Even Wikipedia Hates Isiah

December 16th, 2007 by Brian Cronin

After the fold, I will quote the current Wikipedia entry for Isiah Thomas. It is a pretty amusing piece of work, as this is supposedly written with a “neutral viewpoint.” See for yourself if you think it reads as neutral or not.

The Worst Article Of 2007

December 3rd, 2007 by Mike Kurylo

Folks it’s about that time of year again, to announce the worst article of 2007. While there were many fine candidates throughout the year there’s one article that was published just 2 days ago that has surpassed all others. I’m proud to say that this work is right up there with previous winners such as [...]

2008 Season Preview: The Backcourt & Swingmen

October 31st, 2007 by Mike Kurylo

The Backcourt Statistically Stephon Marbury still remains above average offensively, but he’s not nearly as productive as he used to be. The Knicks PG still is effective with his incursions to the basket, and at the latter stages of his career he’s become a better shooter. However to the eye Marbury doesn’t appear to be [...]

$11.6M Part III: Why this Means the Knicks Will Continue to Stink

October 5th, 2007 by David Crockett

If you haven’t check out Part I and Part II. In Part II I made a case for how the Anucha Brown Sauders verdict (as well as the handling of Don Chaney’s dismissal) illustrates a fatal flaw–contempt–in Thomas’ decision making style. My point is simply that contempt (a callous disregard for others) is not simply [...]

$11.6M Part II: What This Means for the Franchise

October 4th, 2007 by David Crockett

As you no doubt are aware, a jury has sided with former Knicks executive Anucha Brown Saunders and found the New York Knickerbockers and the Madison Square Garden organization guilty of sexual harassment (perpetrated primarily by Knicks team president Isiah Thomas). The Knicks and MSG were also held liable for creating a hostile work environment [...]

Knicks 2007 Report Card (A to Z): Stephon Marbury

August 6th, 2007 by Mike Kurylo

KnickerBlogger: When Marbury first arrived in New York, the Knicks’ offense centered around his pick & roll game. Stephon was never a top flight offensive talent, but was consistently good, a near All Star. However in 2006 Larry Brown insisted on stamping his brand of basketball on the offense and curtailed Marbury’s game. The Knick [...]

Knicks 2007 Report Card (A to Z): Steve Francis

July 2nd, 2007 by Mike Kurylo

KnickerBlogger: When Steve Francis came into the league, his All Star game earned him the nickname “Franchise.” An alliteration on his last name, but Francis hardly deserves that moniker anymore. Along those lines, maybe we can find a few words to describe the Knick guard. Fragile or Fractious? The first thing that comes to my [...]
