Amar’e Stoudemire is having a really bad week. Or maybe it’s simply the continuation of an impossibly bad season. Let’s review: He spent much of the offseason rehabbing from last summer’s back surgery, and as such, wasn’t really able to prepare for the year. He’s best suited to playing the two-man game with a pick-and-roll [...]

The Knicks will play two more games – minimum – this season… but 2011-12 is effectively over. They aren’t beating Miami… not with the mummified corpse of Mike Bibby logging significant minutes at the point, and not with Iman Shumpert’s knee and Amar’e Stoudemire’s left hand in tatters and Jeremy Lin in street clothes.

Everyone in their town has adult supervision, but Max and Ruby appear to be on [...]

So Mike D’Antoni is out. Disappointing, but ultimately inevitable. Don’t get me wrong. I love D’Antoni’s style of play. And I don’t think his four-plus years as coach of the Knicks accurately represent his career accomplishments. He spent his first two years at Madison Square Garden running teams that weren’t designed to win. He finally [...]

Let’s be clear – I think Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony will be very good – if not great – in Mike D’Antoni’s offense for the rest of this season, thanks in no small part to the emergence of Jeremy Lin as floor leader. But I don’t think either one of the Knicks’ big star [...]
