Dear Knick beat writers:
I am starving for NY Knicks basketball. Stephon Marbury is gone, so that means the drama is gone. So I ask you. Can you please get off Curry's ars and please just talk about the Knicks. What were the defensive drills? How did everyone look? I know some of you are reading this. Thank you.

I think you'd have better luck begging someone to go to a Grizzlies game.

Dear Knick Beats,

I writes better than you'se, and my opinions is more fundamental. So, I don't readyou, but sometimes I read hahn.

I +1 EnySpree and his Hahn endorsement, he's the only readable one.

Berman's reporting is flat out horrible and Fox News biased against anything researched, analytical or nuanced

He sucks. Period. End Of Story.

Why does he get paid again?

I think Hahn might be the only beat writer that actually likes the Knicks. Berman clearly dislikes them. Isola just makes stuff up cause he might not actually even follow the Knicks.

Alan Hahn is the best of the bunch but even he's been a bit of a hack at times and, well, Cablevision owns Newsday.

I dunno, I mean, he clearly isn't knocking the Knicks and sticks within the so-called party lines, but he seems to speak his mind and to give a clear understanding of where his information is coming from.

I kind of like the guy cause I am certain he posted on here for a while. Finished some of his posts with one of the catch phrases 'just bloggin' -- like he wanted to be recognized. Haven't seen a post from him in some time though.

I don't think Hahn is too bad, but I agree with K 22... I mean, this is the same ownership that fired Marv Albert for being too critical at the end of the good times

Message from the Knicks to the Knick beat writers:

"Please just ignore what you see from the Knicks for the next 10 months. Please find something else to cover, fashion trends, restaurant openings, just not the Knicks. We'll continue to pretend that the MSG Network is a high-school football channel just to keep the public in the dark."

Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

Maybe I am not as offended by private censorship. I wouldn't want a public spokesperson for my company criticizing me on my dime. While I can't stop the guy from saying what he wants to say, I don't have to pay for it. Marv Albert doesn't create the sympathetic victim either.

Even if there is a MSG directive against criticism of the of the administration of the Knick's and the ownership's douchebaggery, it is slightly different than calling the guy a hack cause he is employed by the same ownership. I've never thought that Hahn's pieces are puff material. I think he shows some general excitement about the Knicks and I like that. Maybe I am naive to think that his excitement is naturally conceived and not formulated by his paycheck, but I think he genuinely likes the Knicks.

Hahn's cool, but I don't think you HAVE to like the Knicks to be a beat writer...

That said, I like Beck for trying to do some original reporting, amongst other things. His article today was actually about what took place in practice.

Knickerblogger/Mike Kurylo and his other writers' analysis of a wide range of topics is usually very much worth reading.

Tommy D is also worth checking for summing up other reports out there.

I admit I may go back on my Adamek comments, somewhat. I just didn't care for that one piece he did. Others have been better.

Berman and Isola are pretty much not worth reading at all. I might even argue Isola is worse.

I love Berman. Everyone sucks, everything is a disaster, everyone has wronged everyone. I love it.
I just hope that people will like me

Hahn is my favorite cuz it feels like he's one of us on the inside. He gets the info he knows we want to hear and only bashes the team when it's deserved. He's not writing piece after piece from a negative view just to be nasty. Why would fans want to read that? We want details on what we can't see or hear from the team.

Another think with hahn is he actually played ball and understands what hes seeing. He broke down the offense, salary cap, front office and was very thorough and on point. Hes the absolute best by far and a breath of fresh air from what the Knicks beat writers have been doing for the past 20 years I been reading the papers.

Shout out to Howard beck as well. Times have a higher standard so you will always see creative writing from him. Its funny, hahn only mentions beck and never any other beat writers. Says a lot to me, but I never read the others anyway.
