That headline is not a typo. Tonight the Knicks held an opponent to less than 80 points for the first time since a 102-73 win over the Nets on April 15 of last year. The Hawks shot 45% from the field, got to the line only 9 times, and committed a woeful 19 turnovers en [...]

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 [...]

Ouch. Not much to say about this one. The Bucks got off to a scalding start, led 41-19 after a quarter and dropped a 27-point beatdown on the Knicks. After Milwaukee’s 14/17 start from the field, the Knicks actually tightened up and played passable defense the rest of the way. The Knicks’ offense, however, was [...]

I’m planning a more analytical piece for Monday but for now I just thought I’d pass along a few notes. Thanks to some help from the TrueHoop Network, I was able to get a press credential to do the Daily Dime Live in the press box at last night’s game. This afforded me the opportunity [...]

Bill Walker led the team with 28 points and Chris Duhon chipped in 5 assists. The Raptors piled up 73 points before halftime of last season’s finale at the Air Canada Centre [...]

Recently, I exchanged e-mails with Sam Holako of Raptors Republic regarding the Knicks, Raptors, and the upcoming season in the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference at large. Sam has posted our Q&A on his site: http://raptorsrepublic.com/2010/08/27/beyond-the-raptors-kevin-mcelroy-and-the-knicks/ Feel free to check it out. Hopefully, we’ll occasionally do some similar features throughout the 2010-2011 season with Sam [...]

I wanted Chris Taft. If you’re ever talking Knicks with me and I’m ragging on Isiah or Layden, talking about how unfathomable it was to draft Balkman with Rondo and Marcus Williams on the board and the Knicks without a point guard, killing the Steve Francis trade as simultaneously short-sighted and bad for the short term [...]
