't make any additions at this time despite its 2-9 record. He added the decision to pass on the former MVP had nothing to do with Iverson's ability to play. "I've always admired him...

By By JONATHAN ABRAMS Few predicted the Knicks would contend for the playoffs this year. Few, however, thought the team would start the season 1-9.

By FRANK ISOLA, DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER The Knicks are now so bloody awful that Friday night they were outclassed by the NBA's most dysfunctional team. Golden State showed up at Madison Square Garden as the more organized, dedicated and talented team. It wasn't even close.

By By JONATHAN ABRAMS The Knicks’ top executive, Donnie Walsh, believes he made all the right moves last season, but his team is 1-8 and barely treading water.

By pacejmiller The drought is over.  The Indiana Pacers finally recorded their first win of the season with a solid 101-89 victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

By By HOWARD BECK Preparing for the 2010 free-agent class, the Knicks offered their players short-term contracts; good for bookkeeping but perhaps not for morale.

By James Edwards In the early 1970’s, the Knicks dazzled New York with brilliant team play and a host of great players. Coached by Red Holzman, they featured DeBusschere and Bill Bradley at forward, Willis Reed at center and Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe and Dick Barnett at guard.

 CA by gozer (Senior Writer) The New York Knicks had three first round picks in the 2005 NBA Draft. But their first round pick, Channing Frye, turned out to be the worst one. He did enjoy a productive rookie season averaging 12.3 points and 5.8 in rebounds ...

More than a decade ago, Knicks-Bulls was the best rivalry the NBA had to offer, even if Jordan made it one-sided. These days, the rivalry is reduced to the Knicks trying to sabotage Chicago's playoff hopes. "It's good for our guys," Mike D'Antoni said. ...

CHICAGO, April 8 (UPI) -- Kirk Hinrich came off the bench Tuesday to score 25 points in the Chicago Bulls' 110-103 win over the New York Knicks. John Salmons added 19 points, Tyrus Thomas and Derrick Rose 18 apiece and Ben Gordon 17 as the Bulls won ...

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) The Lakers, who struggled mightily on defense for most of the game, trailed 37-26 after the first quarter. Early in the season, some commentators breathlessly raved about the Lakers' "new" defensive scheme but when I recently spoke with Lakers commentator Stu Lantz and Lakers assistant coaches Frank Hamblen and Jim Cleamons about the Lakers' defense they made several important observations: 1) Lantz said, "I really do like the Celtics’ defense because the Celtic defense is consistent for 48 minutes; regardless of the score, it is consistent for 48 minutes...I think that they (the Lakers) have a step to go to get to the Celtics’ level because of the consistency with which they play."   [read the full post]

By Michael Tiedemann If the Knicks were able to pull something like that off, someone should treat Donnie Walsh and Mike D’Antoni to a nice steak dinner. Speaking of the Knicks and former-Suns, it was nice to see D’Antoni get that ovation in Phoenix on Monday night. Too bad the power suddenly went out.

By Kelly Dwyer To begin, Allan Houston wasn't on the Knicks when they tried to sign Mike. He ended up signing with them that summer using most of the cap space New York made the desperate attempt to sign Jordan with. Really, signing Michael to a large deal would have left the Knicks with Ewing, Oakley, John St...

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) I would say the 6ers really have better defenders than the Celtics... The 6ers are much longer and more athletic than the Celtics. The Celtics play very good defense as a team but so do the 6ers... If the Knicks lose by ONLY 20 pointsI'd consider that a moral victory. I'm dead serious...... Q-rich is still not impressed with the Celtics I'm impressed. They are not letting the Celtics Uglify the game. Paul Pierce has always been a flailer and a chest pounder. Now he's also a defensive flopper. He's turning into a more annoying version of Reggie Miller. How have the Knicks gotten 20 more FT attempts than the Celtics? I don't care if it is the preseason. A win against the Cetics is always good. I hate the Celtics.   [read the full post]

Maybe the Knicks can make a move for Baron Davis since he wants out of Golden State. The Knicks are not done making moves so stay tuned.

