“One of the most entertainingly stupid games I’ve seen in a long time.” – Frank O. How to sum this up for those that might have missed this sordid affair? Well, it’s a game the Knicks should have won, that for the majority of it, they should have lost, that for a second there in [...]

With 3 games in the books, let’s take a quick look at how the team is doing. * A few interesting things to notice with Amar’e’s stats. His turnovers (5.7 to/36) are more than double his career rate (2.7 to/36). His worst in Phoenix was 3.1, which he did in 2004 and 2007. Astute KnickerBlogger [...]
