Searching for the most efficient shots. The other day while I was drinking my morning coffee before I began work, I was perusing the internet and came across a Nylon Calculus article as like any cool, hip person who isn’t a total NBA math herb and absolutely does not smoke a stoge every now and then when first-world problems add stress to one’s life does on a regular basis. The article asked...

Let’s get mad about lists! On today’s ‘sode I’m joined by Ashwin Ramnath to talk about ESPN’s Future Power Rankings and SI’s Top 100. Are these rankings fair? Should we scream bloody murder about the placement of the Knicks and Knicks players? Listen to find out!
Posting and Toasting (The Ghost of Kristaps Past) —
Was last year’s performance just an unsustainable hot streak or something more? We like to believe player development and career progression is a straightforward and relatively linear path, especially for lottery picks. As a rookie you show promise, in your second season you follow it up with more consistency and by years three and four you’ve mostly figured “it” out and established yourself...

Kristaps, and then what? It’s starving time in the NBA, which means rabid news jackals like myself must gnaw on the bones of any available basketball news. Well, Monday turned out to be a good day for fans who love to argue about stuff, as Sports Illustrated premiered their annual “NBA Top 100” post. So how did the Knicks do? Let’s just say...not well. Enes Kanter and Tim Hardaway...

He saved the best (entertainment, at least) for last Many great things in life are fleeting — orgasms, kief highs, young Grant Hill, half the shows to ever air on Adult Swim. For modern-day Knicks fans, almost all pleasures are fleeting. Perhaps no greater example was the 2012-13 Knicks season, an orgasmic blip on a 15-year stretch of basketball erectile dysfunction. Part of the Viagra that...

Old man Kidd and the 2012-13 Knicks were a match made in heaven. Jason Kidd is being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend. For most writers, this is a time to wax nostalgic about one of the greatest point guards ever; for this Knicks scribe, it’s an opportunity to talk about a 39-year-old spot-up jump shooter on the last decent New York squad the world has seen. To be...

These players belong in the MSG pantheon. The number 2 represents the greatest injustice in the history of the Knicks. World War II ended a little over a year before the Knicks began playing, yet they only have two Nixon-era titles to show for it. Appalling. The number 9 represents the second-greatest injustice. Only nine people have had their numbers retired by this organization, and only...

Enes Kanter needs to forget about DRE It’s an important question to ask: do empty statistics exist in basketball? Short answer: no… per se. However, you’re reading this with the intention of me expanding on the topic, so I will continue. This concept of production not leading to value on the court or team wins is a fascinating one. Whether you want to frame the discussion harshly by saying a...

LOL Thibs. September 1 was a critical date for those interested in Joakim Noah ’s fate as a member of the New York Knicks . Now that it has passed, the front office can waive the veteran center and stretch his cap hit over the next three seasons. But that has not yet come to pass. Instead, it was Noah ’s former teammate, Luol Deng , was was waived and stretched by the Lakers on...

An odyssey. I’m not much of a video game guy, but most NBA players are, so I try to pay attention when the new year’s NBA2K player ratings come out. Oftentimes you can find a player or two who flips out over his own low rating. Such was the case with Knicks rookie Kevin Knox , who was stuck with a 74 rating — below what some of his NBA draft peers received. Knox took to Instagram to...
