I don’t want a lot for Christmas/there is just one thing I need/Keep on piling all these losses/so that Zion’s chance increases* Hey, Christmas came early this year! I never thought they would have actually pulled off this loss, but alas, here we are talking about a miserable and tank-empowering loss to the extremely lowly Hawks, who count on their roster an NBA player (Collins),...

Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to root for a structurally sound winning team. I mean, not just a team that might end up with 42+ wins this season; a team that’s pretty much guaranteed a stable course of 45+ wins in the next three years, with a hopeful peak of 55+ and a Conference Finals appearance at worst. I’m an NBA fan since 1994, and a Knicks fan since 2008 (but was...

Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the tank. Guys, this was such an amazing display of tanking prowess that I’m so proud of our guys. I mean, it was a bit too much on the nose at first. Lance Thomas as your first substitute? After he didn’t play for like a bazillion games? And after he’s Lance Thomas? But it didn’t look like it was enough. After all, these Suns...

I had a fever, and the prescription was more zone defense. A decent loss, nothing to write home about, a game where the Knicks were pretty much always in the mix but couldn’t pull it off when they needed to (not that it mattered, after the win against Charlotte we are in dire need of quality losses – even if I’m not sure if this counts as one). The main new wrinkle in...

Hear me out, I have a proposal. What if we started every game with a -15 handicap from the beginning? I mean, if that’s what it takes for Fiz to feel safe playing our kids a lot of minutes, why not (all the same, somebody has to explain to me how come that you choose to play Hezonja and Mudiay to win games)? We were treated to a game where scores were approximately a lot for them and a...

Why does it have to be so hard? One of my favourite definition of insanity is the (misattributed to Einstein) following quote: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. For the umpteenth time this season, and more specifically the fourth in a row, the Knicks looked lost both on and off the court well into the second half of the game. On...

Today I woke up and followed my normal routine of recap weekdays: set the alarm at 7am local time (1am ET), grab the iPad, spend the next 90 minutes give or take watching the Knicks while forming ideas for the recap according to whatever events unfold, eat something, drink espresso, get ready to leave my house for the day. Usually, next thing I do is driving my car to work. Today it was...

Odi et amo. Quare id faciam, fortasse requiris. Nescio, sed fieri sentio, et excrucior. Ah, the immortal words of the Latin poet Catullus. “I hate and love [you]. Why I do that, perhaps you might ask. I don’t now, but I feel it has to be, and I suffer”. Setting aside the fact that it’s one of my favorite piece of poetry of all time (so concise, so full of meaning and...