By FLCeltsFan Here are comments found around the Knicks boards during their game with the Celtics. As much as I dislike the Knicks, you have to feel for their fans. One day the Isiah reign of terror will be looked back on like the Pitino years in Boston. They have a good man in Walsh who can pull them out of it so that's a start. The fact that this team just lost to the Celtics bench is EXACTLY why people root for them to lose. They suck and deserve to lose, its that simple. How can you root for a team to win that cant even beat a Celtics bench? Last years draft reeks of a fix. It was Stern's middle finger to tankers. Discuss this topic on the Celtics Green Forums!]   [read the full post]

The big news in the NBA today is the New York Knicks have finally made a move in its front office, hiring former Indiana Pacers' CEO Donnie Walsh as its new president and making Isiah Thomas just the coach. There is a possibility that Walsh could retain Thomas as the coach for next season.

By Sam Rubenstein Uh…yeah. Oh! The Knicks didn’t score 50 until 5:30 left in the third quarter. MT: Where do you rank yourself in the point guard pantheon? MT: Is it realistic? How are players going to adjust from playing on the west coast and then head off to Paris?

By FLCeltsFan Knicks 8.5 point dogs at home vs Celtics. Worst part is I think its fair. Does anyone think we will come within 4 points of winning after getting killed last time we met. Rondo is hurt and Marbury is gone our advantage. If we can stay within 10 points after the 1st period I think we gotta a chance. COME ON YO BRING ON THE CELTS GO NY GO NY GOOOO. Curry Zach and Lee wreaking havoc in the frontcourt nate n jamal in the backcourt KNICKS 103 CELTS 99 This is a good barometer for the Knicks. Are they for real, or did they just beat up on a few tired teams last week? At what time of the game do the "Fire Isiah" chants start? Randolph is an awful player and teammate. Can't wait to get rid of this Supersized Marbury .   [read the full post]

By David Friedman The Lakers pulled away in the second quarter, outscoring the Knicks 24-16, as Bryant had five points and five assists. Frazier noted that a big reason that the Lakers are doing better this year is their improved defense and he contrasted that with the poor defense that the Knicks play: "This is how the Knicks get behind by double digits. They have offensive futility and then their defense can't contain the other club." The Knicks also had serious ballhandling problems in the first half, committing 13 turnovers. A big reason for the team's woes in all of these areas--"offensive futility," turnovers and poor defense--is that the Knicks do not have any reliable, legitimate point guards on the roster. Their most talented guards are not true poi...   [read the full post]

Overheard -- Lots of oohs an aahs from the crowd as Durant put on a shooting clinic tonight. More chants of “Fire Isiah” at the end of the game as the Knicks lost their fourth straight. New York coach Isiah Thomas also was soundly booed during the opening introductions.

By Eric Williams And Seattle will have to bring a much stronger defensive effort tonight than they did against the Bulls on Tuesday. Allowing dribble penetration again came back to haunt the Sonics, so it will be important to keep Knick guard Jamal Crawford. Oregon product Fred Jones should play a lot if Ste...

By David Friedman The third article was a profile of the late, great Gus Johnson. I'm all in favor of honoring the legends of the game, as any visitor to this site can plainly see--but this article did not really capture the essence of Johnson's career. Johnson and Dave DeBusschere engaged in several memorable playoff battles when Johnson was with the Bullets and DeBusschere was with the Knicks; to write about Johnson and not devote significant space to his rivalry with DeBusschere would be like writing about Magic Johnson without mentioning Larry Bird (or vice versa). My 2006 article about the DeBusschere-Johnson rivalry explains that their matchup not only provided compelling theater but often decided which of their teams would win. As Knicks Coach Re...   [read the full post]

By Atma Brother ONE For the night the Curry-Randolph Twinkie Twosome racked up 2 assists to their 10 turnovers.
