My word, that was awful. Had the Knicks fallen like that in, say, January, we'd get grumpy, but chalk it up to a long season and move on. In Game 3 of a playoff series...woof. Without ever being very far behind, New York hardly competed tonight in Indiana. They forced a poor shooting performance from the Pacers and the Pacers forced absolutely everything else. Indiana played to their...

Well, that was a whole bushel of farts. The Knicks looked flat, soft, and headless, like a flounder in a guillotine. Their offense looked totally drained of both energy and identity while the defense allowed Indiana all the opportunities they needed to get points. Once again, Roy Hibbert ate Tyson Chandler alive while not a single Knick made a consistently positive offensive impact. Lots of...

The series moves to Indiana. Well now. JR Smith is questionable for Game 3 due to illness, #Knicks say. He missed shootaround this AM. — Ian Begley (@IanBegley) May 11, 2013 This being J.R. and the last week or two being the last week or two, the dude could be ridden with every virus known to man and folks will still assume he's hungover or otherwise responsible for his own...

Here's something to file away for when the Knicks are no longer playing basketball (so, hopefully over a month): Pablo Prigioni's agent George Bass told Jared Zwerling today that the li'l sneak may be interested in returning to the Knicks : "Pablo really enjoyed himself here, and he has interest in playing again next year," Bass said. "He's fallen in love with New York, there's no ...

Stoudemire's done some scrimmaging and he should be ready to go. There isn't much news coming from Thursday's Knicks practice, and in the case of Amar'e Stoudemire, no news is probably good news. After another day of walk-throughs, drills, and scrimmages-- 4-4, and full contact -- Amar'e reported no setbacks and the team remained confident if not certain of his progress. Amar'e said he...

The league office just dropped a bunch of fines on a bunch of players for their various infractions in recent playoff games. Among them: J.R. Smith , who will lose $5,000 for this flop in Game 2 against Indiana. Roy Hibbert David West set a moving screen and J.R. disengaged all his muscles and tendons at once to make sure the refs saw the foul. So, it was a $5,000 foul call. That's...

Good morning! I find myself enjoying this bit of peace between playoff games, and I hope you and the Knicks are, too. I'm sure there'll be pre-Game 3 news in the near future, but until then, here are some links I've collected over the last few days. - Magpies aren't that exciting-- and especially not the black-billed species that lives out West-- but I had a dream last night that a bunch of...

Hey, the offense! In Game 2, Carmelo Anthony only challenged Roy Hibbert directly at the rim on two occasions, and J.R. Smith once. Bad shots were at a minimum. Good shots were at a maximum. Quentin Richardson head bopped! Things went well. But, why? Everyone touched the ball. It's really that simple. The Knicks were feeling pass happy. Most importantly, Carmelo Anthony was pass...

Well, that feels a whole lot better, doesn't it? It looked for a long while like the Knicks might leave the possibility of 0-2 hanging in the balance down the stretch, but that very much did not happen. After a first half in which the Knicks didn't lead by enough and a third quarter in which they actually fell behind, New York found themselves late and the Pacers just dropped out from...

Guys, there's a game to recap and I promise I'm working on it, but...GUYS. Chris Herring posted a tweet about seeing a Mike Woodson Sean John commercial in a cab. I didn't believe Chris because that's patently absurd, but some quick Googling revealed that, indeed, this thing exists: So very classy. Two obvious highlights here: 1. "I like to think our coaching staff does a good...

Hey, that's more like it! Turnovers forced, offense engaged. Knicks win. I feel hope! Carmelo Anthony led the way with 32 and many of the guards- Pablo Prigioni, Raymond Felton, Iman Shumpert, and Jason Kidd-- made crucial contributions to push the Knicks to the blowout. Also: 100 points in a playoff game! It'd been 14 damn years! Recap later, m'friends. via assets.sbnation.com

Gotta take this one. I have never experienced a more overwhelming sense of terror than I felt the day of Jan. 6, 2007, the day I left America for good. Waves of sheer panic bombarded every nerve ending in my body - that feeling of paralysis, and my empty stomach, were the only things stopping me from heaving my guts out. My father drove me to Newark Airport - I couldn't have driven even if I...

Hi! Hello. Welcome to Tuesday afternoon. The Knicks play their second game against the Pacers tonight and it is a Very Important Game. We'll talk more directly about that game in a few hours. For now, a few links from this uneasy period between Games 1 and 2. - Motmots are South and Central American kingfisher relatives with nice pointy beaks, colorful feathers, and (in most cases) cool...
