Part I here. GUARD (cont): If you wanted to guess which Knick guard will gain the most under D’Antoni, it should be Nate Robinson. The diminutive guard was thought of as a novelty by his last two coaches, and Robinson has struggled to find court time. Over his 3 years he’s averaged only 23.0 minutes [...]
No joke… Isiah Thomas was apparently taken from his home in an ambulance last night, after a bout of weirdness that involved feeling faint because of a stressful family situation, or an overdose of sleeping pills. Depends who you believe. Talking heads from the police, hospital and the Knicks are playing it close to the [...]
Just about every season preview begins with a wrap-up of the last year. I’m going to assume that if you’re here reading this, you don’t really need a review of last year.

Should Duhon have an awful preseason it’s possible that he could lose his job to Marbury or even Robinson. There have [...]
Due to a recent court decision, the earliest the Nets can be in Brooklyn will be 2011. That’s assuming Bruce Ratner can raise the money to build the Atlantic Yards development period, which, due to the current credit crisis, is far from a sure bet.
The fishwrap is reporting that D’Antoni went on an “unsolicited diatribe” about defense prior to last night’s 110-104 win over Philly. The new coach is, perhaps understandably, a bit bristly over his Marbury-like reputation for defensive indifference.
