2008 Game Thread: Knicks at Wizards

January 18th, 2008 by Mike Kurylo

Check out this article by Kevin Broom on the Arenas-less Wizards http://realgm.com/src_goaltending/133/20080117/are_the_wizards_better_without_gilbert_arenas/ This season, the Wizards are indeed a bit better than they were last year — overall. The improvement is not in any of the commonly cited reasons (improved ball movement, better shot selection, more “sharing” of the ball), however. Has the team’s shot [...]

The Post, along with other outlets, is reporting that Stephon Marbury is “a lock” to have surgery on a chronically fracutred bone spur in his ankle.

There’s something odd with me. I got off a plane, and traveling in that manner usually messes you up.

Halftime, the Knicks are actually up three on the Rockets. David Lee and Nate Robinson sure had themselves a half, eh? Discuss, folks!

2008 Thread: Knicks at Bulls 1/8/2007

January 8th, 2008 by Brian Cronin

Here is a discussion thread, for those folks still willing to suffer through Knicks’ games. Drown your sorrows here, fellas! By the by, has anyone else noticed that the Knicks aren’t even being DISCUSSED really anymore? They’re simply used as a punchline. For other bad teams, columnists make suggestions and stuff like that – for [...]
