So, Jose Calderon is still in a walking boot ( walking boot ?) today after tweaking his Achilles left week. It sounds like he's out indefinitely, which at a certain point might be done for the season, but for now: #Knicks say Jose Calderon will be re-evaluated in two weeks. — Ian Begley (@IanBegley) March 2, 2015 So, expect to see a bunch more of Langston Galloway, Alexey...

Galloway's clutch shooting has secured one third of the Knicks' wins this year. I'm here to talk to you about numbers and facts. Let's talk about numberfacts. Fact: The Knicks have won 12 games this long, forsaken season. They've played 58 in total. Fact: Langston Galloway has played 21 games with the Knicks. Fact: Langston Galloway has buried four clutch-ass threes this season. I'm not...

On the day Anthony Mason passed away, the Knicks rode a group of scrapping NBA no-names to an exciting win. In a season that's divided some Knick fans between "Do we want to win tonight?" and "Is it ever OK to not want to win?", tonight was a rollicking, enjoyable contest and a second straight exhilarating victory. New York led most of the way and made enough big plays down the stretch to...

Wins. Plural. Please raise your hand if you expected the Knicks to win both games of a back-to-back for the first time this season after losing both Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire? Now put your hands down, you lying scumbags! Fresh off a double-overtime triumph in Detroit, the Knicks returned to a somber MSG and honored Anthony Mason with a shockingly rugged 103-98 over the ...

R.I.P., Anthony George Douglas Mason. The most exciting NBA non-fight I ever saw took place January 26, 1993. Anthony Mason dunked on Manute Bol. Something had been brewing between them during the game, and after the dunk, Bol'd had enough of Mase, so he took a swing at him. Bol missed. He's lucky he did. Not because Bol was a pushover - the man killed a lion while growing up in Sudan....

Woke up this morning to sad news after it had seemed like Anthony Mason was on the mend following heart surgery: A source has confirmed the passing of former Knick Anthony Mason early this morning. Incredibly sad news. — Peter Botte (@PeterBotte) February 28, 2015 Anthony Mason 1966-2015 pic.twitter.com/ktX7oDGjeT — NY_KnicksPR (@NY_KnicksPR) February 28, 2015 Anthony Mason...

Knicks fans tend to glorify the tough guy image of an early '90s team that mostly came from nowhere and damn near climbed to the top of the NBA heap because they were hard as hell and wanted it more than the other guy. No Knick, other than maybe John Starks, embodied that fantasy more than Anthony Mason. Now that he's gone -- taken from us far too soon at the age of 48 -- you're going to hear...

Incredibly sad news. — Peter Botte (@PeterBotte) February 28, 2015 Mason was 48. All thoughts are with the family and friends of a great, beloved Knick who died far too young. Rest in peace,...

Knicks! Winners! The New York Knicks will lose many, many basketball games over the next couple months, before the 2014-15 mercifully draws to a close. Friday night was not one of those games. Instead, the Knicks did the opposite of losing...which is winning. I repeat: the Knicks did not lose this basketball game. It took two overtimes, but they walked out of the Palace with a 121-115...

Hoo-wee, that was either a good one in the worst way possible or a bad one in the best way possible. The Knicks turned what appeared to be a blowout loss into a SLUGFEST with the Pistons. Not a slugfest like a fight, but a slugfest like a bunch of slugs having a party. And then they won! In the final seconds, Langston Galloway finished a stretch in which he totally outplayed Reggie Jackson by...

Call us whatever you'd like...just don't call us Knicks. "The finest trick of the devil is to persuade you that he does not exist. The second-finest trick of the devil is to resurrect washed-up former Knicks , give them a new name, and make them useful contributors for the Miami Heat ." - Charles Baudelaire Pat Riley has haunted the New York Knicks for the past two decades, and from the...

And will probably get fined for talking. Phil Jackson told us recently that he'd hit the road this Spring to watch some draft prospects live. Unless I missed a prior game attended (kinda hard to go unnoticed when you are 6'8 and quite famous), Thursday night was Phil's first stop. He went to Ohio State-Nebraska to get a look at D'Angelo Russell, who had a poor shooting performance but quite a...

The Celtics split this thing wide open late in the third. That happened awfully quickly! The Knicks were honestly giving the Celtics a reasonably tough match through most of three quarters. Boston just decided to turn on the jets, and very suddenly laughed New York off the floor. A blizzard of three-pointers, including a Jonas Jerebko buzzer-beater, snapped the Knicks' ducky-ducky...

The Knicks really competed for a while there. Andrea Bargnani got to the line a bunch, Jason Smith vaguely resembled a post presence, guys defended for whole minutes at a time ... but then the Knicks lost because they are not a basketball team. Even less of a basketball team than the Celtics, who are also not a basketball team, are. At least this one had a somewhat nicer rotation. Cleanthony...

Kevin Pelton, a writer who I trust and admire-- put together the NBA portion of ESPN's Great Analytics Rankings this week. The Knicks are buried, along with the Nets and Lakers, among the league's "non-believers" in advanced statistical analysis. They're actually ranked second-to-last in *all of pro sports*. You can read the whole Knicks blurb here . That blurb includes, as far as I can...
