Still weird that the Knicks officials talk sometimes. Phil Jackson took questions from reporters today, which was nice of him. Here are some things he said, since there isn't video yet. On Steve Kerr and the coaching search: Phil on Steve Kerr: Says they talked about Steve joining him in Seattle as a coach before the Kings were sold and remained in Sacramento. — Frank Isola...

Weeeeeeeee Hello bigbutts! Welcome, all you bigbutted people! Today is Wednesday and the Knicks still don't have any coaches, so you know there are rumors. Let's do what we can to make sense of the stuff on the internet: 1. There maybe a real coaching search . The way people reported about Steve Kerr, it sounded like there was some chance Phil Jackson would hire Kerr as coach outright...

Bluecheese dreams! The other night I dreamt that I received a letter from Lamar Odom's attorney. Apparently Odom was suing me for libel after I wrote a story claiming that an anonymous source told me that he saw Odom drinking alcohol. I'm not sure why reporting on anyone getting drunk, particularly when the subject is a member of the Kardashian family and had an alleged crack addiction ,...

Kerr's definitely interested. Mike Woodson's gone. The Knicks ' whole coaching staff is composed of open seats (except for one, maybe). Let's take a look through the fallout. Note that some of these "fallout" links were put online before Woodson got fired. Folks saw this coming. - The first thing you'll want to see/hear is Undisputed Frontrunner to Replace Mike Woodson Steve Kerr speaking...

Some thoughts on the departure of one the Knicks' most and least successful coaches ever. Mike Woodson is gone . His whole staff, too. Let's talk. 1. Someone just asked me how I felt about all this, and...I don't know, I don't FEEL much, at least compared to previous firings. For the first time in a while, the Knicks made an obvious move in an obvious manner. The last few departures--...

The day has come. Here, rather early in the day, is the Mike Woodson news we'd been expecting.

Knicks fans don't even know you, but we hate your guts. We hope all the bad things in life happen to you, and nobody but you. There is a line from The Count of Monte Cristo (the film version...readin' is for pussies) where Edmond Dantès says to Mercédès, "Don't take away my hate...it's all I have left." That sentiment always stayed with me -- for as a Knicks ...

Hey, Phil Jackson knows those guys! It is now the offseason in New York. This will be a very offseasony offseason, with new management in place and several uncertainties to solve. It's now fair game to invoke the name of pretty much any person who has ever worked with Phil Jackson as a potential Knicks hire. Slava Medvedenko for Knicks GM! Knicks in talks to bring in Smush Parker to...

Melo, Amar'e, and Tyson spoke. That's it. Exit interviews were today, and they were kinda underwhelming. Only Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, and Amar'e Stoudemire spoke. Obviously, reporters only wanted to know what Melo was thinking about his choice to stay or leave this summer. Here's what he said: Carmelo: Phil Jackson's "knowledge and wisdom is something I could sit down and listen...

There were some. This was a very bad Knicks season. The tale is best told with thick brushstrokes of darkness dotted with moments of sick hilarity. Embedded in all the losing and strife would be stuff like the premature Andrea Bargnani three, Raymond Felton yawning, Bargnani botching dunks, J.R. Smith untying shoelaces, Carmelo Anthony SMHing on the bench and all that. This went up ...

So it ends. KNICKS WIN. KNICKS WIN. KNICKS WIN. KNICKS WIN. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Of course the Knicks gave up an and-one opportunity and a couple threatening rebounds to the Raptors down the stretch of their final game. Of course the last 20 seconds took like 15 minutes and included several unexpected opportunities for Toronto. The Knicks had to Knicks their final game, even if they...

Links! Good day! Tonight brings us the last basketball of the 2013-2014 Knicks season, and the beginning of what should be an eventful offseason. First, we link. - Pupfishes are nice little fishes so named because they appear to nip at each other and chase each other's tails like playing puppies. A number of pupfish species live in really small, extreme habitats. This includes the Devils...

KNICKS NETS Hey, that was fun! The Knicks dominated the Nets as they have a couple times this season, but this time they did it without Carmelo Anthony , with scant minutes for most of the starters, and with a lot of loose, carefree basketball from some deep bench guys. Cole Aldrich played a wonderful game, dropping in some graceful-ass hooks and holding his own around the rim....

They finally did an MRI. For almost two weeks, Carmelo Anthony played with soreness in his right shoulder and occasional "dead arm" feelings. He and the Knicks opted against doing MRI because Melo insisted he wouldn't sit no matter what the MRI showed. He continued to play big minutes, wincing all the while. Well, now that the Knicks have nothing to play for, the medical staff finally took...
