There’s a moment in the excellent film, The Verdict, where Paul Newman’s Frank Galvin is being consoled by his old friend and partner, Mickey Morrissey, played by Jack Warden. Their expert witness had been pretty much fully discredited, and thus the case is seemingly over (Mickey had arranged for Galvin to get the case because […]

Most of the lessons of Revenge of the Nerds are actually kind of fucked up, but there’s at least one point in the film that has a fair lesson for the New York Knicks. The part where they fix up their shitty frat house to the tune of “One Foot in Front of the Other” […]
The Knicks got the first game of the pair of games that they needed to win to make this beyond just A series, but a series that they would be primed to win, and tonight is the other pair that they need. Aaron Nesmith is playing, but you have to believe he won’t be at […]
The Knicks head to Indiana where they pretty much have to make a stand, hence the title of this post. Six teams have made 0-2 comebacks, so it CAN be done, but it has to start now. Let’s go, Knicks! 8 more wins to go! The Dylan tune is “They Killed Him,” a super-cheesy song […]
As you might have heard, the New York Knicks had a bit of a difficult time with the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of this series, having one of the worst collapses in NBA playoff history. Luckily, a fun thing about sports is that you get to go back and play another one two days […]

Come on, how is this a 7pm game? Anyhow, let’s just get this done. Let’s go, Knicks! 9 wins left to go! The Dylan tune is “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight.”
The Knicks host the Boston Celtics for what now becomes the biggest game of the Knicks’ season, as a win here would put the Knicks in extremely good shape to win the series, while a loss…well, it would not put them in a particularly good position to win the series. In Game 3, the Celtics’ […]
The hard times will be for the Celtics in New York Town, as the Knicks host the Celtics after the defending NBA champs blew 20-point leads in BACK-TO-BACK playoff games for the first time in NBA history, and the Knicks are set to take a commanding 3-0 lead on the Celtics. The Garden will be […]
Well, you all know what I had to say about the first game, and the Knicks did exactly what I hoped that they would, and turned around the narrative. So now the aura of inevitability is completely gone from the Celtics, but there is still that sense that the Knicks got “lucky” in Game 1, […]
