Tonight New York went into Boston hoping to keep their 2011 season on an upbeat. Unfortunately they came up short against the Celtics, losing 105-101. Although Boston held the lead for most of the game, New York kept it close and occasionally took a lead here & there. In fact New York missed a great [...]

Thought I’d start this early, considering the news about Delonte West. During a three-on-three game with Avery Bradley(notes), Luke Harangody(notes), Semih Erden(notes) and assistant coach Tyronn Lue(notes), West began fouling [Von] Wafer each time the reserve guard touched the ball.

Another polar event was the benching of Chris Duhon, who despite being third on the team in minutes [...]

The entire KnickerBlogger crew gets together to hand out some grades on the trades.

The Good: The Knicks almost beat the Celtics, and for the most of the game they were competetive with one of the best teams in the NBA. In fact New York had a 5 point lead to start the 4th quarter, but couldn’t extend it past 6 points. Nate Robinson had his best game of [...]
