So far, the Knicks' Western Conference road trip has consisted of three separate stops in three different cities. With each visit has come an all the more frustrating losing effort for New York. Unfortunately, a sure end to the team's misery does not appear to be in immediate sight. Only time will tell whether or not Carmelo Anthony and/or Tyson Chandler will take the court on Sunday...

Iman Shumpert and the Knicks may prefer fans hold the phone and not panic just yet. After their second straight frustrating loss on the recently embarked upon Western Conference road trip, it's clear the Knicks of March aren't in any way similar to the Knicks of November. Without the likes of Amar'e Stoudemire and Rasheed Wallace, the Knicks' depth has become quite depleted as of...

Without Carmelo Anthony nor Amar'e Stoudemire healthy enough to hit the hardwood for them, the Knicks still managed to win their fair share of ball games last week, despite not exactly having sufficient go-to options on offense. J.R. Smith may represent a dominant scorer or sorts, but the fact remained that the Knicks would have to rely upon a more balanced effort if they truly wanted to pour...

With key offensive contributors from the likes of J.R. Smith, Steve Novak, Kenyon Martin, and Chris Copeland in Saturday night's win over the Jazz, it was difficult to shed light on any of the outings the Knicks' starters had. That said, Iman Shumpert's efforts throughout the contest should boldly stand out most. The versatile sophomore has seemingly struggled since returning from an ACL...

The Knicks have won during stretches without Amar'e Stoudemire before over the last two seasons, and now, they'll just be forced to do it yet again. The news that Amar'e Stoudemire will have surgery on his right knee (forcing him to sit out at least six weeks) is a big blow for a Knicks team that was just starting to find a rhythm with its team more or less at full strength. Of course,...

So close, yet so far. The Knicks can often leave their fans ever so frustrated when letting wins over some of the league's best teams slip right from under them. A very example of them doing so occurred just this past Sunday afternoon, after the Knicks lost a lead to the NBA champion defending Heat and faltered late in the game. Such a loss can leave fans livid for more, but that wasn't...

Currently jockeying with the Pacers for second place overall in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have continued to surprise NBA fans across the globe with their success this season. Though some people have come out of the woodwork to support New York as of late, there's no denying the masses of passionate fans that have stuck by the team since day one are being rewarded while enjoying...

Though the Knicks have defeated the Heat twice already this season in quite dominant fashion, the team New York put on the floor in late 2012 doesn't look like the same one that's been competing in 2013. From the returns of Amar'e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert, to injuries to the likes of Raymond Felton and Rasheed Wallace, and most recently, the struggles of Jason Kidd, the Knicks have had to...

As the Knicks have continued to cool off from what was the team's hottest start in nearly a decade, many have wondered whether they'll be able ignite that same fire again, and furthermore, whether or not they'll be able to hang with the Heat as the elder squad propels to the postseason. With these questions continuing to swirl, Sunday's matchup at the Garden vs. Miami may prove to be one of...

The Knicks' struggles only seemed to continue following the All-Star break, as the team's losing streak reached four frustrating games. But could Sunday night's commanding victory over the 76ers have been a sign that New York's fortunes are changing? As the Knicks look to build upon some potential momentum, myself and Phife Dawg of "A Tribe Called Quest" took time to examine the week ahead....

New York Knick Kurt Thomas is an easy fan-favorite in the Big Apple. The fact that he currently stands tall as the NBA's oldest player would be enough of a novelty reason to root for him, but there's no denying he can partially be credited with bringing the last visible sign of greatness to the Garden. In addition to being a double-double threat and an on the fence all-star during the early...

When the Knicks' signed Chris Smith to a training camp contract this past fall, it was assumed that such a signing was a result of the team's loyalty to his brother, J.R. Smith. Many wondered how far the courtesy would go. After donning a Knicks' Summer League jersey and spending training camp with the team, would the Louisville guard go on to make the squad? Such discussions were put to a...

After months of speculation and closely monitoring his situation, the Knicks signed Kenyon Martin. But what's perhaps more important than that is the fact that they did it the right way. The Knicks started the season 18-5, but in their last 28 games, have gone only 14-14 and furthermore, do not look much like a team that could advance to the second round of the playoffs. Thus, no matter how...

For weeks, rumors have swirled as to whether or not the Knicks would ship Iman Shumpert to a team like the Suns in exchange for perhaps a more versatile contributor in Jared Dudley. As fate would have it, when push came to shove, New York actually ended up putting more eggs in the Shumpert basket as the NBA trade deadline came to pass. According to reports, the Knicks have sent former...

Though the Knicks had plenty of notable representation in Houston for NBA All-Star Weekend 2013, such a weekend was undeniably filled with a fair amount of respective highs and lows. Fresh with reaction straight from Houston, myself and Phife Dawg of "A Tribe Called Quest" hit you hard with our thoughts from the weekend's array of festivities in the latest edition of the KnicksJournal.com...
