Celtics 105, Knicks 101

Mike Kurylo — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 03:27:21 +0000

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 [...]

2011 Game Thread: Knicks @ Celtics

Mike Kurylo — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 20:12:36 +0000

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. West was increasingly physical to the point that Wafer exited to the locker room midway [...]

Unsung Knicks History – Celtics “Cap-Size” Knicks Salary Cap From the Start

Brian Cronin — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:57:32 +0000

This is the second in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of examinations into different games, events and decisions that impacted Knicks history in some way, shape or form. Stories that are not as famous as, say, LJ's 4-point play or Willis Reed playing Game 7, but still have a place in Knicks history, especially for die-hard fans.

Today, we look at the very first salary cap in Knick history and how the Boston Celtics took advantage of the new salary cap system to keep the Knicks from their goal of signing Celtic Hall of Famer Kevin McHale and almost decimated the early 1980s Knicks!

2010 Game Thread: Knicks @ Celtics

Thomas B. — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 21:30:17 +0000

Happy Saint Patrick’s day. The Knicks (24-45) travel to Boston (42-24) looking for their third consecutive road win. The Knicks are only 9 games out of the final playoff spot with 13 games to play. So if the team can keep up the strong play and combine that with prolonged struggles from Toronto and Chicago the [...]

Milwaukee 83 – New York 67, The Good And The Bad

Mike Kurylo — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:25:52 +0000

You didn’t have to look too deep last night to see examples of the opposing extremes. In a night where the franchise honored the 1970 championship team, their modern day heirs put up a 67 point stinker. Another polar event was the benching of Chris Duhon, who despite being third on the team in minutes [...]

Some Thoughts, Good and Bad

Mike Kurylo — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:48:26 +0000

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 [...]

What’s Wrong With the Knicks?

Mike Kurylo — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:05:07 +0000

The New York Knicks have limped out to a 1-6 start, their worst since 2003 when they began the year 1-8. That season, they eventually finished 37-45, which would actually be an improvement for this team. So although history shows us that all is not lost, there are some issues the team must overcome to [...]

2010 Poll: Who Will Win the East?

Mike Kurylo — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:08:49 +0000

Cleveland Cavaliers (Vegas odds to win title: 3:1) Despite failing to reach the Finals last year, the Cavs remain the favorite to win the East. Over the summer, Cleveland swapped Ben Wallace for Shaq, and while the Big Diesel is merely a fraction of his former dominant self, he’s miles ahead in productivity over Wallace. [...]
