Knicks Win the First-Ever Toilet Bowl in NJ

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:51:58 +0000

1:00 PM ET, November 21, 2009 IZOD Center East Rutherford, NJ Who says the NBA can't have bowl games? Today at the New Jersey Nets' own arena, the franchise reached an incredible milestone. This accomplishment has gone beyond mediocrity and the depths of NBA lottery hell. Today, the Nets faced their Atlantic division rivals, the New York Knicks. The game featured extremely sloppy plays and just plain bad basketball between the worst the NBA has to offer. Now I have never lied about this, but I'll say it again. As a guy that grew up 20 minutes away from New York City, I do have a soft spot for the teams in the area. That being said, I'm very unbiased and when a team is just plain bad, I say it. Saturday afternoon featured two teams that are atrocious. I can't describe it any other way. The Knicks should have beaten New Jersey by more than seven, as the final score was 98-91 . After all, the majority of their team is healthy, yet still 3-9 after Saturday. As for the Nets, now 0-13 ...

Dolan didn't want Iverson

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:52:31 +0000

Does anybody really believe that as Donnie Walsh was set to give the okay on Allen Iverson it suddenly dawned on him that Iverson has had a troubled past and that he could be create unwanted headaches in New York? If you believe that then you also believe that Lenny Wilkens wasn’t really fired as Knicks coach a few years back he just simply resigned. The Knicks dirty little secret is that Garden Chairman James Dolan is still very much in charge. Is he running the day-to-day operation of the Knicks? Absolutely not. But he did get involved in the decision not to sign Iverson. As recently as Wednesday, Mike D’Antoni gave strong indications that he wanted Iverson, especially with Chris Duhon playing like a third string point guard. Not long after D’Antoni seemed to give the thumbs up to Iverson, Walsh reminded reporters that he would never add a player that the coach didn’t want. So if D’Antoni wanted Iverson and Walsh clearly was leaning that way as well, why ...

All-Star Harris expected to play Saturday for Nets

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:41:26 +0000

Devin Harris is expected to play Saturday, a sorely needed boost for the winless New Jersey Nets. A team spokesman says Harris will come off the bench Saturday when the Nets (0-12) host the New York Knicks. The All-Star point guard has missed 10 straight games with an injured right groin. He was originally hurt in the preseason, then reinjured the groin on Oct. 30 in the Nets' second game of the season.

Not the solution, but could have been an Answer

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:28:19 +0000

There are two very good reasons why the Knicks are knuckleheads for passing on Allen Iverson. For one thing, they've fallen completely off the radar in New York. I've been following sports since about 1960 around here, and I can't remember a time when the Knicks were more irrelevant. For those of us who love the sport, it's a truly sad era. A few silly Iverson headlines could not have hurt. The other reason was also important: The Knicks don't own their draft pick, because Isiah Thomas foolishly sent it away unprotected for Stephon Marbury. I will go to my grave believing that Thomas could have protected that pick if he insisted, but didn't even think it was necessary to negotiate for that concession because he was too prideful to foresee this franchise's complete collapse. In any case, Iverson could have won a few extra games for the Knicks and it wouldn't have cost them any Ping-Pong balls in the draft. They've already thrown all their Ping-Pong balls at Marbury. I guess now we go back to ...

Knicks decide against signing Iverson

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:09:56 +0000

The New York Knicks have decided not to pursue Allen Iverson. Team president Donnie Walsh said Friday the team won't make any additions at this time despite its 2-9 record. He added the decision to pass on the former MVP had nothing to do with Iverson's ability to play. "I've always admired him," Walsh said. "I think he'd be a great addition for a team that's in a different position than we're in and I hope he gets picked up.

What's the Answer For the Knicks? Not Iverson...

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:48:17 +0000

The Knicks have problems. In searching for solutions for an NBA team's struggles, one would inevitably stumble upon The Answer. The problem is that The Answer is really no answer at all. Just part of the same old solution that has failed the Knicks before and put them in the problem they are in now. Confused? So are the Knicks if they think signing Iverson is a solution. Admittedly, I have not seen the books for the Knicks. It is possible that they are just desperate to sell tickets for the remainder of this season. I am not convinced that Iverson does that, however, beyond the first several games he plays. The Knicks have many problems, the most serious of which is image . The Knicks have earned a reputation for taking junk off of the scrap heap and an image of bringing in me first, offensive minded guards (i.e. Steve Francis, Stephon Marbury, etc.). The Knicks are finally on the rebuilding and looking forward wagon. Signing AI would be a relapse of Isaiah like proportion. They hired a ...

Iverson talks in holding pattern

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:23:56 +0000

Allen Iverson isn't coming to the Knicks…at least for tonight that is. A person close to the talks between Iverson and the Knicks said that the club may wait until after this weekend's game against New Jersey and Boston before making a move. In the hours prior to Iverson clearing waivers last night, Donnie Walsh hinted that it was unlikely that the Knicks would sign the free agent guard before Friday. Could it be as simple as this: lose to the 0-12 Nets and Iverson joins the Knicks. Win and perhaps the Knicks hold off on signing him. It may sound crazy but there is a general feeling around the team that if the record was 4-7 and not 2-9 the Knicks wouldn't even be discussing Iverson.
