Knicks 114, Bucks 108

February 24th, 2011 by Kevin McElroy

I take it you’re here to read about Toney Douglas? Tonight, Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups made their Knicks debuts. Both shot poorly from the field (10/25 and 4/12 respectively), but each made key contributions in the fourth quarter as the Knicks held on for a 114-108 win over a Bucks team that is just [...]

With the Knicks finally acquiring Carmelo Anthony, I thought I’d take a close look at New York’s latest All Star from a few different perspectives. In each area, I attempted to use statistics to lead the discussion. WHO DOES CARMELO COMPARE TO HISTORICALLY? A few years ago I came up with my own method of [...]

February 23rd, 2011 by Mike Kurylo

Jeremy from Roundball Mining Company, was kind enough to answer some questions about the new Knicks. BALKMAN KB: How did Denver use him most often, as a PF or SF? RMC: Balkman was not used often enough to classify him as either. Two seasons ago I would say he was used more at power forward. [...]
